Natalie asked if I wanted to go for a hike on Sunday and I decided I was up for getting out and enjoying the sunny weather. I met her around 9am and we headed towards North Bend for what I thought was going to be an enjoyable afternoon with Nat.
One thing Natalie forgot to mention is that we were going to climb a dinosaur! Mt. Si is 4 miles of straight climbing! After 2.5 hours, we finally made it to the top, which I will admit was beautiful. But then, it came time to come back down...at first it seemed much easier then the climb up but after about 20 minutes, I was just really ready to be all done. My legs felt like Jell-o and I was beat. About half way down, I took a little (ok, a big) tumble and scraped up my knee.
After 2 hours, we finally made it to the bottom. Me--bloody, filthy, and tired. Natalie --cute, clean and ready for her tri this weekend.
I have to admit it was a fun time...I just think I need to take a break from the 4.5 hour workouts in my new state of being.
