3.7 mile run around McKay Dee

Today our long run was a nice 3 miler but we stepped it up a bit and did 3.7. ooooh I know. We really pushed ourselves. :)

We ran from my parent's house to the McKay Dee Hospital trail and ran around it twice and then back to my parent's house. My sister Cami started out with us but only ran around once and then headed back. She's just getting back into running.

Before we started the run my dad said, "Brandy, you are going to like this trail." This might have been true had I actually been able to lift up my head and enjoy some scenery. I had to run the entire thing with my head down so I could watch out for slick snow and mud puddles. Normally I hate running around something twice. I need new things to look at to keep my mind off the fact that I am running. But this time it didn't bother me because I didn't see one thing except snow, mud, dirt, mud, snow, repeat! I didn't know I was going to run an obstacle course.

Actually it was a nice trail. Or I imagine it is. Mostly flat but we did hit hills on the roads from my parent's house and back. It was slightly raining too, but I don't mind this because it was warm enough.
