Kerry's Running Blog

Left the house about 6:15 am. Brilliant moon with partly cloudy skies (27 degrees, 65 percent humidity). Looks like it rained/snowed a little bit overnight as there were little patches of ice all over. Saw seven other runners this morning, which is a new record for this year. Didn't push it too hard, but put in a reasonable effort (8:51 average). 

A great morning to get out for a run. It was still kind of cold and there's still snow on the lawns, but the roads and much of the trails were clear. Had a little more time so I looped around the Highland Glen pond, even though part of the trail is still icy. Didn't see any other runners out this morning.

Didn't really sleep well last night. Went to bed a half hour later and was awaken when Brittany got up at 5 (to complete some homework, I'm guessing). Didn't sleep soundly after that. Dragged myself out of bed at 6:15 and was running by 6:30. Only had time for a short loop around the HS. Average pace 8:52.

Took yesterday off to catch up on some sleep, but was still feeling a bit sluggish this morning. After a mile or so, I started to feel better and gradually picked up the pace. I'm glad I got out when I did as the wind started to pick up shortly after I got back and it was starting to rain/snow as I was leaving the house. Hoping to get five or so in with Laureen tomorrow morning.

Ran along the golf course trail up to the mouth of American Fork Canyon with Laureen. The sun broke out from time to time and made things very pleasant.
