best. summer. ever.
i have been truckin’ along getting into my trail running groove, towing hubby along, happily, to my weekly training runs with john, paula, jody, christine, carol… on saturday morning (aug 18), i will embark on my final 5 peaks race: nakiska/delta, 12km. i know i can “muscle through it” – and i fully expect to want to die. this is totally ok with me. it’s my last one. go big or go home, right?
hubby has also been causin’ trouble on the trails. the week of july 23, he and his buddy discussed the bussey’s doing the canadian death race in 2013. on thursday, july 25, the north face’s 2012 death race team announced they needed runners due to injuries/sickness. on aug 3, we drove to grand cache. amazingness ensued:
- ‘Nuff said…
- The very important Death Race coin
- If you saw the DR coin, you’ll get it…
- Jamie’s view from the race!
- Another view in the race…
- And the fun finally begins!
- This is why we run on trails
- Hubby comes into the finish chute! Only to wait another couple minutes to officially “clock in”
