Good morning ladies!!

Yeah to KSH and Tiffany on feeling good!!! Doesn't it make the rest of the day feel great to have run well?

Always meant to tell you, Wahine, I am a little dense also!! I am far from sleek, but you would not guess what I weigh--yep, she's a little dense!

I hope it is your orthothics working, Alpinerabbit...hip pain is one of the worst, in my book. I have some that comes and goes at times. I think it is mainly from riding my wider than normal mare - at about 50 miles, I have trouble getting off and running.

I ran all that downhill off my horse last week (about 14 miles total over three days) and felt no ill effects. I was concerned that downhills would kill me after all the uphill and flat from the treadmill all winter. Knees feel great!!! I did drop a fence post on my big toe, though, and turn it black. It is right next to the one I lost from running before I got bigger shoes. Who needs toenails anyway? I'll just paint them on for sandal season!!

I am training horses this afternoon with little chance to get off and run, but going to spin class and then doing a long run tomorrow. I can hardly wait to get on the trails, but it is still too muddy here.
