Yesterday, to start the spring off, I ran 10 miles! Yes, 10 miles, without stopping once! (Well, except to climb over 2 avalanches that had spilled out over the trail I was running on!) 10 miles is nearly double the furthest I've ever run in my entire life. Five miles is not a big deal for me, but I was scared that 10 would be a whole different ball game. My Ragnar teammates and I did it at about a 9:00 minute mile pace. Not bad for a first timer, I guess. I am just a little bit sore. Yesterday I feared I'd not be able to walk at all today, but I'm really doing just fine. I'm pretty amazed that this old body can still do it. Now....to decide whether I can handle a 13 mile jaunt for the Provo Half-Marathon on April 4......
After I got back, the girls and I just had to get our swimming suits on and hang out in the back yard. What a great day. We sprayed each other with water, jumped on the trampoline, and made some serious mud. Emma was using a garbage bag to try to catch butterflies. That was a little ineffective, and I figured the neighbors were wondering what on earth she was up to. So later, at Macey's grocery shopping, we saw some butterfly nets and had to take a couple of them home with us. We drove home with them sticking out of the sun roof. I have the cutest, funnest, and sweetest girls a Mom could ever ask for. I love them more every day. I posted some pictures here
