What a Weekend!

 Actually my weekend wasn't that exciting. Ha! Psych! Sorry. I did go to Antelope Island though. Which for those that are not familiar with this island it is in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. They have loads of trails and you can get int he water if you wish...its really salty...hence the name Great Salt Lake. Now I was dog sitting this weekend and so I decided to take him with me. He however was not allowed on a lot of the trails. That was sure awesome. But we did hike Buffalo Point...it was only .41 miles one way. Lame. But we were hiking back down and it had been cloudy and stormy well we are going down and I feel the hairs on my arm stand up and I think ut oh! No bueno so I have us start to run. Right when we did a huge flash of lightening hit over head followed immediately with thunder. Needless to say I got great exercise running down the mountain. Considering I was the tallest thing up there I opted to not chance getting struck by lightening. Got some great pics though. :D Now for those of you that don't know me I am scared of cows. Yup you read right scared of cows. So Antelope Island is home to over 700 buffalo and they have had buffalo since 1893. (yes I stopped and read every information sign...I'm a nerd) So seeing buffalo was a little unnerving especially since they are much bigger than cows. But I got pictures of ones close to my car AND I even got out and took one outside of my car! Whoa! Needless to say it wasn't an ubber exercisy day but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I have big plans to go for a run today with the heart monitor. Which I still love by the way. :) Eating hasn't been too terrible but I need to work on it. Mostly portions. I want to lose almost 30 pounds by the end of October. I can do that right? Sure I can! Anyway, here are some photos for you all.





He was my hiking buddy! Thanks Sammy!
