This summer I am determined to be in better shape! I have cut out most of my sweets, which I used to eat everyday, to once a week or none at all. And I want to be more physically active! So this past weekend Sam and I went on a small hike up a mountain! 

We chose this mountain because all weekend long it was raining, and this mountain had paved streets leading to the top. So we could climb this mountain safely, even though it was raining! If we had climbed up a mountain without paved streets while it was raining, we could have slipped and fallen! 

This mountain wasn’t very tall, so the work out we got from it wasn’t very hard. But, it is a good way to start building our muscles so we can climb taller mountains in the future! I want to climb Mount Fuji one day, which is a VERY TALL mountain! So I need lots of practice to be able to climb Mount Fuji. 

Have you ever climbed a mountain before? What was the weather like when you did? Was the mountain super tall? Let me know!
