Chuckanut 50k 2012 and SPRING!

The Chuckanut 50k takes place in our neck of the woods and on Saturday. Not such good weather for the run as it can become a real mud bog. My husband and I ran on the trails last year while the 50k was going.

Here's my post about it and the mud -

   This years start was very gray and rainy.

The runners before the aid station and the Fragrance lake trail turn off on the interurban trail.

** I'm adding this You Tube video after I'd already done this posting.**

 I found this Chuckanut 50k 2012 You Tube video where I'm along the trail where the above picture was taken. In the video I'm the spectator on the right side of the trail, in the blue!

 There was about 3 inches of snow at Chuckanut ridge, the following blog post has great pictures of the day and some really good ones of the snow on the ridge and chinscrapper.

It was great to be there and watch the event. I think we had the weather of all four seasons there during the day while we were watching.

Now I'm ready for SPRING!

Hyacinth in our flower bed - yippee!

What I want to look like at 60 years old.

I turn 60 in two years, I know - I'm horrified. 

This look is probably not going to happen in my lifetime, but a visual to keep my eyes on the mark to stay fit.

Time to FOCUS.
