Yesterday morning, Todd and I set out on a hike. It ended up being about 4 miles long and there were some fun hills mixed in. Before we left, I had a Green Monster with Almond Milk, Spinach, Strawberries, Banana, and ice. The recipe that I use for myself will be in the next post.

Talk about hills! I guess I know where to come if I ever want to do some serious hill training. It was a nice hike overall with plenty of creatures and quickly walking away from several bees. We stopped around mile 2 to have some lunch.

I had a some Almond Butter and Dried Pineapple on a Whole Wheat Roll along with a Blueberry ZBar. This really hit the spot!

Some pictures from the hike. Including one a river we had to cross over. I think we crossed maybe four rivers, and yes, my feet got soaked!

This was neat. There was a sign put up on this tree years ago and the tree actually grew around it!

When I got home, I plugged in the Garmin to check out the elevation differences in the hike. I told you there were hills

I was a little hungry so I finished up the bag of dried pineapple that I had put on my sandwich earlier.

I read some and then completely crashed. I slept for almost 3 hours! It was pretty late in the evening and I wasn’t that hungry, so I just put together a small plate of Ak-Mak crackers that I got from Trader Joe’s, and some Tribe 40 Spices Hummus.

I had heard about these crackers before but had never tried them and I was really surprised. The light taste they have with the spices in the hummus really went well together.

The evening concluded with some True Blood, more reading, and making a reservation at a restaurant for my birthday tomorrow
