We were under COVID-19 restrictions almost overnight after I returned from an amazing hiking trip to New Zealand, and though I’ve stayed active, it’s been difficult not to lose fitness and gain Pandemic Pounds!

So I created a 6 Week Training Plan to get back in shape in time for summer trips, if they’re allowed.

I thought you might find some encouragement from training notes and videos from my 6 week training journey. Weekly logs are posted below:

Week 6 of the ReFit Training was another hot week, so I started with a lot of indoor training, but went back into the woods on foot and another long bike ride at the end of the week. I hadmy checkup and met most of my goals, but I'll keep on training for the next adventure. You could join us! #Idratherwalk #GetOutside

This was Week 3 of the ReFit Traiing plan, so we're halfway through! The persistent rain through the majority of the work week kept me indoors more than I like, but we were still able to get in a great long hike in Umstead State Park with a larger allowed group size of < 25 people under our Phase 2 reopinging in NC.
