Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

Mostly solo miles today.  One mile with my doggy.  Beautiful morning under the Super Moon!  But also light from the long day's of June sun!  Not much to complain about on a day like today!

Tom and I went out to "third hill" to do some long hill repeats today.  There is always more traffic than I would like there, but I guess it IS a road and I shouldn't be bugged that cars use it.  

I did 6 repeats.  It always feels good to get a hill work day done.  When I got home I took my doggy out for a walk.  I ran into some neighbors (Marianne and Cindy) and had a nice visit with them for about a mile and a half.  Got the scoop on Kimberly (Marianne's daughter) and her upcoming wedding plans.  Very nice visit. 

Thought I'd run with JaNae an Jody today but they weren't at the designated meeting spot.  Did they not run today or did they ditch me?  That is the question.

Six miles around the hometown of Manti.  Came down with my youngest daughter, Tia and also Cynthia Clark and her daughter, Olivia.  We enjoyed watching the Mormon Miracle Pageant.  Tia stayed awake for the whole thing for the first time and finally understood what the story is all about.  

I woke up at 5:30 and went out for a fun run down memory lane.  Lots of people ran through my mind as I scoured the town.  I took time down around the temple and stopped at the cemetery to spend a few quiet minutes with my big brother that I really miss.  Very peaceful at the base of the beautiful Manti Temple though. 

Got home late last night so I wasn't looking forward to setting that alarm clock for 4:30 am.  But my head hit the pillow and I was alseep till the sound of the beep!  I felt refreshed but had a bit of an upset tummy.  

Tom and I didn't find anyone else at the meeting spot.....that is not good.  Tom is good at running long alone but I like to have company.  I knew he wasn't going to be running my pace so I thought I had a bunch of miles alone ahead of me.  He would go ahead quite a bit and then turn back to me and take off again.  Luckily down in the river bottoms we ran into Todd and he joined in with me.  He is a good talker and kept me going.

I got home with 13 and planned to take Rui for one mile.  Kay was out there and Rui and I joined her for 2 miles.  She does power walking/jogging so it wasn't a hard run but it was miles and they are mine!  Very nice to be with her again.....miss her lots!
