Trail Running Granny

Bootcamp was an upper body work out today.

Did a 6 mile hike with Ardath on the Desolation trail.  It was a nice hike to start out the week.

I just got back from Bootcamp, I am not sure  if I am going to run or not.

Bootcamp and then 6 miles with Julie.  I did speed work today.  My garmin is busted, so I have no idea how fast I was, but I was booking it granny style!!!  hahaha!!

It's almost Friday and  then the long weekend.  We are going to Torrey, the happiest place on earth! :)  I will have 3 of my 4 kids, yippee!!! Slot canyons, arches and family fun!

I forgot to set my alarm and woke up 10 minutes before bootcamp.  If you are late, you have to do 10 push-ups for every minute you are late, I opted to play hookie.  I am into this 8 weeks now and this is my first sluff, not bad.  It felt good to sleep in.

My run with Julie was also canceled due to Paul having 2 seizures last night, Julie didn't dare leave him, so I opted out of that as well.  It is kind of nice to have  a day off. I took Julie down my juicer and a bunch of carrots and apples, she is going to try and get Paul off of processed foods, since his stroke he has lost his appetite and wants a lot of junk food, we think a healthier diet will help, even if  he is not excited about it, he is at Julie's mercy and I think she is going to insist he eats better.  

As a side note, I am down 5 pounds from bootcamp, and  down one dress size.  I feel alot stronger and  am really pleased with the results.  I have  4 weeks to go.  I am hoping for another 5 pounds now that my nutrition is on the right path.  That will have me at a decent weight for St. George. 

Have a great long weekend, and good luck on all your races and your time off!

Bootcamp at Hillcrest. Love those bleachers!  I am now running up them skipping a stair at a time and feeling like Rocky!!!!!!   My instructor had me tell of my experience at bootcamp to all the new and old classmates.  I shared about how I ran the Ogden Marathon and  how all my joints and my whole body hurt, and then did bootcamp and ran Park City and it was painless, no stiffness or soreness at all!  Bootcamp has really made a huge differance in my fitness level. I also told them that the first six week course I didn't drop a pound, but I am in the 3rd week of my second session and I am following the nutrition plan have dropped 5 pounds.  I have really enjoyed this exprience and have learned so so much!!!  I am a believer in Bootcamp!!!

Now I have to pack up and head south to Torrey!!!!  Have a great weekend.  Good luck Smooth on  the SF 1/2 and everyone else who is running!!!!!!!

Harold and I and our friends Ernie and Gary hiked Spooky and Peekaboo just outside of Escalante.  Spooky was amazing, it was a 1/2 mile of a very narrow slot canyon.  I just about had a panic attack in the middle of it, but Harold talked me through it.  The sky was alittle threatening and I had visions of a flash flood.  We also hiked Peekaboo. It was probably most interesting hike I have ever done.  It was a perfect weekend.
