1 down, 9 more to go.

I did it! I hiked to that dang "Y" on the Mountain, in Provo. One word for you...

PAIN! That's how I'm feeling. Muscles that I never knew I had hurt.

I walked into YW on Sunday and saw the girls I hiked with. I asked them if they were sore. They're response...

..."no, not really." Of course not! They're in much better shape then I am. They all play sports and are on some sort of sports team in school. They work out ALL.THE.TIME. It's no wonder Anga wanted to run those last few switchbacks. She probably felt like she wasn't getting a good work out stopping every 10 feet with me...lol.

I'm not really looking forward to doing it again this Saturday, but I've got to do it. These girls are with me on this journey and I couldn't be more proud, and thankful. They're amazing Young Women, and they push me.

Now I just need to condition more during the week before each hike, maybe that'll help make it so I'm not about to keel over.

Love, Shan

Goal

I have been so inspired by some friends of mine this summer. They had the goal of hiking the 'Y' in Provo 10 times throughout the summer. I believe each Wednesday morning they hiked it. Awesome!

I'm not much of a hiker and I've never hiked the Y, I know, crazy. I mean I've lived in Utah for over 20 years and have never hiked the Y. Well, my friends. This is about to change.

I'm going to hike the Y each Saturday morning with some friends and some of my Laurels. We're going to do it 10 times as well. The last hike for us will be at the end of October. However, with the fall leaves coming up around that time, I may not want to quit.

Y mount here I come!

Yes, we're now one of those couples that take endless video, and pictures of their dog doing funny things. We love him!
