went "mountain" climbing for fun on vacation
Visited Upper Michigan this weekend and took a friend's advice and climbed Sugarloaf Mountain (only a small hill to those out west) to see the sunrise at 6:50am. Invited a bunch of old friends but no one was interested in getting up that early / or working out. It was great that I felt no issues making the climb and enjoyed the view imensly. Ran up the last few runs of stairs to make sure I made it to the top in time.

I didnt think to turn on my phone tracker until we were on top and tracked the route down:

Congrats! It's great to enjoy new activities we wouldn't have tried before, and it's fun to have the perspective of doing things because we can, while other folks would rather sleep in!
Read my blog, BARIATHLETE I run because I can.
