Yesterday I had my husband work on my legs after my run. After some pain and some nausea they felt much better. Then I spent 3.5 hrs in a car traveling to Cedar to meet with a client, another 3.5 hrs sitting in a room the size of a walk in closet, 3.5 hrs driving back to Salt Lake and then another 45 min chasing kids all over the place. By the end I my thighs were on fire, so some more massage and scrapping before I went to bed. Got up today they were not on fire but made of lead. OH the dead legs!! They were so heavy and not wanting to move for 6 miles! UGH! The run itself wasn't to bad but my legs were so tired. Good news was that I wasn't feeling dehydrated and my stomach cooperated.

Now for the big news: After 14 yrs of working at the Deseret News my husband is changing careers. He has been very happy there but with the layoffs that are coming in July, he started looking early. He has accepted a position working for the Utah Blaze as the Director of Communications.  This is very exciting for our family but change is always scary. It will be nice to have him home in the evenings and have a more structured family life.   We are not quite sure at this point how it will affect my job (he has always been home during the day to take care of the kids) but over the next couple of months we will see what happens.

Great run today. You did great and I couldn't tell you were slow because you kept me racing to catch you. Have a good day. See you in the morning.

You are a true devoted runner to get out this morning! Great job!

Exciting news about your husbands new job. Change is hard. I hope the transition goes smooth.

Congrats on the Job. Hopefully we can get an NFL team here someday and he will be set! You will have to get used to the hour changes but once you do it will be back to normal for you. Let me know when youd like to run again. Paula had blogged me also so we can all get a good run in. Have fun, see you.

Paula & Linda - Thanks so much!!

Walter - Thank you, I am for a run anytime - maybe you need a real low key recovery run from WBR. Let me know and we can arrange something.
