P….I….T….A….



I should be leery of what I ask for…, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single.


I spent my lunch break looking up the next trail on our list of trails. It feels good to finally have some focus. I was flip flopping around on what I wanted to do in this body that is getting stronger.
It’s hiking.
Dan had to go get new shoes because his everyday shoes just weren’t cutting it. I bought my hiking shoes at the beginning of the year when I got my CamelBak. I finally understand all those granola eating, tree hugging, hiking people and why they wear clothes that look like they just got off a trail. This shit is comfortable!
These shoes…I just want to cuddle up with them and snuggle. The pants, I could sleep in them. I am working on getting me a shirt that I love too.

For those of you that have been keeping track over the years, Dan is the first ex-husband. He bugs me to death and there are times when I want to punch him right in the throat…but he is the guy that answers the phone at 6am on Saturdays, gets excited when I send him a new trail map and pushes me to do more at the gym. So as much as I want to push him off those trails into the ravine below..he’s also the guy that would make sure I don’t get bit by a snake or take on too much and get lost. (Directionally Challenged as I am)

This weekend is a 12 mile hike. I researched it and realized that my car won’t make it back to the trailhead. I whined and complained and then I remembered something…he has a truck.

Here’s to hoping he answers the phone at 6am on Saturday!! :)

    Me too!
    It had been a lot of fun. There is no time to think about your problems. If is strenuous enough, all you can think about is the climb.
    I’m getting stronger, and that means rock climbing is next!
    I haven’t put it out there yet, but next year I want to be strong enough to do half dome in yosemite.

    then why the fuck did you talk mne into running? LMAO I actually enjoy it when I am not breaking ankles but hiking is much more doable!

    HAHAHAHA!!!
    Because running/walking makes it easier to hike. There are times on the hike that I will run, that’s why I love my Merrells! They are perfect for hiking and for trail running.
    Besides the running helps drop the weight. I’m ready to break through to the 40lbs!!
