Run Derneld, Run!

Pleasantly surprised with how easy this felt.

Today was my 5th annual half marathon with my mom. This is the first time we haven't been able to participate in a race for our Mother-Son run.We parked at Snake River Landing and we each ran paths of our choice. We celebrated with Jamba. It was a good day with mom!

The days have been back and forth with my SI joint dysfunction. Some times I feel a constant nagging on a nerve. It is not quite pain, but is darn irritating. It's like someone has got a strong grip right on your most ticklish spot, and your leg can't move right because of it. This morning was not one of thos times, and this run felt great. After about mile 7, my legs suddenly loosened up a lot, and running became very easy and efficient.

In Cottonwood Heights today and tomorrow. Ran up to Ferguson Canyon. The last bit was very steep, and 100% on hands. Kind of fun. I missed a turn on the way down, and spent some time on "Top of the World Drive". That's a pretty good street name. Later, I hiked with the entire family on the "Living Room" trail next to the U of U. We had a few who weren't cut out for the hike. Some in our crew were just either too young (21 months) or too old (83 years). We all had a good time exploring the parts of the trail that were manageable.
