Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyle woke up in the late morning one day whilst at the base. He rolled over and pulled the covers tighter against him. After a few moments, he threw the covers off and took a deep breath staring at the blank ceiling above. He spun and sat up resting his feet on the floor. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. Anderson stood up and adjusted his clothing wrinkled from the matress the night before. He wearly stepped over to his dresser and threw on a pair of the nylon-like sweat pants. as well as a greyish muscle shirt.

After putting his hiking boots on tieing them tight, he grabbed some necessary belongings and placed them in their respective pouches on a backpack he had in the corner of his room. It was rather bulky, even without anything in it. He pulled out a cold water bladder that was refridgerated the night before and secured it in a pocket in the backpack. He then pulled the forest green/olive drab pack over to the other side of the room. He then started filling the vast amounts of empty space with barbell weights. After loading a rather significant amount in, he placed his iPod in the tight holder in his right upper arm and put the earbugds in his ears. He pressed play as his playlist began. He hoisted the pack onto one shoulder as he place his Oakley's on his head.

Once outside, Anderson made his way to the Shire of Eterbur. Once there he put his bag down and performed some minor stretching. He then took a deep breath and put his bag over both shoulders. He secured the straps with the buckles in front. He took a few steps and started making a decent pace through the wilderness of the shire admiring the vast green vegeation as he manuveared through the trail made by previous runners like himself. The sun beat down on him as he made his way in between the pastures waving to the local herder tending to his herd. Sweat beginning to form over his body, he took the canopy of the trees as a welcoming as he made his way deeper and deeper into the shire his dog tags hitting his chest with every connection with the uneven ground below.
