Springtime in Utah

Mother Nature sometimes has a wicked sense of humor . . . especially here in Utah! We made it through April Fool's Day without any problems, but then when we least expected it, WHAM! Mother Nature had only been teasing us with the recent beautiful, sunny, mid-70 degree weather of late. Sunday morning we woke up to a flocked world! Everything was covered in a layer of snow and ice (even the popcorn that had just started popping on the apricot tree!)

Even now, Monday morning, the world is still snowy and 28 degrees outside. ;o(

So, although Flat Jenny thinks the snow is beautiful, she has opted to stay inside on the treadmill this morning for her daily run. Slipping on the icy roads and possibly breaking her neck in the process just doesn't sound like a great way to start a new week. But, perhaps if she waits a day (or even an hour or two), the sunshine just might return! That's springtime in Utah for ya!

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.
