Ready for the Mudfest and Other Ramblings



This has been a slow week as I'm running every day and tomorrow, I'll be doing the Mt Penn Mudfest. It's a short trail race at 15K and located outside Reading, PA, about an hour's drive from my house. But it is a hard race and they do not call it Mudfest for nothing. And with rain predicted tonight and into Saturday morning, it will be a mess.




That's Sarah laying on the sofa after a run. On the floor is her sister Sammie. Sammie was diagnosed a few weeks back with bone cancer so she had her right leg amputated. She is such a warrior. Within 24 hours of her surgery, she was up and taking short walks and now, just 2 weeks after the surgery, she can go on long walks and parades up and down the street like there is nothing wrong with her. She is great!
