Vacationing up in Island Park Idaho, great weekend fishing.  Sunday I was fishing in the river and a bear came down and stood on the bank less than 100 yards away.  My son, brother-in-law and a couple of hikers just stood there staring.  The bear went back into the brush and then came back down to the river and played with some trees for about 5 minutes and then left.  It was really awesome to see a bear that close in the wild, it made the trip.

Had time for a quick run on Monday morning, I was on vacation after all.  Nice run, it was cool up there in the morning and it's at altitude (2000 ft. higher than I'm used to).

Great run this morning.  It was about 42 degrees when I left, perfect.  When it's cooler I run better because I'm not over heating.  I was able to push it pretty hard for the whole run, for me anyway.

Another great run this morning.  I set out to try and take it nice and easy today after running pretty hard yesterday.  I felt good this morning even though I rammed my thigh into the footboard on my bed.

I did not want to get out of bed this morning.  It's been a busy week and I'm feeling a little tired.  But I made myself get up and run and I'm glad I did, I feel a little better now and I'm not beating myself up for being lazy.  My goal today was to just relax and run.  Good run this morning it helps to concentrate on relaxing.

Got to sleep in a half hour this morning that's always good.  Good run this morning although I started feeling tired at 4.5 miles or so.  I guess it's just Friday.
