Sunday morning stroll

After an active day yesterday, MrGrumpy was worried that he would suffer this morning with aches and pains. But no, he was pretty much as normal.
After his usual breakfast of Cereal and Orange Juice he went out for a walk, this time he extended the block a little and almost round again. He had covered 8000 steps / 4.42m and it was still only 9:30 when he got back.

By midday he could not decide what to do, finally he got in the car and drove to Los Gatos. His idea was to stroll around town with his camera. But he got tempted by the Los Gatos Train signs, and started walking again.
The trail started off flat and quite boring, then when he thought it was just going to turn and head back it started to climb. The trail led to another St Joseph's Hill, it should have come as no surprise that this trail involved going up hill. Fitbit recorded a climb of 59 floors, 12 in 5 minutes. He was amused to see the warning signs, it reminded him of the American Warewolf in London quote "Stay on the road. Keep clear of the moors".
By the time he had got to see the view of the Lexington reservoir then trail started to descend. MrGrumpy decided he had done enough of walking up hills for today and headed back to Los Gatos in search of a beer flavoured refreshment. 
After a quick beer he had a walk through Los Gatos looking for something to eat, he did not find anything that he wanted and headed back to the car, he was just going to get a Chicken Pita from Jack-in-the-box near home.

Overall he did another 20000 steps / 10.25 miles today and his legs and feet are slightly suffering for it.


Time for MrGrumpy to chill out and watch TV/Netflix for the rest of the afternoon and evening.
