Relaxation Weekend

This actually may be the real Old Man in the Cave! Pretty cool!

Stellar Jenn and I cooking in the kitchen!


That's one huge cliff! Taking this picture was really hard for me! I do not like heights higher than my 5'8" frame, so this few hundred foot drop with no railing was a bit intimidating! I got as close as I could, but Ceito really took a peek over the thing!


See the little people down in there? This was just amazing stuff!

Me with Stellar Jenn and my great friend Betsy

That is Ceito the human bridge. This is a really cool picture and I will be printing it tonight. It even looks odd turned on its side. We made him do this 2 times to get a good shot. He is one buff dude!

A little crevice I found.

Self Portrait!


With Winks and The Bug tucked in safely with my parents (thanks mom and dad), Ceito and I went off with 3 other couples and enjoyed some active relaxation! We went to Hocking Hills/Old Man's Cave area, and it was incredibly beautiful and secluded.

We slept until about 7:30 on Saturday, had a slow easy morning meal, hot tubbin', then I took my bald man shoes out for a 30 minute run (great ugly shoes!), then all 8 of us had massages. I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage right after my run and it was just awesome. I really wish I could have one of those every week! Then we went for a 3 hour hike through Old Man's cave up to Cedar Falls. It was so amazing. God just really went crazy on designing this place. Gorgeous day, gorgeous surroundings, good friends too! I also learned how to cook a few new things thanks to my great friend Betsy who can cook some incredible dishes. We played some fun games and watched a good movie too.

On the way home tonight Ceito decided to tell me that he saw a dead mouse and bat in the corner behind a cabinet. Thanks for holding off on that info until after we were gone. Reminds me of the triathlon I did at Buckeye Lake when he told me after the race was over that a piranha was found in the water.........ewww gross! Thanks though!

All in all a great weekend! Relaxing, fun, gorgeous!

Ugly Old Lady Shoes

Met a bald man who fit me for running shoes and bought my first real professionally fit pair.

They are ugly!

Blue..........................yuck!!

I wanted some cute little things, but they apparently were not the right kind for my feet! My training partner (I'll call her Jeannie now, since that's her name, and I'm tired of calling her my training partner) got cute little ones with orange and pink.......

Mine are ugly, just plain ugly!!

But they feel good.......so now that just makes me old!

I'm buying what feels good and not what's cute.

Hummpf..............I'm now ugly and old!
