We had a fitness hike today, covering 5.8 miles in two hours including several stops for clothing removal and water. The group looked strong, so they got pushed a bit! Not only did we keep up a hefty pace, but we did the warm-up hill twice, once at the beginning of the hike and again toward the end. The group got their money's worth today.

Congratulations to Gary and Dawn for their first-place up the warmup hill (first time) and Neil for putting on the speed up the hill the second time. (There was a competitive sprint between Mike and Neil, but Neil prevailed.)

It was nice to see Jennifer H. today - - a member I've hiked with only twice before. She had no problem keeping up with the group today.

The weather today was great for our hike . . . warm, but cloudy. I'm so proud of the group for handling the extra pace/distance! ~ Joyce
