Life is Grand

Life is grand and I'm taking a minute to reflect.

I love the gym. Really, I didn't think I'd ever be saying that, but it's true.

I'm really excited about hiking. I bought a new daypack and hydration bladder (3 liters!) and I love it. I've been out on short hikes every weekend for the last 3 weeks and I've got almost 20 miles planned for this weekend. Sweet! I'm counting down the days until I have gear. I've wanted to do this for at least 10 years and I'm so excited to actually be doing it. It seems Monday-Friday is even longer now that I know I'll be in the woods on the weekends.

And with all that planned, I'm looking forward to seeing some of nature's eye candy. I was looking around some of my pictures and found some of when I went on an afternoon hike in southern Chile. Los Ojos de Carburgua y Saltos in Pucon are beautiful. There are multiple waterfalls along the river. I wish I would have had more time to hike around the lake.

Well, it won't be Chile, but I'm really looking forward to this summer. ;)
