Today was a recovery run/zombie run. Just putting one foot in front of the other. I woke up before my alarm, but just didn't have any leg energy. I was entertainment for Trax Zombies heading to Salt Lake - looking like they were heading to prison.....

I decided one road I ran on is not a good choice. All the school bus drivers heading out on their routes paid no attention to me in all my reflective/flashing thingies and I had to duck away from 2 of them that were about to hit me.

Clothing issues - I had on my arm warmers under my long sleeved running shirt and a running vest on (plus shorts, etc). About 2 miles in, I was getting too warm, so took the vest off for half a mile - but then my body started getting cold, so put it back on and ran without my gloves the last 1.5 miles. Maybe if I put the arm warmers on over the shirt I could pull them off. I'll have to think about it.

12:06, 12:43, 13:13, 12:46

Breakfast - sauteed some peppers, a can of mushrooms, two eggs. Throw in a thermos and I will add some whole wheat toast and a glass of milk at work.

Your entry was intersting to read, Trax Zombies going to work, like heading off to prison. I am so glad I can stay home and work! And I love my work!

I think you did great on the clothes, layering works! And your breakfast sounds yummy!

I did the zombie runners shuffle this morning, it felt good, no pressure just enjoyed my morning run, I am saving up my strength for Sat. so you don't totally leave me in the dust!

You put the arm warmers on, you take the arm warmers out, you put the vest on, and you shake it all about... hehehe...

Yummy breakfast!! My biggest problem is the whole hot cold thing in the winter. Freezing one spot, boiling in another. Never perfect! Then add the CRAZY Utah weather,hot cold hot cold, and we are up a creek! My sister is living in Hawaii- 75-85 degrees all the time. I am moving!

Where in Hawaii? 3 of my 4 kids were born there. We lived in Laie while my husband was in school. I would move back in a heart beat! My hubby won't leave SLC, born and raised here....what a freaking rut!!

I forget the name of the town, but they are right by Hunama (sp?) bay. Her hubby is doing the elections for the state of Hawaii

So is it a temporary position? Have you been over to visit yet? ARe you? You can't NOT go, it would be very rude not to visit your lonely sister. Island Fever can be very difficult, bless her heart! GO!
