Deceptively Unfit

So a few weeks ago at dinner, we decided that after we ate we should all go hike the Y. We live so close it's ridiculous we haven't gone before now. In fact, there is a trail that goes from our house to the start of the Y trail. So we really have no excuse. After we ate we loaded up on water and headed over. I had not hiked the Y since I was a teenager but as I remembered it wasn't a very long hike. Well I was right...the hike is short but it is STEEP! Much steeper than I remembered! We started up it and the kids (being kids) ran up ahead with Tom while I huffed and puffed my way up. The whole way up I kept thinking of the term, "deceptively unfit" which we heard one season on Dancing with the Stars. Basically, I am of average size, average strength, and I look like I could hike the Y fairly easily, but NOPE! I learned something that night, I am OUT OF SHAPE! I will be remedying that quickly! Here are some great pics from the hike. (By the way, Hailey wore sandals and her feet starting hurting (imagine that!!) so Tom had to carry her down piggy-back style! Thank heaven for dads!
