I remembered my camera!

So on my way to my hike last week I was very preoccupied with remembering my camera and GPS. Both of these items I have forgotten so many times I can't even tell you. So on my way out the door I am grabbing touque, mitts, phone, socks, water, camera, GPS.
All set.

As I am pulling out of my subdivision I realize that I had meant to also bring my poles and get using them some more. Oh well, I have been hiking all summer without them, one more day won't hurt. So I don't turn around. I keep my eyes on the road and head off to Shelley's, thinking thank goodness I was able to remember my camera!

I pull into the driveway and begin assembling all my paraphernalia. Touque, mitts, phone, socks, water, camera, GPS and boots. Boots? Where the **** are my boots?

I have forgotten my boots!

Who goes for a hike without boots!

So in I go in to break the news to the girls. We try to figure something out and decide to go for a smaller hike with out too many hills as my winter pull ons are not built for walking long or difficult terrain.

We do a quick 4 km in about 50 min and had a good time.

Pictures to follow! HA HA.

Our very small hill that I had to shuffle up. Dumb boots!

Blogger extrodinaire!

I have been fiddeling with the settings on both my blogs and am amazed at how far they have come in such a short amount of time. It seems like it is a matter of finding the right information and steps as to not confuse the snot out of me.
So keep checking as I am on the lookout for the new "thing" to make my blog just that much better.

Just a note. We officially won our first curling game last night, and played with three again so lots of sweeping. Such good interval training!

Killer Hill

Friday was a nice "little" 10 km jaunt that took us across the creek 4 times. Meaning that we got to go down 4 times but back up 4 times as well! And in the process doing Killer hill twice! I keep forgetting to take my camera and really wish I had because now without the leaves on the tress you can actually see across the ravine to the other side of killer hill, really giving you a look at where you will end up.
Cross your fingers, I will remember this Friday.
I will be taking my GPS from now on to get exact mileage and we will time out Fridays so that should be nice to see.
I am also going to bring my poles next week. I am not used to the snow and although I felt ok, I also felt a little out of control a couple times. So we will see. Amanda and I think we will use poles on leg 2 anyway so I midaswell get used to using/carrying them.
Nancy has joined the Friday hike and what a pleasure to have her.
I have been asked to attend something next summer which will move my adventure race to another year but I am really looking forward to this new opportunity! I said the road would be bumpy! I don't have too many details but will keep you posted when I know more definate plans!
The one thing I have learned, is you never know when a great opportunity will arise and somtimes you need to jump at them and changes your plans!
I will still be committed to the Death Race Leg 2 and am nevously excited for that as well.

It's been awhile...

Even though I haven't posted I have been moving! Amanda kicked my butt a couple weeks ago and I paid for it for a couple days.

I jumped on the WII fit last week and to my surprise am down 10 lbs! Who knew. I don'y have a scale other then my WII fit so I don't check it often. Nice surprise though.

Back to it this week. Will hike Fri, crossing my fingers for nice weather although I probably can't hope for it to last much more. We are in November.
