We hiked fifteen somewhat flat although rocky miles at Red Rock Canyon yesterday. I could have used another day of recuperation, but I don’t think I was any worse for it. Although the last three miles, thankfully the flattest and easiest, my legs just didn’t want to go anymore.

I was rewarded for my efforts with a cold Dr. Pepper at the conservatory and then a restorative ride to the grocery store. I told Andy that he would be getting the groceries since there was no way my legs were getting out of the car. But, after the ten minutes of sitting and the healing powers of high fructose corn syrup Andy and I got the groceries together and went home to watch a movie and then go to bed at a ridiculously early hour.

Right now Andy is out watching a football game at PT’s pub and eating breakfast while I opted to hang out here in the quiet of Amanda’s new house and the puffiness of our new, somewhat silly, aqua La-z-boy recliner that a guy delivered to us yesterday. It was listed on Craigslist for $30. The description was good, but I thought the color didn’t sound great (it isn’t). I guess he really wanted it gone because he said he would drop it off for free in twenty minutes. How could I say no? Besides being slightly hideous, it’s one of the most comfortable chairs I’ve ever sat on.

Andy’s new sleeping bag should be here this week and we’re hoping to do our first overnight experiment with some of the new gear.
