I have not posted in awhile, I have been lucky enough to go with Shawn on some trips, we went to Nashville, Seattle, and Palm Springs. Of the 3 Palm Springs was definitely my favorite!! The weather was spectacular to say the least!
Running in Nashville was not much fun, I had to run on a treadmill and I just loooove that so much, NOT.
But I stayed on course and got it done. I will post more pictures and more detail on our family blog!
Seattle was actually very beautiful, the sun was shining and no rain, but again treadmill running:(
Now to my favorite, Palm Springs. The consignor(sp?) sent me to the mountains for a trail that he told me was very popular
If you can see at the base are lots of rocks, yes it is a mountain trail all right. I started up thinking it was pretty rough, the higher I climbed the more I realized that this was not a running trail but indeed a hiking trail, I had gone about 250 yards when I turned to look back and caught a glimpse of the trail I would now need to go down.......bad move. I am scared to death of heights and I was high. I sat there for a few minutes wondering how I was going to get down, I had not taken my phone so I couldn't call for help, it is Palm Springs the average age is 70 I think so who could come and carry me down??? I proceeded to shimmy my way back down the trail trying not to look down and also avoid the lizards that had come out to enjoy my little adventure!! Needless to say by the time I got down I was full of anxiety and really ready to run! So I started going down the street, the weather was perfect, the sidewalk flat, and no lizards!! I ran about 6 miles and felt great, I could have gone farther but ran out of town. I would have to say that that was my best run EVER I felt great and totally enjoyed it.
Now back home, it has been cold and windy so I have decided that I am for sure a fair weather runner!!
15 weeks left until the big day, we are looking for a half marathon to run close to home that will give us a chance to get a race day feel, but not embarrass us too much!!
