Well today was ok. I did really good on the treadmill, ok on the weights, finally donated our old dinning room set and did some work. I really need to get focus on work….damn news sites….I’m so addicted to them…grrrr
We have decided not to go to the gym tomorrow. We are going for a 12mile hike. Everytime we don’t go to the gym, I end up feeling guilty, but the whole reason for going to the gym was to get in better shape so we can do things like that. And our standard PDX weather is going to start tomorrow night and we would like to enjoy the dryness before it hits.  So we are trying to reprogram our brains when it comes to the gym and I really prefer to get my exercise doing things like hiking and working.
I’m kind of nervous about tomorrow. We have done about 4-5 miles before, but this one is starting at 800 ft elevation and going up to 2800ft. That is what I’m more concerned about. When we were hiking around Larch Monday we were out of breathe on a small incline and that is at 4000ft. Now will someone explain to me what good is doing a treadmill with inclines for the last 8 months if it hasn’t help me from losing my breathe? I don’t get it.
We each got a back pack with water, extra socks, protein bars and some extra shirts…and of course we will have our cameras. We think we may be done with the hike by 4ish. We will see.
We just got done watching the Obama campaign message. Pretty damn powerful on how it spoke about the middle class and how they are suffering. It was good. I’m so sick and tired of McCain/Palin use of dirty code words and insinuations.  It is disgusting.  I so hope that Obama wins…it looks like he will, but I trust nothing. Not with the way the GOP uses voter suppression and lies. They stole the last 2 and when it comes to racism in this country….
Our cats are doing good. Reggie has taken over my lap right now wanting love. Sakura has claimed Harold’s and Drew & Alexis are downstairs. The kittens are still feisty as hell…Sakura just did a hell of stretch on Harold and pawed his neck…adorable. We have issues with the cats taking up our bed and not leaving us any room to move around in. It looks like we really do need a king size. Hopefully we will be ordering that in a next few weeks.
