Hi! I’m Laurie, I’ve loved being outdoors & in the mountains for years, but haven’t always lived near them, and now that I’m 43, I need to train formally to enjoy my time at altitude & reach my goals. I’m in Kentucky & work full time, shift work days/nights, & have 2 kids who are 9 & 5 years old. I had a tough year a few years ago after a concussion from a wakeboarding injury, with daily headaches for a year & taking meds that made me tired & had weight gain as a listed side effect. I’m off those meds & I am trying to use my time most efficiently because it takes a lot of time and effort to keep the train on the tracks at our house! So hopefully this group will add the accountability & efficiency that I need to train smart & summit Mt Rainier Aug 3-5 w AAI. Looking fwd to it.
