A chilly January Saturday morn...

Sorry, I can't seem to get these in the right order. You get the idea.

And she finds herself finishing yet another race with a seasoned vet. Comin on in.

Halfway there...

The halfway mark.

And he's off...

The Start

We were so lucky this year, again, to be able to participate in a little race that is put on here in the Artic Michigan weather. I ran this race in January 2007 and instantly fell in love with it. I was able to talk Jeb into it last January and we returned for another this last weekend. There is something to be said about a gathering of fellow runner's in single degree temperature's. Well, pretty much that we are moderatly nuts. All in all, it is a great race with a new cozy hat and coffee mug to come home with. There has got to be some kind connection with my love for this race and my childhood winter's in the good 'ole U.P. Hmmm...

We had a nice date morning and finished it off with a tall skim latee and raspberry cream cheese croissant. Back to reality by noon. Ah, the little things that bring this mama so much joy.

My love, all my love,
