Beach Hiking  | | Some friends invited me on a short beach hike this weekend now that they figured I am somewhat in shape from running and cycling. However, they totally redefined hiking for me. Because when I think of hiking, I'm thinking walking along a dirt trail. Well, this was more like rock climbing! First we had to descend the side of a cliff, then take a path for part way, and then climb over a bunch of rocks. And getting up the cliff again was even harder.
My hiking sandals proved to be pretty good though, since even when wet they had decent grip. I nearly slipped a few times but I think that was mostly due to my ankles not being 100% yet (I sprained them both about 8 weeks ago).
Overall it was a good workout and pretty cool! I'm thinking about trying the same trail again in a couple weeks and bringing a camera along next time. I could have kicked myself for forgetting the camera!

Pigglies (5039) | 3 months ago | Here we don't get snow, so we went up north to go to a snow camp. The bus was on the news because the driver didn't know how to put chains on and we were on the edge of a mountain. And then the power was out quite a bit. We hiked through the snow a few times. Which now might have been fun, but then it was really not. The camp burned down a year or two after we went there.

sarahruthbeth22 (10517) | 3 months ago | Holy Cow! That is a T.V movie of the week! I am glad no one got hurt. I hate the snow. back when snow meant no school, I loved it but now it just means being stuck at home.

Pigglies (5039) | 3 months ago | You're welcome. The cold is almost gone, but a slight cough is left and I'm still slightly stuffy. But barely. I was able to go to Disneyland and was fine until I got a headache. But even then, not too bad.
