Warming up...

The first walk around Clear Lake was brutal on my calves and thighs. So to avoid the re-experience of sore muscles I've been in training... walking and running the hilly roads around the Mountain Of Attention Sanctuary in the late evenings.

Last night, down along Cache Creek, near the start of Loch Lomond Road, the moon stretched a shiny ribbon through the nearby swamps. The frogs were deafening. The land is powerful there, the natural energy of the area and its inhabitants irrepressible, vitalizing.

If you're planning to participate in these Walkabouts I encourage you to prepare a little (or a LOT).

And warm up a bit before-hand (stretches etc) and cool off gradually afterwards (gentle walking & more stretching).
