I went hiking with my friend Missy one Saturday morning. This is a new phase of life for me. When I run I go before everyone wakes up and get home about the time they are waking up. When my kids were more dependent I wanted to be there when they woke up to help them. Now they can all get dressed themselves, get their own breakfast, do their chores, etc. So for me to be gone for a few hours on a Saturday morning is no big deal. We hiked from about 7:00-9:00 up to Silver Lake and back. It was so beautiful with the fall colors. We saw a moose on the way up.
