Weekly Adventures

Okay, so I am instituting a new challenge within my 100 Day challenge. As much as I love doing 100 minutes of physical activity every day, it gets a little repetitive (run, bike, swim, yoga, stretch, etc). Plus life in this little town can be a little boring at times (no Dad, I'm not talking about you). Plus do you really want to read about me sitting on a stationary bike for another 40 minutes? No, I don't even want to write about it!

So, my mini-challenge is once a week, on any day that works into my "schedule," I have to create my own local outdoor adventure. This could be trying rock climbing or stand up paddling, taking a short road trip to explore a nearby state park, trying a mountain bike trail I've never done before, checking out a new swimming hole once it warms up, etc. Things that will get me out of the house and gym to a place I've never been before, especially ones that are practically in my backyard. However, due to my lack of income, they must be cheap, under $10 or so, not including gas/food and within day-trip distance (no overnight stays). Please send me your suggestions and if you are unemployed or "between opportunities" as I now call it, join me! First adventure will take place at the end of this week, most likely Thursday or Friday. Here are some ideas I've come up with so far, but I'll need more!

• Enchanted Rock (never been there!)
• Bastrop State Park (hike or bike)
• Mountain bike trails at Cayon Lake
• Stand Up paddling at Lady Bird Lake (maybe once it warms up, in case I fall in)
• Kayaking on one of the many bodies of water around here
• Joining in on one of the group Austin Ridge Riders rides at Walnut Creek
• Tennis camp (already signed up for this in early Feb, and it exceeds the $10 limit but it is a special circumstance with some out of town friends!)

Who's in? Just me? Okay great, I'll post pictures and tell tall tales so maybe next week, someone will want to come along.
