Training hike for Mt. Everest

Training can sometimes occur in unpredictable weather. Well, for my 25km hike tomorrow, the forecast is cold, rainy and light snow! But that is all part of the journey and I can not wait to tackle the infamous "Three Sisters" at Hockley Valley!

My next big Adventure!

This photo was taken after finishing the 100KM Oxfam Trailwalker this past July. My team mates and I completed the walk in 24hours and 27 minutes with no sleep!

The reason I am posting this photo now is that I am now starting to train for my next big adventure! Trekking to Base Camp of Mt. Everest in May of 2012!

You might be a runner if..........

People you meet in town know you as "that running girl"

You get incredibly offended when someone says they saw you "jogging"

Most people look at you strange when you use "easy" and "10" in the same sentence

You know the mileage on your sneakers better than on your car

You see someone running and try to guess their pace

You see someone running and are jealous that you are not.....even if you already went that day

You plan what & when you eat around when you will be running that day

You know which side of the streets have shade at certain times of the day

You search through local running results.....even if you didn't run any races that weekend

You wear each race t-shirt as a badge of honor

After you get done your run, you immediately start planning your next one

You giggle at the doctor's advice to "take some time off"

The doctor takes your blood pressure and says "you're a runner, huh?"

It doesn't scare you to drink from a cup that some stranger hands you in the middle of the road

You run through traffic without a care

You get as excited about a new pair of sneakers as others get about a new car

It took your spouse years and a talk with another spouse of a runner to finally understand that this is normal.....for runners

When you are not running......you are thinking about running

Throwing up after a hard run is a badge of honor

You get tired if you don't run

You nodded your head with a smile as you read this list!

Thank you to my good friend Jennifer Treacy for sending this to me!
