2nd big hike of the season.

Well DH and I did our 2 hour hike. About 7 km. ( I think 5 km was up the mountain and 2 down)  my legs are so out of shape! I think someone put cement in my hiking shoes! My feet felt so heavy. But well enough complaining…. I did it and plan to do it again Wed after work.  After that we went for a coffee - came home and did numerous tasks and had a nap @ 4:00 . Not a bad day off. I think I covered the mind body soul stuff for the day. The lady who owns the coffee/doughnut  shop in town is new here and she use to run alot when she lived on the west coast. She is swamped with her business and DH and I are taking her hiking on Wednesday. Lots of new people to our area are nervous about going out alone (bears) so we think it is so important to bring others with us when we can. She is prop. older than I (47) but she has done many marathons so I will be eatting her dust! should be fun.  We are sure getting to know lots more people here from all different walks of life. We even have our American friend( also canadian)  up for the summer - from Arizona. (has a condo here) So she will push me to hike also.
Oh I also bought a rock tumbler - so I am going to rock and roll! Not sure if any of you remember that I have a rock collecting problem? I have been gluing them on wood trays & bowls and then grouting them. They have turned out wonderful! So anyways now I will beable to polish the rocks! I guess I better get out hiking and collect more.
Have a wonderful day!

    Sounds like you’ve been having fun!  Micheal and I used to take 5 mile walks regularly in California…before the pain started getting bad.  I sure miss it, but oh well.  Glad you’re able to enjoy it.

    You know, just because your friend has completed marathons does not mean you’re going to eat her dust.  As for me, I tell you, I can finish a marathon, but I can’t hike if my life depended on it….chances are, the bears would feast on me!! Hahahah!!

    Char, I am glad to see you blogging regularly!!
