Wishes, Goals, Plans

Well, the next few blogs and through out the rest of the summer, you will read about various plans. You see, a wise man once told me, “ A goal not written down, is merely a wish.” So, if a goal not written down is a wish, I think a goal not planned out is..... well maybe a goal or you could say a wish as well.

Seeing that I have turned my blog into a form of accountability, I am going to tell you the current plans that I have to achieve my goals. You see how this is already working out. So, let’s start with goal number two, which is hike mount timp, and goal five, hike the Y.

Now, let’s be honest. Hiking the Y could be done right now, today! So, it’s not so much a goal as a preparation step. But at the same time, the last time I hiked the Y was my freshmen year, in the winter semester, during the reading days. It was at night. So, I would like to climb it again at night and again during the day. So, seeing it is rather simple in nature, I am probably going to do it a few times, but if it isn’t accomplished by the 1 June I am just being a slacker.

Now, seeing that I will hike the Y at least twice by 1 June, I will hike a few more times and get myself in shape to hike Mount Timp in August. Late August actually, like the 27/28 of August. Why those dates? Well, TImp will still have snow on it until then so doing it anytime before late July or August, won’t work. I would be hiking in snow. Now, why would I be hiking on the 27/28? Well, I have heard that if you leave at about 11 or so at night and drive up there, and then you can hike a few hours and make it to the top to see the sunrise. Which would mean I would hike it the morning of the 28 of August. But here is the reason why I want to hike the Y a few times. I want to be able to hike timp with a few goods, so when I get to the top, I can enjoy what ever i have brought with me. I like it!
