I had a very fun weekend - lots of friends and I even got a couple of good workouts in. Friday night we went to dinner over at Deana's house. Saturday we got up and ran and then I went to see Bride Wars with bride-to-be Emily. Then Sunday we did a mountain bike ride and then met Gazelle, Alisa and her husband, and Junk Miles for brunch. Good stuff!!
Here's the breakdown:
Saturday: run
10.0 miles/1:25:04/8:25 average pace
Marine Drive with Zach at a strong pace. It was COLD, like in the upper 30's, so I ran in tights, long sleeves, and gloves. I felt really good though! We ran our first mile in 8:50 and our last mile at 7:59, but the others were right around 8:25.
Sunday: Mtn bike
approx. 10 miles
VERY muddy ride up in Forest Park. It was awesome.
Pictures!
And finally, I was tagged by Melinda so I get to play the latest game going around which is kind of a New Year's theme. Here goes!

Holy crap!!! Talk about mud on the back side!!!
Upper 30's is "COLD"?? Boo hoo from freezing ass cold Illinois, where Thursday we have a forecasted "HIGH" of 2 degrees... :) (now you understand my new treadmill obsession)
I'm so impressed with your courage for the Ironman AZ for '09. Can't wait to track your progress.
So are you settled in OR? Did you ever get a job in Portland?
Great run. I gues the mountain biking was muddy. How fun! I would say you had a very nice 2008. A Trek and Gary Fisher, your a luck girl.

LOL! Love that stripe up your back. So muddy!! The trail looks so pretty but is that frost on the ground? Yikes!
Cupcake Jones! How did we miss that? I'm coming back to America!
Lucky you're not starting the new job just yet - you'll need a week to clean the bikes and do the laundry ;)
Those pictures are so hardcore. I love playing in the mud too...very nice! Oh, and great 10-miler.
