come on, fitbit

Went out for day 3 of hiking this morning — we were out on the trails for a couple of hours, and (kind of guesstimating) must have walked around a mile and a half? Much of it on an incline, even!

Fitbit gave me 14 “active minutes” for that. Really? Because I’ve gotta say it certainly *felt* like a lot more than 14 of those minutes were active!

[PS: I am totally fine with it — fitbit can count my activity however it wants. I just thought it was funny, and I think funny things should be shared, to increase the general joy in the universe.]

come on, feet

Working backwards in posting — some notes from day 2 of hiking!

Things I learned on this trip:

1. When the trail description says the trail includes “rocky scrambles,” what it means is “very tiring.”

2. When the trail description says you will cross a brook “three times in quick succession,” what it means is “you will cross a brook many times, sometimes close together.”

3. When the trail description says the trail is named after a distinctive visual feature, it does *not* necessarily mean you will be able to see that feature at any point on the trail.

[Also we saw a bird taking a bath in a puddle on top of Mount Jackson, and it was the absolute cutest. Thanks, little bird!]

come on, mountains

Just got back from hiking with *Andrea; had a fantastic time and (somewhat unexpectedly) amazing weather!

Day 1 — short mountain, fantastic view. There is something very, very cool about being able to walk outside and just — hike up a mountain. It’s right there!

[It did rain, for about five minutes. Just about long enough to think ‘yeah, I should put my raincoat on.’ Which was excellent justification for having the raincoat in the first place, so really a win all around.]
