I hiked with Dear Wife on Sunday. We only did the 2.5 mile loop because she’s recovering and we’ve got a bunch of family stuff to deal with. It was fun to get out, but I was so wanted to do a longer hike like I had been doing a few months ago.

Now that I’m working, my weekday hikes are a thing of the past; it’s too bad because they pushed me to do a good workout. I really hate gyms, so trying to find exercise time during the week is hard. I’m trying to train myself to walk a few blocks in the afternoon, and hopefully that will help.

I’m also looking forward to spring; perhaps the internet hiking group will do some more weekday evening hikes!

My crazy fantasy has been to head up into the hills at 7am maybe a day a week and to do 5-6 miles, then head home, clean up, and go into work a bit late. I’d have to stay longer, but at least I’d be exercising.
