MOVE!! What did you do to workout today?

[dacjohns]

Today was a real easy workout. We hiked in to look at a nest found yesterday and found a juvenile and the two adults and then we hiked out. Maybe a mile hike total.

Then we started the real workout although an easy day was planned, only 10 points instead of 20+. Did the the first three points walking over downed trees and logs, up and down some hills, and found another goshawk nest with a juvenile and an adult. Looked around a bit and called it a day. Every nest we find eliminates the points within a one mile radius. Then hiked out about 1/2 mile.

One more day on this project and it will be another easy day. Then on to Idaho.

Sounds wonderful!

Swam up and down the length of the lake 3 times...got really out of breath when I pushed myself to go fast. All in all I was in the water doin' somethin' for 2 hours.

Then came home to a wonderfully HOT house. :/

Picked 33 lb of beans with my kids and dug up 150 garlic bulbs. Does that count?

EVERYTHING counts in my book!

Ended up going to the gym for my walk...it was too hot around here to workout. Yes, I'm a wimp. I got three miles in.


WARNING gym rant:
This guy there really ticked me off too, that is why I don't like this particular gym too well. Rude people everywhere. Every channel (and I don't watch t.v. during the day, so it was a rare luxury for me) except one was on CNN. But the other one channel was on Oprah and they were talking about healthy food to serve your family on a budget...ok right up my alley. Well this man walked right up to the t.v. and switched it! To what? CNN!!! (I was almost done so I just let it slide.) What is wrong with people? At my old gym it was common courtesy to ask those around you if you can switch the channel.

I mean I like CNN and all the other news channels, but during a boring workout, I want to get away!! And who needs 5 T.V.s on CNN????!

Ha ha ha! Well to tell you the truth, I was such a baby. I had to be in a.c. all the time. Quite expensive to say the least. Oh, and by the way when you live in a very hot state, don't cut down all the trees and cement everything over, it just makes it way hotter! Houston was one big slab of cement...a solar oven! I miss my friends dearly, but I would be in the state penn if I lived through one more Houston summer! I guess your answer is I really wasn't surviving at all...just slowly withering away.

Maybe melting would be a better adjective.

 

[big brown horse]

Right melting is a better adjective!



Well, yesterday I did manage to get a good 4 mile walk in at the outdoor trail...it was hot, but I made myself do it.

Today is an 8 mile day, same as tomorrow. I didn't get that oppurtunity last weekend, so I am excited.

Something about a gym that makes a workout seem like it takes forever. Anyone else feel that way?

A good brisk walk outside with nature and perhaps a friend is actually very enjoyable to me. I crave it now...glad we are on the down side of this dreaded heat wave.

I DID IT!! I managed to walk the compete 8 miles all at once. (Last week I did it in a split shift, 4 in the am and 4 more in the pm.) It was hard...but I did it. It took me almost 2 hours! (Remember this is a hilly, rocky trail.) I'm still a bit slow, but I don't care, I did it. (You all would be proud of me, I didn't let the heat get in the way.)

Tomorrow another 8.

Whew, my dogs are killing me!!
