9:08 ap Finally, a day without a rain jacket and hat--no need. Thankfully, the morning was calm, and balmy and didn't start to rain until later in the day.  I feel so lucky to have those morning moments...the world is so good before 6 when you have it to yourself.

Started out slow, but ended ap 9:38.  Loving the green, and the lushness of the rain.  Even if it is inconvenient.

Ran 4 with Cath in the morning, we got a couple of solid 8:40's in there.  Love going 4 miles it makes me feel like a champion.  Ran another 3 up to the cemetary and back.  Found a new strap for my Garmin $19.99 instead of having to replace the whole thing.  Garmin also told me how to clean the connection points.  I'm glad.  I don't really want to buy a new Garmin, mine is only 4 years old.  Anyone seen anything about the running class at UVU? https://aceware.uvsc.edu/ShowSchedule.awp?&Search=KEYNAME&Target=runners&Title=Search+Results&Descript=Course%20Name%20Contains%20runners

Ran 5 w/ cath and the dogs in the morning....then up the hill for a better look at the valley & the lake before sunrise. So serene, so green.  The girls (dogs) were freaking out, poor little things hadn't been on a good run for a few days.  I have no AP because my Garmin gave up the ghost for the umteenth time.  But it's ok, I was in love with the Blue sky.  Finally! I have been controlling my freak-out over interminable rain.  But over the weekend, a group of my bestest friends facebooked me their shenanigans from Newport RI on Rapture day--sunshiney, beachy, balmy darling New England Resort town.  It broke me in half.  Monday, one of those friends showed up at my office with a beautiful pair of silver earings they picked out for me at a cool little shop there, to show me how much they wished I'd been there too.  I needed that blue sky in the morning today. Now I'm all better.

Ran with Cath and her sister Kendall  who just arrived from Atlata for a month's visit.  Cath's sister was an olympic figure skater (her skating pictures graced the downtown SLC buildings wrapped with photos of olympic atheltes).  Cath has said that her mother referrs to Kendall as the "pretty one" and Cath as the "smart one".  All I can say, is those are two pretty amazing girls.  AP 9:08 (Granny took it up a notch for the young'uns).

Kendall came with Cath and I to run Provo Canyon.  It's fun to have someone new around and hear what they have to say.  I felt bad though, going so slow.  I think Kendall might like to run faster, but I was tired.  Our ap was 10:13 (in spite of two 8:40's coming down the canyon). Then my legs were achy and a little sore the rest of the day.  Foam roller, foam roller, foam roller and iron......It worries me that running 12 isn't a treat after so many weekends of higher miles.  If I don't rock 12, then what for Utah Valley marathon? I should be running shorter races and do more speed work over trash miles.  Toward the end of the run Cath said her leg was twinging during the week.  Hmmm.
