RHR - 47

Nice day of rest. Walked the puppy for 2 miles this morning.

Just got back from a dinner in SLC with my dad (right at the start of the steep downhill we ran by on Thursday, Marion). It was a combination 70th birthday party for one of my old Stake Presidents and a reunion of a lot of the former stake members from the 60s and 70s in Chicago.

Didn't feel like running this morning, so read my scriptures and went in to work early. I was glad later that I ate a bigger than normal breakfast. I had a contractor in to work on one of my big projects today and he is soooo good at his job. However, we ended up working from about 8:15 until 2:45 without any real breaks or lunch.

Came home and ate a huge lupper, then cleaned my house while it digested.

Went to Gold's Gym and did some speed work on the treadmills - 5 miles total.

Walked the puppy 1.5 miles - my feet are hurting from my FiveFingers. Twilight was hilarious chasing all the fuzzy dandelions.

Walked the dog this morning for about 20 minutes.

After work - walked her for another mile or more.

Tonight I ran 6.1 miles. My Garmin needed charging - so actually had to use mapmyrun.com. Slightly under a 11 minute mile average (67 minutes).

Felt like a superhero at work solving crimes and issues all day.

PM - walked the dog

Ran down to the Trax Trail and along it for 3 miles. Then I headed off on the Dimple Dell Parkway (this is the start of it) and ran it up to 7th East. Did some bushwacking to get up the hillside, then ran 7th East to the gym (4.7 miles total).

Did an chest and back workout.

Ran 1.3 miles home for a total of 6 miles in 1:12:00.

After I eat my bizarre dinner of tuna fish on cinnamon burst bread - I will let it digest, then do some yoga and pilates and stretching.

I'm definitely going to have to run at lunch time today.

My right eye healed a lot during the winter so that I was not getting the tearing of the cornea when I woke up - however last night I got a stabbing pain when I woke up - so had to get some lubrication in there and need to start doing that religiously each night at bedtime.

My legs are aching a lot today - but I think that is from a combination of the strength training on Wednesday and yoga last night (lot of leg stretching).

Walked the puppy before work.

I took off work before noon today and rested in bed for a while. Then I got ambitious around 3:00 and headed off to the mountains. Picked up Odee from Leslie's house and ran the pipeline trail with him to the end and back. He was really struggling and needs to get back in shape - so I got in some pretty slow miles at the end trying to keep him motivated. I took some cool pictures and will do a write-up tomorrow on my other blog - so check it out.

On the way back, just at the far edge of a rocky section, I caught a toe and did a lovely face plant. Luckily I was through the rocks and fell on dirt - or it would have been a lot worse. I will probably be stiff and bruised tomorrow - but my left elbow is the only area that really broke the skin.

Leslie told me to be at her house at 7 this morning. Guess who was sound asleep when I showed up at 7? Slacker!

We ran the pipeline trail again this morning. I was about 5 minutes faster than last night with Odee (not counting stopping times) because he was struggling so much.

I ran down the road and was about 3/4 of a mile down the road when Leslie passed me.

Then I came home to a boring Homeowner's Association Meeting. They raised our monthly fees again. Grrrr.

My son says he is showing up at 2 a.m. to spend Mother's Day with me.
