Whatcha eating today VSGers? Sunday, October 29

After yesterday's 8 mile pre-dawn walk (and 1,000 km milestone), I decided to kick it up a notch this morning, grabbed my flashlight and hiked the entire Shaw Butte trail in north Phoenix. 10 km, 800 vertical feet ascended, 2,000 calories burned, and 3 hours later, I feel great!

There are seven peaks around Phoenix and now I've done 2.5 of them. My goal by February 2018 is to do them all, and then by April 2018 do them all in a row in a seven-week stretch. Eventually the long term goal is to hike down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and stay at Phantom Ranch, but that's a ways off... gotta get the spouse in shape and on board for that.

Job interview tomorrow at work. I'm nearly a shoe-in since it's exactly the core functions I do now but at a higher level, and with all the extraneous miscellaneous garbage pulled out. Plus I'd spend lots of time doing adult coloring (PowerPoint presentations). And... the hiring VP wants me in the position (always helps, LOL). Would be two grades higher and about a 15-20% raise in salary. Go me!

Pics from the hike!

That's awesome on the hiking. We live in Phoenix too. My hubs and I were both sleeved by Dr. Reynoso. My husband likes to hike and also wants to do the Grand Canyon hike. My FIL is part owner in an out door activity company in Scottsdale and runs the guided tours to the falls, etc. Good luck on your interview tomorrow.

Reynoso was my surgeon, too. He is an awesome guy!
