Ran 5:28 in the morning before work... a skunk ran across the road in front of me I slowed down a bit so I didn't get too close, it was still a bit dark and at first I thought I was a cat. Then every time a saw a cat I had to double look to make sure it wasn't a skunk. 

Then ran 3 more miles at the gym, did the last 1/2 barefoot. I can't say that I really liked this, was a bit weird, and I got a blister on the ball of my foot. 

Got invited to go climbing tomorrow after work at the climbing gym in Ogden... It's been a long time, hope I can manage.

Got up and ran before work again today. I think 5 1/2 is the most miles I can get in before work unless I can get up earlier. That is unlikely though, today was difficult, I stood on my porch for a few seconds really wanting to turn around and go back to bed, but I figured I had made it out the door I might as well run LOL. No skunks today, or cats. But there was a horse that was hanging he head over the fence at one point, I thought he might try to get me as I went past, but he just look at me like I was crazy. Got invited to go climbing tonight after work, with a few ladies from work. I think I will try to get hubby to come down to the climbing gym too. So I probably won't get any more miles in today. I tomorrow morning is not as difficult as today was.

Not much happened with this run, it was difficult to get through it. Had a bit of tummy trouble and had to stop a few times. Kept it pretty slow.

Up early to run before work, I was hoping to get a few more in after work, but as I was leaving home my hubby asked if I was coming home early... we are going to Bear Lake this weekend and have tons of packing to do. He wanted me to get off work early but I told him that was not going to be possible. I'm hoping to get in a few miles in the morning before we take off. But I will not be back to the blog until Tuesday.

As far as my run today... it was pretty basic. Not much happened...

I was able to get a pretty good run in before I had to help pack for our trip to Bear Lake.

I got up pretty early and ran, up into Lake Town. Then a bit into round valley. Tons of bunnies hopping around, a couple of chipmunks and just as I was getting to the turn around point two deer. It was a lovely run... I would have liked to go longer, but I was afraid I would get back to late to fix breakfast. I had to change days for my meal to cook, with one of my sisters, and I knew that hubby would not be happy with my if I was too late and he had to do it all himself. But it was a very nice run!
