It was warm today.  I took Anna to school at nine and then went. I thought the last time I ran the same course it was 6, but then I realized that that time I had gotten a bit lost.  Oops.  

I didnt wear my garmin, but drove where I went after picking anna up from school.

Anyway, knee felt good, no pain.  I was going to end with Pah Tempe but was tired and hot so I didnt. 

I have runs the next three weekends but looks like I will be running the 5k for the Hurricane run, unless I decide to be crazy and run the 1/2 even though I am not ready. We will see.  I have done crazy stuff once or twice before.

3 miles with Anna in the stroller.  It was cooler than I thought it would be, but that makes for pleasant running temps.

The 10 k this weekend may kill me.  Oh well.  

Breakfast, then 45 minutes on spin bike.

1 hour on the spin bike.  It has been crazy cold here all week with winds and snow and rain.  My daughter has had some pretty bad allergies so I havent wanted to take her outside to much.  She got worse both times I did take her this week.  

Thank goodness I got the spin bike or I would have had vertually no exercise this week.  Gonna be interesting to see how tomorrows race goes.  All in fun.

This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it was beautiful.  It felt cold at the start, like many runs do, but I was quickly good and warm.  It was a fun run, so no awards, just an official time at the end. 

The run started between Big Bend and Emerald pools in Zion canyon and ended at the visitor center.  My dad ran with me, so it was a slow time for him, but a big P.R. for me.  He always pushes me and then claims he let me set the pace, ha ha. 

Last night I picked my parents up at the airport and we arrived home about 1 hour before we had to leave for the run.  So, we are tired.  Neither of us got  much sleep and now  everyone is ready for a nap.
