I hope this finds everyone well and with their health and wealth intact in these wacky times.

Here's my August workout. Cyn and I did the John Muir Trail; she got the "golden ticket" permit from Yosemite to Mt. Whitney (inclusive). As you can see over 234 miles... 9 passes (or 11, depending who's counting) with the tallest being Forester @ 13,200'.... 32k total climbing... finishing at Whitney @ 14,400' or thereabouts and then a death march out to Whitney Portal. I lost 15 lbs, haha. Had some real concerns about a funky knee but I figured out how to manage it just before we embarked and it just got stronger as the days went on. Thank GOD for trekking poles. I have about a zillion photos but I don't want to blow up the thread. I'll send some out privately. The photo is on top of Glenn Pass, the 2nd to last pass, about 12k' high. My aerobic system is a fine tuned machine right now.
