Total Distance

13.00

Got up early once again before more festivities with the family started. Their are about 30 people staying at my parent's house. It is pandemonium all over. I had to wear a light beanie this morning because the weather was pretty cold. I went out into Ivins and was feeling alright after yesterday's wonderful holiday so I decided to take it easy the first 4 miles and then really let the horses out for the last 3. The wind was blowing a bit but I didn't want this to deter me from anything. My last 3 mile splits were: 5:41, 5:27, and 5:17. I did the run at 6:07/mile pace overall. I went paintballing with my family and I realize why I run. I got hit in the back, top of the head, and on the arm. I have a bump on the head and then a huge welt on my back. What a day! I got home and went out for another 6 miles. The wind was blowing all over and I swallowed a bunch of red sand. I am being punished for something. I did the run at 6:39/mile pace overall. I was happy to be done with this run. It was not very fun. Hopefully tomorrow will be better with Clyde.

With miles like that, maybe I'm glad I'm not there for tomorrow's run! As always, you are my hero.

We're glad your heart is fine. And very glad you are not pregnant. Otherwise... well, things might be weird between you and the other guys.
