Ohh hi there. It's true I've been a bit of slacker when it comes to blogging. I've not been called to write down all my adventures lately. Sad, but true. I guess I'm feeling the need to update.
Back in May I completed my 9th TNT event, alongside my husband (his first TNT event) and 3 friends from NC. We were joined by folks all over the country in the beautiful Grand Canyon. We did a day hike, on the Bright Angel Trail down to Indian Garden. It was AMAZING!! The views were incredible. It's just like what everyone says, words cannot describe being right there in the mist of it all. It was a fun and easy hike into the canyon, we trotted along with no worries at all. Coming back out was a whole other adventure. As the sun started to really come out and the climb out was full of steep switchbacks, this girl got tired. I had to battle a few inner demons (please can the mule just come pick me up??). I was forced to eat some more (my drinking of fluids was fine, but I'm always terrible at nutrition). With the help of my hubby and my friends I made it back up. Our pace was pretty quick, set by one friend with really long legs. The rewards, besides the fact that raised a ton of money for blood cancer research and helping patients with blood cancer, was prickly pear margaritas!! Bring on the salt!! All in all it was one of the most amazing TNT adventures I've had.
