morning PT and pilates, then a run later on in the day when it was a tad bit warmer.

6 miles- 9:20 avg pace.  Wasn't feeling the love today during my run..... felt more like work

But I was happy to be out running and enjoying some sunshine.  Almost as much as I enjoyed the hot cocoa with gingerbread flavored marshmallows on top after.

Wyatt finally awoke from her viral induced sick bed & came on a run with me.  It was wonderful.  Beautiful outdoors.  Clouds low in the distance- we pretended they were really mountains.  At one point, it was Ayers Rock and we were out sweating in the heat of the outback.  It was like a "Mr Kruger's delusionally inspired daydream."

Our 6 miles grew into 7, and then we had to run to the bottom of the overpass & make it .18 more.  Marvelous, simply marvelous.

Speaking of marvelous, I woke up around 1:30 this morning and went out to see the eclipse.  It was still about an hour away, but I walked around the 'hood and watched the earth's shadow slowly creep across the moon.  There were lots of clouds out, so it was more like a "peek" at the moon for 1 minute, then wait 4 minutes to see it again.  Totally worth it.  When the moon finally was all in the earth's shadow, it turned a magnificient rusy red color.  I laid on the grass in my front yard and just stared at it for as long as I could. I had a good 10 minute window with no clouds at all. 

 Finally, the clouds came rolling in again, and the cold was starting to creep into my bones, so I went in & went to bed.  I am so glad I drug myself out at 1:30 to witness nature "do her thing."

I had an awesome run this morning with RAD and her local friends from the blog.  We ran along the river/parkway in Lehi.  It was beautiful, and lots of fun to listen to stories & get to know some of the other runners. 

We went out for 5 & back for 5.  Time flew by & it was over before I knew it.  Wish every run could be as easy as this one was.  I even forgot how cold it was outside- but not long enough to want to run in shorts :-)

Enjoyed visiting afterward with the hot cocoa and donuts.  Thanks to everyone who was there & was so nice.
