Chris and I went to the gym to lift and then decided to go on a walk. Well this walk ended up lasting about an hour and a half or so and we always find cool little neighborhoods and sights along the way. Never a dull moment on our walks!
Kelley and Pete arrived around 7-7:30 or so and we walked (go figure!) over to Shooter McGee's (it's right across the street though!) for dinner and drinks. We had a nice time just hanging out and they were a little tired - rightfully so - from a long trip with some cool stops along the way. They left this morning and we're happy we'll get to see them for a longer time next week on their way back up north!
So after they left we just relaxed and found this website, which you should all go to! It's pretty cool. You can get your credit score (well, 1 of them and it's actually free!) and it gives you a "grade" for it (A,B,C,D, and F i guess?) You just put in your name and it will give you a "quiz" to verify your identity. We really only cared about looking at credit and it was really accurate (it also does some stuff with money, etc.) We had gotten Chris' fairly recently so we had something to compare it to and it was accurate. You can see what's on your report and how you are doing with payments, etc. I was really happy to find something so easy, reliable, and with no strings attached. Lots of good info on there!
After that we went for another walk (and some running too!) We suspect that we walked over 6 miles today which we were pretty happy about, though my feet would disagree. We really need to go better prepared. You'd think that we'd know by now that we're not going to be gone for a short amount of time. It was hot and sunny and we almost brought some cash or the debit card, but didn't...and boy were we sorry. I can't get over how much we walk so much over the weekends. Between our actual walks with no real destination and walking to the grocery store or to eat, or last weekend we also walked to Home Depot...we really just walk whenever its within an hour or so distance it seems, lol. Just imagine how skinny we'd be if we could just clean up our eating! Sheesh! :-P
We're actually hoping to do a 50 or 100k day-long hike next year. (Obviously some real and fairly intense training will be involved!) It's at the end of April/beginning of May and we can't do it this year as we already have plans. But next year we're doing it! I think it would be so much fun and I've heard lots of good things about the C & O Canal. Hopefully even though we're not doing the "official" hike we'll still check out the canal and do our own hikes for the time being :)
Anywho, this has been a lot of rambling. I'd like to wish some Happy Birthdays!
Today - Happy Birthday Lindsey!
Monday - Happy Birthday Erin!
Tuesday - Happy Birthday Beth!
Happy Birthday Sarah!
