Taking yesterday off was definitely the right call to make. I feel significantly better today. I actually got seven hours of decent sleep last night (for the first time in a long time), and I felt solid if a little bit slow on my run this morning.
Yesterday afternoon, just to get out of the house for a little while, I took Dixie on a hike up to the "L" on Mount Jumbo, the hill just to the east of our house. The L is just that, a giant concrete "L", painted white, that was installed on the hillside some time ago by the local high school as their response to the "M" on Mount Sentinel which was first put in place by University of Montana students in the early 1900s. The "M" and Mount Sentinel overlook the U of M campus and are directly across the river from Mount Jumbo. It was a very pleasant walk, and the view from up there was wonderful, even if the day was a little overcast. Here's a few pictures:
Looking down the Clark Fork River, which runs through the heart of Missoula.
The trail to the "L". You can actually see it in the distance - the white spot half-way up the hillside.
Almost there.
Dixie up on the L, investigating.
Self-portrait with the view from the L. Clearly Dixie found something more interesting to look at.
Well, that's all for now. Just wanted to let you know I'm doing better. Now for some lunch!
