Trail clearing again

I spent an hour out on the trails clearing branches with my 14 inch pruning saw. Got totally exhausted in 1 hour, luckily I was only 1/4 mile out when exhaustion hit and clonus was present in both legs. Stumbled back in and collapsed on the couch.  This year I'm going to keep at this all summer until it's completed, last year I waited until Sept. to start clearing and never got it finished before the snow flew.  I can't get to the back 2 loops because water is covering the trails.
Last night a friend introduced me to the driveup window at Culvers and got some frozen custard. Bad idea, now I'll use that as a treat for myself which means I'll need to do even more exercise.

    I too have an annual battle with our main path. It's weeding out invasive plants to make the path visible, nothing that requires more than a Japanese hoe. This year I decided it would be a Sunday project (of course, it's cold and rainy today, with guests coming to dinner, so I haven't been out there today) to make progress a few feet at a time; then maintenance would be removing anything new every time we take the path down to the lower yard. Simple, right? Until crab grass sprouting week. Wish me luck.
