I'm Back!

We were camping last week, for Spring Break, so that's why I've been away for awhile. (Thanks for checking in on me Kate! You're a sweetie!!!)
Our Spring Break Camping trip was so much fun! It's always nice to get away from everything (tv, computers, work, home, etc). We spent almost all of our time outside. In the evenings we had campfires, and during the days we went hiking everyday; hiked the hiking trails, hiked down to the fishing pond, hiked to the playground, chased after the boys while letting them ride their bicycles, etc. It was a blast!
I actually did my running schedule while we were gone, but instead of running on a treadmill, I was running in the most beautiful scenery, and up/down hills. Wow! Running outside is so much harder; yet, so much more enjoyable. LOVED IT! I think I logged about 8-10 mile a day, between running and hiking. Some of the hiking even had me carrying a 40 lb weight on my back (aka: seth, piggy back riding because he was tired! lol!).
We had a wonderful week, and I could barely move by the time it was over. I was so sore. But it was so worth it. :) I was sad to see it come to an end...

Yesterday we went to church and got home late. I then had to go grocery shopping, and then we started working on our taxes. I never did get my long run in, so I did it today instead. :) It was hard to run on that treadmill (after having ran outside all week, in the beautiful spring weather and the amazing scenery), but I suffered through it anyway.

***On a side note: Kate, are you still getting e-mails from me? I sent you one over the weekend, and then another one today. Just wanted to make sure you are getting them. :)
