I have not run, nor even exercised since June 10 the day of UVM.  Somehow that experience really messed with my mind and I completely lost my mojo.  I kept trying to find it and as hard as I tried could not get myself out the door to run or swim or anything.  This week my family has been on vacation in Pinetop, AZ.  It is beautiful up here.  The high temps have been in the low 70s.  The elevation is around 7200 feet, so I have felt oxygen deprived since Lake Havasu is about 500 feet. Anyways, this week I set out to find my mojo.  

I have run 3 miles every day and gotten faster each day.  I have the first couple days were tough, then I started looking forward to my morning run.  Todays run was my fastest of the week.

 3 miles- AP 7:24

I think I have found my "moj".  Hopefully the "o" will be waiting for me when I get back to Havasu.

I look forward to catching back up on everyone's blogs.  I hope you are all healthy and enjoying a wonderful summer.

You're back!!!!:) :) :) So happy that you found your moj! Sometimes a family vacation for a change of scenery is all it takes to kickstart or reignite the fire within! Keep gathering the little kindlings every day and soon you will be on fire again!

Hope you are enjoying immensely the time with your cute family at Pinetop! Sounds like a perfect cool spot. Larry and I are spending a cool temp weekend up in Park City right now! Give my love to Doone please! :)

Smooth, I hope you and Larry had a great weekend. Our family had a nice little escape.

Tim, I hope I'm back to stay for a while.
