training for havasu

This past few months (although I had intermittent breaks), I have been training for a backpacking trip with Michelle by being more intentional in spending time exercising and building my muscles. I've been really enjoying exercising more than I expected. In general, I'm more alert throughout the day and able to fall asleep with more ease. Today, I was able to go on a hiking trail with Krystal that I usually go on with my parents. And I felt like I was able to enjoy it so much more since my body could handle the hike much better. I am probably wildly unprepared, but I am really looking forward to be away from the city, people, school, busyness and enjoy nature, silence, and time with God. I might do a blog series on the hike, but we shall see.

Also, I asked my friends to help assemble a playlist for the road since we'll be driving for quite a bit so I'm pretty excited to take a listen through it.

Here's a pic from my hike with Krystal!

bye bye for now ^
