I’m completely exhausted.
My knees, both of ’em, are sore from rock-hopping all day.
I’m probably a bit sunburnt.
I no doubt stink to high heaven.
My skin is covered in dirt, my shoes filled with gravel, and I need a shower like you wouldn’t believe.
I’m so tired that the moment my head hits the pillow, I’ll probably be out like a light.
Over fourteen miles were covered today, and every muscle in my body feels it.
I was back on the trail today, and I feel great. 🙂

Ah yes only 14 miles…a mere walk in the park… I think the only time I’ve even hiked 14 miles was when I did Half Dome. And that required months of training. You’re awesome.

Just A Girl – it is indeed
Dingo – Yep, as soon as I edit them and write up the post…
AA – LOL
Homer-Dog – Yep, it’s the best kind of all-body-soreness. Nice to be back out there on the trail, too.
*kb* – Thanks!
Charlotte – Yep. Taking the time off to let it heal right was the best plan.
cripkitty – Yep. Thanks!
Mel Heth – LOL – well, there wasn’t nearly so much elevation gain on this hike! Besides, did you see what Aly did over the weekend?
Ruby – Thanks!

Love it! You sound much more satisfied with your hike performance than I was with my performance! But where are the pics? And ditto to AA, I showered, then blogged my hike… maybe someday I will reach true blogger heights, until then, I have you to look up to 🙂
