Last weekend was a whirlwind of activity that left me feeling both exhilarated and exhausted. I found myself in Plattsburgh, NY, a place that quickly turned into an adventure playground.
Thanksgiving was more than just feasting this year. Alongside my friends Paul and Lucy, I laced up for the Turkey Trot 5K. Imagine us, a trio of determined trotters, weaving through the crisp morning air, each step a mix of challenge and cheer. The race was a blur of laughter, light-hearted competition, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes when you’re all gasping for breath together.
The following day, Paul and I decided to embrace nature’s call. We embarked on a hike up Hurricane Mountain. It’s hard to describe the feeling of reaching the summit, with the world stretching out below like a canvas of endless possibilities. The ascent was a blend of steep challenges and moments of awe, as we navigated rocky paths and paused to take in the breathtaking views.
Saturday was my well-deserved lazy day. I lounged around, reliving the memories of the past two days. There’s something about doing absolutely nothing after a couple of days of non-stop action that feels just right.
Capping off the weekend, I took advantage of Sunday’s warm weather for a mountain biking session. There’s a unique thrill in speeding down trails, dodging roots and rocks, feeling the wind against your face. It’s like being a kid again, but with better reflexes and a slightly higher appreciation for not falling off.
So there you have it, a weekend packed with running, hiking, lounging, and biking. As I gear up for the week ahead, I’m fueled by the energy of these adventures. Here’s to hoping your week is just as eventful!
