This morning... ack. Oh man. I wanted to do a long run today. It was all set up to happen, I went to the gym and did the elitpical for 17 minutes and crunched my abs a bit. Mostly I just showed up there to talk to Julie and find my lost long sleeve shirt I left there (which somebody adopted grrr)

We went home and ran on the river trail together for 4 miles. Julie had a scary experience this week with a weird man on the trail smoking and looking for his oh-so-sad lost puppy. So this morning when we were running, we went on a less traveled trail and we smelled fresh burning cigarette. Nice. It kind of freaked us both out for a minute. We made it though. No heart attacks anybody.

Julie had already run 6 at the gym, so after 4 she was done. I continued on in same old Lily fashion, head phones on, pushing myself. I stopped home for a quick drink (ok ok, I had to pee too, lay off). There at home my hubby says he has to leave to get a haircut. What? Nice.  Oh yeah? Well cut this- you cut my long run short husband. You're cramping my style.  ha! :)   oh well. Life went on. Julie and I made up for it by going out all afternoon on fun errands. Good laughs and we got some awesome advice via runners corner. Nighty night all. zzzz

People in Utah smoke cigarettes?

Nice entry. This is good stuff.

Exactly the difference between us trail runners and road runners. We have to worry about wildlife, and you have to worry about "lowlife's". Ha! Nice run anyway, even though it was cut short.

How do you like your Kinvaras? I tried them on yesterday at the local running shop and ran on their treadmill for about 30 seconds in them. Does the minimal heel to toe drop affect you at all? I was thinking about getting a pair.

Burt people in Utah also drink jagermeister. LOL

LOL@Bryce. Funny funny! :) I do love trail running too. I found a place in Payson Canyon that I am going to try pronto. You guys are strong that's all I have to say. Another thing I noticed about trail runners, the dudes are all handsome and daredevilish. What is up with this?

I haven't noticed any affects from the heel to toe drop. They feel really good and are so light. The support is just what I need.

'Tis funny... I'm actually still laughing at YOUR comment.. Nothing worse then being CUT...Bryce - ya dang Hawk! Still having visions of that thing dive bombing...

I guess that'll teach ya to stop at home to pee :) NEVER go home until you KNOW you are done, and if you have to don't let anyone see you :) (lessons from a nursing mother/runner).

I've got clippers and I travel. Problem solved. Run on, Lily, run on.
