My nephew texted me this morning at 3am (woke me up) to let me know that he didn't want to run early, he wanted to start at 10...which ended up being 10:30 by the time he got to my house. He had been out partying with friends all night. Partying in Utah isn't the same as partying in other states--A lot of us are Mormon. We started out going up Little Cottonwood to the mouth of the canyon and then down to Wasatch. We hit a grocery store for Muscle Milk and kept trudging through the misery of the heat! My legs hurt, my side hurt (from laughing at my nephew too much) and just all over misery because I am in pathetic shape! We ran 13.1 in 2:16....no lie, that sad! I didn't even want to post it. It was hard to keep in the 9s! Sad! Sad! Sad! How am I going to run a half marathon in 2 weeks and even get a semi-decent time? I'm not! :( I guess I will get out there and do it for fun and enjoy the beautiful scenery and make a few new friends along the way. I am a bit too chatty! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend. I am so grateful for our forefathers that sacrificed so much for their posterity and their beliefs. What a wonderful country we live in. |
