out o shape

went for a short "hike" today with my old hiking buddy.

i'm flabulous on account of the bulking, and i haven't hiked in ages, and though i kept a steady pace without too much puffing and huffing, i'm clearly outa hiking shape (which isn't to say i won't outhike you and your grandma, because i will. even if i have to carry you and your grandma, unless your grandma is like really heavy and stuff and i'm not feeling well that day or haven't eaten yet and feel kinda woozy or something). now, one thing hasn't changed, we don't bring a map and we never really know how far we've hiked. i'd estimate 6 or 8 miles, but the hikeometer is uncalibrated these days and the bahiker description said 5 (we went for a weenie hike to avoid messing with my rest schedule. we'll see if it worked). afterwards, i were ahungered, and away we went to the chinese buffet. yum. kinda.
