pre shabbos hike 19 and 22 July 2019

My pre shabbos hike this past Friday was once again in extremely hot weather. I'm not sure the length but by the end I was melted into a pool of water and my legs felt like jelly. I hiked until I could hike no more. The purpose of my hike was not only for the exercise but in search of Chantrels, a delicious mushroom that is highly prized by chefs and foodies alike. Hopefully in the coming months while we still have summer and light fall weather I will find my prized gourmet mushrooms during my hikes. While I didn't find these particular ones I took lots of pictures which included some pretty but non edible species as well as other scenery and a golf ball.

Today (the 22nd) while I didn't do any formal exercise my work was walking up and down three flights of stairs with trash and boxing up books in very hot weather without air conditioning with exception to the short break I took on the first floor. I did this for 6 hours today. I think I can count that as exercise though. Tomorrow will be the same but possibly longer hours.
