Training

I just started training for Umstead on Jan 5. I know it's 65 weeks away, but I can't start training too early. I just keep thinking about the training and dedication it will take to accomplish such a task. But I feel really good so far, and am excited to train.
It's been cold, so I had to go the gym a couple times. It's been a battle for the machines, since all the new years resolutionists are coming in. I have to be there at opening to get a good machine. But that's OK; I just get more time.
I've been running with my dog, Stephanie (my son named her. She's really his dog.), who is a 1 year old lab. The pound said she's a mix, but I don't see it. Everything about her says lab. I'll have to get a picture of her. She's such a sweetheart. Yesterday we went for a run early in the morning, lighted by a piece of moon. It was great.
This Saturday's run will be quite chilly. It will only be about 11 degrees. I have to go 10 miles. I'll have to dress warm.
Happy trails,
Cheri
