I'll get a run in tonight - but just wanted to let Marion and Luz know I blogged in my Adventures in Running blog with pictures from yesterday's run.

PM - legs are pretty tired today.  I did a 5 mile loop that included the gym. One hour of weights for arms, shoulders, core and abs.  I was struggling through 21's on my biceps and a cute guy named Justin jumped in and started spotting for me.  We then alternated spotting each other for a while and he says he will show me some other exercises other days. He is training for his first competition in October. (sigh) ....If only he was 20 years older or I was 20 years younger.

Cute pictures :) You are such a great friend for running that with me :)

Who cares if he is too young ;) You can mold him ;)

Marion - I don't need to mold him. He made a pretty good mold out of himself. Very ripped.

Yeah - I can look, but can't touch. He reminds me of my son (cute and hunky) - but not in a motherly way.

Hey, looks like you're the newest member of the 'cougar club' :)

Thanks for posting the pictures of our memorial day run. Wasn't it a pretty day? My end of the trail has been breathtaking these past few days. Let's be sure do another run on one of your trails after our Utah County run.
