Introduction Text Hi there. Welcome to the page of a lifelong Yooper! What's a Yooper, you ask? Well, that would be the name of people from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I've lived up here my whole life and I love it. The pictures in my gallery will show you some of the reasons. Of course cabin fever during our particularly snowy winters is something to be avoided at all costs! I like to cross country ski, snowshoe, and just play outside with my dogs and/or nieces and nephews during our snowy season(s). You have to embrace the white stuff or it'll get the best of you.

Walk my first half marathon on May 20, 2007. Finished in 3:46:17!!! Yah! Complete Couch-to-5K running program. Finished 8/30/07!! Run first 5K - Done 9/22/07 (1:01:08 - the sweep told us to go the wrong way at a "T" in the trail so it was MUCH more than a 5K!) Ran 5K on April 26, 2008 - 47:29.7...ran the whole thing! Ran 5K on April 25, 2009 - 48:24...ran the whole thing in 40 degree rain!

Eat lower carb, lower calorie diet. Fit comfortably in my swimsuit for trip to Florida 2/19/10! EA Sports Active for Wii 3x/wk



I'm into typical "Yooper" stuff--hunting, fishing, camping, biking, hiking, snowshoeing, exploring--almost anything outside!
