#Today 01

Good day, & Happy New Year!

Year in review: May 2025.

Almost went for an easy hike yesterday, but refrained, despite needing it for my mental health. It was only 2-days since my last bad Covid day.

I need to string together more than 3 good days before I venture out.

Be everwell.

At the end of June 2024 we started a 6-day hut trekking tour, the Lechquellenrunde. Reservation problems at two huts forced us to change our original plan and follow the trail in reverse. After staying in Sankt Anton am Arlberg the days before, we reached our starting point, Lech-Zürs, by bus. From there it was a rather short hike up to the first hut, the Stuttgarter Hütte, which is situated at 2310 m right on the Tyrol side of the Tyrol-Vorarlberg border. Because the weather was really "meh" and we reached the hut at 10 o'clock in the morning, we had lots of time to chat with an employee of the hut, who studied in the same city as us.

Duration: 2 hours (including small breaks)
Length: 5.75 km
Elevation: 1715 m to 2310 m
Ascent/Descent: 635 m ↑ and 40 m ↓

Well Happy New Year to everyone!

Started with the customary #parkrun at the local - somewhat groggy after a NYE party at the neighbours. Lovely to see everyone, as always.

I visit the ruined remains of 12th Century Lilleshall Abbey in Shropshire. I walk around and talk a little about the history and the ghostly Black Monks of this fascinating haunted historic religious site.

Good day!

Year in review: Apr 2025.

My extra sleep paid off yesterday. I felt pretty good, like this morning. I even cooked a decent meal.

Mostly, though, it was about resting, though I stayed busy in low-key ways. I’m anxious to do more, but striving for patience.

Be everwell.

Final hike of our Christmas R&R break had to be a beach walk on this 60° winter day!

Good day!

Year in review: Mar 2025.

I dove into drafting & finished! A part of me can’t believe it, & some of it is Covid hazy.

Finishing early means time for rest & sleep, especially over the next couple of days. Last night, for instance, I slept for 10 hours.

Be everwell.

This holiday we officially divested ourselves from Amazon and Disney, went to as many local holiday events as possible and shopped local, and got ourselves outside. It was a good holiday. A happy New Year to you and yours, friends. #eattherich #getoutside #albuquerque #newmexico
