  • 5 miles on the Boulevard, 9:11 AP even with the hills!  Fastest ever post-baby Blvd run
  • abs with 2x1 min planks

Interesting experience...I couldn't get out for a run until 9:45am and I actually felt more like just going down on the TM do get my run in!  That's never happened before. =0)  Looks like me and the TM have come to terms with each other.  But I made myself go outside since Saturdays are one of the few days I can do that and I'm glad I did, it was a good run.  It was beautiful outside and my legs felt really strong and springy so I decided to go fast.  I got my speed down to 6:50's on the downhills and tried to keep the flats under 9:00 and then power up the hills as best as I could. 

Excited to read the reports for Top of Utah!  Hope everyone had a good time.
