Mother, Run, Hike

This is from the Race that took place on September 24th. I'm behind on recaps.... I know what you are thinking "Sit still and write your recaps chica!" But I hope you know that, I have a hard time sitting still. I am a sucker for a great price on a race! Last year a local running friend put it on FB that Registration for the Great Race for $15 on December 31st ! I put it on my calendar and signed up for me and Roger. He didn't appreciate it very much when I reminded him the week before... but it's not my fault he didn't remember. Race Details Cost : $15 (Registered in December 31st). Goodies: Woman's cut, long sleeve tech shirt, in black! I love all of this shirt! Post race treats: oranges, bananas, Eat and Park cookies, and anniversary medal.

My co-worker is still waiting to hear from her Parents in Puerto Rico, we are all very worried for them, but they are said to be ok, just surrounded by water. On Thursday I got into a really stupid fight with Roger about dishes, we were supposed to run 3 miles together, but I was really mad at him, and refused to go with him to run. I ended up running at the ...

This past holiday weekend we crossed off two items of our Pennsylvania's Best Views , We visited Pittsburgh and Millersburg. On Saturday we took the long drive to Pittsburgh for the Incline. It was a long drive, filled with Starbucks stops. Double Purpose Frapp, using it to ice my shin splints    ** Tourist Warning** Duquesne Incline does not accept Credit cards. It's EXACT CHANGE ONLY , and there is no ATMs on the lower station, or nearby. We counted our quarters and headed up the incline. The wait and rude incline attendants were absolutely worth the view on top!     We climbed down the mountain after lunch and headed to explore some of Pittsburgh.     On Monday, we headed to Millersburg to check out the ferry. Megan graciously answered my questions about the ferry and other attractions around, thank you! This time we brought cash to pay for the Ferry. There were a group of motorcycles and two cars riding th...
