walk, run, hike
Greetings! I deliberately did not run last week Mon-Thurs. Just wanted to see how my body would feel, react, etc..
It was an interesting experience. I definitely do not like to sit around. In terms of movement or exercise, I spent some time at the gym with weights, crunches, pushups, etc.. I normally do these anyway, but this past week was without the running. I WALKED 1 mile on treadmill with a steady incline. BORING!!! REALLY BORING!!
Friday, I laced up the shoes and ran for 30 minute around my hilly neighborhood. Did almost the same exact run both Saturday & Sunday. 30 min exactly. I’m sorta trying to tweak the running a bit…more later on this.
I also went on a 2 hour walk/hike early this morning with these fine folks. We went to Sweetwater Creek State Park. Approx 25 min drive from my house. I’ve been there for trail running before so was happy to be back there again.
A great way to start the day; in nature with friends on a gorgeous Sunday.
I found out, I did NOT get into the regular Dipsea race. (i am not surprised) So, now I gotta decide if I am 100% gonna run Double Dipsea on June 26th.
I am also making plans for a new goal. A new dream. Stay tuned.
Treat your body well. Love it. Nourish it. Rest it.

It seems like you and your family is a nature lover. I missed hiking, the totality of exercising. It’s really hard when doctor told me to have a total bed rest. SO BORING

If I ever get pulled away from the Inland NW, I think it will be for N. California.
Too bad you didn’t get into Dipsea. The double looks like quite the challenge. Go for it!

That looks like a great place! I’m so glad hiking season is finally here!
