Out to the Laverkin stake center and back today and hit Pah Tempe on the way back.  I actually have enjoyed running up that hill lately.  Fun stuff.  

I have been using my old orthotics and my knee feels better.  Good to know.  I am glad I went to the doc to get some new ones.  

Lake to Lake this weekend.  I am excited!!

Walking today with 250 lunges.  Didnt have to much time today so had to make it quick.  Knee was sore but loosened up after 1/2 mile or so.

Same as monday.  Out to the Laverkin stake center and back.  Hit Pah tempe on the way back.  That hill is getting "easier".  It will never be easy, but it doesnt hurt as bad as the first time. 

Knee felt good today.

Walking today with 250 lunges.  Beautiful weather and felt great.  I love getting outdoors.  I have said it before but there is no better way to start the day than with a walk or a run.  Anything with some fresh air. 

Another 4 miles of walking at night with my friend.  We have talked about walking every night, hopefully we will start doing it more faithfully.  We both have a few extra pounds we want to get rid of and we have thought that with exercising twice a day we will be able to.

Walking today with 250 lunges.  Pretty uneventful.

This was actually a 5 person relay team and my legs totaled 10.5 ish.  It was beautiful weather and a awesome run!!!  My first leg was about 5.5 and second was right around 5.  

My team was awesome and we are so happy with our place.  Our division place is different (there were 3 different groups) and at this point I am not sure how we did in the mixed division.  

My first leg was from the Highway 91 and the Gunlock road junction and into Ivins.  I had a couple of good hills and was very happy that I have been running Pah Tempe as often as I have.  Also had a tail wind.  My second was on the trails from Riverside drive to washington by the animal shelter.  By my second leg the teams were so spread out that I didnt see anyone other thatn a glimpse of a green shirt once or twice.  All in all it couldn't have been better, the second run of mine was a bit tough for the first mile or so and I was cursing myself for not taking any powergel.  Live and learn. 

Good times.  This is definately a run I would love to do each year!!
