Another long weekend of back to back runs. Saturday run and up and down pack Monadnock 4x (again) but felt way stronger than last weekend. Didn’t have cramps, was consistent on each loop. Pack Monadnock gave me 10.08 miles, 3261′ elevation and took 4:05 hours.

That evening Kenny and I went to a Tedeschi Trucks concert – which was awesome! …. but allowed for little sleep (<3 hrs) before I had to get up early Sunday to drive up to the N/S Twin trailhead to meet Amy Wilson.

Amy and I did the N/S Twins + Galehead (most boring peak ever) which was 14.3 miles, 5285′ elevation gain and took us 10:13 hours on an 80F day. Pretty tired when we ended – has a long flattish part along a stream for a mile or so at the beginning and end.

N/S Twins – from S. Twin you could see the Galehead hut which seemed far away and had a brutal steep ~0.5 section just before you got there:

Galehead is the most boring summit I’ve been at so far, truly a waste of time except to mark it off the list!

The hike down to the hut was scary because I kept thinking we had to go back up! In reality, going up wasn’t bad at all – one foot in front of the other.
