Physical Ftiness/Hiking/Outdoor Recreation
hey there folks…
Just reporting out from our Sunday discussion session.
I was so surprised at the interest in hiking and physical fitness. It was an amazing session to brainstorm and talk about ways to incorporate our love (maybe necessity) of exercise and hiking into our church.
Topics that were talked about included:
Kayaking
Walking group
Bike riding
Hiking group
Weight loss/Nutrition accountability group
Bootcamp classes
Volleyball
We are looking for suggestions for good hikes and people to just jump in and plan some fitness things.
What time and what days work for you?
What would you like to be planned?
I look forward to the conversation.

Awesome group
I was excited to find out many others had some of the same ideas I had. The hard part of course will be getting things organized and figuring out what areas we should concentrate on. I believe having two different focuses, the first being fitness and the second being recreation, would be great. Trying to have one big recreation event a month would be great and then having ongoing fitness groups would be even more amazing. Having a group of people to contact for spontaneous physical activities will always be nice as well. I look forward to seeing more of what turns out with this group.
paintball
Don’t forget paintball!!
Totally
Paintball is definitely on the table! There were so many ideas brought up today, I think the hardest part is going to be choosing what to implement first haha.
I'm in
for a paintball day… that would be a blast :)
Walking wednesday after work
Hey there folks lets start out this wedesday with an easy walk at Guadalupe river park. The start area is at the end of chenowyth Avenue over by Oakridge. There is a nice paved loop around the water that is gorgeous when the sun sets. Show up if you can… the path is paved so strollers and pets are welcome. WEDNESDAY at 6:00pm. There is parking along the street.
Drive down Chenowyth till the very end of the road…. There is a white fence there. we will meet at the fence and begin there.
Email or call if you have any questions:
Amy obenour cell:408-390-7948.
Bring water and a flashlight as it gets dark kinda early at 7:15ish. If you are late… we will start without you and will be going to the left at the entrance. Hope you can catch up!

Volleyball/Running/Hiking
Sand volleyball…mud volleyball is a blast if we could ever find a place to do it.
I do a 3-6 mile run every Saturday morning (early) on some trails (preferably without hills). I run slow so if you are fast…you can’t join me (just kidding…….maybe). :)
Paintballing sounds like a blast—never done it but if it involves shooting and being competitive…I’m there.
Hiking…Angel Island, Golden Gate Park or there are some great ones in Muir Woods and along the coast near Muir Beach (beautiful on a sunny day).
The bootcamp thing sounds fun too.
Weekend Walks?
Anyone up for a good walk before or after Church on Sunday’s or on Monday Mornings?

I'm in!
I’ll be there Wednesday. If anything changes let me know at 807-4429. Stacy
Other Teams
We currently have a Mens and a Co-Ed softball team. This season ends in Nov, but we will probably have teams starting up again for the spring season in March / Apr. I have played volleyball with my old church for the past several years during the summer months when there is enough light on a weekday eveining. All you need is a net and ball with a regular night and you can get a good group each week if the word is out.
Walking Sunday

Which service do you go to? Do you know anyone else who might

Oh my goodness!
Talk about connecting with God!
There were 8 Journey hikers on Sunday and I have to say, I thought I was in shape! What a hike! It was a beautiful day and we had several people go on the hike. We all walked at our own pace and some of us were dragged by our dogs! I definitely have to say it was one of the hardest hikes I did in my life but the most rewarding! There was one point where I wanted to turn around but made it to the top! My connection with God was when I kept chanting to myself, ” I can do all things through Christ Jesus!” It kept my literally going on up and down the trail!
Come check it out next time! It is worth the trip!
Good times
The hike was definitely a lot of fun! I can’t wait for the next time we do it again. I liked running with your dogs down to the water as well haha. It was awesome walking in a park I hadn’t been in before. It was great talking with everyone that was on the hike as well. Hopefully even more people will be able to experience it the next time we have something like this. Did anyone have anything in mind for another weekend yet?
24 hour fitness
I am so excited there are so many people interested in physical activities. I go to 24 hour fitness 5 times a week. Would anyone like to join me?? I would also love to go on a bike ride or a hike with anyone interested. Does this sound like a personal ad? ( :

Re: Walking Sunday
I somehow missed this :D SORRY!! I usually try to go to the Second service cause thats my favorite :D But my husband tries to force me to the first service. But before the second would work for me then I wouldn’t have to fight him on which service to go to LOL :D
