Fall is Here!

Usually I dread the colder weather that starts this time of year. Even though I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life snow and ice are NOT my thing. I prefer the warm, sunny and humid (yes humid!) Wisconsin summers.  This year I am going to try to find at least one winter activity that I truly enjoy.  I need to get a better attitude about the cold somehow!

This weekend I definitely felt the shock of fall weather, but I had a really nice time with Tyler's family on their annual fall hike up to Levis Mound in Neillsville, Wisconsin.  We hiked for about a half hour at a leisurely pace to the top look out. We had a picnic lunch and took plenty of pictures before we made our way back down.  This is a fall activity I could absolutely do more often!

I would love to hear some suggestions for winter activities I should try! I'd really like to find something that can be low cost, and keep me warm enough so I don't turn into an ice cube!

The Tough Mudder!

This weekend I participated in my 3rd Tough Mudder in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

My first Tough Mudder was The Minnesota Mudder in May 2012.  I ran it with my not-quite-yet-boyfriend at the time Tyler.  It was a HUGE challenge, but at the same time so much fun.  There is no other place where you're going to experience such a camaraderie with people you have never met! The great thing about the Tough Mudder is how everyone works together to overcome the 12 miles filled with insane obstacles.
