onepinkfuzzy: Happy New Year!

What better way to ring in the new year than to go for a run.

Kiera (who has kindly agreed to allow her photos to (finally) be posted on my blog) and I headed out to Sabino Canyon to run up to Seven Falls. Since Mike did not have to work today and thusly was available to watch the kids, we decided to head out later than normal, which gave me sleep in time (nice!).

After a leisurely morning preparing for the run while watching the news (really, did I need a recap of last year's entertainment/pop culture? And did I need to hear about what will be "big" this year? (Spiderman, Bourne and Pirates of the Caribbean #s 3)). Anyway, arrived at 10 at Kiera's ready to go.

Headed over to the Canyon, where my pass (which expired in November) was once again studied and then handed back to us with a "Have a good day!" Guess I don't have to renew it yet...? I probably just jinxed myself ... uh oh.

So we headed out - many more people on the trails than I'm used to. The run itself was excellent, non-eventful, and best of all - my knee felt great, yay!

In my post-run exhaustion, when I first wrote this post, I failed to mention a few things, like: post-run food = toffee coffee cake appetizer with Trader Joe's mochas followed by the BEST. NACHOS. EVER. (photo at the end of the post; vegetarians avert your eyes.); oh darnit, I forgot the other things I forgot. Shoot.

Here are the rest of the photos...

VEGETARIANS, AVERT YOUR EYES!

Happy New Year!

Angie,
Those photos are so interesting to me - where you run is so different than where we run. What a contrast from the woods we ran through yesterday and the gray and drizzly rain we've got today. Um, and, your waterfall makes me laugh!

Beautiful pics!

I can see the resemblance between Kiera and Finn.

Happy 2007!

Love all the photos. You look so happy! What a cool place to run, too, though that one trail looks pretty steep. Jessica says you're coming out in February -- can't wait to finally meet in person. (I'm volunteering at her ultra.)

It is so odd to see sun. Thank you for posting the pics so I can remember what it looks like.

Finally we get to put a face with the name! Nice photos. Gorgeous area. Glad to hear the knee isn't bothering you so much!

Glad to hear your knee felt better. Looks like you two had wayyyy too much fun out there. I thought running was supposed to be hard. Must have been the nachos.
