Never take my gifts for granted Personal: I'm 28 years old, originally from new england and now living in Evanston, Wyoming. Ran competitively up through college and then did nothing for about 6 years. Didn't like what I saw in some of my wedding/honeymoon pictures (of myself at least :) ) and make a commitment to start running regularly again just over a year ago. It's been a tough road - especially making the jump from sea level to ~7000 ft, but I'm looking forward to see how much of my college speed/endurance I can regain! Favorite Blogs: |

| Easy 30 minutes on the treadmill since it decided to go ahead and be in the mid-teens in wyoming this morning. Just getting over a nasty chest cold and can finally walk across a room without hacking up a lung. Running is still another story....
Flying back to new england tomorrow for spring break, so at least I'll have some nice sea level oxygen to work with!

| Some glorious sea level miles on a pretty rail trail in western mass. Felt pretty great for having spent a week plus hacking up most of my internal organs.

| Only had time for a quick run before we had to check out....did a short out n' back along the Charles River and later crashed the Boston Marathon Expo. Great stuff and got to hear from notables such as Bart Yasso, race director Dave McGillvary and the Hoyts. I can only tolerate being wall-to-wall with people for so long though, thus we made it brief.
Also did ~4 miles of walking around the city in the afternoon.

| 'Easy' run in bear river. First run back at 7000ft is always kind of rude regardless. I'll still be ready to chase cookies this weekend.
In other news, Meb effing Keflezighi, ladies and gentlemen!

| Relegated to the treadmill for as much as I could tolerate, as it was super windy out even by Wyoming standards. Normally that doesn't bother me when it's warmer out, but sometimes one has to draw the line when dust and branches and cows are flying around. Getting impaled isn't super high on my bucket list. On the bright side, the Bruins always seem to play well when I'm watching on the treadmill!

| Quick loop on the dirt trails at Bear River. So nice back there now that the snow/mud is gone. Wishfully hoping that it will stay that way.
Ready to chase some cookies tomorrow!!

| Pretty pleased with the time today, especially considering my fitness and that my head was encased in a giant ball of fuzz. Fortunately it was rainycold, but I still felt pretty hotheaded by the end. The course came out a little short on the GPS, so probably converts to like a 23:40. No cookies to chase today unfortunately, so I probably became the de facto target for most people. Nonetheless, we were pretty scattered up front and I ran most of the race by myself. Fairly nondescript course that was a loopy type thing through a residential area. Slight downhill at the beginning and slight uphill at the end - the sort where you don't really notice the early downhill but definitely notice the late uphill.
Managed to take first in my age group, but the awards ceremony took FOR-EV-ERRRRRRRRRRRR due to multiple races and lots of age groups (I'm all about giving out fun stuff to the kiddos, but is it really necessary to have a '4 and under' age group in a 5k?). I kept warm by jogging around on the grassy field. Ended up getting a neat little plaque and of course GIRL SCOUT COOKIES, which was well worth the wait. Definitely a well-run and family-friendly event. You can always count on the girl scouts to get 'er done!
No more races currently planned until the Yellowstone Half in mid June, so a nice little window to get some miles in just as the weather is warming up and the school year is winding down.
It's also worth noting that my two fastest 5ks since picking up running again have both come in costume. Perhaps I should make this a regular habit.
