Goals &c.

Well, I'm back on the WW train, again, after several detours into eating craptastically. Made it to AquaFit yesterday, and've been reaching that goal (1x/week, minimum) steadily anyway. Today I start work on my next goal/reward: hiking all of the 30+ miles of the Wildwood Trail in Forest Park, in segments. Yeah, I achieve my reward - ability to do more hiking - by working towards my goal of hiking more. Chicken & Egg, in a good way!

Today's trail: 3.84 miles from Pittock Mansion to the End/Start of the Wildwood Trail (MP 0) near the Veteran's Memorial in Washington Park. E2 & I'll park one car down there, near the zoo, then carpool up to Pittock Mansion. Eventually perhaps I'll be able and willing to hike UP to the Pittock Mansion, but I'm a long ways away from that.

What's nice about this trail selection for 2020's Wildwood Trail Hike #1: 'twas the final segment of 2019's Wildwood Trail goal, and 'twas the first hike of 2011's All Trail Challenge when E2 and I travelled all 80+ miles of trails in Forest Park. We hiked all but Leif Erikson Trail's 11-and-a-bit miles, which we mountain-biked. (E2 did all of Forest Park again last year on her own, and joined me for chunks of Wildwood Trail. She's also a decade younger and far fitter. ;-)

Onward!
