Ben and I keep talking about doing an "order of operations hike list" this year based on what'll be open and when. I see a lot of weekend trips to Phil's World in my future this year πŸ˜‚

I know that feeling of having a go-to trail. I have one myself, I call it Milk Thistle Hill, it overlooks the Elah Valley in Israel, the place where David fought Goliath. (I wrote about it here: https://thehealthyjew.substack.com/p/milk-thistle-hill.)

One advantage I find of having a regular route is that it helps be mindful with running, because I don't need to decide which way to go every minute. Familiarity fosters presence.
