Take a Hike!

We had an awesome hike on Sunday. The best part is we're
developing a loyal following of people that are enjoying the
outdoors, learning about nutrition to improve the quality of their
lives, and we are getting to know one another and making new friends.

Still, many boot campers and friends keep telling me
week-after-week, "Larry, I'm going to come on a hike, I'd really
like to join you. It sounds like fun...BUT". There it is, the "BIG
BUT". Although this has nothing to do with the size of one's
posterior, you can certainly develop a big butt if you keep putting
off things like getting some exercise. Just for the record, hiking
is one of those activities that is truly exercise, but is a lot
more fun than it is hard work.

In any event I thank you as I know you are well intended, but the
truth is there are other things that are more important to some
people than getting out on a Sunday morning with a group of fun,
energetic, like-minded people.

Just remember, in spite of what ever occupies your time currently,
the door remains open and you are always welcome to join us.

To inspire you, I thought I would create a little video from one of
our hikes to show you what you have been missing and perhaps entice
you to break from tradition. Yesterday I took my little "Flip"
video camera along and shot some video clips as we all walked along.

It was a beautiful day, crisp and cool with bright sun, just
perfect for hiking. Our group was only ten people in number. But
it's not the amount of people that matters. Nope, it's "the type"
of people that come to these hikes that makes this pretty much my
favorite time of the week. In my opinion, these individuals have a
certain energy and vitality, an appreciation for the outdoors, they
like getting up and out early to "seize the day", and they like to
meet people and have fun!

Is this you? It may very well be. See what you've been missing?
Consider this email, an invitation or a "tap on the shoulder", or
maybe even a "kick in the pants!"

Watch the video I just put up on You Tube and see if you don't
change your mind about coming on a hike next Sunday.

I hope you'll join us.
