Outdoor Summer v2

0%

Spend more time outdoors than indoors this summer.

The first version of this experiment led to a wonderful summer. I'm hoping to replicate the results!

It's been a while. Summer is here and it is lovely.

I would love to say the reason I have not updated the experiment is because I've been so busy being outside. But unfortunately that's not entirely true.

I've been outside - but not as much as I would have hoped. I believe that is about to change as I'm finally off work next week.

Some of the things I have done so far this summer:

  • Started using an outdoor gym close to where I live. Much better than working out inside. And completely free.
  • A trip to Norway
  • A quick shelter trip
  • Lots of walking in my city. Early morning walks in the summer are the best
  • Sitting outside long into the night with friends
  • Time with family

First week down. Went alright.

  • Monday I went for a short walk and some coffee at the harbor before work. Wonderful
  • Had a day off Friday so I went car camping Friday to Saturday. Also walked 3 hours in the city Friday morning.
  • Now I'm starting to plan (and get excited for) a trip to Norway next week

Goals:

  • Spend time outside
  • Be active
  • Big adventure trips
  • Small chill trips

I just spent some time looking at photos from last year and damn I had a good summer. I'm really hoping to replicate some of the results this year.
