Rainbow Ridge Training

Part of the North West team named "Buff Babes" Well I don't know about that yet. I am working on it. Left to right, Julie, Linda and me:-)
Yesterday we went 2 miles up Rainbow Ridge. OHMGOSH!!! that is way so steep. I think about 6 years ago I hiked up there twice as far and had no problems. I smoked like a fiend back then too. This time I had to slow my pace quite a bit after about a mile up, then on the way back I was definitely bringing up the rear. It was really good, it showed me where my weak knees really need some help to make them strong. I need to work on lots of lunges and squats. Julie and I are going in her car down to San Francisco today for "Strong Voices" training put on by the Breast Cancer Fund. I think we are going to learn more about the environmental causes of the disease and how to present it better. That will be tomorrow morning, then we have another training hike, Urban style in the afternoon then we get to go to Connie's home for dinner she is the "Climb and Sponsorship Coordinator for BCF:-) Hopefully more pics:-) Then we will drive home Sunday morning. Possibly another training hike with Linda and Julie on The Mountain on Monday.
Yesterday I received a check in the mail from Betty, thankyou soooooo much for your support Betty:-)
