Tim and Carter went on a backpacking trip in the Unitas so I ran on my home TM. I was a bit nervous as this was my longest run in 3 weeks. After 45 minutes, my hip started to warm up and felt alright. I kept everything slow. My thigh bruised up a lot after scraping it last night (Josse would be proud!!!). I'm hoping it helped.

Running a long run at home on a Saturday isn't ideal, but the miles were logged. Lots of kids interruptions.

We went up to Sniagrab and I got a new pair of skies and boots for super cheap! I'm thinking about getting a season pass to Sundance...then I can snowshoe and downhill ski. There was even a Karen sighting!!!

Glad to hear the hip is feeling better and better! :) :) :)

TM long runs are TOUGH. Way to get'er done! :)

Sniagrab is where I got my new skies and boots too! I can't believe it's time to think about ski passes already. Larry used to check out all the ski resort passes and bought them by Halloween. We like Solitude a lot. Love that you got a Karen sighting. :)
