Like I said, nothing to get excited about, but I wasn't pushing too hard.  I did an additional 3 mile walk with my very pregnant wife, but I won't count those miles.

9 miles today, 3 of which were speed.  I'm pretty happy with the speed results.  I'm still not going all out on the speed, just trying to break the body back in.

mile 1 in 5:59

Mile 2 in 5:42

Mile 3 in 5:33

 

My wife was involved in a accident today while I was at work.  I was notified that she had been in a head on with a semi, the front end of the vehicle was gone and nobody knew if she was ok.  I was pretty nervus.  She was picking the kids up from school, is pregnant, and had the neighbor kids with her.  I left work to the accident at about 90 miles an hour, only to pass her coming home about mid way.  It's amazing how things get worse when they get passed on from one person to another.  Everyone one was ok, thank the Lord.  There is about $5,000 in damage to the 4Runner, but it's only a vehilce and it's insured.  Come to find out, there wasn't even a semi involved. 

My wife is a little shook up, but fine.  The kids didn't even know they had been in an accident, thank God  for seatbelts. 

All in all a pretty eventfull day.

Took the 4Runner in for an estimate on the body work this morning.  We've decided to drive it until they get the parts in and are ready to work on it.  While waiting in Kanab for the estimate, I decided to go for a run.  I didn't have a lot of time, but it was a new place to run.  I ended up running on a dirt trial called "Squaws trail".  It was steep and fun.  It took me up a mountain and overlooked the city.  It was a little slow going, but worth it.
