Took Twilight up to Millcreek Canyon tonight for her first trail run.  It was supposed to be a hike, but she wanted to run more than half of it.

Started my run 2 hours too late and the heat definitely got to me.  Ran the first 6.25 out and then ran out of steam.  For the next 4 miles I alternated between running 200 steps at between 9 mm and 10 mm and walking 100 steps.

1 hour weight training on back, biceps and core.

40 minutes hard on the elliptical trainer.  Got ticked off halfway through when I was dripping sweat and two women got on treadmills in front of me and turned off the fan.  After they did a leisurely 15 minutes and got off, I asked if they would mind turning on the fan and they looked kind of sheepish not realizing they had only thought of themselves.

2 miles with the dog.

2 miles with the dog.  My body and lungs and mind were shot. I'm falling apart and don't know if it is physical or mental.

Taking a rest from running today to hope my body heals.  

It is my daughter's 22nd birthday today.  I sure miss her and wish I could be with her. 

I have tickets a concert tonight - but am really bummed because Sugarland pulled out of it and they were the group I really wanted to see.  I'll go anyway and enjoy Kenny Chesney, Lady Antebellum and Miranda Lambert. I am debating on walking to the concert.  It is less than 3 miles away.

PM - 5 miles walking to and from the concert and then walking the dog.  It was hot - west facing seats and full on sun the first 3 hours.

1 mile with the dog.

Ran 2 miles (net uphill) to the gym.  Forced myself to conquer the mental demon sitting on my back.  Did a killer leg workout - legs were shaking the whole time.  Noticed on quad isolation exercises that my left quad seems significantly weaker than my right quad and need to work on rectifying that.  Ran 2 miles home.
