A bird's eye view from the mountains
Up next is a piece on our trek to Mission Peak, Fremont last weekend.
It was one of those perfect days to go on a trek with the sun glowing after a long absenteeism on luscious green velvet mountains. The foothills of Mission Peak welcomed us with its long winding trails, cheery dogs, chirpy kids and enthusiastic people. We took a while and some pamphlets to decide on the trail; only to forget about it along the way and meander like the grazing cows! The views were simply breathtaking, overlooking a dozen million dollar homes, bridges, freeways and the ocean way beyond.
Nonetheless, we managed to finish 75% of one of the trails and rolled back. The downhill was a lot more easier and fun. We zipped down in seconds owing to the steepness of the peak.

We warmed up by slowly walking up the hill, chatting until the impending trail intrigued me to jog. As I jogged, it didnt take too long for me to huff and puff and halted for a break early in the game. The pace was unspeakable beyond that point, urging the unwilling muscles and bones to move drawing motivation from much older people who hiked up without a flinch.
Thats when I asked 'A', "Dude, we're 27 and we can't climb up a hill, where are we heading?"
'A' then willingly agreed that he was 28 and not 27 :P (Men! I tell you )

All said and done, we thoroughly enjoyed our trek, panting, chatting, eluding menacing dogs while savoring the spectacular views. Albeit some sore muscles, the trek was all fun - good company, a gust of fresh air and a lovely day to compliment it!
Verdict:
Mission Peak: Brilliant!
Mission Peak: Brilliant!
Our Mission: Accomplished!
Revelation: Our physical fitness is pitiable! Im planning to step it up a notch and work out more often. As for 'A'...Nah! he stays unaffected :P
