I wasn't going to run today, but I had to see if my legs still work.  They do.  My calves are still pretty sore but while I was running, they didn't hurt at all.  I did the hilly route and felt really good.  I have my marathon training (mileage) planned out and getting excited about that!!

Happy to be running!!

Ran to the LaVerkin stake center and back again. Had head wind both directions and that is always fun. Anna took her music player with us today so we had music to run with.

I am noticing, I don't like running every other day, it seems harder to get going. All in all though, a good run and happy to be doing it!!

I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but I don't like it when I don't run every day.  I am sure for my body, taking days off is good.  Probably more important if I were logging more miles.  I just feel a bit sluggish when I take a day off. 

Anyway, I ran without Anna and the stroller today.  It felt weird not having her with me, but she needed some sleep. 

Same out and back to the Laverkin stake center.  It is a good run. 

Happy to be doing it!!!  (Sunday is a 14 miler - next week is 20, not necessarily looking forward to that)
