My running friends met at 6:00 a.m. to run to the top of City Creek and back. Since I work late nights, I decided to sleep in and run on my own later. On Saturday I sacrificed sleep to run early, and consequently had a rough night at work. My coworker told me I kept losing my balance and running into walls......he may have been exaggerating. Needless to say, sleep is a high priority for me.
I ended up getting up at 7:00. I wanted to sleep longer, but my kitties had other plans for me. They get really active whenever I sleep, so they decided it was play time and attacked my pillow and my hair. Then they gave me an innocent look as if they were saying, "Oh, did we disturb you?"
I drove to Ruth's Diner and ran up Emigration Canyon and back. It was sprinkling most of the time. My last three miles, the rain was coming down pretty hard. A woman drove up to me and asked if I wanted a ride. I noticed she had already picked up another runner. I was almost done, so I thanked her and went on my way.
I felt really good for the whole run, maybe because I didn't push as hard as I usually do with my friends--they are super fast!
