Life in Tucson is just about as normal as it can get. Up 750 feet and 3 miles round trip on Tumamoc Hill in the early morning followed by a four or five mile walk home. Later some shopping and planning for the hike to come. Visits with family in between. Trying to keep my diet in check.
I'm anxious to get back on the trail, but that's not happening anytime soon. On June 11 and 12 I'll travel with Betsy to Flagstaff and from there back to Kennedy Meadows where I'll pick up again. I'm excited to see that Hatchet/Danger and Snapchat have made it safely to places in the Sierra despite the snow and ice.
I made an appointment with Jake at Agility Sports and Spine Physical Therapy to look at a problem I developed in my right foot while going up the hills in Berkeley. I think I stressed something a bit. Not broken, but not feeling all that good either. Next Tuesday I should have some idea of how to treat it.
The Memorial Day weekend sale at REI left me minus lots of money as I bought supplies for the trip along with a long sleeved wool layer. I've been wearing a synthetic layer that does a good job of keeping me warm, but it stinks fairly quickly. My wool shirts don't stink, even after five days of sweating, so wool it is!
This week we'll be headed up to Show Low for a little escape from the Tucson heat. I plan to continue walking at the 6800 foot elevation so I'll stay in shape for a return to Kennedy Meadows.
