So Out of Shape

For our Young Women’s/Young Men combined activity last week I learned that I am terribly out of shape, oh yes, and we hiked the Y.  I had never hiked the Y before (which is kind of weird because I have lived in Utah County basically my whole life). We had such a great time and I am so glad that I went, but man, it was harder than I thought it was going to be.

Luckily for me, one of our young women wanted to go up the mountain pretty slow, so I was able to hang back with her and just make sure that she wasn’t the last one.  It worked out so well because I didn’t have to keep up with the other young women that made it up in 20 minutes… pretty sure I would have died if I had attempted to keep up with them (we were only 30 minutes behind them in the end).

I took my camera to make sure and document that I did in fact make it to the top, but sadly, the battery died on the way up (kind of how my legs were feeling, but I endured). So you’ll only get a couple of pictures and just have to trust me that I did actually make it.  Ask one of the young women, they’ll vouch for me.

I was SO SORE for the next couple of days.  I think I worked muscles I didn’t even know I had. The weirdest though, was my upper abs hurt. In the car, everytime my husband would break or push on the gas and my upper body would move with the car I would cringe.  I didn’t know that hiking worked that muscle, Bryan said it was the downhill part and that makes sense, so I’ll go with it.

It’s probably time for me to get that gym pass and actually go with Bryan and Kevin.
