October 2023
When was the last time you went on a hike? Where did you go? Sometimes it seems like too much trouble to go for a hike - you have to choose a location, pack water and snacks, have the right footwear, and then spend the time driving, which can be a substantial amount of time depending on where you live. I’ve gone long periods of time without hiking just because I don’t feel like spending the time in the car, but on the occasions when I do convince myself to go hiking, I certainly never regret it! Whether I am alone, with my husband, or with friends, I always enjoy hiking, and it usually feels rejuvenating as well. Something about getting out there in nature is so good for the soul. The fresh air, the beautiful views, the lack of industrial noise; the whole experience is just so refreshing! If you haven’t been hiking in awhile, how about making a commitment to make it happen this month?

Cardio : Hill Time!
Now that the weather is cooler, those hill sprints should feel a little bit easier! Go find your favorite hill and walk/ run some repeats! Fewer repeats for a longer hill, more repeats for a shorter one.
