Deep Terrain

Being that we have a lot to catch up on, lets get down to some business, we have all been busy and hopefully keeping up with our routines. July is a busy month for vacations and it's easy to loose sight of your long term goals. I am happy to say every ones progress is going great. The trips to the gym are getting more frequent and our runs are getting longer.
Last Thursday Daniel and I decided to go on a semi-long run aiming towards 7-8 miles around Fremont. It was a huge success and we ended up running over 9 miles! The distances just keep increasing and it feels great. The last few miles we really hard and we did struggle having to walk a few times for a break. Regardless, it felt great to say that we ran that far.
The Half marathon keeps getting more and more into our reach.
At this point it is all about continuing the hard work and staying healthy. Keep building a little bit each time and you will see big results.

Sunday we ventured in Azusa in Southern California to do a little Bungee Jumping for Daniels birthday. Lucky for us there was a 5 mile hike up and back in some pretty tough terrain. We crossed rivers, climbed rocks, uphill climbs and some serious heat. We tried to run a bit on the way back on parts of the trail that were safe enough. Nothing will make you more tired than a 10 mile round trip hike in the sun; but, it was beautiful. The hike was very tough mudder for sure.
A few pictures for your enjoyment.
