We had a 6:30am arrival time at Daley Ranch for this 6.32mi hike with 568ft elevation gain. The temp was in the high 40s when we got there, but the sky was clear and soon the sun warmed us up. There was a surprise steep hill at the end and it spiked my heart rate — in a humbling way. Decided I really needed to double down on hill training and so that is what I did the next day.

Fundraising is going OK. I got to $2,088 and seem to have stalled. Tom was at $110, but was able to get up to $548 by midday on Sunday. He will have a company match of $750 which will help. Then, we are going to do some baking with hope that even with a trickle of sales, will get us to our $5000 goal.

We are expecting 3 days of rain starting on Monday, so we went out early on Sunday for some hill work.

Did about 938 feet of elevation over 4.12mi. Heart rate was fine on the front side ascent, but spiked again on the backside. The second time, heart rate was much better.
