More evidence that I am a runner came today. I escaped for a couple days with my
husband. While he was in meetings
learning how to better do his job, I had free time on my hands in Teton
Village! I could have booked a pedicure.
We all know runners need pedicures! I could have shopped the shops or
ordered breakfast in and scheduled some other kind of pampering at the spa. I could have gone to Jackson Hole and spent
the day in those shops or stayed in my room to read a book. But I am a runner,
and so I ran three miles at 6300 feet!
Here is the evidence. Those would
be Teton Peaks in the background.

I need to work on selfies. I forgot to smile!
It was a brisk morning and the elevation is a killer, but here are some of the things I would have missed had I chosen a different activity.
A glimpse of the Tetons in the fall. My early years were
spent in view of these mountains and I still get a feeling of “belonging” when
I see them.
Check out those ski runs!
It won’t be long before they are covered in snow, the lifts are running,
and skiers are scattered about the mountain.
Did I mention that I am also a skier?
Look at those fall colors!
Yes, I am a runner and I know it, not because I can run a
six minute mile – I can’t. It’s because I run.
Whether I run because I am racing, staying sane, helping with a cross
country team, or killing time, it matters not.
What matters is – I run.
Do you run? If so,
then you are a runner, too.
What do you do that says, "I am runner?"
