Today was an amazing day! We started with a hike along the Potomac river and explored some new sections of the trail that we never hiked before. It was great! It was also hilly, and humid, and hot, and tiring. We ended up covering over 6 miles and we were out there for 2 hours and 16 minutes. 
It was really fun today. We found a small bamboo forest. We like to be goofy when we come across them. We also survived the water crossings today. We usually do but every now and then feet do get wet. The rocks were very slippery from all the humidity.
We got home enjoyed some lunch and it was time for me to relax. I took a nap and eventually made it to the gym for 30 minutes on the stair machine. The think kicks my b! I wore a heart rate monitor to see where I would be at and I worked up to rates in the 140’s. That is great. I also weighed myself before and after the workout and I lost 3 pounds of sweat.
In the evening we made a great meal together with the help of an ingredient from our wonderful neighbor. She gave us some Swiss chard. We cooked it and topped it with some feta cheese. We also cooked some corn and salmon to complete the meal. It rocked!
