Yikes! I haven’t been on here in a loooonnnggg while. No excuses, just bein’ a mom. Six kids, a husband, three jobs (thankfully I work from home), would keep anyone busy. One thing I have been able to keep up, thankfully is my ability to run, aka, my ability to think, zone-out and regenerize.

This year, more than any years previous, I have been LOVING my winter runs. In Utah, there is so much snow, and it is so cold, but running has been awesome.

Here are a few pics from my adventures:

One thing that has kept running enjoyable for me this winter, is being able to meet new people. A good friend of mine who befriended me five years ago while at a local 5k, has really helped me get involved in my local running community, even moreso than I ever have before. I am meeting so many awesome and inspiring people, and am seeing such great and new places to run! One of the people I have met, is an inspiring runner, by the name of Jennilyn Eaton. I was so inspired, that I dedicated an entire column on KSL to her. Here it is.

Some more good news: I just received word that I will be representing Altra Zero Drop shoes this year as an ambassador! I have done the ambassador thing before, and to be honest, I didn’t love it, and mainly because it was a product that I didn’t feel represented me. This time around, I am so excited to be representing a company that represents me. Its simplistic nature of getting back to the basics of running is what I love! I am also so excited to be on the same team as some of my good friends. What an honor.

Now, along with the sponsorship, comes more blogging! Yay! I will do better, I promise :). I hope to keep y’all interested!
