get outside more

Currently I have goals about hiking and caving more often than I do… and a goal about camping/sleeping more “under the stars”. Mainly I want to get out (and even though a cave isn’t out in the open, I consider it an outdoor activity because it’s in nature) more and be in nature. So however I do that, is fine with me.

went running in the woods today with a friend. i felt such a renewed sense of adventure surge through me. i absolutely detest running on a treadmill, as well as exercising alone—so going out for a trail run was exactly what i needed.

i can feel this becoming a habit. i like it.

skipped class today to play basketball in the park. this weather doesnt feel right in jeans. i think i’m going to keep a pair of shorts in my car to change into for play time…

making my first three-point shot today felt like i won the whole freaking ncaa tournament.

It felt great outside yesterday! I looked out my window when I got up and there were just people, people, milling around in the parking lot, kids playing, a general buzzzzz of activity outside. It felt strangely spiritual being outside with them, apart from them but still enjoying the same sunshine & breeze as everyone else. And there was so much I wanted to do! fly kites, play basketball, golf, climb trees, just walk around in the warm breeze and MARVEL AT IT. We’re supposed to have weather like this for a while so I will definitely have time to get around to all of it.

its just so friggin cold right now. i get out when its not super cold. and im sure when i am in the mountains this summer i will be outside WAY more.

at least. theres no excuse now that its warming up outside. my bike needs a-fixing, but once the tire is properly pumped up theres no stopping me from zoom-zoom-zooming about town… also going to try running independently more often. it’s such a pain when you first start but i know if i keep with it i will end up loving it.

need to visit the park more… and get back to picking up all that litter!

being out and about with lovely lady nature really wakes up my creativity, my sense of adventure, my love of all things and my inherent silliness…

I really enjoy being outside, especially when the weather is nice. But lately I’ve been staying in the house all the time, I’ve barely been outside the whole summer. I need to start going out there to enjoy it before winter comes.

well, with the beautiful weather, i have definitely been getting out more! i’ve been hiking these last few weekends, and with having family living on a farm now, i will be out there with the cows and beagles quite a bit :) not to mention just being out wandering around in neighboring towns and parks. not looking forward to the humidity coming back, but i’m sure i’ll be out there just the same.

I’m going to mark this as done because I am out walking or biking regularly.
