In Training

I'm officially signed up and training for two races that are new to me. The 10-mile Pear Blossom Run is in Medford, OR on April 10th, and the Mike Schweitzer Memorial Challenge half marathon is two weeks later in Etna, CA. It has been absolutely beautiful here with morning fog rising off the river valley, spring flowers, dew-covered spiderwebs hanging in bushes, budding fruit trees, and the sweet sounds of birds welcoming spring. I wish I had a mini-camera, perhaps the size of an ipod, to capture these things on my morning runs.
