The lecture was interesting, and I enjoyed learning a little more about our state parks. The hike was fun and Vince&#8217;s mini lectures were cool. The bike ride was awesome. I was nervous about that but it wasn\u2019t too bad except for the hills, and then I had the pleasure of telling my family I biked 33 miles. Rickett&#8217;s Glen was fun too. I liked hiking the whole thing because the last time I was there I only hiked the falls trail. I didn&#8217;t really enjoy kayaking because of all the weeds, but I thought the fire tower was pretty cool. I would describe last week as pretty lit, as the kids say.<\/li>\n<li>Week two was filled with two of my favorite things and one of my least favorite things. I loved the hiking at Ricketts Glen State Park and the kayaking at Peck\u2019s Pond. That 33-mile bike ride though\u2026 that was a killer. All in all, it was a very fun week. I learned that an answer someone might give as a \u201cjust give me an answer\u201d is actually something that happens in our bodies. We actually grow more capillaries as a response to a demand in the muscles. I think that is really cool. Throughout the week I began focusing more on what my body was doing during all of our exercise. I began paying more attention to using the different muscle groups and how to monitor breathing and heart rate.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve had the most fun this week. From getting a better bike to kayaking to hiking Ricketts Glen to even white water rafting, my expectations have been exceeded. I haven&#8217;t had this much fun doing physical activity since my service trip a year ago. I don&#8217;t feel as physically challenged as I did the first week. I hope to continue doing these types of activities in the future.\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_593\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-593\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/extremephysiology\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_2026.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-593\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/extremephysiology\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_2026.jpg\" alt=\"A &quot;classic&quot; selfie after whitewater rafting with EP 2015 (Arizona) alumni\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/extremephysiology\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_2026.jpg 960w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/extremephysiology\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_2026-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.scranton.edu\/extremephysiology\/files\/2016\/08\/IMG_2026-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-593\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A &#8220;classic&#8221; selfie after whitewater rafting with EP 2015 (Arizona) alumni<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li>I enjoyed the hike to Rickett\u2019s Glen. Even though it was a trail I have done countless times since my early years, its always a nice place to revisit. The trips to Lackawanna State Forest and Pecks Pond were both new to me. I preferred Lackawanna to Pecks Pond, as kayaking on a body of water infested with plant life was not as fun, despite the informative nature of the trip. The lengthy bike ride was a challenge, especially the hill leading in to Forest City, but completing that excursion proved to be rewarding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoyed Lackawanna State Park.
