Personal:

Geologist, backcountry skier and hiker, cyclist, occasional rock climber, and yogi. I enjoy traveling, cooking, knitting, reading, music (learning the guitar and piano- and listening to a wide variety), and working on our house. 1 significant other, 2 dogs, 1 cat.

AM: Easy 5 on trails with pups in 12:27 avg pace. Avg heart: 145, Max heart rate: 167. Avg elevation: 8,500',810' gain/loss. Legs were tired and heavy this morning so I took it really easy. May drop back to only 3-4 miles tomorrow morning to hopefully have fresh legs on Saturday. Also made the mistake of eating banana and peanut butter sandwich about 15 mins before the run. Definitely was hard on the stomach for the first mile or so. I usually have a snack before I run + 1 cup of coffee, but I was starving this morning. First run back with B pup after her spay. We are a day early, but her stomach looks good and she is just a ball of energy (sprinting laps around the house last night), so I took a gamble this morning and figured she could handle an easy run in the woods.

 PM: Easy 2 with hubby and pups. The hubby wants to get back into running so I suggested we start with an easy two mile loop after work every other day for the next few weeks. He will be running faster and longer than me in no time.. he's just one of those people that are even in shape when they think they are out of shape. Insanely jealous of his genetics.
