Wanted to start the year out with a bang.  This meant hooking up with Oreo and tackling Grandeur Peak Loop.  He had never done it, so wanted to take him up.  As usual the first 2 miles are a never ending slogfest on a steep vertical stair stepper.  Beautiful views and blue sky with no wind.  hotter than we expected.  Sweating like a beast.  Backside was sweet.  No falls today.  Tired and out of gas by the end but feel good.

First two miles very sore quads and low energy from yesterday's Grandeur pounding, but then things loosened up and I felt good.  Just a spin around the neighborhood in the fine spring weather.  Good news too, I went to the Ortho doc and found I have no fractures or significant strains in wrist from fall on ice last month, just nagging pain which I can deal with.
