I started my training today.
First-aid kit, flashlight, yoga mat, yoga book, journal, gallon water, jar of peanut butter, raisins, two fish knives, cell phone, sweaters, tape
"Loop D" Tyler State Park. Pine tree forest. 2.14 miles. Start time of 4:30pm.
Mantra: Do not get lost or take too many rests. Learn to read map better.
Other thoughts... What would I do if I came across a pack of hogs? A cougar?
The pack is a challenge on the hills.
Those trees I could climb and the hogs wouldn't get me. Is it better to appear confident to a mountain lion, or would he take that as a challenge? Would pretending not to see him matter?
If I die today, at least I die living.
The pine forest, one of my many homes.
I see the lake. Close to safety. Close to the noise.
End of trail. 5:30pm. My pack did not slow me down- next time make it heavier.
After the trail, I found this fallen tree and did some yoga on it. Namaste!
