It's hard for me to pinpoint just what it was, but I couldn't get into my groove today on the group run. Maybe it was the fact that Kristi was sick and couldn't come, or that Kimmie was out of town, or that I hadn't gotten much sleep in the last 3 days. But, I think the most likely culprit was my lack of running and eating right this last week. I had to go out of town for work at last minute, and was in the middle of nowhere. My destination: Wells, Nevada. Home of legal prostitution and the closest town to Thursday's earthquake epicenter. It's only population 1,000ish, therefore, food and exercise options were limited. But it didn't take exercise to get my heart racing-- just aftershocks rattling my nerves multiple times during the days and nights, and live shots in a gazillion newscasts. Despite the exhaustion, I love breaking news. And, despite my off-beat morning, I loved our group run.
We went up and down Millcreek Canyon. It was a rainy/snowy morning, and the fog still filled the canyon. The fresh snow made the pine trees look like frosted sugar cookies, and the crisp air invigorated my senses.
Another thing that was off? Either my mile/timer thingy, or Melissa's. So, we either ran 8.9 or 7.8 miles. Either way, it was good. Kristi, we miss you and Mr. Garmen. Come back please.
Oh, and here are some pics from a run past. Can't wait for a good night's sleep and a focused week ahead of diligent runs and eating right.

It's been a hard transition realizing I'm the "plus size" one...but I am. I'm the plus size one. Damn it.
Kera! HaHaHa! No you are NOT! You are the model one!
Kera, you are so funny! I am the plus size one. You were booking it the last half of the run.
