I work as a data analyst in Seattle. On my weekends and in my free time I can be found hiking, climbing all of the mountains of the PNW, caving, diving or traveling to exotic places where I can do any of those things. On weekends, mostly Sundays, I volunteer as a drug &alcohol counselor at treatment facilities in the area. I always run first thing when I get home after work 3 days a week, just a simple 5k or a little more, and then on my weekends I either have a big run day 10 - 20 miles, or go on a big hike (more than 3k ft gain) and do some cycling. We have this amazing 100 mile biking trail that I live close to so it's fantastic for cycling and running on as well. I fit everything in by just having a schedule and sticking to it. I'm a big planner. Right now it's nice because I can just take off for my runs from home right when I finish work. The bike trail has also been open so I've continued to run it on the weekends and ride my bike around. I also don't have a family yet, so I pretty much have all of the time in the world. I was raised in a household where all of our free time was spent being active so I think its the main reason my sister &I are still so active is just because we never stopped as we got older. :P
Really interesting, thanks for sharing, Judith! We have an (incredibly!) active 6-year-old and we're trying to raise him to be as active as possible. Living in an area like where you are would be amazing! (We live in Atlanta.) I love how you guys got habits started early that have kept you active for a lifetime.
