Fitness Gear: Its FRIDAY - Fitness Training For Life

Friday, February 27, 2009

It is Friday and it is finally sunny here in the great state of Washington. Here in WA, more precisely Seattle, we do not get a whole lot of sunny weather. Especially this time of year. So when the sun comes out people flock outside. And that is exactly what I am going to do today.

I am heading out to a local climb here in the area called Poo Poo Point. It is known as one of the best hang-gliding and para-gliding locations in the nation. It is a pretty easy 2 mile hike up to a gorgeous few of the Issaquah valley. If you get lucky you can actually watch some guys jump of the hill with their parachutes on.

I'm looking forward to just getting outside and enjoying the nice whether. I decided not to do an extreme climb today, because this will be my first time out this year, that is the weathers fault, but it should be beautiful.

I have some big plans this summer, one to hike the Enchantments again(did that for the first time last year), and perhaps to a few day 30-40 mile backpack trip through Yellowstone. Hopefully I can make that one happen.

So I've been doing my 10 minute trainer daily exercises, going to start the chalean extreme here really soon, but I am looking forward to getting outside to exercise.

So enough typing on this here computer. I am going OUTSIDE!

If it is sunny where you live then I hope that you will join me in an outdoor activity this weekend.
