8 miles

I just got back from an 8 mile hike at a place called Bears Den here in Virginia.  It was quite the treck. 
 Let me explain quickly why I did this.  My daughter is going on a 24 mile hike on the Appalachian trail this summer with some of the Young Women from the Church.  Today was one of their training hikes.  I volunteered to go as a chaperone and had a great time. 

There were some steep hills to climb which really challanged my lungs, heart and legs and then going down those hills really challanged my leg muscles and joints.  I am glad I did it and am also glad for Motrin :) 

I hope everyone who lives in Northern Virginia is outside enjoying this gorgeous day.  I hope everyone else is having great weather and is enjoying their weekend.
