Day 1

Last night, I got off the couch and said, "uhhhhh." I am 21 years old. I should be climbing mountains, running around Portland, and going on adventures with my friends, waking up the next morning, and doing it again. I should not be groaning as I claw my way off of the couch.

So, day 1 has begun. I moaned and croaked my way out of my living room, put on tennis shoes, sweats, and threw my hair in a ponytail, and I've now completed my inaugural walk around some paths of Rood Bridge Park. I walked for half an hour and didn't see the same path twice. It's actually pretty lucky I managed to find my way home afterward. I enjoyed some paved paths, some barks dust trails, some flora, and a lake. The fresh air felt great, and according to the calculator I just used, I burned about 250 calories. Hurrah!

So, here's to no more groaning. Here's to having my giant jar of water in hand. Here's to the mountain climbing, the train jumping, and the adventuring of my future. Here's to day 1!
