Conquering Half-Dome

Freaking out before we made the final climb up the cables!

The following week we were in Yosemite National Park. With a team of 14 people and in about 15 hours we hiked 18+ miles, climbing 8800 feet up. I got to cross this one off my bucket list and am not sure I will ever make this journey again. It was a great adventure and a great challenge of endurance but freaky! Matt loved nearly every second of it especially the diving board!

Mud Run 6/7/09

June 7th we did the Camp Pendleton 10k Mud Run in San Diego. Cousin Jen was there running it with a team. It was a little over-night, pre anniversary, getaway and another chance to see what our bodies are capable of. Way more walking was involved than we had hoped, due to my knee acting up. And some of those hills were pure evil. All in all it was a good day topped off with a little Wienerschnitzel as a reward for our hard work. Come on, we were carb loading for our next endurance trip up to half-dome.
