Yesterday!
Apr. 6th, 2007 10:28 amMorning Update.
The sun is shining over Tiger Mountain again. I guess the lucky part about this office is that it is so close to the Mountain that I feel owns me. It makes me want to go out and go up it RIGHT now. It’s gorgeous. Working at 7AM insures that I get to see the sun come up over it most of the year every morning. This week is sunny and nice here in Western Washington.
Yesterday we hit 77. I TxTed my friend Susan in Florida and she laughed claiming that’d be a cold front for them. It rarely gets to 77 degrees in early spring! I’m loving it. I was just annoyed that I chose to wear my black corduroys – on the warmest day in months.
Cooling down to a 73 by the time I got off work at 6PM, I hit the trail like I was hoping. Oh, man it was nice! I feel good.
I have been beating my old standard time of 30 minutes on the first leg. I’ve been doing 25 each time! Yes, I’ve been pushing, but it hasn’t been THAT hard. The IPOD really helps. And if I have quick beated music, I WILL match my stride to it.
On the second leg, I caught up to 2 men and passed them. I love passing people even if I am an asshat and hate BEING passed. I’ve realized two things. There will always be someone more fit than me. AND, there will always be someone less fit than me.
I can live with that!
People kept calling me on the trail. That’s great and all … I was honestly impressed at my t509 reception all the way up on Tiger Mountain…but, they were going to have to deal with speaker phone and me breathing. Going up the cable line of Tiger Mt. is… steep. And if you go with any force of a quick pace at all, you WILL be breathing.
Jim called and was asking if I still wanted him to come over.
SCORE! So he headed out at 7PM so at 8PM he’d be at my house. I got off the mountain at 7:40 and showered and then he was there yeay.
We had dinner and snuggled and frolicked (yeay sex) and then frankly, I was exhausted. I fell asleep and he played WoW on my laptop in bed.
I kept waking up every 2 seconds to pee because I drank a lot of strawberry lemonade at dinner. BLARG!
Thimble bladder.
And then I had to get up for work. And I did. And I got some stuff done. And now the sunshine makes me want to get out of here. But I must buy new hiking boots before I get out. My old ones are worn out now. DRATS!!!! Yes, I’ve had them for years and they have gone many, many, many rough miles.
Now it’s time to invest in some nice ones that will last me for the next 5-6 years.

My new hiking boots
Apr. 6th, 2007 05:06 pmI took some time to find some boots before end of day.
( Photos under the cut!!! )
Oh. And I kicked the Konica's ass and also took care of most of my requests.
