It was raining hard this morning so I ran indoors on my treadmill. This was my first run in a while. I am just getting back into the swing of things. I ran a total of 5.6 miles in 54 minutes. I am planning on getting back into a regular running routine. I will be running in the Striders Winter Racing Circuit and training for the Ogden Marathon in May. I was excited to find this blog site to post my runs to and log my miles.

Welcome to the blog. I believe I ran by you in a race at Salt Lake Marathon about 4 years ago! I remember someone wearing a twinkie shirt and people yelling! Maybe it was you? haha

That probably was me. One of the people yelling would have been my Mom. She and my family were a great support at that race.

Yeah, I remember thinking I would do that in a marathon just so people would yell Hey twinkies! haha

Usually people yell Hey Twinkle Toes to Walter.
