So ski season is winding down, I've skied more this winter than the past 4 previous winters. So now I'm sad its over. Also, I've put off a surgery I was scheduled for in February but begged the doc to put it off till then end of ski. So after I get back from spring break with my kids next week, I get to go under the knife again, and hope that yet again, I will recuperate 100%. I haven't been super excited to get really in shape right before this operation. I won't be running, lifting or doing sit ups for 4-5 weeks. The closing day at Sundance is april 7 but since I won't be there, my friends are having a special closing party for me up on Bearclaw. I will miss my ski pals. Skiing has been easier to figure out the hypoglycemia . Running is still tricky. I had to do a bunch of glucose tests to even determine if it is safe to operate. Sigh.

On an unrelated note, tonight when I was running, a carload of teenaged boys pulled along side of me with the windows down playing 'eye of the tiger" really loud. They made me laugh, so I gave the, the thumbs up. Love it, so funny.

Best wishes for a successful and speedy recovery for your upcoming surgery! You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

The teenage boys story puts a smile on my face! :)

I want that to happen to me! :) How fun.

I hope your surgery has been successful! I'm jealous of all your pics to Oregon. One of my favorite places!

Oregon was spectacular. It's the best place to run in the world. It always seems to be the perfect temperature (every time I've been in the past 10 years, my runs have been epic). I was too busy living it to blog about it. I'll have to go back so and try to fill in the blanks. The Oregon Coast is so very spectacular for running (flat hard sanded beaches, country roads, luscious dripping wet greenery, soft bark padded mountain trails above the coastline). Truly beautiful memories were made, running and otherwise. Oregon is simply a runner's paradise (though it can be windy and hard rain is tough for long runs I'd imagine in Winter). PS I've put off my surgery again, I couldn't bear it and so I put it off again until next week. My Doc is about to make me sign a waiver releasing him from negligence.....Hey, RAD good luck in Boston. Seriously don't stress it. Let yourself have this experience, own it, live it and be happy for what you've achieved. Come what may -- it's BOSTON! I'm so excited for you, and you'll be fine. What can go wrong if Smooth is around? Just sit back and be excited for the journey of race day. I'll be thinking of you guys!
