I ran nice and easy through the snow, slush, and ice.  My hip is thanking me for showing it some love.  I don't feel quite so achy tonight.

Yesterday and Saturday I couldn't get my right shoe to feel normal.  It kept rubbing and hurting the outside of my foot, just below the ankle.  Thankfully, today my shoe felt normal again.  Another plus was my feet didn't get as wet today.  However, there was a layer of snow frozen on the top of my shoes.  Maybe it was a protective frozen shield that helped my feet keep dry.

24 degrees.  Wind chill 9 degrees.  Lots of wind today.  I am grateful the sun was shining.

Hey, you certainly are one of the WOWs. Have you given any thought to signing up for the St.George marathon this year? There will be a ton of bloggers there, plus a blogger party, best marathon in the country. I know, its quite a trip, only 1 and 1/2 hour drive from Vegas.

Well, you must be about the most positive person I've ever met. The ICE on your shoes helped keep your feet dry!? You are amazing.

Glad your hip is feeling better!
