So it has been a while, but the challenge is still going STRONG. Running, hiking, speed walking - all have been apart of my life this past week. RAIN or SHINE. Mostly rain, which in the summer I was looking forward to. But now, it is kinda yucky.
Last Saturday, my two best friends and I celebrated Anna's Birthday! Potter painting and this then happened... no, no tattoos this time, but we did get piercings! Hey, I mean 26 is still young enough to do some crazy things right??!! RIGHT.
After the piercings were good and calmed down... HAH I could barely smile after it was done because the awkwardness of something in my nose and the pain were all I could think of. SO WORTH IT. Call us crazy, we love them!
ANYWAY - back to the running/hiking/walking LYFE - This Thanksgiving, Rick and I woke up at 4AM to hike five miles in the mountains. Time for a RUNNING break - I thought a hike would be good on the joints. Joined by my brother, his fiancé, her family and my bro's best friend - it was quite a group! Headlamps on, fleece leggings ready we hiked. Pitch black - we were climbing to see the sun rise. We had an hour or so to make it to the top and man, the view was SO worth it.
EDITED PIC OBVI. But still you get the idea. BEAUTIFUL.
Rick and I after making it to the top! Aren't we just the cutest? :) He rocks. Especially in those socks.
The top of this hike is the jump off of all the hang gliders in the area. We stayed up there for a good 20 minutes before our bodies stared to cool down and we realized it was REALLY cold! Back down we went. Five miles total and I made it up in lighting speed!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving week! I am so thankful for family and friends that encourage me, legs that can climb mountains, air in my lungs and a God who blesses us with views like that one above.
