See Your Strength & Beauty Everest Run

For My Birthday,

I Had Decided that I Wanted to Get Up

and Run a Steep Hill that is

Affectionately called "Everest" Around these Parts.

I had Always Fancied it as Something Only the Crazy Runners were Up Doing,

but Since then, I have Run it, too.

It's Pretty Serious.

I Threw it Out to Any Friends,

Who wanted to Come with Me for

My Running Birthday Party.

So, with a Couple of Party Goers,

We Headed out Early

on a Chilly October Morning,

and

We Stormed that Hill.

See Your STRENGTH & BEAUTY Everest Run

{Me Far Right}

I LOVE this Picture!

Ryan had Gotten up Early,

and Met Us at the Top

with Oranges and Water,

[Treats for My Party Guests]

We Partied

(aka Took a Break)

and Looked Down at the Pre-Dawn City Lights Below Us.

Then we Bulleted Back Down.

Ryan again, Surprised Us,

with Smoothies and Crescents at the End of the Course.

He Truly Went out of His Way,

to Make this Fun for Me!

I Truly LOVED Doing This!

"It is a Shame for a [Woman] to Grow Old,

Without Ever Seeing the

STRENGTH & BEAUTY

of which Her Body is Capable."
