snowshoeing

On President's Day Paul, my mom, Travis and I went snowshoeing up Mill Creek Canyon. I was so bummed that I did not bring my camera. It was gorgeous. We got snowshoes from my mom last Christmas and had never used them. This is a winter activity that I might actually enjoy. We went about four miles and on Tuesday I could barely move my legs, my calves were so sore! Paul did awesome, he was jumping everywhere. My mom did great until the desent were she took a couple falls. This is definately something that i would do again.

Running

I signed up for a Winter Racing Circuit so that I can stay in shape this winter. It starts with a 5k and goes through a marathon, but I only plan on staying in it through the half marathon. Yesterday was the first race. It was one of my slowest times in a 5k, but it was a tough course. The first mile and a half was up hill. I ended up coming in in 27 minutes. I was 9th in my age group out of 39 and 201 overall. It was a blast. I have not ran a race in over a year. I forgot how fun it can be.
