MMTR

Last week I got registered to participate in the 2009 Mountain Masochist Trail Run. It will be on November 7, 2009. No lie, I'm a little scared about it. This race is about 52 miles in length, and I will be running it with my brother, Aron, and my cousins Travis and Alyssa Wildeboer! I'm really nervous, but excited to do it at the same time. Time for some more running! This is gonna' be a challenge!

Running and running and running

Well, just about a week left in the madness of running! I have successfully run at least 20 minutes every day this year to this point, and I am looking forward to taking January 1 off! Also, I am looking forward to drinking a big freakin' Mountain Dew as soon as midnight strikes and 2009 begins, claiming no pop in 2008! As I was running today in the 9 to 10 degree weather in the massive town of North English, Iowa I came to realize that my mustache froze over. When I got home it was still stiff, but by the time my mom took the photo, it was just water again. I love running, but I'm ready to not "have to" run anymore!

Home

I'm back in Iowa! I forgot how cold it is up here, well I didn't forget, but it's freakin' cold! I went out running today and it was in the single digits, which was rather warm compared to yesterday's high of -5! While I was running my mustache decided to freeze over. Quite fun, but it wasn't too terrible! I'm glad to be back in Iowa for a few weeks, as I will be back in Dallas on the 6th of January. Good time to reflect on things, and set some goals for the new year. Glad to be able to relax from Masters for a little while!
