A day in the woods!
Today was the day to skip the gym in the morning and go hiking near Great Falls, MD. We saw some trails yesterday worth checking out and we decided to return there today. It was chilly with temperatures in the high 40’s and low 50’s. That did not slow us down one bit. The terrain was hilly and rocky in parts, and level and soft under foot in others. We hiked for a little over 2 hours and covered 5.28 miles. 
After that fun we went to the mall so my wife could get a new pair of running sneakers. We hiked another 1-2 miles there between the walk from the parking spot, to the mall, walking the mall from shoe store to shoe store and then finally back to the truck. Pretty wild.
After getting home I even found the motivation to go to the gym. I did 8 sets of incline bench press, 8 sets of cable chest flies and 20 minutes on the elliptical stepper. It was just the little extra I needed to do to feel good about today.
Tomorrow would have been my first day of work, but I have to wait for my background check to go through so I will be sleeping in!
