Summitting Mt. Juneau

So yesterday I, along with 10 other people, summitted Mt. Juneau. It was a very difficult hike. I have never hiked a mountain before so I was going in thinking it would be hard but not too crazy. I was wrong. Its supposed to be one of the easiest mountains in Juneau and I struggled a good bit. My legs were barkin at me after about 30 minutes of hiking. It took up 3 1/2 hours to hike up to the summit and 1 1/2 hours to hike back down. The way up was the worst because my legs felt like they were on fire. Here is a video of the summit...it was quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Then on Monday night we had our memory verse to recite. I screwed it up so I felt really bad for the other guys. When we recite memory verses we stand in a big circle and go around saying our verse. If you get it right you go down into a leg lift, plank, or push up position til everyone finishes. But if you screw up you have to watch everyone else work out. I felt bad for screwing it up. Then we had to work out after that and we did a good amount of lunges, up downs, and snake up push ups. Basically I got pretty tired and winded. I felt pretty weak after that. I think I was dehydrated or something. I didn't feel too good for the rest of the night. I got to have some good convo with Kaitlin later though. I feel like our conversations just keep getting better and better as the summer goes along.
