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: 5 on trails with pups + 2 on roads with hubby in ~12:08 avg pace. Avg heart rate: 144, Max heart rate: 175. Min elevation: 8,370'; Max elevation: 8,697'; 1,025' gain/loss. 

We are taking care of our neighbor's three pups until Sunday, one of which is our little one's (B pup)  sister (we will call her N pup). N pup is even more stubborn than B pup, so I decided to run with both of them on leash this morning. L pup and Q pup joined us off leash. B & N did pretty well, although they ran a little slower than I would have liked sometimes, so I ran into the back of them a couple times. We occasionally had to stop and check some pee mail or nibble on a flower, and sometimes B & N wanted to go in orthogonal directions- but for the most part, they ran side by side. Pretty cute. Got home and wanted to do another 5, I convinced my hubby to run 2 with me. On the way back from the little two mile loop I realized that my IT band was pretty tight and maybe I should just use the time I had to do some foam rolling. Plus, I skipped breakfast before the run and was starving at this point. Three largest toes on right foot are still numb and second toe on left foot is still a bit numb. They've been numb since the race on Saturday. Definitely an odd feeling.
