Hike!

Wednesday I got to hike up Nanshan Mountain with some friends.

The scenery was beautiful as we entered the park.  We started out on a road that led up to what I didn't realize was the first of many many steps - 1500 to the top! Nanshan Mountain rises 350 meters above the city to give an outstanding view.

When we started the hike I turned on my Run Keeper app to track our progress.  Well these steps were so steep that the autopause feature kept asking if I was done with my workout because the forward progress was so slow - we were just going up! Hopefully I can figure out how to have it track the progress by elevation or something?  Anyways it was a pretty overcast day, but the views were still impressive.  My girlfriends and I have decided to do this hike every Wednesday.  The hike itself is about 1-1.5 hrs long depending on how fast you go and the path. 

Joyce, Jane and me!





Had to add this pict - granny is flexible! She had to be in her 70s or 80s!
