Courtney is the girl right next to me. We are training for a marathon. Actually she is training for it and I am her trainer/support team. All the excercize without any of the pressure. Awesome.
Today we ran 17 miles and it was pain free. I think I could have easily made it 20 but I am trying to not push myself and build strength. Considering knee problems of the past I feel like this is a blessing in my life right now. Years of base miles later I am ready to run.
Very grateful for Kyle's strawberry jam sandwich at mile 12. I hit a wall of hunger that makes me think next time I better take breakfast a little more seriously.
I would like to be able to run 30 miles or some kind of ultra. We will see how that goes. One of these days I may ride a mountain bike again. After all, it is my first love and definately more fun.

Mt Rose
5 miles with 5 kids at 8000 feet up mt. rose to the waterfall = exhasting. But we did it. Lake Tahoe was beautiful as ever, and Ella passed the time by learning about survival. (We are going to buy her a pocket knife this week.)
Ella packed her own backpack. She brought Tina, her stuffed puppy, her blanket, sunglasses, a pear, a pop tart, paper and pencil in case she needed to draw a map. It is fun to see how her mind works.

Then there is kate. We now tell people we have "2 kids and a kate." She has been quite a handful lately. This is her new hair cut. All the layers are her own.
