Springy Me

A few weeks ago I ordered myself a couple new pairs of running shoes. (One for indoor and one for outdoor purposes, DUH). Anyways-- I've been logging quite a few miles and I feel good. mentally and physically. Makes sense.

Yesterday I went for a 12 mile run which ended up only being 7 and a half because I was tugged into an Ultimate Frisbee scrimmage against a La Crosse, WI team that was visiting. The grass was green, the sun was out in full force and the sky was a striking blue. Beautiful Saturday afternoon, the day after a fresh rain. I figured, "Why not." Post scrimmage I left the fields with a few semi-sore muscles (which are now sorer than they were yesterday) a dirt and grass stained shirt and some awesome battle scars and scrapes --one of which is about the size of a wiffle ball hanging out high on the side of my right thigh.

I was the oldest out on the fields...but I definitely outplayed everyone there. (which feels nice in a small way).

I'm training for a possible marathon, and I'm going to start the world famous P90X training and fitness program in about 2-3 weeks, which will last me through the summer. I'm pretty excited for that. It'll be a nice distraction I think.

I hope Easter is as good to you all as it is to me. :o) Keep blazing trails and forging new paths.
