Happy Musher

I am one happy girl.

See? Happy :)

Went for a run in -15 to -20 temps today.

"Now how can you be happy about that??", you may be asking yourself.

Well, I'll tell you:

1. I received my new pair of Apocalypse Design bibs yesterday. Just in time for the temps to drop. I LOVE them! I did not get cold at all on my run today. In fact, I even got a little too warm at times! Imagine that, a girl from So Cal getting hot at -20 degrees??

And 2. This last weekend we got enough snow that we at Bacon's Acres' were finally able to switch to sleds!

Oh happy day!!

It's been a challenging fall/winter. Took a while until we actually got some snow. We enjoyed it for a little while, but then we were hit with freezing rain. A little snow here and there after that. Then back to freezing rain. 

Started to pour freezing rain on me while out on a run a few weeks back. Notice the crunchy ice layer on my coat? I know I look happy, but trust me I wasn't.

Frustrating to say the least.

We were training with 4-wheelers until December 13th! 

Until this last glorious weekend when the snow fell, and fell some more, and just kept on falling.

This coming weekend is our first race, the Aurora 50/50. 

Two days, 50 miles each day.

I'm excited to see how my dogs do!
