As you may have surmised by now from my silence, I didn’t make it to day 5. Still, I think 4 out of 5 wasn’t too bad. On Friday morning, I was just too sore from the previous 4 days of cycling, and the previous night’s game in the super-hot weather. With no awesome husband to play cheerleader, it was much more pleasant to call it a day on Friday morning and drive to work. I’m aiming for 3 days a week for the rest of the summer.
I (made up for it? continued the downward slide?) by taking the bus downtown after work, in search of some cheese for the following evening’s girls’ night. A short but immensely rewarding stop at the patio of the Clocktower pub in the market may have been involved as well.
We’ve been pretty busy the last week, including a trip out to Algonquin. We finally got to try out our new canoe, yippee! While I sort through and edit the pictures, I leave you with this question – is there any difference in the number of calories burned by a 200-pound person hiking, and a 150-pound person hiking with a 50-pound backpack?
