Thanks Mr. President......for the day off!

Lindsey and I celebrated Presidents Day with a long run. We are very fortunate to have my mom here and she was able to come by after work this morning which allowed us to pack up and drive South to the Bosque Del Apache Wildlife Refuge for a trail run. The trail is called the Chupadera Trail because it starts in the bosque valley and ends on the top of Chupadera peak, 6.5 miles and 1,715 feet of climbing later. The good part is that the second half is 6.5 miles downhill. I was proud of Lindsey for toughing it out, as it is not easy. We have tried it together once before but had to turn around before the "real" climbing even started. Today, there was no such thing, it was a beautiful, warm day and we were able to finish in 2 hours and 20 minutes. We changed at the car and had some green chili cheeseburgers at the Owl Bar and headed home to pick up Emma. Here are some pictures and I hope you enjoy and leave a comment. Lindsey has been doing really good with her running lately and I am proud of her.
