Happy New Year!  2007 was such a great year.  I have no idea how to top that one.  I guess we'll just see.

Who knew this surgery, so inconsequential to my overall health would be so hard to recover from.  I wonder if they cut tendons in my pelvis that they shouldn't have.

4 miles- on ice

I have been looking at this blog site since I met Sasha at our son's soccer games last fall.  For the past 4 years I've seen him and his kids, or his running posse along the river trail.  He runs like a superhero--looks straight ahead.  I'm always embarrassed when my dog wanders in front of him while he's doing 60mph.  So last fall, I spoke with him briefly asking if he was training for St. George.  He told me that not only was he training for St. George, he wanted to use his race to qualify for the olympic tryouts.  Hmmm.  He is a superhero I guess.  Then he asked me how fast I run--what was my best 5 k time. I told him I'd never run a 5 K, so I gave him my 10K times.  I explained that I run slow, but have been doing it for nearly 30 years,and that my goal is to continue running another 30 years.  Then he said that thinking that I run slowly is a sickness that must be cured by changing my thinking.  I think I could run faster, if I just WANTED to run faster.  But I don't.  My goal is to run and ski as many times as I can until I can't any more.  It's a longevity thing, not a race.  But, my experiences on the trail and running with friends has been extraordinary and I feel I should record them somewhere.  Sorry to Sasha, whose blog I will be using as a running journal instead of logging my times, etc.  But Hey, let's see who's still blogging here 20 years from now--it may not be the fastest runners who can still run.

Amanda is my newest running friend.  Since Catherine got knocked up just three weeks before St. George, I've been running on my own.  I love Amanda.  She will get up with me in the pitch of night to run on a solid block of ice for 4 miles.  You gotta love a girl like that.
