Trail Running Granny

I did 3 miles at my class this morning, and then 3 miles with Ardath.  We hiked from Lower Big Water to the intersection of the Great Western Trail and the Dog Lake trail.  We ran into the Skyline Cross Country team. 

Oh, and we did upper body in class today.

Bootcamp kicked it up a notch, I didn't think it was possible.  I did 72 burpies and a zillion other exersizes.   I hope I can hold my arms up to cut hair today. 

I am taking Odee over to the Old Mill Res. for a walk.

I was supposed to run with Gary, but I guess he isn't coming.  I am not motivated to get out there on my own this morning.  I was lucky I made it thru bootcamp, my arms were so sore I almost skipped out on class this morning, I am glad I made it, but I am really tired and think I will take the rest of the day off.  Actually I think I will crawl back into bed for awhile.

I met Maurine for a hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon, the hike killed me, I am in a fragile state with all this bootcamp crap.  Maurine was kind enough to hike with me for 2 miles and then she took off. It was nice to visit.  It was killer hot!

Last night Harold gave me an excellent massage, he worked my arms and back over like a skilled professional, I woke up feeling so much better. I actually did pretty good at bootcamp. It is my 8th day, and I can feel alittle muscle building in my arms.  It is working! 

Kim and I hiked up to Catherine's Pass and then up to Sunset Peak.  The wildflowers are in full bloom, it was a spectacular morning. Then Fish Tacos at Lone Star.  Now a nap.  Paradise. I love my life.

Bootcamp was at Hillcrest High. It sure was nice not wearing a 30lb. vest today.  I gave myself 4 miles for an hour of running the stadium.  My stiffness is all gone, for now, I am sure next week will be tough as well, but hopefully  the worst is behind me.

A year ago today Paul had his rugby accident. His progress is slow but steady.  On this day, I am so grateful for family and so proud of my daughter for her love and devotion to Paul.

Harold and  I met Steve Horstmanhoff, Steve and Sharon Clark and John and Kim Stucki in the parking lot at Einsteins on 3900S. and carpooled up to Gaurdmans, we met at  6:30 but had to futz around with things and didn't get off until just after 7:00, we saw the Wasatch Crest Shuttle loading up and new we were cutting it close.  Sharon and I were the only runners, we took off and everyone else caught up with us about 4 miles into our run, and then we played leap frog.  Beautiful day, but next time, we will go WAY earlier.    Harold and I have done it at  5:00am and used flash lights going up Puke Hill and then watching the sun come up and run without all the bike traffic.  It was freaking Grand Central Station up there.  It was still a fun time and can't wait to get back up there again!!!!!  This is my favorite trail run ever!!!!

Woohoo!  I just noticed I have made 40 miles for my last three weeks!!
