One great thing about living in Colorado is that everyone loves outdoor activities, so runner friends are everywhere! Today, Jami joined a few neighbors and some Junior League friends to run in the Greenland 8 Mile Trail Run. The weather forecast called for rain, but by some miracle instead we awoke to sunny skies, some chilly temps, and a brisk wind on the trail ... and by "trail" think of a covered wagon crossing the grasslands on a path with 2 narrow tracks. The first 5 miles of the race included a slight uphill climb facing a fierce wind. But the scenery of snow-covered Pikes Peak in the distance, the beautiful landscape, and a line of runners snaking through the grassy open space was amazing to see! For the final 3 miles of the race, we were running mostly downhill with the wind to our backs, so that was a good reward and smooth sailing to the finish line.
Junior Leaguers who run! Before the race, Jami found
Junior League friend Jess, who did the 25K race ... WOW!
Action shot! Jami ran a good portion of the race
with another Junior League friend Tricia.
Our fantastic group: Della, Heather, Jami, Kat & Tricia.
We all finished within 3 minutes of one another ... quite a feat!
