What a Year!!!!

I see my last post was one year ago!  Wow has alot happened since. We are now living in Rochester, Michigan which is the most awesome place we've ever lived.  I came up last June for a new job and we finally found a house and moved on New Years. Michigan greeted us with their mildest winter on record so running outside every day was no problem (except for one day with a 6 inch snow making a 9 mile run up and down a 0.4 mile plowed section of sidewalk pretty boring).

There is great running verywhere.  The most difficult part of running here is deciding which route!

Yesterday I ran 22 miles on the Clinton River and Macomb Orchard Trails with only a few road crossings. Today was 9.5 miles with the Stoney Creek Running Club up at the Metro Park lake. There we saw deer and wild tukeys with tails fanned out (mating season?).  The lake was calm and beautiful with blue skies and fresh green leaves on the trees complimented with vibrant green grass and blue water. Spectacular!


Oh... and running streak?  Tomorrow makes 600 days of running everday with no injuries and 4,670 miles without a rest day.... still no stretching or cross training or weights... except pulling that cement anchored clothesline pole out of the ground yesterday was a real workout ;-)
