Memorial Day Hike

This morning I climbed Kennesaw Mountain, with several guys from Sunday School. Nice and not too misty. About 1-1/8 up and down. Brian, Dan, Steve, Jim, and David. Also Brian's dog, Winston. When we got to the top it was too cloudy to see anything.

The plan is to hike the mountain every Saturday morning, stretching it out to go up Kennesaw, then continue over to Little Kennesaw Mountain and down the other side, then hike back - a total of 6.6 miles. It’ll be good for me to add in a different kind of training. Gotta get some hiking poles. 

After the hike I stopped by the Goodwill just west of the Marietta Square, then across the street to McDonalds for a bacon egg & cheese biscuit. Then straight east back to the gym, for the sauna and treadmill. 

Stopped by the house, then made an afternoon excursion. Stopped by three more thrift stores looking for those hiking poles. Got a frosty from Wendy’s and a BOGO chicken sandwiches from McDonald’s.

Drove up to Beaver Mazda in Cumming for a presentation on their new CS-5 SUV. Those who attend are entered to win a 3 year lease. I was the only one at the 2 pm presentation, but they said about 50 had attended throughout the day. The drawing is Friday. 

After church yesterday we just hung around the house, watching golf and the Braves.
