Today I went on my first cross-training hike with a lovely bunch of ladies from my running group...AND I LOVED IT!
The trail went 13+ km around castle ruins and ponds in the nearby village of Homburg. There was a great mix of terrain and the scenery was simply gorgeous! Some of the hills were a little intense but it's awesome training for my next race...an upside for my backside!
Here are some pics from today's hike along with a link for the
Top 10 Health Benefits of Hiking, I highly recommend giving it a try!
Although I have to be honest and admit that I probably won't do a 4 hr hike and deep water running again in the same week...very, very aware of my quads and calves here...
