Training has been going well. I had two really good long runs the last two weeks. After it began to look like spring was coming, we got hammered with snow for about a week. But, we had a one day break in the weather where it warmed up a bit and I could get my long run in. After the snow lasted through the weekend, it began to melt early the next week, but I did end up running through the snow a bit. By Sunday, most of snow had melted so I decided to tackle a run starting in Austria and running back to Germany to work on my downhill technique. I didn’t realize how shady some spots were and there was still a foot of snow in places. I was able to cover the whole 12 miles, about 8 with wet feet, and then have the rest of the day to spend with the family. 

The next few weeks will be prep for the Flying Pig half marathon, then it will be full go again for Pitztal.

Easter was a holiday that we often spent with Dad’s family. It was a bit weird this year, with Dad being gone and last year was the first signs that there was hope that Dad would be okay. We got a few good days with him following Easter.

Thanks again to everyone who is supporting the effort!
