This morning, I woke up and just had to get moving. Determined not to spend one more day indoors, I set off to hike the ENTIRE Augusta Canal trail... that's 6.4 miles! And it's an out and back, so 12.8 miles total! WOW! I set out at 10:15 and made it back by 2:45. I am exhausted. Such a beautiful walk.
I took all these pictures on the way out, and resolved to just walk the whole way back without checking my phone/camera. However, I had to make a concession when I saw this little guy cross my path...
That's a turtle!
And this is what I looked like when I got back. This picture was taken by my new friend Brenda at the Canal visitor's center. I'm completely beat, and rocking a college Chi O family shirt!
Labor day has come and gone, and I'm ready for fall and more outdoor fun. If the next hike could be about ten degrees cooler next time, that would be super.
