Lessons learned:
- Apparently, strength workouts are harder when it’s super hot out. BUT! I can run in the heat. Uh… when I find the time.

Love the photo recap!
Really? I feel it’s the complete opposite. I find it much easier to go to the gym, with the nicely controlled temperature, and lift than go out in a 30 degrees weather and run. It can’t be coincidental that I haven’t run more than 4 miles for months..
I think it’s that I sweat so much, and when I use our treadmill at home, I just feel the sweat pile up with no breeze on me. Well, theoretical outdoor breeze
Looking forward to hearing about the hiking and exploring!
Great photojournal!!!!! Those weights actually look really pretty, too bad they can be a source of such challenge in working out! =D
