Notes

  • I run (and walk) at a nearby park for about 30 minutes. I typically run a mile and walk another mile.
  • I do strength training at the gym, focusing mainly on arms (I don't want it to affect my runs/hikes).
  • I usually go hiking at the Dish (depending on the weather/my schedule), which takes roughly an hour.
  • Weekends are free, as they naturally include outdoor activities. If not, I might go to the gym as well.
  • I will vary my routine depending on how I feel. For example, if my legs are sore, I'll walk instead of running.
