AM: (1:06:54, 7.5 miles). Ran a hilly loop from my house up Virginia to 11th to City Creek Canyon then up 2nd. Felt really good today (a day off and sleeping in your own bed does wonders!). Just as I started my run these young guys from either Judge High or East High were running past my house. I ended up seeing them as I finished my run too - they were walking up one of the hills near my house and I past them. One of them decided to race me and sprinted by me! I laughed and said, "yes, but you had a rest!" - he said I needed to work on my sprint (I think that is what he said) -- this is probably true!
I have to run home today because Dean and I are having a string of bad luck and BOTH of our cars died last night!! Dean has some sort of electrical problem and my car overheated last night on the way home - it took me 1 1/2 hours to get 5 miles (because I would get 5 blocks and would have to stop and let it cool - then get 5 blocks ... etc.). I would have walked/ran home, but I had two dogs and groceries in the car. It was funny because I was upset with Dean for being unreachable - then I found out he had to run from work because his car wouldn't start (and this was after he had run 9 miles on the Dry Creek trail!). Anyway, I am not actually pre-blogging - but rather just estimating for myself how many miles I will need to run this evening! PM: (30:36, 3.5 miles) - nice easy run home. A little stiff at the beginning but felt pretty good at the end.
Happy Tuesday Bloggers. |
