Fast forward to yesterday. I'm now 33 years old. I have spent years being in the worst shape of my life, but over the course of the past 6 months I've been working to change that. I will admit that I felt nervous when it was first suggested that we have a family hike to the Y. Nervousness, interchanged with minor dread, rocked me for a few days. I knew I was in better shape now, but I still remembered how difficult it had been for me the last time when I was much younger.
Then yesterday as I was standing on the slope of the mountain, there on the painted white rocks that make up the Y, those feelings were completely absent. Instead, there was only elation. SUCCESS!! I don't get that feeling very often, and I don't feel proud of myself all too much. But in this case, I just wanna scream I DID IT at the top of my lungs. :)

Aaw, La! How's the view from up there? Can you see me? Did the kids go?
Yes 5/6 of Lee's kids were there, and my 2. They all did really great, and while this post is about my accomplishments, it's worth noting that everyone did great on this hike and we all had a lot of fun.
That is awesome, La!! So proud of you. That is such a hard hike...it's like straight up the whole time, so that is a HUGE accomplishment. Way to go, buddy! Love you!
Kar!!! It was so good for me. Hey man, I gotta email you about your surg...please hold.
That's excellent! And how come you don't have me in the "blogs I follow" list? For shame!
Well done! That's the way to finish the business. ;o)
