Back in Boise

It feels great to be Home! It feels even better to call Boise home... It has now been one year since Jay, my dad and I packed up our cars and trailer and made the long journey out here. It has been one exciting year so far. We are definitely still getting adjusted and meeting so many amazing people. There has not been a dull moment. We are both very happy with our decision and love what Boise has to offer.

Back on my training... It is nice to run in Boise again. Kind of crazy to think that when I moved here a year ago it took me about a month to get used to running at a higher altitude. Now I prefer running here! The temperatures are still hot but the air is much more dry. Not too bad as long as you get up early and run.

I got back into town on Tuesday, unfortunately I did not make it on a run that day. Wednesday I was back full force. I did a good six miles in the neighborhood. Thursday I decided I needed a little change of scenery. I decided to take a jog up in the hills.... I don't think I realized what I was getting myself into. As if the hills were not hard enough, I got passed up by a high school cross country girl and her coach. I think that has got to be one of the most defeating encounters when running. We were not on some straight trail either, we were on the good climb to the top. I kept telling myself that she is much younger and has probably been doing this for a lot longer... I pushed and was able to make it to the top! I even carried my camera just to share some picture with you! So enjoy!

I have a big 12 mile run tomorrow morning then Jay and I are off to camp in Coeur D' Alene area for a few days. Should be a lot of fun!

Thanks for listening!

Why did the golfer wear more then one pair of pants?

In case he got a hole in one! :)
