For the past 13 weeks, Susan and I have been training to run the Sawtooth Relay on June 8. There are six women on our team — Divas En Fuego, which means Women on Fire. Five of us got together yesterday for a Saturday morning group run in the foothills above Boise. Temps were in the low 50 degree F range, making for ideal running conditions as the sunny spring forenoon started to brighten and gently warm up. We completed the 7-mile Hulls Gulch loop together.

These shoes were made for running.
