What beautiful weather, and a beautiful run.  I ran into a friend on the road who mentioned a church running group that is training for a regional 5k next month.  I think I might just join in the fun! It is so nice to not have to bundle up to go running anymore.  Happy Spring!

P.S. I have to say I am so grateful for this blog and Sasha's expert advice.  I'm looking forward to what this year has in store. :)

In Baltimore!  Ben wanted to fly out for a conference, and it happened to coincide with our 10 year anniversary, so I came along with our youngest.  

 Ran 3 miles on a treadmill at the hotel.  Tried to go faster for a while to make it more interesting.  I did meet an elite athlete in the elevator afterward.  She had been running in the pool to avoid pounding on her joints.  It's just inspiring to meet people like that.

Enjoyed another treadmill run as much as I could.  I'd really prefer to run outside, but I like to get into my "zone" so I prefer not to have to dodge through people to run, so I chose the treadmilll again.

Didn't run, but wish I did.  Felt like sleeping forever to recover from the whirlwind trip.  I thought that it would be relaxing, and it was some, but still mucho trabajo with a teensy one on a plane for 4 hours, etc.  Things actually went really well considering.

We did enjoy some beautiful weather in Baltimore, and a trip out to the Washington DC temple to celebrate our 10th anniversary.  It's good to be home.

Happy Sabbath!

Went to church with our five bouncing boys.  Won't it be great someday to see them all run marathons and serve missions?

This course is really uphill both ways.  This is going to be so good for me!

Four days in a row!  I don't know how long it's been since I did that.  I feel like I am establishing the habit of getting up and running.  It feels very good.  My brain is even functioning better during the day!

I can also feel a mental shift from "I can't" to "I can" occurring.  

I used to be in the habit of feeling that I couldn't do certain things because I have lots of little ones, and I don't get much sleep.  I'm exercising faith and I'm enjoying what is happening! Here's to more of these great days!

I felt like the snow was just for me today.  For all those winter days I missed running, I got one more shot to enjoy it.  It was beautiful.
