So after the Men of JP's thread a few weeks back it was requested a Women of JP thread be started. Today's the day.
We really have a great group of women in this community. They're smart, funny, strong - some are real strong. They show great dedication to their fitness, their families and this forum.
So on to the pictures. Gentlemen, these are our friends, so behave yourselves. Remember, I have the delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

OK, that's what I have for now. A couple of the ladies haven't been back to me yet so I'm hoping they will to add to this. And this thread is open so if you want to introduce yourself and post a pic by all means do so.
Thanks everyone for putting up with me through this and joining in. I really appreciate it.

Deserve-Yup that be the place! We LOVE that trail. That picture was last Christmas morning when we shared the summit with each other and one beautiful soaring bald eagle. The other was at camp the night before my first Rugged Man triathlon...that's right...I'm so rugged I camped the night before, ugh.
ODB's response to the submission of these photos? "Man I need to take more pics of you dressed up"
Dang Joe, how'd you beat me here?
