If my website is called “Terrific Taste,” why are all my posts about hiking and exercise?
That’s what my brother asked me the other day. “That ice cream photo is such a tease,” he said.
He’s not wrong. If you didn’t know me, you might actually get the impression that I’m an active, outdoorsy person.
Hah.
This weekend, I dragged myself out of bed and hauled myself up to the Lanikai pillboxes for the first time.
I’m not going to lie, I had a rough start. My legs started to burn about 30 seconds into the trail. My body was not used to going uphill.
Eventually that faded and I found myself looking forward to the next scenic spot, then the next. The trail is filled with them.
We stopped at both pillboxes before turning back, though the trail continues along the ridge and into Waimanalo.
The hike showcased what turned out to be a beautiful day (check out those clouds!) and I was happy I did it.
The scrumptious pancake breakfast that followed didn’t hurt either.
