winter fun.

a couple weeks ago, my mom, sister, and i went on an adventure at the millstream run tobogganing chutes. it was quite the adventure. getting up the hill carrying those big sleds was no easy task. you think you are in shape til you carry one of those things up several flights of stairs. once at the top you wait your turn (and catch your breath!) to fly down the icy chute. then it is over that quick! all that work, and it is over in a flash! then it's time to hike up again and do it another time! it was quite fun, yet quite cold. it snowed lightly and was very picturesque! it was a fun girls afternoon out!! :) Some pix below.

~note to self: don't do this activity after running a 5k....very sore the next day!!

last weekend i did my first 5k of 2009. i was ready for a challenge after a couple month break from the racing scene, and having had some foot pain issues between the last race of 2008 and late january. the course was basically the same route as the pigskin classic, but this time I made it up the hill and kept going. i plan to work on upgrade training, but have not as of yet. i was just glad to have gotten up that sucker and to have kept going rather than walk it. it was good to get back into the atmosphere of a race, i do love it. it was a bit chilly, but not like the last 2 races i have done. finish time was 30:38.

oh dear.

she's just so cute. i guess chores aren't her thing.
