I woke up and headed back over towards the Barrel Roll trail.  It is so nice having this very close to the house.  I went along the wash that ran along the mountain and headed out towards Utah Hill.  It reminded me a lot of Goblin Valley.  I came back and decided to run the opposite way of Barrel Roll.  It is so much easier to run this trail in the daylight.  I got up to a couple mountain bikers struggling up the hill (they were pushing their bikes!).  I felt a little guilty running by them but oh well.  It happened to be a fellow teacher I work with and her boyfriend.  I just love catching the mountain bikers to see their reaction.  

I figured out that if I put a little Redmond salt in my water it seems to help out a ton with feeling pretty good.  It doesn't taste that but it sure helps.  This run was a nice end to the week.  I felt pretty good about everything.  I wasn't feeling that great on Thursday so I didn't get a run in.  Oh well!

I got a massage from April this afternoon and it felt awesome to great everything fixed and ready to go again.

Great run...passing bikers on the uphills is very motivating!

Keep up the great work.

Redmond salt? Next thing I know you'll be running the Provo River trail everyday.
