Memory Lane

As I was eating my crazy bread with lunch today, it brought me back to my high school cross country days. It was only the one time. I don't know why I still remember it but the coach bought us some crazy bread for a post workout snack. I am not even 100% sure of the workout we did but I sure do remember the snack!! I imagine we ran some switchbacks in the canyons but I couldn't be certain. Speaking of old cross country days, my old team mate ran her first marathon this very morning!!! Way to go, Sheri. If I were home right now, I would probably be digging through my cupboard looking through old pictures and looking to see if I kept some type of record of my old high school finishing times. I am not home, so I thought I would do my digging on daily mile and look back on some of my better race/run reports from before I started recording them on this blog. Here is what I have found:

Most spiritual. This wasn't an actual race but it was the longest I had gone at that point in my return to running. Funny, this year for Pioneer day I will be running a half marathon!

Biggest disaster. This actually was a race. I still have a faint scar from this, too. http://www.dailymile.com/people/EmilyBJohnson/entries/3071849


Biggest Adventure. The first of (hopefully) many 'racations'!http://www.dailymile.com/people/EmilyBJohnson/entries/3824006

I am so glad to have found running again. It has been a rough couple of months for us and I really don't know how I would have handled it all without this sport. I truly hope that I never stop participating. I need it and I love it. Happy Trails.
