Currently Listening To: I Got It From My Mama Currently Thinking About: Distractions Currently I'd Rather Be: Fit So I don't know if they are actually resolutions but today seemed like a lot of resolutions going on. So Patrick, Kim, and I went hiking today. Patrick's either received or bought quite a few hiking type things that I'll let him post about (let's hope he posts) but I guess he was all excited about his new toys because he wanted to go hiking. You can call this trip all sorts of resolutions: 1 - Become more knowledgeable in scholastic topics 2 - Don't waste away the weekends in front of the TV 3 - Exercise more 4 - Spend less money So we did 10.7 miles (well 5.35 but we had to get back too!) of the Appalachian Trail that brought us passed the scenic Washington Monument which had a lot of historical facts about our first President. It got me out of the house and got me working my ass off through those trails. And since I was walking somewhere other than a retail establishment, I saved buko bucks. Before I go again, I need to make a few mental notes: 1 - Ditch the sweat shirt: I've done a crap load of hiking this year and I've brought my sweat shirt all the times since October and I've never used it. It just adds 5 pounds (crucial!) and you end up looking like a prep from the 80's with the thing tied around your waist. 2 - Get hiking shoes: This trail had a lot of rocks that poke up out of the ground and my sneaks just weren't cutting it. The thin soles basically protected the balls of my feet and not much else in that terrain. 3 - Get longer legs: Keeping up with the jolly green giant is hard when you have midget legs. I think I was keeping up strides but my strides were not nearly as long over that distance. Longer legs are sooo doable now a days too. :P 4 - Get in better shape: Yeah, this was a hard work out today. All that uphill climbing and trying to keep up just sucked. I'm not THAT bad. I DID have a lot of valid excuses (see points 1 to 3). All in all it was a good day though. I did get a good work out and a lot of fresh air. The fresh air I definitely do remember as I was hyper ventilating up that hill. So question of the post: Who played Wii instead of watching football today? posted by The Blogger @ 9:29 PM 2 comments |

I definitely played Guitar Hero instead of watching football today. I rocked it all the way to end of medium.
We played Wii, but after football was over. Super Mario Glaxy is super funio.
