Good week at the gym plus a nice bike ride on Friday. Yesterday's hike was 7 miles with 2300+ft climbing with 40lb pack. Tried my stiffer boots and no knee or hip issues. A couple of hot spots but not bad, could've been the socks too.. While the Salomons are nice to hike in, once the weight gets to 40lb the stiffer La Sportiva's seem better. Harder to walk quiet though.
