Today I did my absolute favorite work-out--a long hike with a good friend. My girlfriend Deby and I love to take long hikes in the Devils' Den Nature Preserve which is right around the corner from both of us. We hiked today for over 1 1/2 hours. It was a beautiful, crisp, fall day, and the sun was shining through the bare branches of the trees.
It was so wonderful to be outdoors with a good friend. We could have easily gone an another hour if we both didn't have work and appointments.
I think its so important to have social workouts. Individual workouts are important as well because we all know just how hard it is to arrange schedules. But, when you're working out with a friend and having a great conversation, it just doesn't seem so much like a workout.
At the end of the hike, we took some time to practice Tai-chi. It was really a perfect day.
Sounds lovely. That would be great for me, if could come by 1. any time or 2. any friends :)

ReplyDeleteOh wait. I don't have any time either. Damn.
I agree, it does sound like a wonderful day!
