Got a call from my dad around 8am this morning. He wanted me to go hike Monument mountain with him around 10am, so of course I said yes! We got there and began our hike but it was still pretty icy in the forest. We got a bit uneasy about the safety and were slipping everywhere, so we decided to turn around and just go for a long walk on the roads. We ended up doing a 4.5 mile round-trip, stopping for a snack around 11am (yummy organic green teas with a cup of black bean veggie soup for me and a garden pita for my dad). A bit windy and shady at times but mostly sunny out today!
Went for a jog later when Benn got home. Ran our route on Churchill St. again. I jogged the first mile with him and then did intervals of walking and jogging, while sprinting downhills. Met back up with Benn as he was on his way back on the loop, so I jogged with him for another 1/2 mile. The did more intervals of jogging and walking with sprinting down hills. Stretched afterward and headed home!
