I ran 6.25 on a trail near the Santa Clara river this morning in St. George. It was 53 degrees this morning when I headed out. So warmish and very beautiful outside. I saw roadrunners and jack rabbits all along the trail. This was my first outdoor run of 2011 and first outdoor run since November 26th 2010. I was followed up the trail by a hot air balloon. I looked up and they waved, so I threw out the 'seattle" sign a few times for good measure :) I noticed that I did not hurt in my injury area at all running outside this morning. Nothing hurt. It was slightly hard because of a lack of outside fitness, but I was very impressed with how I felt. So, I have concluded that I need to get outside from now on as I return back home to Utah Valley today. I need to build up my outdoor endurance -and it's that time of year.
Great run, great vacation, spending time with family is always fun. Good times!
