Okay, this wasn't all at one time, because I had to leave to go pick up my daughter. First run was my typical 7.75 mile hilly loop: to capital, then up to the 1.5 mile marker in city creek canyon, then home. Then I left to pick up my daughter, and decided I should try eating something before my next run, so I had a 3-4 handfuls of raisins (I heard they give runners energy?) and a small glass of 1% chocolate milk. Felt kind of nauseated while in the car. Got back home an hour later and headed out for the second run. Didn't want to hit the hills again, so I ran about 1/4 mile to the Terrace Hills soccer field and ran 3 more miles on the paved path around the soccer field. This second run went pretty good; my body kind of protested when I started running again, but that feeling didn't last too long. This second run wasn't as scenic and serene as my first run, but it was pretty nice running three miles on a flat path without hills!! It was a gorgeous running day in Salt Lake City, a little cool and breezy - but pretty darn nice!!
