Hikey McHiker-ton....

TGIF!

Wow.. this week has been a long, hard, slow one (that's what she said)!!! I was so whipped. The 1/2 MARATHON that I'm still bragging talking about really took it out of me. Monday and Tuesday about killed me. I was so tired and SOOOO sore. My biggest pain has been in my toes nails! Seriously. I think I might be losing a couple of those bad boys. They are bruised. ICK. When I googled it I was FREAKED out. I mean DANG, I would be the girl with the big ol' size 10 flippers that will soon be missing a few nails. UGH! I'm such a classy babe. Wade is A LUCKY man, at least that's what I've been trying to trick him into believing. :)

I've been enjoying my "rest" days by eating, laying around, watching TV, and reading the incredibly trashy "Fifty Shades of SMUTVILLE Grey." It's the perfect junk book. Nothing amazing about the writing but definitely a good one if you want to read some mega trash, which I just happen to LOVE. I won't lie to you... I'm on book 2 and I think I'll be shopping for the last book soon. Don't judge.

Tonight was my first night exercising since last Sunday. I felt great.... Dreamboat AKA Wade AKA husband of the year offered to hike The Ridge with me. I knew I'd have to fuel up properly for this little adventure so we ate at Carl's Jr. This is always a challenge for me because I want to smash my face into a BIG CARL with extra cheese SOOO badly but I did a little research and looked up the Nutritional Information for Carl's Jr. This ALWAYS makes me stop in my tracks. I decided on the Charbroiled BBQ Chicken Sandwich on a honey wheat bun. This ends up being 390 calories. This was the least offensive food to eat for my calorie allowance. BIG CARL is 930 calories. HOLY COW!

We kicked butt on the hike and had a good time talking and taking high quality photos like these....

I believe I can fly........

 Slight breeze? Maybe so!

 Hiking is hard, I was so tired I fell asleep while flexing.

I'm hoping to get a run in this weekend, maybe even two. We'll see how the toes feel. I also hope the weather is BEAUTIFUL so I can go to yard sales and find some amazing hidden treasures. I'll keep you posted. Enjoy your amazing LONG weekend. Be SAFE. Do something good for yourself and enjoy it.

Love,
