Hiking is a great way to get back in touch with a slower pace of life. The experiences while performing these activities are endless. Writing in a journal makes them timeless. You will find by using this journal that you have a very powerful reminder of your fitness journey. And, there are pages of motivating quotes to keep you inspired. One final thought is that you should write in your journal while you are on the trail. Don't leave it up to, "I will remember that when I get home." Chances are you won't remember.
