"A" Mountain is a Pain....In My..

....legs. We hiked up "A" mountain yesterday and I deserve a gold medal or a gold star for going all the way to the top. Once upon a time, I heard that 'someone's-sisters'-cousins'-best friend' runs all the way up each morning at dawn. Thinking this was a small feat, I decided to walk up the mountain...bad idea. 1/4th of the way up I told Keem to leave me with a bottle of water and send a helicopter, but he coaxed me to keep going.

What really got on my nerves was the younger boy briskly walking up the 70 degree slope talking on his cellphone the entire way up, NON-STOP! (Jealous? -Yes)

As I was huffing away I almost forgot to take in the beautiful view of Tempe.

Luckily Keem didn't bring his camera to document me in an unsightly mess.
