CITY OF ROCKS

Earlier in the week, I headed to the City of Rocks with part of the team. It was a chance to get out of town before the 4th of July rush started and add some variation to strength.

We slept hard under the stars, ran long in the morning and climbed until dark. I think we fed the neighborhood chipmunks about as much as we fed ourselves (a lot!) and probably each came home with a few new smile lines. Good times, good training and good company.



I did make that jump, just not on camera. Promise! After the city, we returned home to an uphill running time trial, know as Harpers. One of our coaches, Chris Mallory, took some video:



For Mallory's update on Harpers, as well as future goings-on with the ODT, check out our team page on faster skier, or our SVSEF site.

This morning was our first public hike (images below). We headed from Lake Creek to the top of Fox Creek with ideal weather in tow. Thanks to all who showed. We look forward to an even bigger group next time! As always, click on the images to see them full sized.

Laugh hard and live your dreams,
Kate





More public hikes to come - maybe even a winter ski or two. Check back for dates.
