A bump on in the road

Have I told you what I'm going to do?! Cross the Grand Canyon! I can't wait! It was time to take some marathon time off, so I have decided to do something VERY different...hiking across the Grand Canyon. 14 miles down one side, cross the Colorado River, up 12 miles the other side. All in ONE day. This is scheduled to happen in May! Exciting!

Until then, despite many day off (weeks, rather) from running, I have started getting back in the swing of weekly workouts with the group. This morning, probably because it had been so long since I had run, I tripped and fell towards the end of my workout! Couldn't believe it! It's a good thing its cold outside - without the coverage of tights and a jacket with some gloves, I would have done some serious damage. I now know that if I'm not a bit more consistent with mileage and workouts, I will be slipping all over the Canyon! I have also been told that I need to work up to 2 hours + on the Stair master. Seriously?! 2 hours?! I'm sure my next post will be about how much fun that is!
