Ins and outs of October

 

 Fall is officially here.  We are running almost daily now.  All I am thinking about it getting through the marathon on Sunday.  I am so glad the big miles are behind me now.  Pam and I ran 20 miles and I biked 37 with Mary during Balloon fiesta.  I will be so glad when my life slows down just a bit so I can catch up on all the things that are important to me, like blogging.  HA!

Sipapu

 I am so grateful my family loves to go run up a ski hill every year.  We love our time at Sipapu.  It is so fun to spend the weekend with each other in the mountains.  This year, we brought the dog.  Oh boy, what a challenge, but I am glad she came.  My parents were supposed to come but they were sick so they stayed home.  Stephen's leg was hurting so he only ran a few runs before he had to rest.  This weekend was tough but I know it will prepare me for the marathon.  Nolen had a blast with his friends.  I braved the water and put my knee in the water to freeze it with hopes of healing it from all the running.
