2012 Pineland Fun

Well, as much as I had hoped it would be, running Pineland was not in the cards this year, but what can you do? I am sad about not having been able to run today, as it was a gorgeous day today and Ian and Erik and all the volunteers put on such a great event, but the trails and the race will be there next year! And that said, I did have a lot of fun hanging out at Pineland today, soaking up the atmosphere, enjoying the music, cheering on all my crazy Trail Monster friends and catching up with everyone! It was great to see so many people have such great races today, and to be inspired by all the grit and determination and smiles on all the runner's faces today. Days like this are what it is all about! Many thanks to Mom and Dad for helping us with Sam today, so that Ryan and I could both have a chance to enjoy the day!

On the injury front, the foot is feeling quite good. Still a tiny bit tender on top, but not bad. And even better, after a day of walking around and doing a lot of standing, it still feels pretty good. Not to mention, my legs feel better than they have in 3 weeks! Nothing like a bit of movement and blood flow to loosen the muscles up and make things feel a bit happpier :-) This body does not like to sit still!!
