Actually slept 7 hours straight last night.  Oh my is that what it is like to sleep ?    Since the weather is too spectacular I dragged my poor husband, literally on  the same run as Monday, but backwards.  So lovely even this way.  But not to Troy in the least.  We ran a slow pace of 9:40 to 10 minute miles to Lone Peak where I let him take the short way back.  I kept going North.  Ran the 11 miler but of course I had to "beat" Mondays time with a surplus of 5 to 7  minutes at this point running very slowly for the first 4.5.  So I picked it up nearly sprinting at the end to come in 24 seconds ahead with a last mile time of 6:24.  Ran a  0.7 mile cooldown in post long run puke mode.  That felt nice.  Then I went to acupuncture for my allergies.  Can't eat for three hours and I am starving already with two hours to go.  Part of the purity of the Sensitivy Removal Therapy I had done.  Next  Wednesday she introduces the perfumes etcc.... that I am highly sensitive too.  I sure hope it works.   Average pace for 11=  8:16.

Wow! you drag your husband out to run "backward"! :) haha!

Hope the Sensitivity Removal Therapy is working!!! In a good way of course! We want you to remain a sensitive and sensible person that you are; just not sensitive to the allergens. :) hehe!!!

NICE run and way to "beat" Monday's time!

That is funny how I wrote that Smooth : D

Melanie, we are running 13 to 14 Saturday at 730am. We want to go when we can actually see the beauty all around us : D. Hopefully it is light then. Meet at my house and Kim will meet us at the Stop sign at 7:35am. I hope I am awake. I never even got tired tonight at work. Will fade in an hour (730am, yikes).

Julie,

So glad you got some sleep, , , it does wonders doesn't it? I sometimes wish I were a kid again and could eat and sleep all I want, , ,but kids never want to do either! They don't know what they are missing :)

Nice run in such beautiful weather and nice way to beat your Mon time, I love that Mon you added on an extra 8 miles ha ha :) That means you truly love the feel of running!
