Ran the river trail with Lilly this morning. Felt so so good. It's morning like that that makes you fall completely in love with running all over again.
So last weekend I did my first real hard core trail run down in Sunny St. G. I went with my hubby, our friend James, and a guy called Cameron, and an ultramarathoner, Jared. I was slightly in over my head, but so fun. We did 12 miles total. At one point, we gained 600 ft of elevation in .5 mile. Somewhere with about 8 miles to still run, I tripped over some lava rock and biffed it. I was not about to be the weany girl who quit, so I finished the run but I have been pretty sore since.

Adam and I at the top about to head into Snow Canyon.

Jared, Adam and I right before the fall. See all those sharp nasty lava rocks. Not my friend. Luckily for me, Jared tripped right before this so I didn't feel like the only clumsly one.
 
There is only about half my owies. Now 5 days later, my whole leg is dark black and blue. Am I tough or what? :)
Seriously one of the best vacations I ever had. All I am sayin' is why go on a cruise when you can go running? |
