Keeping on keeping on...

The last few weeks since an update have been good. Some days have been hit and miss with Andrew bing on the road so instead of the gym and doing the heavy wieght, I've been doing a bit more cardio (hiking, or running, or something).

Getting back into it in the gym has shown me how fast I can lose strength if I don't stay focused....ugh. Well, that's changing!

So..a lot more hiking on the North Shore. Mainly it's been the Lynn Headwaters. Last time I went was with Shawn and we both got totally drenched. Last night, I hit the Grouse Grind for the first time this year and my friend and I both got doused with the heaviest rain I've encountered yet while hiking. It was like a shower!!
The good part was (because I got a little whiny...wah!!) that the rain wasn't that cold. It was coming down hard near the 1/4 mark but lightened up as we got closer and closer to the top. I'm glad I was pushed to keep going because I wanted to give up due to the weather - it turned out to be a good hike when all was said and done.

Since the last few times I've totally gotten soaked; I've learned from that lesson. I went by MEC and got myself some weather proof gear. It's a breathable jacket as well as some quick dry shirts. Pretty stylish if I do say so myself.

I'm ready for the weather now...rain or shine!
