Good run today to loosen up my legs.  I hiked the West Rim Trail in Zion yesterday (14.4) miles.  I am in better shape than I thought because only my feet and lower legs were sore, and not to sore. 

I got up to run this morning, just to make sure I didn't get to sore.  A bit tought to get going, but once I did, I felt great!!! 

I have been running again for a few weeks.  The first week, I ran ever other day (2 miles) and walked the other days.  I think I did that for 2 weeks, then last week, I think I ran every day.  Not 100% on that though.

Same 3 as always.  A good hilly run, hopefully helping me get stronger.  I feel good and have no pain, so hopefully this time I can stay injury free for a long time!!!!!

Way windy and VERY cold this morning.  Only crazy people run in weather like that.  (Count me in on crazy). 

Been getting up early to run while my daughter sleeps.  It is getting to dark to early to go at night and it feels good to start the day off with a run. 

Very stoked about running again.  I am gonna ease into things this time.  I am a bit scared about getting hurt again.

Not much changes in my running (still).  Same 3 mile loop.  Got a couple good hills (good, cuz they are short) but they are hills regardless. 

No pain, feel good.  Hope to stay injury free and up the miles soon!!!

Happy to be doing it!!

Out and back to the Laverkin stake center.  I have only run this way one other time since I started running again (and can't remember which day that was for sure). 

I felt good.

Race: Spooktacular Fun Run (3.1 Miles) 00:24:40, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1

I have never won anything before at a run.  I think I only beat one other person in my age division, but hey, that is cool.  I was the 2nd woman by only about 10-20 seconds. 

If it was a true 5k, I ran about a minute faster than the best time I had before.  YEAH!!

It was a fun run, and good to have the family involved!!
