MISSION PEAK ON A FOGGY,COLD FALL MORNING.
Catra & Julia having fun!!!!
My first Fall Newt sighting, and boy is he cute just a little baby. I hope he makes it safely to where he's heading. Good luck little guy.
Julia's turn around point. She's a Mom and a wife and sometimes she has things to do, so she can't play all day with me :(
Feels good to be back up to running 20 miles again. I felt great. I'm on day#6 of the master cleanse and felt pleanty of energy on my run. What a beautiful Fall day. Have a beautiful day friends.

Hi Jon-
Thanks he was so cute. I simpley asked him to give me his best look and to work it:)
Yeah, when you come to visit we can run and you can tell me your story. Should we run 50 or will I need to run 100 miles with U to hear your story.

Lookin' good Catra! Glad to hear you're feeling better and better, and back to running in the great outdoors. Thanks for being so honest about your resurfacing and plastic surgery. You are one courageous, honest person.

Keep it up girl!

Wow, he really is cute! What a great shot. I didn't realize Mission peak was socked in yesterday morning. Looking at you guys, I could feel the cold though. Brrrrrrrr.

Catra... great pic of the newt... much more photogenic than that asshole "Newt" Gingrich. More info on the L'Oreal sunscreen... you can't hang out in the fog forever, although that looked like a cool hike. You run.. I hike. Anyway, you can get product info at www.ombrelle.ca , and purchase on-line from www.canpharm.com , it's still not available in the USA, only from Canada. I just re-upped my supplies, as even during the non-summer months, you can still do skin damage. Keep up the good work on your blog... I find your "words of wisdom" that you share each day... sometimes inspire... sometimes lead to questions... sometimes, just bring a smile. Take care... "Sunscreen Steve"

Hi Caren-
Thank you so much.
I know most people wouldn't talk about, or show people what they look like, going through something like the co2 laser resurfacing.
I figure so many people read my blog someone out there might be thinking about doing it.
I like being honest I know some people don't like it but oh well.
have an awesome day.

Jo Lynn-
If you only looked up you would of seen, but you were a very busy girl pulling off a wonderful party for your wonderful Mom. What an amazing person you are. I'm sure your Mom had fun.

XOXO,
Catra

Hey Catra,

I was wondering if you could send me a quick story of your life coming from you past life to Ultra Running and the things that you have accomplished. I am a Middle School Band Director/Ultra Runner and Massage Therapist in Houston, TX area. It is drug free week at our school and I like to share your story with my classes. Thanks! My email is posted at the bottom of the page.
