Happy New Year!!  I headed out today to just let the run happen.  My knees have been bothering me lately so I wanted to take it easy and just enjoy.  We ran out through Lake Park and the view of the mountains is amazing.  The pond is completely frozen over and all the ducks and geese were out sitting on the ice.  I felt great the entire time.  I was shocked when I got back and my ave pace was 8:45 - my fastest of late.  I need to take it easy more often.

 

Happy Running!!

Wait to start out the new year, you are going to have a great one for sure. And I have been wondering, like many others, what marathon you are going to do this year???? no pressure:)

Marcie,

I would really like to run St. George but I am nervous about getting in. If not then I will run the Deseret News.

Whoa!! how do you do that? I might have to give that "let the run happen" approach a try! You are going to have an awesome year starting it out like that!!!

Well just put in and cross your fingers! If you do Des News then I would run it with you. ( I just wish it wasnt in the middle of the week) Does your mom have the cabin that week?
