This morning I went to golds gym to warm up my muscles before I ran outside. I walked in around 5:40 and it was sooo humid! GROSS! Get me out of here! So I just ducked in, plugged my nose, and worked on the elliptical for 40 minutes. Then I lifted weights for about 20 minutes and rock and rolled my buns out of Golds. I came home and got my Garmin and Ran up the river trail. I did speed intervals for the first 25 minutes. 7:37 to a 6:20 pace. The last 30 minutes I just ran and got into my music. The sun was out and the sky was an amazing hue of blue. I saw a beaver just off the trail. At one point, I had to do a little maneuvering and scrambling as there was a tractor parked in the middle of the trail. It has been moving boulders back and forth trying to secure the rivers edge. They expect the banks to overflow this week. So I had to go up a steep hill and around the tractor in my path. Fun times. I love running this time of year outside and most especially I just love running. My parent's should've middle named me run. hehe

Provo city 5k on Saturday! My goal: crack the 20 min time again.

I think that something is going on with Lily.... two days in a row with no words???

Maybe she feels guilty for running while we rest in solidarity for Steam8 :)

I did indeed run outdoors in this most AWESOMEST weather. And yes, no novel today. I was in a major hurry this morning. Just got back from my sons hershey track meet. So funny watching kids run. If only they knew how to pace themselves. lol

Isn't your middle name run? Oh man, I thought it was!

Nice run Lily. Great paces and I love that you are willing to warm-up as well.

From Burt on Thu, May 05, 2011 at 16:48:26 from 206.19.214.144

You certainly got the runs. Nice beaver sighting.

lily run wheatfill -- nice job this morning on several things:

1 - surviving the humid gym (was it worse than the TOU tent?)

2 - beaver sighting

3 - maneuvering

4 - the novel -- i enjoyed it very much

you'll definitely crack 20 minutes on saturday. it's going to be great weather -- no snow this time! i'll be looking for you so we can enjoy a post-race apple together.

burt - separate apples. we would eat separate apples.
