Our climb


So Kevin & I have decided to participate in a company challenge of "Biggest Loser". I think I have mentioned it not to long ago in another post. This is the beginning of week 2 of that. But we have been going for a "walk" for the past 5 weeks or so. I don't like calling it a "walk" because it's more of a CLIMB! We park our car at the top of the canyon (see red arrow in picture) and go down and around the pavilion and back out. It's killer coming out! But it's so great when you get out and you look how far you went. It's almost 2.5 miles round trip. We have now started jogging it. Kevin jogs much more of it then i do - like the whole thing. But i did somewhere around 1/3-1/2 of the trail jogging back up it last night. I thought i was gonna have a heart attack, but it's a good feeling of accomplishment. Kevin does this trail about every day. I do it 4 out of the 7 days of the week. I have started taking a "Total Body Workout" Class. WHICH I LOVE!!! So i do that the other three days of the week. If we aren't doing our "walk" we go on our 7mile bike ride. I love being able to take advantage of the warmer weather. Because i know Fall is going to come in fast!

That is so pretty and such a great way to exercise. Good for you. I love the biggest loser and I think it would be so fun to go on that show just to be able to only think about working out and eating right. Except that I would have to sneak in some treats every once in awhile. =)

Amazing! I love running in cool places, like NOT the treadmill.

It's so nice to be able to exercise outside instead of couped up in a gym all the time. Good for you!
