Rediscovering Hiking

Ahhh hiking. A workout that doesn't feel like a workout. It's a chance to explore, breathe fresh air, enjoy the peace and quiet, and get in touch with nature. It's rewarding to watch an animal in its natural surroundings, to surmount a climb (and enjoy the view at the top), and in short "get away from it all"... And yet, hiking is great exercise!


Lately, I'm finding myself discovering the vast number of hiking trails around the region. It helps that my boyfriend is on the same kick.

In the past month, we have hiked from Riverbend Park to Great Falls and to Scott's Run Nature Preserve.

Perhaps this blog will start steering away from triathlon adventures toward hiking adventures?
