Walking or hiking it doesn’t matter as long as I get R done

This is something I do now. My area offers many hiking opportunities. Hopefully, Winter holds off for a few more weeks so I can keep getting out there!

It’s not exactly hiking, but I completed my first half marathon two weeks ago. I try to walk almost every day.

The only hiking club I could find in my area meets about an hour away, and only accepts new members at the beginning of each of their new year. That’s what I gathered from their website at least. Bummer.. if I could find anyone in my area willing to do it, I wouldn’t mind starting a small one of my own… I guess that’s a new goal for the next few months. Hopefully Winter doesn’t make it too hard to find willing participants.

My “hiking club” actually consists of my siblings :). They are much younger than I am, and it’s a great feeling to know that I am instilling them with healthy habits. I hike every day, and when winter hits, I can’t wait to crack out the snow shoes and/or cross country skis. Go Minnesota!

I am in a hiking group from meetup.com in OC. I love it! But have developed such a fear of mountain lions from horror stories I’m afraid to hike alon enow…

I found a really great hiking club in the Bay Area called the Outdoor Adventure Club. They do more than just hiking—white water rafting, skiing, climbing. I’m going to sign-up. I hear it’s a great way to meet people and lots of fun.
