One Month Down.....

Well, the first month of training is under my belt, and I am still excited!  Don't get me wrong, I have moments of "What was I thinking?"...but the majority of my moments are filled with "I can do this...again....I am excited about this!"  Those moments of excitement and sureness RARELY come at 5 am, however :) 
I got my latest training plan from Coach Ian, and he is definitely picking up the intensity...not that I expected anything less.  And of course, I now see the "50K" on the training plan, which  means I am gearing up for another go at the Frosty 50k!  Should be lots of fun again this year, as Steph, KO, and Crystal are all running the race too.  Lots of opportunity for fun...I mean there isn't much else to do while you are out there for 5 plus hours, except laugh and enjoy! 
This week the mileage starts creeping up again, so here's to uneventful training :)  and of course, we will be doing the 8k Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning...so we can eat ALL day.  Ella may go for round 2 of the 1 mile fun run!!!!  She will do anything for a medal :)

And on an unrelated note....I am considering going dark and short!  Happy Birthday, John!  We loved celebrating and getting wiggy with you :)  (Apparently Kris couldn't handle the wig all night and thought that his MOVEMBER facial hair would count!)....
