Started this Thursday.
Holy crap do I hurt. My feet, my toes (I think I have blisters starting), my knees, my back and I don’t know what else. We did 12miles with a 2800ft incline in 8hrs & 12min. Boy we suck, I thought we would be done 3 & half hours earlier. We survived, even though we really did bite off more then we should’ve for our 1st big hike. I swear if I did not lose 1# because of this I’m going to be pissed….lol And no, I’m not going to the gym Friday.
Luckily we got to the road before it got dark, because we still had over 2 miles to go. Going by our video, the first 2 miles took us 2 hours..icks! Most of our hiking during that was going up and up….we stopped a lot taking pictures and catching our breathes. Taking pictures was a great excuse to stop…..lol Yet, we did the last 3.8 miles in just over an hour.
This is the hike we took :Â http://www.nwhiker.com/CGNSAHike13.html
When we were almost to the highest point, it was so silent and eerie up there. It was taking us so long to get there that we thought we got the wrong path and was getting worried. I also had to make sure not to over think the fact that we had shear drops in 100s of ft. I just tried to concentrate on my feet and stay farthest from the edge. It was such a deep incline that we had to take many stops and taking pictures was a great excuse to get your breathe. So that helped in being able to enjoy the views. =)
We took a ton of pictures but we won’t be getting to them until later.
***Saturday…..
I’m feeling much. I need to move around more, but I have a bunch of work that I need to do and I’ve done a ton today. I’m so stiff when I get up that it is hard to move. Especially going down the stairs…ouch. I have been trying to remember to get some stretches in.
We only got about 10 trick-or-treaters last night. =( But we are not exactly residential and according to the neighbor that is a lot.  So now we have snickers, reeses & twixs in the house….not a good thing.
I’ve spent that last 2 days very stiff and sore, trying to stretch when I can and doing payroll.  Doing payroll doesn’t help on the stretching….lol Tomorrow I plan on doing a walk and Monday back to the gym.
Drew & Sakura already behave as if they own our laps and our attention…….grin But they got into big trouble today. They have been messing with our plants. That is not a good thing. We usually have some cat grass down, but they have torn through that. We need to get some. Alexis & Reggie doesn’t let the kittens bother them that much.  Don’t pay them much mind as they run pass them after each other….lol
I came across 2 stories today that really is a reminder how women are still seen and tried in this world :
Designer’s lawyer: 9 women lied in rape claims
**That is a f*** up argument.
Militants stone to death Somali rape victim, 13Â
**I’m totally flabbergasted with horror and anger at this one.
But this one I saw yesterday that had a cool ending : Â Bike thief outwitted by Wash. couple, Ore. cops
