Deep Thoughts and Fancy Footwork

This past week I've been meaning to blog about our Lake Tahoe run.  So now that Jaide has got the ball rolling, I'll add to it.

Please allow me to share a few of my thoughts, in order of occurrence, during the trail run:

• "What?  We're STARTING with a major hill?"
• (Out of breath at the top of the hill) "That's okay, I got this!"
• "Oh my goodness, I've never seen anything so beautiful!"
• "Careful, Lauren, don't trip over these crazy rocks."
• "Wow, this is unbelievably beautiful!"
• (Thud...) "I guess I should expect to fall on my face at least once."
• "Now I know why they call it Emerald Bay....the water is SO green!"
• "When are we going to stop going up hill?"
• "I think I'd rather be giving birth right now, because at least I'd be laying down!!!!"
• "At this point I don't care how beautiful this place is.  Where is the finish line??"
• "There's the finish line!"
• "Ahhhh...nothing like an ice cold beer on the beach.  This really is a beautiful place."
• "Maybe I'll do it again next year?"
