AM - Met Jordanne and Lisa at Lake Youngs for a lovely morning rainy muddy run.  Lots of hills.  Legs felt fairly heavy again, my shoes are so disgustingly muddy now!  Is it weird I'm sad about that?  I made Jordanne run 2 more miles after Lisa left and I think she was going to murder me.

Time to make more tutus?  At the Christmas races last weekend I decided I really wanted a tutu (after seeing some fabulous ones!), so last night I made a little one for Denali.  Keep in mind I have tons of chores (including wrapping presents) and data entry I should have been doing instead!
