Falling Sky + Wet Mountains

The rain is here and if it is raining, there is nothing I like more (in my world of exercise) than hiking or trail running. Today was a hike. Most people think of hiking as a less strenuous exercise. Most that do hike don't hike fast, but if you do hike up a mountain at a fast walk it is great exercise.

What makes hiking even better is hiking with a friend. It's funny how if you put two guys walking up a mountain, in the rain, what can be said. Poop seemed to be one of the main topics of the day. It seems funny how it is ok to talk about the size of your stool while in the woods, but not so much if you are in the office.

The rain didn't keep the smiles off of our faces and it seems so much more manly (unless you're a girl), to go out in the rain to workout.

The other thing i like about hiking in the rain is putting gear to the test. Nice boots and rain jacket make being out in inclement weather so much more enjoyable. Ginger cookies make the drive home so much more enjoyable
