Jeeps, snow and running

What do they have in common?? Not a lot....LOL
Last weekend we went up north to West Branch....off roading...in my Jeep....we went to a big even called Sno*Blind. The first trail run was great....we went Friday Night - Daves mom watched the girls- It started at 8 and we didn't get back til after midnight... the trails and woods were so pretty in the dark with the snow....the temp at one point dropped to -4!! Brrrr. Saturday was another story... we had a horrible trail leader and spent the day stuck behind a F-250 superduty....(who would bring a truck to a Jeep event?!) and we were not stuck it was the boat of a truck that blocked the whole trail and was stuck....ugh- after 5 hours we backed out......through the heavy snow....not fun.
Running...well I have decided on my next race....March 16th....I am going to run the St. Patricks day Parade race downtown...just a 4 mile...so I better get running! I have been lifting heavier and changing up my workout so I have not been running huge distances...so today I am going to try for 3 miles...Usually I just get so board.....I can't wait til the weather breaks and I can run outside!!
Well I want to get some spinning done...I have a busy day- I am helping a friend decorate and fill cupcakes for a party, its pizza night so I have to make the dough, and we have Maddys violin lesson today...oh yes and I have to run at least 3 miles... : )

Knit Michigan

Ok so jury duty was not that bad. I did get frustrated when I got downtown trying to park- but I didn't get picked for the jury and was home by noonish....so that was ok. I also got to see the Detroit River from a window in the courthouse and it looked really cool. A little frozen...chunks of ice...wish I would have had a camera. : )
Today was Knit Michigan. A very cool event. This was my first year there. Next year I am planning on Marathoning....: ) My mom died from cancer 9 years ago. So for me the cause was very worthwhile. I knit and donated two chemo caps which I forgot to take pictures of.... My girls went with me and they had awesome kids things- They both got to felt some soap and Maddy- got a set of knitting needles and yarn and a pattern for a small bag. I shopped a little. I got some bamboo silk, soy silk, and some merino superwash.... all in of course beautiful colors... in fact I am going to go spin some now so I will have some pictures for later!
