We had an eventful day.  My wife is really knocked out with end of pg stuff; with her getting up every hour or so, I didn't sleep all that well.  She woke up around six nervous/panicked about not feeling the baby move, but he perked up and quit scaring us.  I went for a run, with both of them on my mind.  Things seemed relatively settled, so I went to work.  Come to find out later, daughter got hit by a car while biking to dance, but luckily, no harm done.  She had a walk light, while the oblivious lady in the van was running a red.  Furthermore, after a nap, another daughter woke up with a 103 temp.  So...now I'm home from work and gotta get dinner going.  I'm glad I got a run in this morning.

When the clouds got thick enough in the western sky to block the sun, me and my running partner left home.  We traveled 3 miles before her tire was flat.  Nice stranger #1 let us pump it up.  Instead of heading home, we foolishly continued our quest, and by mile 5.5, she was flat again.  Nice stranger #2 provided a pump and we made a beeline for Smoot Park where the boys were playing tennis.  I dropped of my partner and ran the final 2 miles without a buddy.  Between whining, being thirsty and having a sore butt from the bike seat,  (Dad, my butt hurts soooo bad!!  time passes   Dad, how much my butt was hurting before, well, it hurts even more now!!)  the first miles were quite slow.  The last couple were faster, but less entertaining.  

I need to sign up for a half or full to give my training some focus, but I'm hesitant until this baby shows up.  TOU?  Pocatello?  Definitely not Layton again.

BST to Freedom Hills.  I added a trip up the switchbacks before heading home on Main.  There were a multiplicity of dragonflies this morning.  I also saw three other runners and several walkers enjoying the low 60's on the trail.

At 9:15 p.m. Jens set out on his bike with me to catch the fireworks up the hill.  3.85 miles up to find my family, watch a 35 minute fireworks display (awesome) and then run back down.  Between 800 S. and 500 S.  we passed 32 cars stopped up trying to get down the hill.  This may become an annual tradition, as long as I need to get in a run.
