Yankee Springs Winter Challenge

Yes.........it was a challenge. A trail half marathon - with LOTS of hills............

Leslie and I were up early to drive there.........it was NOT as cold as we thought and we stripped in the woods - hung our tech shirts on a tree and continued. We knew we would pass that way again on the way "in" and we did.......... We got a neat snow globe for finishing...........

My first trail run - altho we did a hike. Finished in 3:22, which is really good considering ALL those hills - tree roots, rocks, gullies, steep slopes......a tough course.

Will I do it again??????? half marathon - yes............trail - too soon to say.

Ohmigosh, Linda!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

What a great job, not only to run the 13 miles, but to run it on trails, uphill and down! I am soooooooo impressed. And I love that you got snow globes for finishing.

It certainly bodes well for 2012. Happy, happy new year to you and your family! I so enjoy your family photos.
