recent exertions

tonight went to a friend's house to watch a movie. biked there and back - 4.56 miles, or 7.35km.

a couple days ago walked ferry island campsites with a friend, leaving from my house - 3.5miles, or 5.6km.

really taking it slow. overtired from moving. focussing on resting, and not putputputputput non-stop, and happens before/after a move.... *sighs* :)

campout fitness and personal overcoming!

this weekend was the church campout. i swam in the lake 'my mother always told me' (well, sometimes mothers should just shut up! O_o ) was full of sewage, leeches and lice; shucked some (evidently poisonous to eat) freshwater clams(?) with my bare hands for their beautiful shells, and to prove to myself i *could* do the gooey job; and... swam across the lake. and back. all 260 some pounds of me. with my friend maria. whoot whoot!

it was a big adventure for both of us. it was awesome! we went slow and steady, and sat and yakked on the other side before we headed back. it took us a grand total of approximately an hour and a half to do the trip. according to gmap-pedometer.com, our approximate route was almost exactly a half-mile (ie. .25 there, .25 back).

too bad there is not a gmap-swimometer, lol~!!!! :D

the view was amazing, there was a storm rolling in, so huge white clouds were billowing up from behind the mountains, and the sun was beating down on us and making the clouds glow. wow. God's creation is amazing, reflecting His glory. wow.

short walk with friends :)

we walked around ferry island, i estimate, thanks to gmap-pedometer.com, that it was about 1.85 miles (3km), and that i would have burned about 370 calories.

i added it to yesterdays short mileage (just to a friend's house and back) to make up my 'tuesday' mileage for the week...

it was great fun, and i may have a new walking partner! ... someone who doesn't wanna GO! GO! GO! and wear me out, lol. sweet. :)

walk the walk
