It took me a while to get warmed up. Like the first 4 miles. I feel better running down hill so the second half of the run was better. It was quite windy in spots. It was cooler than yesterday. But now (7pm) it's freezing!  Holy temp drop!

I needed to do yoga but didn't have time. I helped at the first grade field day for almost 2 hours and I'm wiped out!!! Obstacles courses, bowling, big, huge parachute thingy, two-legged races. I took Josie and she loved all of it.

I was supposed to cross train today. It was too cold to swim in the morning. I ended up cleaning the house ALL DAY. Moved a heavy piece of furniture up the stairs that worked my core:). It was the last day of school for 2 of my kids. The older two were home all day so we cleaned out their room for a garage sale.

I ate good all day and then gave in to In and Out. End of school dinner night out for the kids.

Nice and cool this morning!!! This weather is crazy. I prefer the cool.

I needed to do yoga but painted addresses on curbs from 10am-4pm!!! I'm so tired and hot!

Guess I'm running 12 alone tomorrow cause Ash can't do tomorrow morn and I can't do Saturday morn. Have to be at Brighton High School for a garage sale/car wash from 6am-12 noon. Spending a lot of time fundraising for my 15 yr old this week.

I ran 8.4 up and down Little Cottonwood Trail at 6am with Betsy. This run beat the crap out of me and I was barely able to run 4 at home. It was so pretty and Betsy told me all about her 50 miler in Idaho last weekend. It was inspiring story about how she wanted to quit but didn't and she ended up helping people who were struggling along the way. People who had passed her early on. She's an AMAZING trail runner. We went all the way to a campground, Tanner Flats I think. We were close to the river the entire run and it was so beautiful. It got pretty cold toward the top. Coming down I started to feel pretty beat up. It was way harder on my body then going up. I wasn't wearing trail shoes shoes. Betsy had trail shoes and gators and even fingerless gloves for grabbing trees or falling:) No one fell thank goodness. I couldn't believe the way she FLEW down the mountain. That takes practice and skill. She was like a bunny hopping threw the forest. I kept looking up to see her blond pony tail swishing up ahead. Anyway, a super tough, but gorgeous run! Then a dreadful 3.6 at home in the hot sun:(

Looking forward to a 6am garage sale/car wash at Brighton High tomorrow for cheer fundraiser. NOT!:) We'll see...it might be fun. I should be encouraging you all to come and buy and get your car washed tomorrow! go Bengals!!! woo hoo!

Swim- 50 minutes. Felt SO good! I'm sore after that trail run yesterday. esp quads! Love, love, love to swim. I alternated between freestyle and breaststroke.

6am-1pm I was at a car wash/garage sale at Brighton for cheer fundraiser. It was super dang fun!

Came home and took a nap cause I got like 4 hrs of sleep last night. Stayed up watching A Beautiful Mind. Love that movie.
