Easy week for me. Lots of r&r as I was feeling pretty beat up from the two long runs so close together. I took the week off and have not felt so recovered and ready to run in weeks. Looking forward to a good week running for next week and starting to train up for the Squaw Peak 50 (I better get in!)
Spent most of the day watching the little dude and doing much neglected yard work while my awesome wife went to Orem to race in a sprint triatholon. This is her thing, and she is good at it! We have a place in our kitchen where we hang various running metals and junk. Between the two of us it has become quite a collection. I have contributed lots of finisher metals and a few age group place metals. But as for my wife's contribution, pretty much if you picked up any metal with a 1st-3rd on it, there would have at least an 80% chance that it belonged to my wife. Let's put it this way (I'll brag on her a bit, she is such a natural athlete) she decided last night at 9:00 PM to do this race, I got her bike ready, and it had been so long since she had ridden it that both tires were completely flat and it was covered in dust. She hasn't swam a stroke in at least a year, and just started running again 2 weeks ago. Well, today after the race she came strut'en into the back yard with a 1st palce age group metal around her neck. Another one for her on the wall of fame. I'm so proud of her, but geeze, sometimes it's just doesn't seem fair!
I did get a hour run in on the trails. Perfect weather, perfect day! |
