So who wants to hear about my day yesterday... we'll it started off great and ended okay and in the middle I was almost throwing up in the bushes somewhere in the middle of Fundy National Park.
I left bright and early (well 9am... which is bright and early on your day off) to go hiking in Fundy. Of course, I chose one of the more difficult trails located in the complete wilderness. You have to drive in a dirt road to get to the trail ("The Forks" for anyone who knows the park)... on the road I met a Mother moose and her baby. The trail was very nice, it went down into the river valley and ended at this wonderful little beach area that you had to cross the rocks on the river to get two. I ate some lunch and continued onto another trail which attached itself to "the forks". I got my shoe wet at another river crossing... and as I proceeded down the rocks on the rivers edge I slipped and fell and wacked my toe and my knee. Uncertain of how much this would affect the rest of my hiking, I headed back to the car. And of course, most of the trail was uphill. And I felt horribly sick for most of the rest of the hike. I don't know if it was the heat, or if I knocked the wind out of myself when I fell or what, but I was walking at a snails pace and my heart rate was extremely high and I couldn't get it down. I had to stop at least 15 times or move getting back up the hill because I felt sick and light headed. It was extremely unpleasant... I'm in fairly decent physical shape, so I was really concerned. It was only a 3.4km long trail (each way), plus the little bit of the other trail I did, which is nothing compared to other hikes and runs I've done.
So, I made my way back home. I forced myself to eat and drink, although I didn't feel like it. By the end of the drive however I felt a fair bit better. I got home, had a beer with my parents and had a good healthy supper of fresh beans, peas, beets, rice and bbq chicken. I also got a letter from NTS which included three essays I have to write and pass in on the first day of school!!! (Oh god... what I have got myself into! haha!! Homework before school even starts!!) I watched ICE PRINCESS before falling asleep. (A pretty lame and whimpy movie...)
So that was my day...
