Itinerary: | |||||||
Back to the grind, We've laid long enough already...(especially me!) Get the packs on, get the boots out and head to The Hill We will climb the 120 feet of elevation. Do it via the 11 flights (168 steps - deep breath) and then walk down the path to catch our breath or speed walk up the path, tightening those buns and come down the stairs. Whichever is your poison do your best! In the span of an hour we will complete the circuit, oh maybe about 6 times with a pack on. More circuits if you're cheating and don't have a pack on...;) This is excellent conditioning for elevation on backpacking and hiking trips...doesn't it sound like fun? Yay! You'll be real glad we did this when we get to go on trips. Better to suffer together now and enjoy the trip later! Besides it's great for losing a few inches here and there (Lordy knows I need that...) :o) As is customary, we'll head to a pub after for refreshments (Beer or water, it's up to you! Protein after the workout is always good) and to get to know your fellow members better...which makes it all worth it! | |||||||
