HIKING!!
I am so excited!! I have a new fitness goal. Tonight we were at some friends' house and this discussion of hiking came up. Now I have always liked hiking. When I was little, we would go camping and would ALWAYS have a few days of hiking up a mountain or 2. So when this topic came up, I was pretty interested. Then our friend says that every year and sometimes twice a year, he takes 2 or 3 people on this extreme hike at Big Bend. This hike is 32 miles. Yep, you read that right. 32 miles. It takes 14 HOURS solid hiking to finish. So I have made a plan to go in the fall. I know, I know. It sounds crazy. I am so excited though. I have already made the goal to run a half marathon within the year, so I am just going to add this to my list. What do ya'll think? How awesome does that sound????

I think that sounds like a fantastic idea. I would do it in a heart beat. It sounds so exciting. Look you only live life once. Enjoy it.:)
It's great to have a plan and go hiking. Go for it Nicole - Go for it!
Great way to exercise, rejuvenate and be close to nature.
Heee..go for it! Have fun.
Kenny just reminded me that 14 hours is how long it takes us to get to Birmingham! That's a looong way.... You go, girl. I'm impressed w/anyone that can walk that far!
hiya! I came here via http://workingmomofliam.blogspot.com/!!
Hiking 14 hours sounds fabulous! I, too, camped and hiked as a child, and was a major girl scout (I went all the way through from Brownie to Senior!!!)
However I don't know if I could do it now...with my post-baby weight. Hike a few for me!
Hats off to you!! It is also a great way to enjoy the outdoors -- never boring!!
I think it sounds awesome that you are doing it & not me! haha
I give you props for going for it!
do it. hiking is so much fun, wish i had more time to do that. Crazy that you're going to run a half marathon. I'm planning on a running a few of those and then my marathon in October. I'm already signed up...we'll see if I make it or not!
