Happy 35th Birthday to me!

July 12, 2014 by Nutty Hiker Last Modified: February 18, 20228 Comments

Most people on their birthday try and sleep in or go out and party. I on the other hand, wake up at 0500 to hike 12 miles! Happy 35th Birthday to me! LOL.

12 Mile Birthday hike at Dana Peak Park 2014

A huge thank you to my husband who was a trooper and went with me. You can see how thrilled he was to wake up at 0500 and hike 12 miles on his day off, but it was my birthday after all and he will pretty much do anything to make sure I always have the best birthday possible!

However, in the end it was all worth it (for me at least lol). My husband has a hate/love relationship with hiking and me. I have a tendency to say just one more mile which actually means 3 more miles. But the best part of hiking, it being sweaty at the end. It’s then that you realize how amazing you feel!
