Nature Journal: Climbing a hill

• Using your legs, pushing on as your body screams in protest (passionately), as you feel pathetic realizing that the elliptical at the gym did not prepare you for this terrain. In fact spending so much time at the gym ends up equaling hours of staring at moving TV mouths, people sweating, and machinery whirring. I prefer the land. Unfortunately I will remain a gym-goer merely due to the fact that land, hilly and beautiful, is not often available, and everyday pointless life restraints do not allow the necessary wandering excursions of the little nature remaining, known, or available around us.
