Urban Trail Loop with the regular crowd, plus Paul! I was happy to see him! He can never say when he is coming, because if he does, then something will go wrong at work and we will miss out! Chad, George, Kimberly, Paul and I all set out at a nice easy pace and Paul told me the fun stories from Big Cottonwood Marathon pacing. At the lake George and Kimberly took off while I was grabbing a drink, but we caught them by the trail and so we just continued on through the fence. From there on out we were all together chatting, laughing and telling good stories. It was a good low-key run. No one out for a sprint or to be chased, just easy. The way I like it! AP: 8:39 splits: 9:05, 8:43, 8:17, 7:52, 8:51, 8:44, 8:55, 8:49 - it is always strange to me how much my progressive run splits change when we hit the trail! Crazy!
Came home and was going to sleep, but decided to wait until kids were off to school and shower first (I was cold and it warms me up so I don't spend the next 3 hours shivering!). Then, after they left I made a yummy omelet for breakfast and jumped on FB while eating. Ooops. Heidi (my hiking companion from yesterday) saw I was online and asked if I wanted to go out for a bike ride up Rose Canyon and out to the HS. Well, given the option to sleep or ride...I'll ride! So, Adam and I got on the bike and headed out. Heidi is super nice being willing to slow down for the extra 30 pounds I have to haul on a mtn bike! But, I made it up the canyon and to the HS then we parted ways and both went home. I'm really enjoying Heidi. She is my new exercise crush :) We get along well and I enjoy spending time with her and she doesn't mind my slow tag-along (Adam). We already have another hike for Monday on the calendar. Total about 14-15 miles on the bike. I'll sleep when baby goes down for a nap :)
