My Other Reason to Hope for a Long Summer

I've registered for a 10K run in September.

When I registered I was still pregnant and September seemed SO far away.

I thought "I'll have no problem running 10 by then".

"I'll be running 5 by May for sure".

Well...

June is half over and I just ran 5K yesterday!

Nothing like a little pressure.  

Really, that's half the reason I signed up for this thing.

I thought I would force myself into working off the baby weight.

Oh yah, did I mention this run is in Banff?

In the treacherous beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Mountain air is much thinner than prairie air, you know.

And those mountains, they have a tendency to have hills, you know.

I think I can, I think I can.

Just wanted to share this pic I took yesterday while running.

It looks like Mill Creek just got a fresh blanket of snow.

Don't fret though {unless you have allergies I suppose} that's just poplar fuzz.
