I am Karen, I Iive near Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, friend and RN. I love to spend time with my family and friends, go for coffee, hike, snowshoe, travel, decorate my house, play scrabble... but just for me, I run.I started running on June 4, 1997 and since that date I have participated in 6 marathons, about 15 half marathons, and numerous 5 and 10 k's. I am always trying to challenge myself with running and on October 18, 2011 I thought that I should see how many days in a row I could run... that journey continues and so I decided to blog about it.
Okay one more photo from my getaway… Here is a pic of a grizzly bear, who is ~ 2years old, that we saw on our way home from dinner. As the story goes - he’s a twin and his mother died last summer after being hit by a train in Banff National Park. It was a surprise that the twins survived the winter, but apparently they went into hibernation and successfully re-emerged this spring.
Needless to say, when we ran or hiked our senses were heightened as the grizzlies are very hungry this time of year!!
