15 Mile Training Hike

Our 15 mile training hike turned into 10 miles because we decided to stop and eat Mexican food instead.  Priorities!

We went out to Lake Hodges and the plan was to walk out to the pedestrian bridge and back and then out to the dam and back.  However, there happens to be a joint called the Hernandez Hideaway positioned right where the additional 5 miles would have started.  Carolen decided she was only doing 10 early on so when we reached the parking lot to bid her farewell, we all stood around and looked at each other.  None of us had a problem stopping and eating.  LOL.  I did feel kind of lame for not completing 15 miles but not lame enough to push on.  We went at a slower pace finishing the 10 miles in 3 hours and 17 minutes although it did feel like Ingrid was setting a blistering pace.  I was able to capture a couple of shots this time. 

I think we have plans to do some kind of hill work-out and then we will have "The Big 20" to send Carolen on her way to Canada.

Here's a shot of Dennis rolling out my tight calves with a rolling pin.  LOL!  He looks stoned but he's just really tired.





Carolen, Ingrid, and Nancy







I ate one of these leaves.  Ingrid said it was okay.  They were really peppery.
