Today I climbed a mountain.

I awoke this morning with the same desire I had at 10p.m. to walk the steep hill at the foot of the resort. So...I dawned my new Nike sport bra, became very disappointed that my Nike +ipod sensor bit the dust, but decided that I would hit the trail anyway. I didn't know the distance and forgot to look at the clock before I left. The hill was so steep that I had to run down, trudge up the other side, and run back down, and trudge back to the resort. It was a crisp, slightly cool, Ozark smelling morning. I miss those morning walks at the farm as a teenager and young adult. The air *almost* smelled like Grandma's house. I listened to a little Needtobreath and pondered on my verses I am memorizing. I am still trying to figure out what is next...I need to get on it because it is 48 hours late! As I climbed back to the resort, I realized that I needed to pay attention to the time so I could figure out how much time it took me...see why I was so bummed about the sensor issue. When I got back to the room, I figured out the time by adding the songs I heard. I added the song totals and figured out it was 14 min. 29 sec. Then we drove it in the car... about 8/10s of a mile. Mapmyrun says .76 miles. It has an elevation ascent of of 194 feet and a decent of -190ft. I know it wasn't "30 minutes" of recommended exercise, but it got me sweating...which is good. So... today I climbed a mountain.
