Mt. Audubon


Today I hiked up Mt.Audubon with Leslie and her friends,elevation 13,300 ft. She is training for Pikes Peak Marathon which is in August. Leslie and her friend Andy jogged up and I tried to jog where I could and power walk the other parts. I went up a little too fast and got a massive headache and very dizzy from the altitude change. This pic is the top and you can see the weather was starting to get a little iffy so we couldn't hangout long. When you're above tree line and there's a chance of lightening, it best to get down asap. Near the bottom as we headed down the storm rolled in and there was thunder all around. I stated running to get down faster since I had a hiking pole that would be a great lightening rod. Great day ,great workout. I did wonder about the man we saw starting up the mt. with a big metal baby carrier on his back and a baby in it. People do some "funny" things.

FL to CO


Sean and I are doing our annual trip for the summer to Boulder where my family lives. We look forward to our trip each year. The only part we don't enjoy is the very long drive. We usually make it a 2 day trip to get there. This will be Dixie's first trip to CO. I think she'll be fine. Can't wait to get in some dry, cool air.

Sean will be racing the 5430 in Boulder. This pic is of Sean at the local "stroke and stride" training race whiich uses the same venue as the 5430 longcourse race.
