One down, five to go

With 8 straight days of hiking looming only four weeks away, I have set myself the goal of doing the Grouse Grind 6 times between today and July 12. So, tonight was climb number 1 with a time of 1:07:08, which is a great improvement over my most recent effort (apparently chatting and singing at the top of one's lungs does slow you down a bit). It was a beautiful evening, and I actually enjoyed the hike quite a bit. I don't think I've ever done it by myself before and, as nice as it is to have company, I sort of liked that I could get into a nice rhythm of my own. I'm almost, sort of, a bit looking forward to next time. Kinda.
