I was a bad girl this week. Absolutely no running happened. I had a crazy busy weekend and after running with Run Colorado Saturday morning, tailgating all afternoon before the Kenny Chesney concert, getting home around 12:30am and then waking up at 5am to meet some of the MHTC to run Waterton Canyon Sunday morning I was drained. As much as I should have gone out running, taking some time to rest up from my hectic weekend sounded like a much better idea. Plus I knew I had a 4 day llama camping trip starting on Friday to look forward too.
For those of you who are unaware my dad owns llamas, yes llamas. And each year we try and go on a backpacking trip with them as a family. However this year my brother opted to go to Vegas to celebrate a friends 21st birthday, so I got to bring my man instead :).
I won’t bore you with details, rather I will just give you the main highlights:
I rolled my ankle twice (3 fewer times than last year), but the second one knocked me on my butt for a good while and was swollen for a few days after we got home. However instead of resting I was back to running the day after we got home
My favorite flowers were in bloom. Last year when we went camping we were a week too late and they had all dropped their flowers. But this year we camped in a field of them!
I happened upon a mountain goat as I was walking down the trail. It was so fluffy and soft looking. I just wanted to pet it.
We ate like royalty.
It rained… a lot.
Over 4 days we hiked approx. 20 + miles.
- And of course I repped Run Colorado!
