Catherine came and we started our run in the dark. The moon cast blue light on the trail and made 'moon shade' from the tree branches.  It only lasted for 2 miles, then as it became lighter we were down by the lake  and watched as the clouds in the East, hugging the mountain tops, turned pink. Sunrise is one of the most spectacular things about being alive as far as I'm concerned.  I adore the sensation of being outside to witness it, and feel as if it is for me alone.  The lake was really still, not a wave or ripple on the surface.  The morning was very warm.  As we ran back, Catherine began to speed up, and I didn't mind so I went along with her pace.  But then I paid for it all day long.  My knees and hips were achy and sore. I had to get to Thanksgiving Point by 8:15 a. m. because I was putting on our first ever Kidney Walk.  It was a really fun event.  About 200 people showed and Charley's Hot Subs came and made hot steak and chicken sandwiches for everyone (the franchise owner donated his kidney to an emplyee last January).  My legs were tired to the bone by the end of the day.  I dropped into bed at 9:30 p.m. dead asleep.

I was down in Lehi on the JRP Saturday morning as well! We remarked how beautiful the sunrise was as well. On some turns you could see the reflection on the river - WOW! Totally worth it.

Nice run, as usual Luz! You are doing great recovering from your amazing race!!
