Slugger - 2008-09-02 5:08 AM Okay, I'll fess up, but first I ask you to please be gentle. I hurt. A lot. But I didn't train. I went backpacking this weekend for the first time in far too many years. It was gloriously wonderful (except for some parts), and I loved it. But I ended up, through a convoluted mess of events, carrying almost 60 pounds. And hiking with an idiot who was far slower than the 4-year-old. So a three hour easy hike in took five hours. With 60 pounds on my back (and, more importantly, on my still-recovering feet). Then I got up the next morning, shouldered the pack, summited, and headed off downhill. I left the rest of the gang at the top so I could make it down in time to sleep. See, I work night shift, so I had to get to bed. I was less than half a mile from home, hurtin' like a demon, eager for my toothbrush, a shower, and my bed (that order), when my cell went off. My best friend, whom I had left at the summit with her 8 yo daughter and the idiot, twisted her ankle badly. I'm on SAR and know wilderness first aid, so I grabbed my SAR gear (insanely reduced to lighten the load as much as possible), almost cried looking at my toothbrush and shower, and headed out. Got up to her, got her down off the mountain (she was almost there, the woman is made out of steel), then had to get her dog and daughter safely to her parents' house and her to the ER. Oh yeah, remember how I work nights? Yeah, I had to be to work early. I went straight from the ER to work. On zero sleep. After backpacking. So I will present myself for appropriate punishment, but please be gentle because I hurt all over. If it is any consolation, I've already done two pushup sessions this morning, and it just turned 5 am.

*sigh* I would *like* to use the prod on you. But I can't. Hm. Can I use it on the "idiot" instead?

Yes, I had the same exact reaction.  It's kinda tough to taser someone who does SAR... and is a good friend to boot.  OK, you get a hall pass .

I slogged today.  I also did a little ST... so it seems I don't have to torture myself.  Yet.

What what?  A day off?  It's only day 3 down there! 

OK, OK, since you got another workout in I guess it's acceptable... but anymore time off results in the Naughty Janet .  I figure that ought to bring Blake running to the thread...

the Naughty Janet???  what have I been missing out on?

Lol -actually today is tomorrow for you... so MY today Im taking off... there will be NO workout... BUT... Im still on track for goals so really Im not missing anything... right? 

Yes, I know!  That's why I said day 3 instead of 2... but yes, I believe everyone is entitled to rest days.  Unless, of course, at the end of the month they are behind on their goals.  In which case I'll break out the pink furry cuffs and the janet.

Ohhhhhh Cat... wait until you see the shoes I just bought.  Nothing says perfect outfit like matching shoes and taser.

Pictures please!!! Im a TOTAL shoe girl!!! And I didnt think I had much girliness in me! 

Well I got out on the wrong side of the bed so...
