Thought of the Day… Hiking is the best workout!… You can hike for three hours and not even realize you’re working out. And, hiking alone lets me have some time to myself. ~Jamie Luner

Happy Independence Day, USA! I hope you had a wonderful holiday! We didn’t do the normal picnic and fireworks…

Take a look at my pedometer* from today’s activities…

Yep, that’s 22,805 Steps!!

According to my pedometer… I walked this many miles today…

Yep, that’s 10.99 miles (17.69 km)… to top it off, it was more than just a walk… we hiked… we’re not “hikers” and the best part… and it was HOT!!!

I wanted to get it up to a whole number, but my feet hurt! My knees hurt (I fell twice)… I’m completely wiped, so please forgive me for not posting today’s activities. I will tell you that I took over 538 photos TODAY alone! Don’t worry, I won’t be posting that many – your eyes would go criss-cross if I did…

I’ll fill you in later… (sorry for teasing you!)

Hope you enjoyed your holiday! What did you do? If you don’t celebrate the USA Independence Day, then what did you do today? Sure hope your feet don’t hurt as much as mine.

*P.S. I love my pedometer! (this is not a paid advertisement.
