Happy Memorial day everyone!  

We are still in St. George (actually driving home now as I type this), so I decided to get up and run this morning.  I usually run on Monday's and so I didn't want to lose a day of running due to leaving today. However, I really wanted to sleep in too (day off work, in St. George, on vacation, why not!?!) so I did.  However, I wish I'd gotten up earlier because BOY, was it HOT!!!  I didn't leave the house until almost 8:30 and so a mile in, I was sweating to death.  This comes from a girl who does not run well in heat and traditionally I don't sweat that much while I am running, only after I stop, so I was shocked to see how much I was really sweating.  However, I was up, and out running so I had to make the most of it.  I just ran around some neighborhoods and out to a main road and back.  Again, it was a very beautiful morning, just very hot.  I got home and got right to work getting things ready to load up and head home.  We had a wonderful time in St. George and enjoyed spending time with our boys.  We did lots of sight seeing, hiking, swimming, and eating.  It was a great start to what we hope is a great summer!!

Hey Kellie, I know I finally started a running blog in the hopes that I can gain some motivation. I really miss having great people to run with and keep me going. Running just hasn't been the same here! So I'm hoping this will get me reconnected with it all. It seems like you are doing amazing and running so well. You just keep getting better and better. How fun for you guys to head off to St. George whenever you want. We miss the red mountains of St. George. Hopefully one day we will be back! I'm glad you guys had fun.
