Happy New Year's

It's been a while... I've been bit busy getting married and honeymooning but now my sights are set for the upcoming year of races and other fun ventures.

I kicked off the New Year by completing the Peanut Chip Chase 5K in the small town of Temple, NH. This was the third time that Z and I have done this race and it's become a tradition for us. It was blustery 8 degrees out but that didn't stop us or the other running fools that showed up. It was definitely tough to breathe and I was also recovering from a cold (which was better than last year when I was recovering from some New Year's Eve revelry). Again it's one of these fun NH races where they like to put the hill at the last 2/10's mile of the race. Considering all this, I pulled 28:14 better than the previous two years although not my best 5K. As always, the homemade soup and cookies made it all worth it.

Next up is the Hyannis Half Marathon... and most likely the Whidbey Island Marathon

Now, I am baking Deena Kastor's pumpkin lasagna for dinner. I have made this a few times before... very yummy.
