Outdoorsie Mama

So my tootsies are still sore from our hike due to the fact that my new hikers are about a half size too small, BUT I popped into Coast Mountain Sports where I bought them and put on a sad face to the guy who sold them to me (and I even confessed that I was hiking in them) and he said that since they're waterproof I should be able to clean them up pretty good and they should be able to help me out with the exchange to a bigger size :-) Yay! I polished them up good as new last night and I'll make the exchange at lunch time. The insoles are still brand new because I use my own orthotics so hopefully that same guy will be working and he'll hook me up! Otherwise it would have been a waste of $130! :-S

So my little mini there on the side is a sad girl that I haven't been running, but my toes actually burn they are that sore from being smoooshed in the shoes on the hike on top of the healing blisters, so no running until that is feeling good. But INSTEAD I got my heart rate pumping for a hilly bike ride around my sub-division and enjoyed the beautiful sun we had. It's supposed to be rain for the next few days, so it was the perfect alternative to still getting exercise in. I've come to realize that I'm a total outdoor exercise person, with the exception of yoga which is usually indoors and I love that too. OH and my yoga instructor in my community holds Saturday morning yoga at Cleveland Beach during the summer, so I'm super looking forward to that! It will be pretty early in the morning, but she said it finishes up just in time to continue on to the Farmer's Market in Hubbards after, which to me sounds like a perfect Saturday morning!
