16 hours at work again on my "rest day". Atleast all day was double time so it actually works out to getting paid for 4 normals week days. Not too bad a gig I have here.
I did not get a workout in today of any sort really. I got some walking and ladder/pole climbing but nothing strenuous. I'm going to be below my food intake for the day too so all in all it will be a good day of rest. Really windy out today. Saw some people on their bikes chugging along with a sustained 40+MPH wind in their face... that had to suck.
Did some looking and found a loop hike/backpack adventure in the mountains that looks like great fun. 34 mile loop so I would plan on a good 3-4 days. The elevation gain is not tremendous so it seems to be a great newbie trail. I am also intrigued at the possibility of hiking the Colorado trail a few days at a time, if I can find someone to pick me up at the destinations. Also saw a nice class 1 trail up a couple 14ers that I want to attempt before I decided whether or not I'm ready to join my cousin on his longs peak adventure.
Heard a great quote today, and it really hit home. Stop saying you can't do something and start saying you can but don't want to. It was used in respect to where people fail at changing their diets, they say I can't eat that cake instead of giving themselves some credit and saying I know I can eat that cake but I don't want to and thus choose not to. I equate it to where I am at working out. I know I can play video games all day on the couch but I don't want to, I choose not to and to workout instead therefore changing my lifestyle.
