Today Redding was really gorgeous. The temp was in the 80′s and there was a very nice breeze. Craig and I were talking about going to breakfast and then maybe taking a short walk down at the Sacramento River Trail. I really haven’t been on the trail before and I don’t know much about it. I learned about it today!
We started out and it was beautiful. I noticed these manmade wooden stumps that had numbers on them. I didn’t realize at the time that 6.2 meant miles. I am a fat chick there is no way I would agree to walk 6.2 miles! We walked and walked and walked. I noticed a few more of those stump things along the way. Finally I asked Craig what are the numbers. That was when I was informed of the mileage. and there was no where to get off the path. You either turned around and went back or you continued forward. So Forward we went.
I at one point asked Craig to call Medivac and he wouldn’t. I at that point text messaged a couple friends and asked them too. They encouraged me to keep going. I really would have preferred to be airlifted out but I guess it is true what they say “NO PAIN NO GAIN” (right Robin). I did make Craig take a picture of me when I made it back to the car. I still think I was tortured!
I guess he thinks that since I have the exercise ball shrine that never gets disturbed that he would try and get me more active. I must say that I complained less then Hope did which was nice. I also need to say that for those of you who were thinking about buying Bali style Keens sandals, they were awesome. Not a blister or sore foot to speak of. I was mighty impressed. Yes, I know that when you are thinking of going on a walk you should wear tennis shoes but I prefer to wear sandals. I was making sure that there wasn’t any false advertising were Keens are concerned. My wonderful sandals are listed as sports sandals! Craig say I must show you the Ball Shrine so here it is. 
I’ve got the tools I just need to start using them!!
