I was able to sneak out of the house for a bit this morning on the pretense of looking for a furnace filter at McGuckins, yet soon found myself at the Cragmoor TH, ready to get in some quick fresh air. After 4 days off, I felt decent at the start, but my lack of sleep over the past few nights feeding and changing Amelie and Isabelle was quickly creeping up on me. I stubbed my toe and almost fell twice on the way up, as I was feeling a bit lethargic. I just backed off the pace a bit and went back and forth between the high end of moderate and the low end of moderate. I was a complete dope on the downhills/technical and it took all of my concentration to not fall off the edge of the mountain. It was still awesome to be out on a fine Fall day and have a little time to myself.
