6 miles in the morning.

6 miles in the afternoon.

I ran this morning over into Santa Clara and then back to the house.  The moon was out which made it really easy to see the road.  Perfect temps this morning.  I can't complain about anything.

I ran another easy 6 miles this afternoon along Snow Canyon Parkway while Katey biked alongside me.  We had a great time talking about baby things and just enjoyed the wonderful weather.  Not really liking how quickly it gets dark.  Nice to get a double in today.  Great start to the week.

3.5 miles in the afternoon.

3 miles in the evening.

Nice and easy run this morning.  Temps were awesome once again.  I ran this afternoon up along the Arizona Strip right before Parent/Teacher Conferences.  I got home later than originally planned but ran up to the elementary school so I could vote and then came back home.  I'm sure the elderly women were wondering what I was doing with shorty shorts on to come and vote.  I enjoyed the reaction I got from them :)

8 miles this evening.

I had Parent/Teacher Conferences again this evening.  I was a little tired when I got home but I needed to get out.  I went over into Santa Clara and did a little route which isn't too demanding.  I was in a short sleeve shirt at 8:30pm.  The weather down here is incredible this time of year!

12 miles in the evening.

 I needed to hit the trails today so I decided to wait until after work to go and get my run in.  I got home and it was already dark so I made sure I grabbed my headlamp and then went over to the Barrel Roll trail.  I did 12 miles in the pitch black dark.  It was something totally different but really quite fun.  I might do these every once in a while.  I just need to make sure I take it easy.  My depth perception isn't the best when it is dark.  The run felt good though!

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.
