Good health, Grouse Grind, and vacation

Past few weeks seem to have a theme of improving health (mental, physical, intellectual etc):

- hubby and his bro have decided to do the Grouse Grind EVERY week. I decline, because I don't exercise. They've done it twice already, both times consistently being just over 1 hour. I probably wouldn't even make it 1/4 way up.
- hubby and I have finally begun to clean up the spare room. We've bought boxes and shelves, and things are looking neater, but nowhere near done. Less clutter = more space = space for some exercise equipment
- the hunt / research for exercise equipment begins. Most likely a stationary bike. We've looked at elliptical machines and we don't have the space even though that is what I want. Not to mention those things are just SOOO expensive. :(
- I've been getting back into creative writing. Characters that weren't "real" to me have been brought to life with some inspiration. Now they have motivation and history.
- I've made a personal goal of doing the Grouse Grind with hubby before the end of the year. :) Guess that means I should do cardio and build up those leg exercises. I'm pretty sure I'll fail this goal but doesn't mean I won't aim for it. Maybe I'll convince a certain Twin to aim for this goal, with me.
- Vacation planning is under way - final destination still uncertain but road trip routes being examined.

Being a well-rounded healthy person sure is expensive, not just in cost, but in time. At least I can make it fun.... Well, maybe the Grouse Grind won't be fun...
