Hiked a much longer hike (2.5hrs instead of 1.5) so it only makes sense that the calorie burn was much higher 1000+. Better scenery including a beautiful shot of Mt. Rainier.

Mt. Rainier from Silver Creek trail

Lots of time to visit, although my heart was pumping and I was panting like the dogs during one section of trail. Determined to keep active even when my schedule goes crazy in two weeks. One thing my sister admonished me to do was to find time for myself. Self-care is difficult, but necessary. I also need to be more assertive about delegating instead of doing it all myself. This will be a welcome challenge.
