Coyote Call Trail

The BESC group went to the Coyote Call Trail today. There were 6 of us. Mary was there to sign up people but said we'd probably have to find a new leader. Darlene told me that Mary had been in the hospital but Darlene didn't know any other details. This is only Darlene's 3rd hike she's ever taken and she loves hiking. She's gone twice with the BESC group and once with a YMCA group from Albuquerque. She was very enthusiastic about the hike she took with them - the Valle Grande Trail.

I was going to stay with the group on the Coyote Call loop but when they went a tiny way on the Alamo Boundary Trail, I had to keep going. I was telling myself while walking out to Dome Road that I am so lucky to live in such a beautiful area with all the trails we have.

My foot is no better. It's very distressing. I wish I knew of something to help it right now. I'll do some stretching and strength work this afternoon.

I usually don't eat a lunch but I was ravenous today. I ate a can of beans, 2 pieces of rye bread, a tomato, a smear of sesame paste, and a cinnamon apple Clif Nectar bar but I'm still hungry.
