Catch-up!

So much has happened since I last blogged!

1) Hike

The hike was wonderful. We (me and dad) drove out to the middle of PA... which is also the middle of nowhere. We just kept driving and driving, thinking, where IS this place? We were going to the Minister Creek trail. We eventually found it: a 3 1/2 hour drive from home. We were pretty eager to get on the trail, so we hopped out of the car and hit the trail with relish. The path was wide, people with their kids passed us, and we felt foolish with our backpacks. Little did we know. The path kept getting narrower and narrower, until we were climbing over rocks. Exhausted, we finally took a break at the overlook. We guessed we were at least a third done. Not. We had gone .8 miles on a 6.4 mile trail. We made up a song: "This is the trail that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends..." it also rained, so most of the time we were huddled in our ponchos. I've got some pictures I'll try to upload soon. By the time we got back to the car, hours and hours later, we were wet, cold, and somewhat dirty. Our next stop was Grove City, at their outlet mall. It's supposed to be really big, but Lodi seemed about the same size. We bought fresh clothes, changed into them, and went to the Elephant and Castle for dinner, then to Eat N Park for dessert. I hurt so much when I got home, it felt like my muscles had atrophied during the long ride. I was amazed, therefore, when it didn't hurt at all the next day, miracle of miracles. Me and dad have decided we're going to hike more often... but hopefully with no rain.

2) Exercise
I've managed to exercise every day but one since my last post. Right now I'm going 2.3 miles in 30 min on the treadmill. There's also some exercise classes at CSU I'm going to attend on Mondays and Wednesdays.

3) Work
Which I have to go to shortly. I got called in on Thursday, Nichole was sick. Made $37 bucks, was very very bored.

4) School
More on that tomorrow.
