POST SCRIPT
I am unbelievably technologically illiterate. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resize my photos so that they are not blurry on the blog. They look okay everywhere else and then I get them here and yuck! If anyone can help me, in very simple 4th grade computer lingo, I would very much appreciate it. I have so many photos I would love to post but it is so frustrating that I just give up. Oh boy, something else to work on, not quitting. Anyway, I would appreciate any help that is out there. Maybe I will buy a book. I’m sure they have a “posting photos on your blog” for dummies book. At least I hope they do. Thanks again and HIKE ON!

Training
Oh how I love training.
what I find absolutely amazing about my body is that the more I work out the bigger I get. My body has this crazy ability to build muscle. And build it, it does. My behind is so big these days and I have amazon thighs. Solid muscle mind you but big all the same. when I was sick I lost almost 20 pounds and most of my muscle tone. I was kind of hangy but I could fit into junior size 11 pants. Boy was I excited. Now that I am working out my 14’s are pretty well filled out.The body does look better but it is definetely larger. I am back in my 14’s and I guess it isa “small”(ha ha) price to pay to be strong and healthy. I suppose that a strong fit 14 is actually better that a weak, puny size 11. Oh well. I pick healthy.
Thank you Father for this healthy size 14 body. A body that is able to take nourishment and give nourishment. I love you and I thank you.

These are few pics of the hill I walk with my hiking partner about 4 times a week. Our basic walk is three miles. 1.5 up and 1.5 down. Sometimes we will jump the fence and take the cow trail up to the caves. I have no idea how much mileage this adds but I know it increases the workout like 100%. Well it feels that way anyway. On weekends that we are home we will do a 12 mile loop around the hill. There are two significant ups and two significant downs. All great workouts for hiking.
Oh and did I mention the views. We can see the foothills the entire time we are walking but when we reach the top it opens up into the Sierra Nevada and as usual, God takes my breath away. I hope everyone has something in their life that fills them as full of God’s love as I feel when I am climbing, or just looking at the mountains.
Hike on!
