We have been doing a considerable amount of praying...that we don't get frostbite, that we make it up that hill (without slipping on the ice!), or have enough steam to make it that last mile! Along with these cold temperatures, I look forward to my Sunday morning fellowship and without a doubt would not be nearly as productive if I were doing this alone. Believe me when I say that the cold seems to disappear a short way into the runs.
Today we met up for a run along Forbidden Drive...I wish I had my camera for the actual run, as we came across a beautiful scenery...even a covered bridge! It was simply gorgeous today! I had no idea what the temperature was (18 degrees) until I got there (after taking myself in the wrong direction twice). The run was mostly on some packed snow with a couple of really slick areas, but it surprisingly wasn't too difficult to run on. There were actually quite a few runners, walkers and bikers. We accomplished 6 miles...slightly slower than the usual pace...but still at a respectable clip.
I know Bruce is watching down on us, signs of such seem to present themselves on a semi-regular basis. And believe me when I say he is cheering us all on...in between his bouts of laughter! So strap on your Sunday best running shoes and that UnderArmour and join us...all are welcome!
May seems so far away, but it will be here in no time, along with some much better weather!
A couple of our supporters that were waiting for us at the finish.
Sunday's crew...great job ladies!
If you look closely, you will see the ice in Joanne's hair!
Proper leg positioning means a lot. Notice how fat the horses legs look w/out the seperation.
ReplyDeleteWell done.

I am proud of you! I was sad not to be there, but glad I could assist Karin in her quest to get out of Olney alive!
