8 miles in the late evening.

I can't remember the last time I slept in so I figured I out to do it this morning.  I was extremely tired and I wasn't not feeling like running at all.  My legs could use the rest so I wasn't too concerned.  We had the first XC meet of the year for Desert Hills.  It was loads of fun.  I am very excited for this season.  3 of my girls placed in the top 8.  The girl who took second was right up with the front runner.  The boys did well also.  We are young and this was the first XC meet for many of them.  I am really looking forward to the meet on Saturday at Hurricane.  I need to scope out the 3A competition. 

I was so motivated by my kids that I went out for my run when I got home kind of late.  I ran 8 miles up into Kayenta.  The moon was out and it was extremely beautiful and serene.  I could have kept on running for a while but I needed the sleep.  I miss the occasional late evening run.
