I'm in trouble. It was strongly pointed out to me that my definition of 'fairly flat' and my wife's definition do not match. She said she was tired from our weekend trip, but was bored with our regular route. I suggested a new (to her) route. She asked if it was flat. I responded 'fairly flat'. She was not pleased, but it was a great run and great workout with lots of cardio. 5.75 miles with a 'few' hills.

4 miles on the canal road with my wife. She thought she would try to beat me to our turn-around point. My competitive side kicked in and we both picked up the pace. Killer mosquitoes, had to outrun them too. Fun run.

6 mile run. My wife wanted to 'change it up' so we ran the roads into Brigham City, ate dinner and ran back. When you know you have to run after eating it really makes you watch your portion sizes. I didn't want to see my dinner again on the way home. We did have a fun time.
