Picked up Les after work and we did the 6 miles of the Cottonwood Trail together. We hiked the 3 miles uphill and visited as we ran. It took a little over an hour to get up. Then, we ran down and finished the entire run in 1:35.

It felt so good to be back on trails and running again. I was really 'hungry' after my forced layoff and today felt absolutely wonderful. These are the kind of days that make the drudgery training days all worthwhile. Lots of sun (ok - it was a little bit hot), good friend, good trail, ice water, a beautiful stream to run by and not a lot of road noise.

Thanks, Leslie! (I did get my snowcone - and didn't have to wait).

Thanks Maurine, it was a great run, It was fun to see you right back in the ball game, your surgery didn't seem to put you back, I had a great time. I am so glad you are moving to SLC so we can run together more often. I think we looked liked the Bobsie Twins, both of us with short red hair and pink shirts!!!

Aren't those great snowcones?

What a beautiful run! Don't you feel so brave and courageous when you hit the trail and run around like kids. It is so liberating and exhilarating!

Way to go girls.
