Still finding it hard to balance work and exercise, but I did manage to drag dear wife out to Almaden Quicksilver Park this afternoon for probably a 5 mile hike. We were following familiar trails, but the dramatically cloudy day added a bit of drama. We also found a new dirt road bulldozed up one hillside. I was hoping they were planning for some new trails and roads around the old mining areas on the top of the hill, but it instead led to some water tanks for the horse troughs at the top of the hill.

Still, it was hiking, and it was exercise. I’ve been really bad about keeping active; I’ve used our exercise bike a couple times, but it doesn’t hold my attention well enough.

Just need to figure out a way to hike regularly…
