Joined Teena and Smooth (and Rylee and Larry) at Gold's Gym to do a sprint triathlon.  It was just what I needed!!  And it was so fun to see them. :)

My running isn't at it's greatest right now (understandably) so I find myself, like I did when I was injured earlier this year, not having as much motivation to work hard since I don't get out of my workouts what I really want (that burn in my lungs and the nice tired muscles from running lots of hard miles...etc.)  So this was fun to do and it helped revive things for me.  I tried to work as hard as I could, but there's just a "slug" factor I have to work against right now.  So considering, it was a good workout for sure!  I'm not sure that I'll ever race a triathlon, but it was still fun.  I'm still thinking I would prefer the simplicity of starting at the beginning of a race, running my heart out to the end, and then I'm done. =0) 

Thanks Teena!  I know she's really busy right now, so it was nice of her to do this with me. :)  And thanks Smooth and Larry for traveling all that way so you could come.  Let's do this again!

  • AM: 5.5 miles, 5th south loop

  • PM: Body Pump with my little sister and she signed up for a membership so we can go together all the time now!  (at Gold's) I'm so happy!

What a great run.  It's funny how sometimes if you want a good run, just have a hard run the day before.  That triathlon primed me just right!  I woke up feeling good and ready to run, so I was hoping for under 10 mins/mile and got 9:40. :)

  • 8.7 mile run, Pages Lane loop (felt wonderful and smooth...like I was glider girl :)...love my Hattori's!)

I ran from NSL to Bountiful to Centerville and the damage just got worse as I ran north.  A few crazy things on today's run:

  • branches, pine needles, shingles, garbage everywhere
  • random street light encasings here and there
  • power lines down
  • sidewalks completely blocked off from fallen trees
  • a house with it's front window completely blown out
  • large pine trees down everywhere
  • fences down and broken
  • several large trees down at the front of the Bountiful Cemetery
  • watching crews replace entire traffic lights that were just plain missing (those things are huge BTW, it was half the guy's size who was struggling to carry it across the road)
  • going to the bathroom in a pitch black restroom at the grocery store in Centerville because they were running on generators!  The poor employees had to wear gloves and coats

I feel bad for people who have sustained so much damage!  We luckily made it out with just a broken gate post and storm drain.  Our neighbors around us and some friends further north had some bad damage....so sad.  Hope you all were OK and didn't get any damage yourselves!
