Adventures of Jackson!

This weekend a group of friends and I went up to Jackson Hole. We were prepped with lots of sunscreen and bug spray! Of which all went to waste! What we should have been prepared with was water resistant spray, parkas, hoodies, pocket warmers, goulashes and hot cocoa. My bad, for some reason I thought it was JUNE?!?! We literally were wringing our clothes out and had to take sleeping bags to the laundromat to dry!

The best was floating the river! We started out waking up in puddles and heading down the river in a storm. I'm sure people looking down from the road above were thinking "What morons! Who would float the river in this weather?!" Well, we did and it was a BLAST! We may have all been in a state of hypothermia but it's all about the experience!

Wasatch Back! Woot!

'What am I doing?' Is the question that has come to my mind most often lately. I have always loved to run but when I think of going running I usually go about four miles or so. Well, the other day I was talking to a friend who works for the Sports Plex and the conversation of the Wasatch back came up. It's always been something I've wanted to do and lets just say I spoke to soon! Sure enough I was blind sided by the question of whether I wanted to run it with his team. "YEAH!" I responded, "When is it?" Brody said "Well it's coming up soon, the 19th and 20th of June!" Yikes, I now only have about two weeks to train!

I ran about 9 miles the other day and felt pretty good afterwards. I run really slow so thank goodness my team says they aren't in it to win!

All together my legs add up to be between 16 to 19 miles. Wish me luck! :)
