Life Doesn't End With 50!

I have a date to work towards.  Unfortunately, this hip pain is returning.  Took two weeks off due to horrible (unless you love snow... ok... I loved it!) weather for running!  I did do some bomb sledding down our huge hill, and had an eventful time with my beautiful children.  I was sore, and bruised from all the sledding, but none-the-less, tromping up and down the hill in the slippery, thick snow... really gave me a workout!  It was fun!
