Happy Leap Year Day!!!  I didn't run yesterday due to a horrible sinus head ache, but decided to still do my long mid week run tonight.  I started pretty sluggish, but by the end, I felt really strong.  Heres to hoping my sinuses start liking me again.

So, There was a marathon that ran THROUGH my neighborhood and I didn't know about it until it was started!  Can you believe that?!?!  Seriously, how did I not know?????  (In my defense, it was the 1st year, but still!!!)  Why do I have emails with racing events come to my inbox if they aren't going to tell me when there is a race so close I can actually cheer on the runners without going anywhere? 

Anyhow, I still ran my 16 miles, even though there was a marathon going on.  I did Usery's Pass, Bush Highway, Coons Bluff (up and back) and Phon D Sutton.  And it felt good.  There was some serious head wind on the way up Usery's Pass, but it didn't get the best of me.  I even sprinted to the finish.  And, I only stopped twice.  Once for the light at mile 1... and once at mile 12.5 to kiss Melanie's finger because apparently she got some cacti in her finger while hiking (the family was hiking Coon's Bluff while I was running... The girls really enjoy it!)

Good times.  Only 7 weeks until my marathon (one that doesn't go through my neighborhood... and that I have to go out of town to get to... can you tell I'm a little bummed by this discovery.  Next year!  Next Year)  I honestly think I am in good enough shape, I could have ran that last Saturday.  I mean, the only uphill in the race was actually going through my neighborhood, and I clearly know how to handle that.  sigh. o-well.
