 Outdoor adventure fitness activities are great for everyone. Everyone at all ages are able to do something. Anyone can go for a hike but on the more extreme end you can also rock climb, mountain bike, ski, and snowboard. If you don't like one sport you can always try another. You have so many opportunities to do different things outside. The outdoors is great for everyone and can really help your mental and overall health. 

 This weekend I went to Indiana to watch my brother race in a GNCC National Championship. It is a XC race on a dirt bike. The loop was 3 miles and the race lasted about 2 hours. My brother placed 2nd in his division, making him place second overall for the season. My family went and eat a large carb filled dinner before the race so my brother was properly fueled. It was a very long drive but well worth it for the weekend! 

Yesterday was one of the first rainy days here at SRU. Recently it has really started to feel like winter. The leaves are almost fully off the trees and it is starting to rain a lot more. Walking to class I needed my warm rain jacket. Yesterday I went to work down at the ARC where I am I lifeguard. We reviewed some CPR skills and some basic first aid. After work I went shopping to get some healthy food in Butler then came back and went to Bible study. We talked about angles and demons for approaching Halloween. 

 This weekend I attended the Homecoming events at SRU. In the morning, I went to the parade where I saw many different organizations going through Slippery Rock. Many people were dressed in their Slippery Rock attire. After the parade, SRU had a tailgate for the football game. My club soccer team had its own tailgate. Also, two of my friends' families had tailgates that I went to. SRU beat IUP for the third year in a row during the Homecoming game. The band had a great performance at halftime. It was a very fun weekend.
