Tutus and 10ks

Tomorrow is my first 10k run of the year!  It’s a free event held every year on the Rails to Trails, which is an old rail bed turned hiking trail that runs throughout the province.  The hike starts and ends at a local cafe called the Bike and Bean, and yes it is as nifty as it sounds.  It should be about -3  here in the morning, so not bad temp wise but it is going to be a tough run since the trail is snow covered and rutty from atvs using it.  It will likely be a slow go but I plan to give it my all.  I am thinking about running with my Yak Traks on.  Has anyone ever used them for trail running in the winter?  Any advice or thoughts would be much appreciated 🙂

However the run goes I will definitely be hitting up some hot coffee afterwards.  I bet I will be smelling those beans the whole way down the trail.  Mmmmmm Coffee.  I love me some coffee ❤

My oldest girl was a little, shall we say grouchy today, lol.  I am telling you, this kid is smart as a whip, determined and as emotional as a 16 year old.  Throw in the fact that she is over tired (my fault) and it makes for an interesting day.  I was trying to cheer her up this afternoon by playing dress up with her.  This was the best picture I could get.  In the rest of them she was flat out screaming or crying, ha.  Don’t worry it got better very soon after.  Nothing a few snuggles and tea party couldn’t fix 😉  This girl is so much like me it scares me.  Oh the struggles to come.  Some day it will pay off for her tenfold, but probably not for us in the teenage years, lol.

Wish me luck tomorrow! I will post my run results tomorrow night.  Happy Friday all!
