I'm walkin' here, just walkin' here...

Patrick and I went on a hike yesterday, starting my goal to do the trails in griffith park -- we walked around the hollywood reservoir, all was good except the last big hill -- my asthma kicked up a bit.

Things to remember next time: sunglasses or a hat, sun glare was a pain in the ass. Sunscreen! I mean, really, how dumb am I? Must find comfy hiking pants, jeans are too heavy and hot -- I'll try sweatpants next time, tho I need to buy more of those, and target has these great workout shirts that are a mix of cotton and lycra that seem to wick well, and not that expensive... (we're going again tomorrow night)

and new socks. Apparently, mine have been steadily disappearing, and unfortunately, when a size 13 foot wears 'em, they dont really fit me anymore...

(off to pick up some of these things tonite!)

the hike itself was lots of fun -- got to see a coyote and some bunnies, as well as walk by a dog park, and some lovely houses. Drank plenty of water and cytomax and went back to P's place for a bbq of TJ's uncured beef hot dogs, corn on the cob and tomatoe salad...

:) YUM!

Its been really humid here, so yea, wearing jeans yesterday was horrible. I like thor-los too, wearing two socks is too much work for me -- I think a stop at sports chalet to pick up some socks would be good. :)

I took along my asthma inhaler, tho I think I should also put eyedrops, and putting together a tiny first aid kit would be a good idea -- we arent hiking anywhere FAR from civilization yet, so each thing I learn so far is good.

Cytomax ROCKS tho, I'd forgotten how helpful it is in feeling better after getting sweaty, and hot.
