Made up for yesterday with a run before church today.  Ran a totally different course with some good hills and felt great.

Kept a good pace today.  Got my first massage ever tonight.  My daughter is finishing up her classes to be a massage therapist.  We will see how I feel tomorrow.

Wow.  That massage last night left me tired and a bit sore this morning.  Got the miles in, but that is about it.

Took it easy today.  We went to Twin Falls tonight to stay with relatives so we could watch my youngest in a High School swim meet tomorrow.

Ran in a totally different place today.  Just took off on some farm road outside of town on a very nice morning.  Got chased by the same 4 dogs on way out and back.  Finished an 80-mile week feeling great!!!
