Yea! Hiking...





We went for a hike today that was straight uphill - 2000 feet. It was one of those walks where you keep thinking you're almost there, and you're totally not (Don't let my smile fool you -- I was delirious.) My motivation to reach the top was a rotund gal in jeans (who hikes in jeans?!) and her boyfriend who were ahead of us - if they could do it, so could we (in theory). More motivating was the tanned and fit couple in their 60s who we saw on the way down. Holy crap. I was whining about dehydration, my bad knee (I have one - really) while holding my lower back with my arm, while these two whizzed by us with no effort. Iain said, "That'll be us one day!" Uh, huh.

Whatever. I took the elevator up to my office this morning and am currently enjoying a stunning view of Mountain Avenue or, as I like to call it "The Mountain".
