I woke up a little earlier than planned and couldn't sleep, so I got up and went to the gym for 30 min and worked my core and a few weights. I left and stopped at the store for a few things (dinner roast mmmm). Well in the meat section some lady who was shopping looks over at me and says: 'My, aren't you up a little early to be out shopping?" Uhhhh, excuse me fatty McGee, aren't YOU up a little early to be out shopping? I was just at the gym, what's your reason? People seriously need to mind their business.

Went home and put my few groceries away and met Merri at 6. Away we went on the benjamin/lake shore loop. It's a 7 mile round trip. Miles 5 and 6 are straight incline and up a good sized hill and over the freeway. The wind was blowing against us and it was rough for a bit there. But we made it. Those inclines and hills with wind will only make us stronger. There was a little dog along that road that we thought looked like a wild rabid dog. He kind of chased is for a min there. (think pepper spray) :).

Dropped Merri off and I continued up the road for another mile.  I think this summer Merri and Lyns and I will all be back running together like the good old days (summer 09'). Good times.

I wonder if she's ever been to Walmart at 3 am?

I was up at 3:50 and could not go back to sleep. I was thinking, "I WISH I could go out and run!!!" LUCKY YOU!!!

NICE JOB TODAY!

Oh, and you get the best deals at 5 am at the store, right????

Lily, I wish I had your morning energy! I am still dragging myself around tryinig to get the kids out of here!

I love the good old days of running for fun with friends!! You will have a great summer of running/training with friends!! Training for St. George was one of my favorites!!

If I have to shop at Walmart, believe me, I go after the gym around 6:30. It's best that way. LOL

Kelli I keep hoping the best for you. I know you'll get better. I can't help but wonder if it was that Buffalo run that started your new little injury. Julie's husband Adam is having a few problems with shins now. I just can't help but wonder you know? And 5 am store deals. Sometimes I get the first pick of the meat they throw on sale :)

Funzo you crack me up!

Thanks Steam and Carina. I do tend to wake up most mornings feeling energized for my workouts. Somedays tho...zombie mode zzzzzzzzz :)

And running with Merri is good fun. We chat about EVERYTHING. Us chics like that sorta thing. And the beautiful views of Spanish Fork are amazing!

I feel kind bad for calling the nosey lady fatty McGee. Sorry you guys. :(

From Derunzo on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 11:22:16 from 64.56.60.130

She had it coming. Don't feel bad.... you'll lose your edge. Ha ha!

People, they're the worst!

Nice run.

wild rabid dog! running with merri! shopping for roast! i haven't had that great of a morning for quite some time.

From Merri on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 16:23:21 from 160.7.252.148

The best part is she did all this before 7 am. :) nice run Lily. thanks again for letting me tag along.

From Kelli on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 21:33:39 from 71.219.96.115

OH, I know it was the 50 miler. My calves cramped up BAD and I still ran another 32 miles. It put pressure on my achilles. THEN I only took 5 days off from running, which was a mistake, but I had a 50k to get ready for. THEN, the 50k just did me in. I was dumb, it is my fault! However, it is really minor compared to what others have dealt with (you included!)

When Smith's has really GOOD sale, I go at 6 am to get my pick of the stuff. They know me well.

MIKE, that is HILARIOUS!

From Lily on Wed, May 25, 2011 at 22:24:42 from 67.199.178.210

hahaha Rattle! Oh my, that is the funniest thing I've seen!!

From baldnspicy on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 22:29:00 from 72.77.76.85

Great job, Lily. I had insomnia until almost 4am Tuesday night and about 3:15 I seriously consider getting up and hopping on the bike for a little while.

Mike - we played that a few times when we lived in West Virginia. It wasn't much fun when someone yelled bingo before getting out of the car. Switched to blackout and we'd get inside the door.
