Personal:

I have always been athletic, but started running more seriously at the start of 2007. I had to take a few months off in the summer and fall. I had twins boys in Oct 2007 (hence the time off). I lost a lot of weight when I had them, but managed to gain some of it back. We have a double stroller, which is the hardest workout when I take the boys for a jog.

I did this run in Hatch, Utah.  The weather was BEAUTIFUL for a run.... minus the mosquitoes.  I have probably 10 bites, two of which are over 3 inches in diameter.  Anyway, I left with my sister and we ran 3 miles.  It was a very hilly run, which was good for me.  I dropped her back at the house and continued out for another 2 miles.  I ran bast where my brother got hit by an antelope while riding his motorcycle.  I wanted to go more, but when I dropped my sister off, I knew breakfast was ready.  Plus Mik'L warned me about the altitude playing a factor, so it kinda played psyched me out (thanks Mik'L).  Anyway, it was a fun weekend with the family.

After my run though, I did screw up my back when I was holding one of the kids, and bent down to pick something up.  I couldn't do much the rest of the day.  It does feel a bit better, but I don't know if I should run :(
