Good thing that today is the preplanned rest day!  I spent almost 11 hours driving in the car with my two kids to go visit Grammie in the mountains.  I actually had a wonderful time the kids were dang near perfect for the trip and I listened to The Host by Stepbanie Meyer, my only regret is that I forgot my i-pod so I can continue to listen to it during my runs this week.

Found out I have a running partner here.  My little brother says he will come run with me.  But I have a feeling I will only have my partner for the first run.  I don't like  running here, it's just two darn hilly, think East side of Salt Lake Valley but worse, more like living in Emmigration Canyon. Hill will humble me, Hills will make me stronger, Hills will make sure I don't beat my recent 5k time again, and THE HILLS WILL NOT WIN!
