12 miles, no running

Well, I can't say I was a fast girl this weekend, but I still feel pretty tough. My husband and I went to Glacier National Park and hiked up to Grinnel Glacier on the east side. It was a pretty hard hike, 6 miles up and 6 back, but so worth it when we went over that last ridge to see a huge glacial lake with giant chunks of ice floating in it...in August no less. I couldn't keep my foot in for more than 10 seconds, that's how cold it was. We actually touched a glacier! The descent was pretty painful on the old knees and our feet were extremely sore, but it was too incredible to even complain.

On the way up we saw these three people who must have been in their late 70s hiking down and I thought, man I want to be in that kind of shape when I'm that age. It was extremely motivating to keep exercising.
