big baz 2011 12k

hello dear readers...hello? anyone? anyone out there? it's been a while since we last posted that i'm afraid we may have lost our loyal following. we did have a loyal following...didn't we?

so ladies and gentlemen, here is our next big goal: the big baz 12k on saturday, january 8, 2011 at blue jay campground at the cleveland national forest. we'll reach between 3,000 and 4,000 feet of elevation, so this is a little (okay, a lot) more intense than our 9k. that's big baz here to the left. looks like a real nice guy, doesn't he? i'm hoping the humble runners can get a photo with him.

i've been running pretty consistently. you know tyler is dealing with some itbs from his 50 miler, so he's taking a break from running until that heals. instead he's been riding his bike alongside me while i run on the boardwalk. what a guy, huh? this is great since i have to go in the evenings and i'm not comfortable running alone when it's dark. my sis and i were also in texas this weekend for our mom's 60th birthday, so we went for a run with my brother. the road was pretty perfect for running on (somewhere between asphalt and gravel). we had dogs chase us, saw lots of horses, etc. now i've come down with something - a sore throat and chest thing, so i'll have to take some time off. stay tuned...

xo,
jessica
