I know what you are thinking? What the heck happened to Tara? Over a month and no post...Well you see we up and moved from Texas to Conneticut. Now that is one heck of a move and whats more is the house we bought needed/needs a ton of work. Doug and I are pretty dang handy so, we can do a ton of it ourselves but, it is eating up my time. However....LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Enough said. This house ROCKS!!! We live right on a lake. We spent last week playing on the ice and I imagine we will spend the summer swimming in the lake. I haven't got a ton of running in but I have had some serious speed work. In the above picture you can see me pulling my neice Bridget and Chloe. I would run as hard as I could and ramp them over little mounds of snow we made. Then Joe (my nephew seen skating by me in this picture) would jump on the pile and I would pull all three. My legs were screaming after two days of giving rides but, I figure it had to be a good workout. Oh and the squeals of delight made my day.
I have gotten out for a few runs and I love the neighborhood. The roads are pretty narrow so not ideal for running but, the neighbors tend to drive slow so at least no one should mow me down. I have tried to run the trails a few times but, dang the ice storms really messed up the snow around here. It is so icy that it takes off skin when you run into it so, I need to figure out how other runners do this winter snow running when the snow is iced over on top. I haven't seen anyone running the trails so I am guessing they are just too messed up right now to run but, if any of you have ideas let me know. I am new to this snow trail running.
So just a quick post to let you know I am still here. I am running again but, only short distances for now. No idea what races I will do this year. There is so much to do it is hard to sort it all out at the moment.
We do have a guest room all set up. We have already had two sets of guests. So if you are in the neighborhood please let us know and stop by.
