Well, this last weekend was rainy here, and I didn't run either day with family events going on.  I saved up my energy to run the local Mesa Trail as fast as i could so to practice my "race pace".  I have a goal to be a bit faster this year since I plan to finish, to afford myself some extra time in the wee hours! I tried out my new spot tracker that shows my progress as I run - it's a supercool bit of technology.  Time to focus on climbing mountains, running hills, and I have plans to start heading up to Leadville to train on parts of the course.
Rory goes in for scanning tomorrow to determine if she will have rounds 5 and possibly 6 of chemo before getting surgery to remove the larger tumors in her tiny body.  She's absolutely remarkable and such an inspiration to me!
I think of her as I run, and it puts things in perspective.  My mountains get less daunting while remaining just as magnificent.
