Went hiking to the Chimneys with Kate on Saturday and it was pretty fun. Kate was kind of hurting since she had an intense leg workout the other day, but she's always been a soldier and toughed it out anyway. We noticed we were getting a few odd looks. I suggested that they probably don't see too many "negroes" up here and sure enough, I was the only black person within a 20 mile radius...fun. I also suggested that they don't see too many "interracial couples" in these parts either. This really annoyed Kate and she started getting all Malcolm X on me. I just laughed and told her as long as they keep their little thoughts to themselves, don't worry about it.
About half way the trail, Kate was really starting to hurt so I did what any good friend would do: I left her ass behind! I couldn't help it, I was in the zone plus I was trying to break in my new boots. Eventually I made it to the top and about 15 minutes later, Kate finally decided to show up. She cursed herself for being out of shape and being sore from the workout, but I told her to shut the hell up. What's important is that she made it.
It was kind of funny seeing this pencil thin long haired, shirtless "nature dude" trying to impress Kate with his mountain prowess. She just pretty much blew him off and we enjoyed mocking him as he pranced around the rocks.
It was a pretty fun way to spend a Saturday and Kate has turned out to be a really cool chick. I can't believe I used to think she was a boring 'ol stick in the mud.
