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!

Dug around deeper into some drawers today and realized that there's a bunch of clothes I can now and/or will soon fit back into, which feels awesome. Now have back some fave t-shirts, and pairs of shorts, and by the time it's really chilly again should be able to fit back into my Carharts pants and jacket.

Also planning to get out for more hiking now that I can do so again. Tomorrow's hike's gotten postponed due to MUD concerns after today's and yesterday's massive downpours, but next Wednesday's initial Wildwood Trail outing should go off without a hitch.

I've decided to hike the entire 30+ miles of Forest Park's Wildwood Trail this year. It'll take many days over the next few months to do it all, but it's totally doable. Various folks will join me for various portions. If anybody here's interested, let me know and we can coordinate schedules.
