Hiking

I don't get in the mountains much anymore since moving to the mid-west, but I have begun hiking again. It isn't in nature or woods, but it is certainly a hike at least twice weekly. Where?
The University of Kansas campus. I climb from the bottom of the hill to the top. By the end my leg muscles are burning. I counted steps once, I stopped counting at one hundred and sixty-seven. I decided I just don't want to know...whatever it is it's enough to wear me out. One unintended benefit of returning to school - stronger calf muscles. Whoever says Kansas is flat hasn't walked in my shoes...
