I ran the water tank hills with Kevin. I took it slow. I think my legs were still feeling the effects of the big hill run yesterday. I made it up the hills in 20:06 instead of 18:50 (last week).

Kevin was a couple of minutes late coming out and I had almost decided to not run. Last night I was invited to join the youth handcart trek at Martin's Cove my daughters are going on tomorrow thru Saturday. Some adult leaders couldn't make it at the last minute. Now I have to get ready to go at the last minute, but I'm grateful for the opportunity.

Kevin's daughter is also going. She and a couple of the other girls want to keep up their training and run in the mornings. They were looking for an adult to run with them. If I'm not busy cooking breakfast, maybe I can swing it. That would be enjoyable.

For some must push and some must pull...la la la la la la la la.

I'm jealous about you getting to go on the trek to Martin's cove. That sounds like a great adventure. It'd also be fun to go on an early morning run with the girls.
