After waking to a ground full of snow Saturday morning, and hearing that the Blue Ridge Parkway was closed (as many sections of the road ice up) some of us decided to make Saturday a Hiking day and take advantage of the numerous hiking trails along the ridge.
The scenery was beautiful, including lots of snow and icicles. Although we enjoyed the beauty nature had bestowed on us. . . . . .we openly hoped for warmer temps throughout the day.
We even took some time to stop and pose for a group picture.
The Women. . . . . . . .
Our hike was about 2 hours. . . . . .and I actually wore my heart rate monitor to see what my HR was. I was in "endurance" the whole time. . . . . .with a heart rate comparable to an endurance bike ride. Sometimes it's fun to do "other training". I can't stick to a rigid plan 100% of the time and be happy. Variety is good.
