 | Strength 30:00 [5] | |
| |
| Being a competitive family, we tested each other in holding-hands-out-the-longest-wearing-three-pound-weight-gloves (I managed 4 mins!), push-ups, sit-ups, and balances. |
Thursday Jan 24 |
| Walking long (Wildwood (out back)) 1:40:00 [3] 12 km (8:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Went exploring in the light green out back. Crossed a swamp on a beaver dam.
Rick and I set up an adventure involving compass and pace through there for the Wednesday kids. |
Wednesday Jan 23 |
| Orienteering (Wildwood) 2:00:00 [3] 12 km (10:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Wednesday regular stuff- the Great Balloon Exchange, which is similar to the rubber chicken race, by memory, then some low-key intervals. |
Monday Jan 21 |
| Manual Labor (Wood Hauling) 30:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Wood hauling makes for good strength training. Rick and I rolled a new chopping block out from the back, which was difficult, and then we piled branches, which were covered in frost and frozen together, but pretty, sparkling in the sunlight. |
| Cartography (Elevations) 1:10:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Vasque Velocity 7627 (2) |
| Out back, Rick and I took elevations of the 4 Firs area of the map- the part the Jr High kids mapped this year. I held the rod while Rick sighted until we had to go in from the cold. |
