Marley and I had another great 3 mile trail run. It was pretty warm, but the trail was still frozen solid.

I've been MIA for a couple days. I finished my HM pushing a stroller in 2:12:10 which I was really pleased with. I'll try to get a few pics up soon. A lot of my local friends did Delano 12 hour yesterday, so I'll be looking for some reports. It's on a 1 mile loop, and they also offer a relay option, or 50 mile option I believe. I have been wanting to participate in this for a few years, but think I would like to start as part of a relay team. Not quite ready to run for that long by my self. Today is back to work, so no running.

The top one has to be my favorite picture from yesterday. If you have never pushed a special needs child, you really should, it will touch your heart like nothing else. Hank couldn't speak to me and Amy, but he could answer yes/no questions, so we were able to ask him if he wanted something to drink going through the aid stations. His Dad and personal assistant were able to strap him into his walker, and he was able to move himself, with a little help from us through the finish line.

For the first time in months, I'm planning on my run for the evening time versus the morning today. Spent yesterday in the mountains, so legs are a little beat up...I could use the afternoon relaxing. Plus, I have a new hour tonight to work with. Will get in a 2 hour run tonight.

As mentioned, spent yesterday playing in the hills. About 10 miles and 4000' of gain. Not really "running", but its the reason "why" I run!

Got in 6.3 miles last night. I think today, even though it is 45° and beautiful out will be URD. I'm thinking all the snow running is hurting my groin.

Mt Warden and DerekF nice pictures, looks like a great time!

Hogforlife, nice half marathon, i'm glad you had such a good time pushing that young man!

Did 10 miles on the mountain yesterday. Driving into the parking area was sketchy due to the amount of snow. Ended up running on a state forest road. So many ruts and holes that it was like running on a moderately technical trail. I tried some of the side trails but it was impossible to do more then wade through the 2-3 feet of snow so I gave up on that pretty quickly.  Hope they melt down quickly, I was planning on using those trails for hill training for Hyner. Calves and ankles are quite sore today.

Heading out for 7-9 miles on the dirt roads around the house this afternoon. Temps are up into the 40s with plenty of sunshine .

Hog - Great job!!!

Derek -  Looks like fun.

16 miles after work on bike path and snow-covered trails. Now my legs are shot. The ankle-deep, wet, heavy snow was very slippery, and it was just exhausting. The few clear patches on the bike path were a very welcome relieve.

DD ran 3 miles with me, and then I just kept going, all excited about the sunshine and the mild temperatures. Very pleasant and fun.

Hog: Great race, and congratulations to the little guy. It is very touching to see him walk on his own across the finish line, and it must have been a wonderful experience for him and his family.

Derek, warden: wonderful pictures!

Sandy: Keep babying that calf, hopefully it will get better soon.

Anyone planning on taking advantage of the full moon these days?

After reading all of your posts I am almost ashamed to write of my meagre run today. I went to the state park to run 7, learned I needed to be home sooner than I thought so I decided to do the 5 mile loop. It has not had much traffic, the snow was deep and wet/heavy. I slogged, and ran and hiked and struggled.  But...the weather was so nice! It was about 40 degrees and I ran most of it in tights and a tank top. The coldest part of me were my lower legs. I should have worn my visitors.

Warden, Derek and Hog....great pics!

You all have put in great miles this weekend and had great adventures! Such an inspiration. AT, great miles yesterday! I am hoping to get my ass back in gear so myvruns can be post-worthy.
