I ran 12 miles the other day out on the Kokopelli trails in Loma. Matt had the day off, and the kids were in school for the morning, so we had a date (fear not- he was riding his bike- not running)! This date did not involve sparkles, but I totally rocked the sweatpants. Last time I tried to run this particular route was about 10 years ago, when I could just get up and go for a long run. It was summer, and my dad, brother and I took off for a run/bike ride. By the end of the run I was a little too dehydrated, a little too hot, (OK maybe it was heat exhaustion) and let's just say it was not pretty. I ended up barfing all over myself, wiping my face with my shirt, throwing my shirt in the back of the truck and traumatizing my brother as I rode sans shirt, smelling like barf/sweat, smooshed up next to him on the bench seat.
But I fear Mary's loop no more! I completed my 12 miles without the barf (40 degrees cooler does wonders for a run in the desert), and my date still took me home- even without the sparkles!
