Cardio

I have fewer afternoon classes now, which gives me time to exercise more, again.

Previously I discovered that there is a really nice, mostly shaded, hill to walk up near here.

Now that I have a break, I am making use of that hill. On Monday I walked up and back down the hill twice. Wednesday I did the same. And today I did it 3 times.

I am not totally sure how far it is. I guesstimate 1 kilometer up and 1 kilometer to the base of the hill from my place of work. I think I'll take the car and drive it to measure the distance.

If I am correct, that's a pretty good walk. I walk at a pretty fast pace, but the more that I do it, the faster I can go. If I keep going, maybe I can try jogging up once in awhile as well.

This week I did 2, 2, 3. Next week I'll do 2, 3, 4. The week after 3, 4, 5. If I have time, and depending on how I feel, I will change it to include a jog, or continue to increase the times I go up and down.

So far, on this walk, I have seen a brown frog and a dark green, fairly large, snake. I wonder if I will see anything else interesting.
