Outdoor Diva Cedar Bourgeois
Cedar is a single mom of two children 5 and 8. She somehow finds time to make home cooked meals for her kids Zen and Coral, get them to school on time, and be the fastest female mountain runner in Alaska! She has won the last 4 mount marathon races, the hardest mountain running competition in the state. The race involves sprinting from downtown Seward Alaska to the base of the mountain and running to the peak at over 3200' and sprinting back down the steep slopes of at times 60 degrees. Check Seward chamber of commerce and click on mount marathon to see pictures of this beautiful strong woman. How she finds time to train is beyond me, as she also makes handmade cloth shoulder bags for sale to help support her family. She also managed to win the lost lake 16 mile trail run this year, won the bird ridge mountain race for the third time in a row and won the power line pass trail run. She truly is a Mountain Hardwear diva as she wears the finest high tech gear on the market on a daily basis to keep herself alive in all of Alaska's most demanding mountain running competitions. To prepare for these races she has to run almost every day up the mountains surrounding Seward Alaska, she has to avoid foraging bears (which she sees all the time), cross raging rivers and streams, avoid rock fall and avalanches (which are numerous) and somehow not slip off the cliffs she runs across. All to return home and make dinner for Zen and Coral! She has inspired an army of women and men to get in shape and follow their dreams no matter how far away they seem. It is truly awesome what this woman has achieved!! Plus she is wicked sexy and would look way hot in your ads, blond hair blue eyes and totally in shape! All her friends call her Martha Stewart due to her amazing cooking and sewing ability, she is quite a homemaker!
