It's official: I am out of shape
There is a popular hiking trail near my home, called the M trail. Which should be explained I guess.... Schools and universities in Montana will put their school's initials up on a hill or mountain. anyway, there are a couple of trails that go to the M in Bozeman. The normal route (green) is about 1.2 miles, and gains 800 feet in elevation. There is an extreme route (pink) that's just 3/4 mile, but it very steep, poorly maintained, and covered in loose gravel. Only insane people go the short route.

Last summer, I hiked the M almost every single day. Over the winter I obviously couldn't do this because of the snow and all. Today, we finally decided that it was warm enough that we should try. We didn't even make it to the major switchback on the left part of this photo....

1. If it's any consolation, I can totally relate.

3. I thought that mods had to be in the top percentile in the President's
Test of Physical Fitness. Are you saying you're not mod material?

I'll be in Bozeman tomorrow through Saturday night, by the way. Sleeping on the floor of a $0.25 booth at Miss Kitty's.

back when the ex-Priest ran it and described to my friend Matt how the butyl-nitrate made him feel like he was "exploding" when he was experiencing the big moment.

No, I'll be staying at my brother's house which is somewhere on the outskirts.

6. That's okay.
I am so out of shape that I hope to eventually land the lead role in the next remake of the Blob... as the Blob.

7. Out of practice, not out of shape.
You took 4 months off. First day back isn't going to be a rewind to last day on. You'll readjust, and be back to doing it every day if you stick with it.
