Getting in Shape, Hiking and Lost Dogs

I have decided that its time to get back in shape!! I only have till June 30th to do it!!! i am having surgery on that day and want to get my body back in shape before then! I had the same surgery two years ago and even though it was a very minor surgery I remember that it kicked my butt! Thats not happening again!!! besides all that i just really want to be in shape!!! I have had a membership to 24 hour fitness for forever...but sadly there is not one in Ogden, so I was forced to get one at Golds....now i just have to find the time to use it!!! Between work and school all my time is gone!!

Here is what i have done so far

On Sunday i had to work so I did not have a lot of time to work out, but we did squeeze in a quick hike between church and work. It was not a very long hike, but it was enough to make my legs sore the next day!!

On Monday we took a longer hike, we always take the dogs with us and it makes it so much fun! The dogs are so entertaining. There are some pics of the hike at the end of this post!

Finally today....I was totally wanting to go to the gym, but then i decided that we should go on another hike, so i get myself and the dogs ready. We were just leaving and josh noticed that the neighbors dogs were not in there yard. One of there dogs got out yesterday so we knew they had gotten out again. So the hike got put on hold and we went searching for Maxine & Larue ( the neighbors dogs.) So I see Maxine in the cemetery behind our house, so i walked clear around to the entrance of the cemetery to go get her and when i got to her she was gone, so i ran clear back around to see if she went back in there yard, she wasn't there. then i thought i saw her running a few blocks down the road so i ran there, and she wasn't there. Then I saw her back by the cemetery and ran to get her and once again she was gone. This continued for a while, needless to say i got quite the work out. Finally our neighbor came home and she was able to get Maxine. but little Larue was still missing. Our neighbors was walking up and down the street looking for her, we had to go to run some errands so we left. As we were driving down the street I notice the animal control truck in a driveway. I made Josh turn around so i could ask if they had found Larue. And sure enough the guy open the back of his truck and there was Larue!! Im so glad we were able to find the dogs for our neighbor!!! (even if it consumed most of our evening) I would be sick if our dogs got out!!!

I think chasing the dogs was the best work out i have had in a while!! One more thing....while chasing the dog i decided to climb over a nasty old rusty chain link fence. I didn't notice till we were in the car going to run our errands that i had cut my leg open on the fence!!! Since i have not had a tetnus shot in the past ten years I had to joy of getting one tonight!!! hopefully my arm doesn't hurt tomorrow!!!

Here are some pics from our hike on Monday!!
