Running and Laughing through the Golden State
Running and Laughing through the Golden State
After nordic skiing, we stopped at Ruth’s Diner near Salt Lake City. It’s not actually in the downtown but located in the mountains close by. It has a gorgeous view and probably one of the best views from a diner. Although, River Star Diner has a great view.
I was excited to try the Saucony Freedom 4. I’ve run in the Freedom since the original. Since then, the Saucony Freedom has gone through a lot of changes. In fact, Saucony in general has, and these days the Freedom can get lost in the mix.
LOL. My slowest half marathon in over a decade. I knew going into the Carlsbad Half Marathon would not be pretty. I’m not sure I fully anticipated my slowest half marathon in a decade, but it is what it is. I know I gave it my best for the day.
As I continued trying new hydration products, I found myself trying Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration. I bought it in hopes of finding something new that would keep me hydrated in whatever I was doing, whether that was hiking, running, swimming, or just living life.
Recently I started learning to nordic ski. It is not a surprise to many that winter is not really “my thing.” After going to college in upstate New York, where the weather was often below zero and too cold for snow, my days of winter could be done and I wouldn’t mind.
My spouse was a competitive nordic skier. After college, we moved to Texas, New Jersey, Northern California, and finally Southern California. Nordic skiing in Texas and New Jersey was next to impossible, so he didn’t.
