We take the car and park it in one place, and then our daughter Katie drives Us to another location on the trail, that way we could do 6 miles without doubling up on the trail. It was quite hot/humid yesterday morning......... and once i got started, it's like there was no turning back. I did really well, and of course it wasn't even an issue for Bill. I took sudafed before i left as well as my inhaler as a preventative measure. 3 miles into the hike there was a gust of wind that literally blew the pollen from the trees. my eyes started to water, my nose started to run, and I started to cough. Bill had the same symptoms..... the air was filled with floaties. I took my camelbak bite me system (what you wear on your back, that has a hose that you connect to your clothing and you just drink when you need too.) the only problem with this hike, it's pretty level for the first 3 miles....and then you must hike up hill after that, and then a steep hill to hike, and then a steady elevated grade until you get to the car. I was so hot, my face was so red, and i was wheezing, but i DID complete it without ......... dying!!!
Next Sunday we plan on going 7 or 8 miles. i guess i am fortunate to have a husband that "wants" to go with me .
the rest of the afternoon i spent watching a move "Anne of Green Gables". it was a nice relaxing day.
Today i workout with Christina, yeah, it will be our first workout together in a couple of weeks so I am all excited!! You just gotta know this woman to love her. Kids have just 3 more days of school left... i look forward to summer vacation with them home... Sadly my youngest son will move to the high school in the fall. so I am officially, 12 years later, done with the elementary school. unless of course i end up with younger foster children down the road. Well I should get ready to go to Curves.
I love Rainy Mondays, ........ So i will enjoy today
PS Gina, If you'd like to go for a walk in the evening let me know, Sammy has baseball tues and thurs this week.

Sounds like you had an eventful walk.
Your ability to carry on even with all the wheezing reminds me of a verse in Psalm 139:16 LB
O Lord, You saw me before I was born and scheduled Each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!
Sandi, that day, and that hike was promised to you long before you were ever put on this earth, all I can say at this point is VICTORY! for your accomplishment and Gods plan. VICTORY!!!!
How about Wednesday evening? I get off work at 5. There's a slight chance I may have to work late, but usually no later than 6. I'm excited to learn about more hiking trails in the area!
Gina, Christina is going to give me your cell number if that is okay with you..... but right now weds sounds good.....we can even plan meeting at 630 or 700 pm to give you time to unwind or do whatever you do after work
Sandi, that's fine. You can always call the house number, too. And as far as time goes, the earlier, the better for me...I've become addicted to So You Think You Can Dance, which begins at 8, so I'd like to be back in time for it. (This is my life. I schedule it around television. It's very sad.) Where are you thinking about going?
then we will go as soon as you get off work....... there is a place to park right by federal lab it's new trails, i like them both... we can go either direction. I'll call the house, i need to talk to your mom also
