About Us
- HappyTrails
- Steve and Kathleen, Colorado Springs, CO
- We love trail running and biking in the mountains of Colorado and the desert Southwest. We enjoy spending time together, seeing new places, and meeting people who enjoy the outdoors like we do! We were thrown a little bit of a curve ball in March 2011 when Kathleen was diagnosed with Graves Disease, an auto-immune thyroid disorder. After trying to treat the disease with an anti-thyroid drug for a year and not achieving the results we had hoped for, she had radio-active iodine treatment (RAI) in February 2012 and is now in "wait and see" mode. We hope to have her back up and heading toward normal function some time during the summer of 2012 and back to true Happy Trailing. It has caused a little change of pace (slower) and a bit of a temporary life 'detour'. This is new and unexpected territory so the journey should be interesting, challenging, and hopefully still fun! 'To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.' Ecclesiastes 3:1

I am once again jealous. This time it's of those long sleeves that I see you guys wearing. I am sure by Jan. I will no longer be jealous of the weather that you have.
We had gray today...we all loved it! It is terriffic running weather, right! Looks like you both had fun today, happy running!
The rock on the trails looks like a jolt to jour joints. Yet running with jackets and layers? Again, I think the inside of my frige is the only thing close to your AM temps. Jealous, altough tomorrow I might be able to sleep in some and still have cool (Vegas temps) at 6:AM. Keep Kickin! Thanks.
It was 48 degrees and only made it to 53 for the day. More of the same, as you'll see when I get around to posting some pics! You'll have to look at our winter pics, if only out of morbid curiosity!!
Trail running is actually better overall for your muscles and joints because you build more stabilizing strength. The rocks are a blast!!!

Looks like the rehab is working. Nice pics as always, and those looked like a little more technical trails. We did the Turkey and Taturs 50K today, and Jason, Lisa, and I are now 5-star Maniacs! :)
Oh, and Dana says Hi!!
