Trail Running Granny

Wow! It is spring finally! I started running from my house and ran to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon, 3 miles on road and 2 miles on trails. When I got to the big road condition sign I saw another runner, and I asked him if he had just gotten off the Little Cottonwood trail and he said yes and that it was clear of snow so I decided to give it a try. It was completely dry to the first bridge and then only about 30% clear to the second bridge. I was trudging in almost a foot of snow, so I turned around at that point. I had to smother myself in sunscreen it was so warm. FABULOUS!

I just did a yoga class! 

Maurine and Gary and I are doing an 18 miler on the parkway if anyone is interested. 7:00 am at the Winchester parking lot.  Love to see you there!

I retired from Snowbird today, I have been a massage therapist at the Cliff Spa for over 15 years and today I finished my last winter season and will not go back up next year! Woo Hoo! Now I can run whenever I want and be a princess and play all day!!! ( I wish)

I celebrated by doing a route I have thought about doing for years, and it was fabulous, it will be a regular now. I run up to the Road Condition sign at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and then turn right and go down to Wasatch Blvd., past LaCai and down Danish Road and home. It is about 5 miles up hill and then a nice 5 miles down. It couldn't have been a more beautiful day!!!

Just Muscle up today!

Have a great day!!!

Got up at 5:30 this morning to go meet Maurine and Twilight for a walk at Wheeler Farm, had fun chatting until stupid Odee jumped in the swift river and start stalking a duck, he was fighting the current and being a turd, we hollered at him for about 15 minutes before he would get out. He is grounded from our run tomorrow.

Came home and ran around the park.

I am pooped!!!  Met Gary and Maurine at the JRP,  we had a great time talking, I felt achy in my legs and joints from the start thru the finish. I need to get in better shape.  By mile 16 I was dead and told the others to go ahead with out me, both Gary and Maurine felt strong and zipped away.  I walked my sorry butt back to the car.  I feel like I have run a marathon, ouch!  Now off to a wedding shower, I will try and be perky,but I feel like climbing into bed for the rest of the day.  I was glad to have Gary and Maurine's company, I just would never have made it. Thanks guys! Gary just moved here from Long Beach, he has run 3 ultras with me, I am hoping to get him on the blog, he is a great guy.
