I forgot to post yesterday, but there wasn't much of an opportunity to go outside and do anything because of the weather. Today however, I am planning on hiking hogsback in between my classes to enjoy what is most likely one of the last semi-nice days of this semester.

For me, one of the hardest parts of doing this Eco challenge is remembering to post every day about what I did. Over the weekend I tried to not move my car at all and either longboard or bike everywhere I went. I was able to only use my car once throughout the whole weekend, which honestly surprised me a little bit.

For my time outside today, I am spending the majority of the day hiking around with some friends that came from downstate.

Yesterday, I decided to do homework outside in the woods to help myself concentrate more thoroughly. Today I am staying inside as little as possible and plan on finding some new trails to ride on.

It has been hard to remember to post to this site every day, but over the weekend I spent the majority of my time hiking 29 Pines, Hogsback, and Dead River. I also found some really cool mountain bike trails off of Forestville Road, which I spent all day on Saturday riding through and exploring.

Day 1- I am trying to take at least an hour out of each day that would normally be spent inside, and instead I will be going outside to hike, mountain bike, camp, and participate in other outdoor activities as well. For the first day I spent a few hours outside in my hammock studying in the quiet, instead of usually listening to music.
