Warm morning (57) under clear skies. Slight breeze. I woke up a minute before my alarm went off, but I was hoping that I still had some time to sleep. I felt a bit more sluggish and achy this morning than usual, but started to feel normal about three miles into the run. Pushed it up the hill and back down, but not all out. Saw three deer by the side of the road having breakfast and  about a dozen walkers and joggers close to and along the creek trail. It was definitely a taste of summer this morning.

Nice run. I like your idea of "warm". It has to hit 70 down here before I'll call it that. Another month tho and I'll be wishing I could trade you places, by then it'll be just plain HOT! When is your next race?

Hi Carrie! My next big race is the Wasatch Back Relay on June 20, although I may try to fit in a couple of 5 or 10K's before then. Since I didn't get in to the SGM, I'm trying to make up for that by running more races. What are your plans?

Kerry I hope your week is going well. Since you haven't posted since Tuesday I was starting to worry about you!

It's just been kind of a crazy week...just getting caught up today. My daughter had a big video project that needed to be finished for her Chinese class on Thursday so I stayed up late editing it and just woke up in time to take her to school and to head off to work. Then it was come home , grab a V-8 for dinner and head to a stake meeting. I'm really looking forward to a holiday weekend!
