weird winter

As a thru hiker I came home feeling indomitable.  To stay fit, trim and in shape I decided to train for a local half Marathon.  On my third day of training I tripped with my mp3 in hand and fractured my fifthe metatarsal, ouch.  I could still run with it.

Jayhawk ran on the middle school cross country team and we ran several 5 K's and a trail run.

I kept training and was running up to 8  miles when on January 13th I tripped on my stairs and broke both feet! I had to stay on one floor of my house in a wheel chair for 8 weeks!oiiiii!  The left foot had to be surgically put back together.

So I just got permission to walk in a cast last thursday.  We are heading to Colorado and Utah on 3/14 for a hiking and skiing trip.   I may be a lodge bunny.

Kevin has two books coming out this year.

The three of us are sooooooooo anxious to get back on the trail.  In June we will be starting at fish lake in OR then head north to Canada.  I hope we will see all of you again.
