Today's hike is dedicated to my Aunt Kay-O.

It's been exactly a month since my last hike.  UGH!

Mountains to Sea trail off Falls of Neuse.  I've done this section before, just needed to rack up some miles after work.  Next time, I should at least hunt down a different section of the MST.

Less than a mile into the regular white dot trail, there were big signs saying it was closed for construction. So, I went back and took the blue dot detour, which ended up just reconnecting with the white dot trail later.  It was actually more pleasant that way, except for the spider webs.  I also was startled by a deer on the trail - I was deep in thought, looking down.  I just happened to look up and see a deer in the middle of the trail about 30 feet away just staring at me.  I stopped and gasped, which was enough to scare her off into the woods.  My quickest mile was 15:30.

I am really behind on my miles.  Life has been very busy lately.  I need to start squeezing in more of these weekday hikes in addition to weekends to make up for lost time.
