Winter hikes

I took three long hikes since coming back from the Middle East, but I still do not feel quite back to my pre-middle east strength level. Three months sight-seeing made my legs lazy. Last week’s 19.9 mi training hike Austin/Furnace - Jones Run/Doyles River was half via snow, and my socks were wet half of the time. But I might see more snow than my friends on the ski slops within 3-hr drive from DC.  I brought 2 liters of water, but I did not finish it. I drink much less in winter.   

I checked my hiking log with the group and realized this was the third time I took the exact training hike: June 2011, April 2012, and January 2014.
