I had a resting goose egg today. I had every intention of running tonight but time just got away from me. Had a very long night's sleep, church, and then we headed down to Timpanogos. It was our first time down there to the cave. I had made a summit attempt a few years ago but going under with the family so so fun. I guess I did have a workout in that 75% of the way I carried my younger daughter. The great news is that my legs felt great on the hike despite the killer workout yesterday.

Glad your legs felt great! They may not have been running miles, but the miles you did put in hiking with your family were even better for your heart. I know the pictures gave mine a lovely workout. Thank your photographer for me. Love, Mom

Overall, it was a very fun filled weekend. Unfortunately that means it is going to be a work filled week but I guess that is the name of the game and totally worth it.
