Another Day, Another Run

Another spring day has come and Flat Jenny has been out enjoying the beauty of the world around her. This morning started off chilly and a little cloudy, but by the time the 4.5 mile run was finished it was sunny, warm, and glorious!

The daffodils were out, happily sharing their sunny faces with the world!
Flat Jenny's run took her through some neighborhoods around town. Again, Mack was her gentlemanly chauffeur. She has a completely unobstructed view of the world that way and she loves it.
Toward the end of the run, Flat Jenny and Mack met up with some of their friends---John and Anya---who were coming back from a scooter ride adventure. John gave Flat Jenny a speedy ride back home and she loved feeling the wind on her face!
Excellent running again this morning, Flat Jenny! Now she is off to have spring break adventures with Meggen and her family!

Jordan River Trail Run

Flat Jenny had a glorious run today on the Jordan River Trail in Lehi, UT. The sun was out and the temperature absolutely perfect! Flat Jenny smiled and loved every minute of her adventures outside. She got to ride on the back of her friend Mack. (Mack is very gentlemanly and always carries the water, snacks, camera, and car keys in his backpack, so why not let Flat Jenny ride too?!)
Within the first mile, Flat Jenny came around a bend in the trail and discovered a dozen cows hanging out next to the fence waiting for a visit. Flat Jenny said a quick, "hello," but couldn't stop for too long. She was just getting warmed up!
Next, Flat Jenny decided that the view of the lovely snow covered Mount Timpanogos was awesome, so she just had to stop for another picture. She really loves looking at the beautiful world while she is out running---there's always something inspiring to see.
Another mile later, the llama who shares his pasture with a bunch of sheep decided to come over and say hello. He usually is not very friendly, so this was a special treat! Even so, Flat Jenny decided not to get too close because, as you know, llama's spit (or so Flat Jenny has been told!)When today's 6 miles were through, Flat Jenny and Mack felt very tired, but extremely happy to have been outside on such a beautiful day! They hung-out together in the back of the car while Meggen drove them home for a well-deserved rest! Great running, Flat Jenny!

Flat Jenny's First Week

Flat Jenny kicked off her official training for the Utah Valley Half Marathon this week!  She is excited to have this challenge ahead of her.  It will be a wonderful 12 week adventure.  She hopes to be able to share it with many friends along the way.

Flat Jenny has been running on the treadmill with Meggen this week because the weather outside has been cold, rainy, and miserable!  It is great to run on the treadmill but not nearly as enjoyable as running outside---the views are not nearly as interesting.  Flat Jenny is hoping that improved weather next week makes for some wonderful outside running adventures.
