Vacation

Love, love, love summer vacation! This year, we get to go to the good ol' USA! Whoo hoo! I have two races planned, one with my super fast niece and one with my good friend. With my niece, I'll be running the Buffalo Stampede at the Air Force Base in Cheyenne, Wyoming and with my good friend, I'll be running a 5k in Denton, Texas.

During this vacation, I am thinking there will be a lot of hiking going on as well. My sis in Denver has quite a few planned. She's an avid mountain climber, she has climbed a few of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks. Needless to say, I am very proud of her. I hope she remembers that we are lame, sea level couch potatoes with just a few hikes under our belt.

Montana is also on the list, we'll visit the hubby's side of the family there. They like to hike as well, and I love hiking in Montana. It is so peaceful and there are so few people on the trails. Hiking when there are few people is a wonderful time for reflection and for chatting with my kids. (Talking with the kids also keeps them from complaining about hiking!)

Well, that's all for my first post! See you on the trails!
