After my delightful hike yesterday afternoon, I ended up going to Foxwoods and was, at one point, compared to "a squirrel on crack" - due to being super hyper and wanting to race everyone inside of the casino. I also tackled a large staircase which led me to a Make a Wish banquet, which we considered crashing. And I stuck my hands inside an iceburg that was supposed to simulate the temperature of the water the night the Titanic struck. It happens.
This evening, the gym closed at the same time I came off of passive duty, so my gym buddy Olivia and I decided to go for a walk. I originally thought we would just go around Ring Road twice, but we ended up leaving campus, going down Old Westport, up Lucy Little and around down Chase back to Old Westport. We kept a steady pace the entire time and steady conversation, as well, which definitely made the time fly by.
After we returned to campus, we decided to drive the route we'd just come and figured out that we walked a total of 6.8 miles. It was the perfect loop and I have a feeling that we are going to be walking that route more often - though next time, we'll probably be more prepared and have a flashlight. Once the sun set, it was a bit ghoulish.
We spent our time admiring the houses and I realized how much I miss when I'm driving by places. I mean, I've driven up and down Chase a couple dozen times or more and never really noticed any of the surrounding establishments. It made me feel much more appreciation for the Dartmouth area - a place that I have really grown fond of over the years.
Tomorrow = gym at 8 a.m. (for real this time! 45 minutes, here I come!)
Tuesday = gym
Wednesday = trail running @ Lloyd's
Thursday = gym
Friday = long walk on the beach
I'm trying to keep my work out routines interesting by going new places and alternating the kind of activities I'm doing and who I'm doing them with. So far, so successful.
I'm looking forward to a nice and active week!
