My Journey

Yesterday was great!

In honor of Independence Day yesterday, my stepfather, sister, A.D.H.D. Border Collie and I went high up in elevation for an alpine hike. We live in the desert, so it's nice to get up and do some hiking where it's not so damn hot. Or red. So, we make the 1 1/2 hour drive up to the top of the Mesa, spend another hour looking for a trail, and then fail to see how cold it is outside of the car before we started. It was so cold my arms and face were turning purple... I wish I had taken some pictures of that, though, because it was almost pretty in an eirie kind of way.
I felt so great, I could have gone on for hours! I hadn't eaten anything that day, so I was using calories that didn't exist, not to mention how cold it was. We hiked for 150 minutes, so calories burned were something like 789, plus maintaining homeostasis. Killer day, I would say. I didn't drink enough water, though... I fulfilled all of my other requirements, but not the water... Oh, well. Guess I blew this week. There's always next week, and I'll finish out this week strong.
