Weekend Wrap Up

WOW!  This weekend was amazing and greatly needed.  Everyone knows that the Med School journey doesn't allow much time or money for vacations and splurges so we have to get creative.  We usually just hang out at home and watch movies, do housework, or run errands but this weekend we got out and enjoyed the first bit of beautiful weather we've had in quite some time.  


We didn't spend any money other than a few dollars in gasoline for the car and we had so much fun.  This weekend felt like a vacation and great adventure.  It really was a breath of fresh air.  


I have to say that the hiking was my favorite.  I'm a little sore today and it's probably just from my fall.  My right ankle received a slight injury, but it'll be fine.  I don't believe it'll get in the way of my running too much.  My rear-end is really sore from the fall too.  Sadly, I keep looking to see if there's a bruise.... that's how bad it hurts.  My right arm is sore from all the tennis we played on Friday.  This has taught me that it's time to start lifting weights.  Yep, folks.... I'm headed to the gym to start pumping iron again.  


Here's what we did this weekend in case you missed my previous posts....
