I'm tired of having my schedule mixed up. I'm doing everything for everyone else...a time and season I guess. So, since I'm working 7-9 then babysitting from 9-12 the gym is out of the question and I had to get up early if I wanted to run. Only nice thing was the sunrise, totally worth getting up early for. Sorry the pic is blurry, but I think the lens on my phone was all fogged over from being in my pocket and I couldn't tell on my phone screen :) It really is a pretty run along the top road on the foothills overlooking the valley as the sun peaks over the Wasatch. Took my uphill both ways route around Herriman. Only problem was that I had planned on stopping at about mile 6 at the park for water. Dumb thing didn't work! Figured I'd stop at Walgreens in another mile - closed! Okay, skate park in another 1/2 - not one there! Really?!? I had dry mouth and was hot and wanted a drink. Ahead were some sprinklers going over the sidewalk - oh yeah baby. For about 200 yds I just kept running through the sprinklers! I was soaking wet by the time I got through, but felt SO much better. Finally about .2 before my house I stopped at the church pavilion and got a drink...sweet water! Not really worth it at that point, but I was running right by it anyway. So, now I'm at home hanging out and working or babysitting all morning and have to skip the gym. STINK! Fit class is my favorite all week, I don't think these people realize the sacrifices I'm making for them. But do people ever? My legs did feel a lot better today, but now my issue is breathing. It really hurts to breathe deep. I've had this stupid side/back pain going on a week now! I'm sick of it, but there is nothing wrong with me...I'm perfectly healthy, so I just have to suck it up and deal with it. It was nice to not feel like lead legs though! The speed might just come back by October :) AP: 9:17 splits: 9:37, 8:53, 9:03, 9:28, 8:27, 9:01, 9:45, 9:52, 9:29, 7:14 (last 20 feet garmin recorded...see I did push a little speed at the end :) ).
