Hiking with a Purpose

I am sooo grateful to have the best hiking right in my back yard. I don't need to go anywhere. Not much of it is flat, so that is very good for training. I decided to go with a purpose. Every time I saw a can, they were all off the road, I dove off the side and threw it back up on the rode. My head would say, that's too steep, and then the other little voice would say, ah but you are training to climb Mt. Shasta ...Hello:-) I went for 4miles, it levels off around 3 but I was walking in snow so it wasn't easy. On the way back I picked up 9 cans and put them in my pack. Round trip 7.5miles. 2hrs. 55min. Free had a wonderful time chasing stuff, who knows how many miles he logged onto his feet:-) That is the back road to Mt. Shasta, I think around 10 miles to Ney Springs. That would be kool to do, but I would have to have someone come and pick me up:-)
