Today was my first run of 2015.  It's snowing outside so I opted to run inside on the treadmill.  One of my goals this year is to run a marathon so I'd better get going.  Felt good to run again.

Ran from Oma and Opa's house up to Devonshire and then connected with shorline trail past the H rock to the 2 water tanks on the mountain.  I then saw a trail from the water tanks that led to the top of the peak where a cell tower had been placed.  It was a steep climb and fun run back to the bottom.  The view was great and was really fun to be in the mountains!!

I drove up to Mt Ranier National Park before catching my flight. I parked at Paradise visitor Center and ran up the trail as far as I could in order to see the glaciers on rainier. I then realized I was short on time and ran all the way back to the car. I didn't realize how much elevation I had gained until I ran back to the car. My legs were sore the next day from running downhill.

Ran with Mary and Gunner through Franklin.  The Cider Mill opened today and it smelled delicious.  We stopped to drop Gunner off at mile 7.5 and then ran up to lone pine and back.  PA 9:45.  Need to start focusing on speed and interval training.

Early morning run to Andover with Mary and Gunner.  Our pace was a bit quicker today...8:59 including a Gunner stopping to pee a lot.

I've decided to commit to running the Indianapolis Marathon in October and will start getting speed work in each week and building my mileage.

I ran the Mackinaw "Great Turtle Trail Race" half marathon today.  The weather was cool and the first half of the run it rained really hard.  The course was a lot of fun though and once the rain stopped the temperature was perfect.  I ran with a garbage back until mile 10...not planning on it but it kept me "dry".

My hips started hurting at mile 11 but not too badly.  I was really glad I ran the race and would like to do it again next year. 8:25pace
