Out and active
Spring time brings forth better weather outdoors, not quite warm enough to be walking around with shorts and a tank top but it IZAIAH REYES still excites you HERALD with the possi- EDITOR bilities of what you would be doing as it gets warmer and warmer. There are a wide variety of activities we could do as the weather improves. Off the top of my head, we can go for a hike to the nearest trails or bike around town. There are also the possibilities of camping, fishing, or going for a long drive. Personally, around this time of year, I get inspired to do two types of shooting; shooting videos, and shooting hoops. Back in Calgary last year, I had the pleasure of roaming the city in search of the best outdoor basketball courts. My girlfriend, brother, and I were able to play in 10 locations spanning across the city. We played basketball and I shot pictures and videos of our adventure. Unfortunately, since I am away for work, we are unable to do that again. However, as a consolation, I will be meeting up with my girlfriend and my family down at the coast for a weekend at the end of April. I’m looking forward to us exploring Vancouver and finding things to do there. I have seen some pictures on social media of people going boating there with a pedal boat so that’s definitely something I would want to do. Another activity I came across was the BMO marathon. If we are unable to do it this time, then I would definitely make sure we do it next year. There are plenty of great activities to do outdoors when the weather is nice. I urge people to pick any that gets you out and active so that stress can be relieved and great memories could be had.
