Hikes In Denim

A rainy start to the first half, then it cleared up nicely for a bit. Now it’s back to thunder storming. It was nice to get outside again after being inside during all the rain this week.

Did a 5.5 mile walk on the north coast of Scotland today - from Cullen to Findlater Castle - wearing the 19oz LHT samples to try and accelerate the fading. I can safely say it is not the most pleasant denim in the world for hiking in…

I mean let's be real… are any jeans really ideal for hiking? You're doing it for the fades like a champ though, so more power to ya

Also that looks insanely beautiful.

After the first mile, crazy thunderstorm. Got completely soaked through. Was still fun!

Thanks [mention]dinobarnesberlin [/mention] ! I definitely want to do a gif/video of my progress after 100 hikes. Not sure how yet. But I’m sure I can figure it out

I guess my route didn’t track today. Oh well… Ethan says “whaddayagonnado”?

[Fadez]

Thanks [mention]Giles [/mention] ! I know that I wouldn’t have seen half of this without the slubs, I am so grateful to be wearing them on my adventures!!

[Giles]

Oh, and is Ethan cute or what?

This next one is my new favorite. Tree Heart + Iron Heart = [emoji172][emoji172] [emoji16]

25 Hikes in. 1/4 of the way. Feels good. The slubby denim are great companions.  For the next 25 hikes. I want to try to incorporate some speed runs. A little goal I have is to go 3 miles per hour. But a 6 mile hike in 2 hours. Sometimes when I’m taking photos it’s 25 to 30 minutes. And that’s fine. I’m having fun. I also want to hit a bit more cardio in. So I think I’ll try to do a more pure workout 2/3 times a week and see how that goes. I’m already icing my feet and taking Epsom salt baths. I might as well push it into full gear. I still have the entire north side of Yellow Creek Lake to explore. I’m excited to show you more of what Western PA has to offer. Thanks to everyone who keeps ups and contributes! I appreciate you!

Love the tree heart…...

Father’s Day speed run was a success. It was different passing up some cool photo opportunities for pace this time. I’m happy with the results and it will definitely fade the denim a little more as I sweat and traveled more in them. Here is also my two boys Damian Kofi and Ethan Kojo. Pretty much the cutest thing ever of Kofi brushing Kojo’s hair. They make me a proud dad. They’re lovely children.

This is a really silly clip of a cartoon that has been playing in my head since the tree heart thing happened. If anyone knows Adventure Time and this episode… so good, so weird. In the tree, part of the tree.
