AM- I went out on an easy run this morning into River Heights and back.  I felt really tight and the run was very uncomfortable.  6 miles  45:20

I think that most of my problem was because of some bad news that I got last night about a dear friend of mine.  I didn't sleep well and have been very upset about it.  My best friend's mom, who was like a second mother to me my whole life, died in an accident down by Goblin Valley. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=1491261   Marie was the nicest person ever, and she and Kimo treated me like one of their own.  They were as supportive to me as were my own parents, and every major event that has taken place in my life they have been a part of.  Our families have been extremely close for my whole life.  I used to go on family vacations with them, and have been on numerous hikes with them like the one that took her life.  It is a sad time for all who knew them and were close to them. My prayers and support are with the Coray family at this time.

 

PM-  The bright part of my day was actually the clouds and little bit of rain that we got.  I got home from work and decided to take advantage of the great weather.  I did a Lundstrom Park 5 miler backwards.  I felt way better than this morning and was actually able to relax.  The sun came out about half way through the run and started to get things hot again, but the first half of the run was very comfortable.  34:43

Thanks for the comments guys.  Sometimes life kind of gives you a good kick in the gut and wakes you up and that is what this was to us.  Life is precious and can be taken from us anytime, so we need to be prepared.  Thank you for your empathy.

James- I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It's nice that we know that those who pass on are in a much better place. Still, it's always hard to deal with a loss.

I am sorry to hear about your loss!! Take time and reflect on the positive ways she has influenced her life and honor her for what she has given you. Our support goes out to you and all of her family at this sad time.
