Been a while since I have hiked

August 30, 2015 by Nutty Hiker Last Modified: October 2, 2017Leave a Comment

It has been a while since I have hiked! In fact, it has been about 8 months or so since I last hiked. Trying to determine what was causing my health issues took a lot of time; then summer came, and so on and so on. I also started writing for our local newspaper here in Harker Heights and volunteering with our local volunteer fire department (the same one my husband volunteers at).

Needless to say, I have kept myself really busy over the last 8 months.

I hadn’t planned on hiking at all this morning, but my cousin messaged me yesterday and asked if I’d be up for an early morning hike. I should also point out that we have never met. This is what I like to call big family problems.

So after 36 years we finally met this morning and imagine that, we are a lot alike. =) We only hiked about 2.5 miles or so. It was a great warm up to get me ready to get back on the trails again. We spent so much time talking I completely forgot to take a picture!

You know that’s not like me one bit! Anyway, I had a great time and by the time I was done, I felt like a million bucks! Can’t wait to go on more adventures with her!

Until next time….hike away!
