start hiking regularly

I think that since I am not used to hiking anymore, I’m going to wait to start again until it gets warmer. I live near Catocin Mountains and Caledonia, so I have plenty of awesome hiking trails to take advantage of. I was hoping to do an overnight hike up at Caledonia. They have a hostel up there that I could stay at, which I think would be really neat to try.

A few days ago I found out that what I always thought was a forest next to my favorite park is actually a hidden hiking trail. Since it’s practically in my backyard I’d be a fool not to take advantage of it and start hiking.

i hike enough now….it’s chill.

i hiked cowles mountain yesterday after work…..it felt sooo good, i haven’t exercised in what seems like months now. now that i live right by the mountain it’s going be a lot easier to acoomplish this goal. for right now i’m at least hiking the mountain once a week (every monday), and i want to build up to two times a week. i felt amazing yeterday after i came back- i haven’t been that productive in weeks, i haven’t felt up to doing anything really. i felt a lot more like my old self, and it felt really good. :)

haven’t hiked in awhile, but i want to start going again….i liked going sundays, but its hot now and i’d have to go in the early morning, which sucks cuz i want to sleep in! maybe the evening would be better cuz it doesn’t get dark til so late now.

my sister actually asked me to go this weekend and i said no….instead i lounged around in bed that morning reading my novel, which was sooo worth it. however, i really do need to get back on track for this goal, so i’m going to make myself go one of the days this weekend.

i will go this sunday :)

am going again this sunday with my mom and little sister!! haha we’ll be out there at 7 a.m. , way before the superbowl festivities begin….am really excited, that way i can feel like i did something productive while still being able to eat pizza and drink beer guilt free on sunday :)

finally hiked cowles mountain sunday!!! true it was only halfway because we went with a group of ppl who didn’t wanna go the whole way, but next time i wanna go with just my sister and i so we can do it…we absolutely love it! i guess it’s just one of those things where you like it or you hate it. it was so nice being somewhere new in sd, and the views were incredible…definately worth it. i want to continue to go hiking every sunday. i found a list of hiking trails in sd, can’t wait to try them all out :)

was sposta go saturday, didn’t end up happening. am upset with myself about this.
