Green

From Chautauqua, Mesa, Bear Canyon, Green-Bear, West Ridge, Green; down Greenman, Saddle Rock, Amphitheater, Baseline.

Started at 6:16 am. Wanted something a little longer today. Got a bit more than I wanted as there was a fair bit of fresh snow, especially in upper Bear Canyon, where it seemed like it was maybe five inches deep at times. Slow going for me.

Took four days off due to left knee and left/right (mostly right) achilles bothering me. The knee was my main concern. I don't have a clue what happened to it. It just started hurting after standing up from my desk at work Friday afternoon. Pretty sure the achilles was from the sharp increase in vert lately. This morning, the knee felt great for the most part. Didn't really notice it. The right achilles nagged on the Mesa Trail and into Bear Canyon. Didn't notice it as much after lower Bear. The deeper snow in Bear may have "iced" it a bit, then I was mostly walking upper Bear and Green-Bear.
