Yes we can


Ben and I are on assignment.
We have been asked to go on the Laurel High Adventure this summer. It is a backpacking trip up the Pacific Ridge. I love it because I get scheduled camp-outs with Ben and a good excuse to get in shape. We always want to plan hikes but never get around to it. So, this year it is planned for us. Three hikes leading up to the big, 30-miler!

This is yet another motivation to get me off my hiney. I have started my “From couch potato to 5K” plan. Hopefully, I will stick with it. I want to be able to run the 5K at Girl’s Camp this year. My goal is to not come in last.

We have a busy summer ahead of us. Not to mention, the Nielsen Family Fun Week in Hawaii! We can’t wait!

I know it is only February but now is the time to get myself back in shape.

That sounds like an awesome hike! I am also trying to get back in shape and it is tough. Persistence is my new goal...I will work on the distance after that :) It is good to have a goal, though, so I am sure you will do great! Good luck!!!
