FIRST OF ALL, GREAT CATCH UP EFFORT!!! Awesome, seriously, as someone who has spent the past 30 years of their lives behind in basically every task, goal, anything in my life I can sincerely appreciate this post. Well done. Congrats!

Cool that you got to hike with Nick, please tell him I said hello.
I am assuming that "A" Mountain is the closest hike to either your house or your workplace, but would appreciate knowing which.
Prevailing through injuries is courageous...what was the hike volume goal again? Seems like you're on your way towards it, but I'll have to check to make sure.
Hike on CMB, hike on!
Bobby et al.— I call it ‘A’ Mountain, but it's official name is Tempe Butte. It abuts Mill Ave., near the ASU campus.
Fun fact: The ‘A’ was originally an ‘N’, for Tempe Normal School. It later became a ‘T’, for Tempe State Teacher's College and changed to its current ‘A’ when the school changed its name finally to Arizona State University.
So the mountain is “T N A Mountain,” which—I'm sure we can all agree on this—is a suitable name for that particular butte.
My goal has been to complete 100 hikes for the year. I'm no longer on track for meeting that goal, but it's still possible.
Awesome, I will call it T N A Mountain forevermore. I need to hike that mountain. As for 100 hikes, yes, still doable. Good luck, don't push injuries.
