A Running Doc’s Life: Time for a Break!

Sarah and I spent last week out in the Black Hills for a vacation. We stayed out in a cabin in Hill City. It was so much fun, and the scenery was incredible. I took so many pictures I could not keep track of them all. We got to experience the Badlands at both Sunset Friday night, and Sunrise Saturday Morning. Wow!

We did the Crazy Horse Volksmarch on Sunday and met up with Tom and Sue for the day. What a blast!

The hike up and back was a little over 5 miles. We then took off and drove through Custer State Park. Then the adventures continued for us after that. We went hiking every day: Bear Butte in Sturgis; Spearfish Canyon; Hill City; Mount Rushmore; and Black Elk Peak (formerly Harney Peak). The fog was rolling in later that morning, and by the time we got to the top, the pictures and view were amazing. About 30 minutes later the fog was so thick you could not see anything anymore from the top.

We went hiking every day! The colors were absolutely incredible. Every day we covered anywhere from 8-12 miles a day. What a great get away!

With trying to hit the Badlands at sunset and sunrise, we stayed Friday night in Wall. Of course, if you go to Wall, you have to go to Wall Drug! I was just posing with other celebrities while I was there!

It was time for a getaway. We got to do what we love to do. I got to take a ton of pictures. And Sarah and I got to spend some time together!

Remember, we all need to take a break from the hectic schedule of life! Do what you love to do! Get outside while we still can. Winter is just around the corner, and we have all been spending too much time inside. Get out and go! Keep moving everybody!
