STILL ALIVE

Not that there's any reason we wouldn't be. We did spend 8 days visiting Ted's folks as well as mine -- it was great to see family. It's too bad we can't see them more. We're blessed with great parents that are fun to be around. :-) We returned New Year's day, and I promptly went skiing and experienced night skiing for the first time. These pictures were taken Saturday night. I'm not sure why Jesus is on the ski hill, but I quite like this picture below (my buddy Corey is on the left).

I have some fun running plans coming up, but I'm terribly out of shape right now. It will be interesting to see whether I have enough residual endurance and running muscle-memory to survive my planned fun. . . in the GRAND CANYON! at the end of the month with friends. I'm really well fed and undertrained right now, but I'm banking on that muscle memory thing.

Ted's parents got him one of those groovy Flip video cameras for Christmas, and I took some great niece videos, but I need to figure out how to upload before I can bore all of you with Stella movies. I will try to control myself. It is not, afterall, my toy anyhow :p

That's the latest and greatest. If the sun ever comes out I will be able to get some excellent photos. It has been so foggy lately you can scarcely see your hand in front of your face up high in the mountains. Enough rambling.

Wow that night skiing pic is great, and really makes me want to get out there. I've promised myself to get up to the slopes more than twice this year. Have fun in the Grand Canyon. I can't wait to the the blog pics from that. Don't worry about your training. If you start from the canyon rim, at least half your run will be downhill right? :)

That's exactly what I'm thinking -- it's half downhill! The rest is a hike uphill.

GC in January??? I am so curious what it's like!

LOL - I have a similar photo with Jesus from my ski trip last year.
Have fun at the Grand Canyon; it sounds awesome!!

That night shot of the trees and snow is really cool. You will love the Grand Canyon. There should be some great snow on the north side. Have a ball.
