#300
Wow, 300 entries. And next month will be 2 years! My how time flies!
So this nasty cold is finally clearing. I figure it was probably good to be so sick for two weeks, it made me rest my foot. Remember how I mentioned a twisted ankle a few weeks back? Well, after my 8 miles a couple weeks ago, my left foot was aching along the top and up my leg. I thought it was strange till I talked to a friend who has the same thing happening on a foot he twisted awhile back. It's still huring, two weeks later (any shoes, any pressure, any wiggling the wrong way). So maybe it was good to rest.
But I'm done resting. I've got a 50k to train for! Oh yeah, and a five mile race this Sunday. I'll run this evening with Paki, and then I won't run again till Sunday morning. I figure if I have to stroll through the race, I will. I'm coming off a non-running summer and then a bad cold, so no pressure, that's for sure. The important thing is I'm out there doing it. It'll be fun!
So I'm looking ahead at training plans and scheduling and upcoming races. I'm excited to put together info for the C2U plan. I'm excited to think about getting in ultra shape again. I'm excited to think about running with 30 of my friends in April. I'm excited about a new pair of earrings I bought that are the COOLEST EVER. I'm excited about selling my artwork. I'm excited about putting together custom running art for my friends.
I'm just excited!

Happy 300! I actually thought of you a few times when writing that Garland post.
Good luck with your 50K training!

Sounds like a pretty exciting time for you. Glad to hear everything is coming together.
Good luck at the race on Sunday!

Happy 300. I'm still going to get you some stuff for the art project. I even have some of the mylar blanket from the RnR last year. It'll be in the mail soon.

Hi Angie,
Found your blog - I live in Tucson, also! Those earrings look like the tattoos that Dirt Diva (Catra) has on the front of her thighs.
Maybe we could hook up to go trail running together sometime.

I wish I could add to your Zane Grey list, but a 50k isn't in the cards for me next year. I'm glad to hear some of the old pink fuzzy emerge. As someone else earlier said, it's been too long!

Angie, speaking of art work, it's hanging on the blue wall in my office and looking wonderful! I meant to start getting stuff together for you, but it's been a loaded week and now marathon weekend is here. I'll try to do it real soon...

Angie, I haven't been regular about checking out blogs, I'm afraid to say. I remembered yours as being a favorite, though, when I checked it over the summer. Was I ever surprised! It didn't seem like the same Angie at all.
I'm glad to see you so excited about life in general, and so many things in particular. Your smile definitely seems to be back, and I hope it stays.
Congrats on your 300th entry! You're still an awesome blogger.
I look forward to reading more about your C2U training/ info. It sounds like a blast!

Hi Angie - I found you through JavaMom. I am from Iowa but I have an Aunt who lives at Ventana Canyon. I would love to visit her and do a winter race. I haven't found much on the internet so JavaMom recommended you. What do you know about Jan - April time period? Anything fun from 10K to a HM maybe ??
Happy 300, I look forward to following you. :)
