New Paths and Friends





It's been so fun running this spring!  Met new friends to run with and love running with my good friend Selina.  Selina and her husband will be pacing me at the Bighorn 100 in July.  I'm excited for this race that has haunted me the past two attempts.

Can't believe my first race is already next month.  I have enjoyed the trails here and there are so many I have not explored.  The last few weeks have been a little muddy running and sometimes slick.  But doable for sure.  I think in a couple of weeks I should be able to make it to Mt. Baldy!  First race is end of May, called the Dirty Thirty just outside of Boulder.  I did it a few years back and it is so beautiful.  Megan is an awesome race director.  Kind of a funny story about the morning of the race.  My friend and Altra teammate Nick Clark was going to pick me up at the hotel around 4:30am.  So I went outside and here pulls up a car with a couple runners in it and I figure Nick sent them to get me. I mean it's 4 in the morning right? I forget what the name of the girl was that they were picking up but for some reason when they asked are you so and so I said yes!!!!  I still don't know why I said yes!  We left for the race and about 10 minutes later Nick calls and says where are you!?!  I said Oh my gosh(well maybe not that exactly) where are you?  Long story short the car I was in was supposed to pick up another girl at the same hotel and that girl was outside the hotel with Nick.  Luckily there was enough time and we switched cars and made it to the race.  That was pretty dumb of me and I know Nick will never let me live that one down.  Don't Get Into Cars with Strangers!!!!!  Duh!

Running a lot of mileage now. Snowed a lot recently so I ran alooooonnngg time on the treadmill Friday but was able to run yesterday on the trails. Miss all of my friends from Casper. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
