Trail Running Granny

Bootcamp and then 5 miles with Ardath on the BST. It felt like winter, 49 degrees!   BURRRR!!!

Just bootcamp!  I have a super busy day today!   

Happy Running or Happy Tapering!

I am going to miss Bootcamp SO much, only two more days.  Today was a tough workout, but laughed so hard with my niece and the class that my abs got an extra hard workout. I am hoping to sign up again after St. George and the Pony Express, maybe 2 days a week.  I have never in my life worked out so hard and enjoyed it so much. Once you have gone thru bootcamp you can always do the friday session at Hillcrest, so that is really awesome. 

After class I ran down to the Jordon River Parkway and walked with Julie and Ziggy for a while.  Legs felt good at my comfortable granny pace! 

Today was my last day of bootcamp, except for the Friday sessions which I will continue to do.  Bittersweet, I will love sleeping in alittle longer, but will miss the intense workouts and the people that trained me and my co-workout buddies. Next week I will start back up the the rec center and do my muscle-up classes and yoga. 

1 mile walk with Odee.

Beachers at Hillcrest today, okay this is my offical end of bootcamp.  Harold took a before picture of me 12 weeks ago and then one yesterday.  I was surprised at the results.  I could really see a differance. Even though it was only 6 pounds, I have lost quite a bit of fat and gained muscle. I am going to have Harold take another picture in 12 weeks and see if I can see a change while working out on my own, I think I have learned enough that I should be okay.  My nephew went thru hell week this week, he had to run outside  and puke, it was kind of funny because there is a salon next door and they were all watching.  He was flying up the bleachers today and passing me, I was pretty impressed. His wife said that he told her he  couldn't hold the baby because his arms were so stiff.  Funny.  

One more week until St. George. I can hardly wait!!!!! 

Did one of my favorite routes with Harold this morning, Harold rode his bike, it was nice, it made me push just alittle faster.  From my house to the Cottonbottom and past the Old Mill and up to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and and back home. I am feeling pretty darn good with the marathon being a week from today!! 

Looks like I am going to be doing the Misquite half marathon in Nov. with my girls ( they will do the 10K) and my friend Ardath and her sister from California.  My mom is coming too to be the cheerleader with Paul and Harold!!!  Fun times!!! I love to try new races!!!  That will mean I have done races now in Utah, Calif., Oregon, and now Nevada!!
