Mission Peak #23: Shin-termission Over

Back in action after a couple of weeks off to let some cranky shin splints cool down. Hit the trail at 8:20AM for Mission Peak #23, and it felt good to be back hiking instead of sitting on the sidelines.

The hills have officially gone summer-mode golden brown and crispy but the trail itself is in good shape.

Took it steady and didn’t push the pace as this was all about getting back in the groove. Clear skies, slight breeze, and a solid reminder that I actually missed this uphill nonsense.
