I have a 7.5 mile race up Sabino Canyon Road this evening - the Sabino Sunset Run (pictures from last year). It's my official birthday run! (I want a "happy birthday" or "birthday girl" tiara to wear during the race...) It involves about 700 vertical feet of elevation gain (round-trip) as we travel up, up, up Sabino Canyon, and then back down, down, down. Mmm, the desert on a spring evening, with water in the canyon. Should be gorgeous. I was worried about the heat, but today the high is only supposed to be about 82 degrees. So, it shouldn't be too bad. I'm running the race with Paki, my amazing running partner who originally got me into running - she helped me establish a regular running routine, always showing up at 5 a.m. on summer mornings to run the river path with me. She gave me the inspiration and the patience to work at getting better. I'm very excited to be running this race with her - it's our first this year. We are also planning on running a 10k in early May, and an 8k in September. On my right sidebar, there is a picture of Paki and I at last year's September 8k on the University of Arizona campus.

And...drum roll, please...this is my 100th post! My 101st post will be my race report tomorrow morning (after I go run 8 miles in the morning to get my 28 miles for the week. Brent - see? I am getting 28 miles in during my 28th birthday week!)
