12 miles

First 6.5 miles with Ry in the trails just southeast of our house. Found a way to the new airport that is all on trail! SWEET!!! We are going to call it Rock City because of all the big gorgeous rocks you pass on the way up. Well, Ry actually only ran 5.5 of those miles with me because during the steep uphill he found one of those big rocks to lay flat on his back and soak in some rays while I ran up and down it. Hilarious!! What I would have given for a camera. It would have been an amazing pic from up above. Next time.

When we returned at 6.5 I straightway went out for another 3.5 miles (pushing the last two) to make an even 10.

Then about an hour after that I could tell that Iggy wanted to go for a jog so I took her out for another couple of miles at a decent clip. She is such a fun dog! Ever since we started running together she doesn't want to leave my side! She's laying down right next to me as I type this. I LOVE HER!!! :-)

Oh, and I can't forget all of the Bocci Ball and Blokus today! :-) :-) :-)

Happy new week, All. :-)

18 FANTASTIC super easy (except for 1) miles.

Shelbey has a niggle and so we decided to take it crazy easy since this is the farthest she has ever run and she was having calf problems earlier in the week. We had SO SO SO much fun.

Miles 1-4 with Iggy (Iggy didn't need to stop even once, of course we were running super easy, but still)

Miles 5-16 Shelbey and I dropped Iggy off at home and then headed out to Rock City. We LOVE that place!!! Feeling the dirt underneath your feet makes it almost feel like your feet are getting a massage!! At least that is what we were telling ourselves! Ha!!! Like I said, we just ran crazy easy and chatted up a storm. Lots of laughing! At one point (well actually two points, but I was only aware of one) we ran across a mad smoking doobies (is that a real word) with his dogs. Shelbey says, "Oh there's that guy again." I responded, "What guy?" She's like, "You are kidding me, right? You saw him before, right?" I answer, "Nope!" She responds, "No way you should ever run by yourself, you are oblivious to your surrounding!!" We couldn't stop laughing because I honestly did not see him the first time.

Mile 17-18 Picked up Rylee (who gets done with school around 11) and she ran the last couple with us. SO MUCH FUN!

Seriously, that was a run that I could run everyday! Our pace was so easy that the first 10 miles felt like nothing.

After we finished we all made some yummy watermelon smoothies, brought out a speaker, and shared the hammock in the backyard and chatted some more!

I LOVE HAVING FRIDAYS OFF!!!!!!!

Today was bitter sweet. Spend most of the day in Cedar City at SUU watching the state championship games. Rylee's team did not make it to the finals so that was sad, but we wanted to watch the game and Rylee had to be there to accept her All State Academic Award at half time. I could not be more proud of my girl. I tried so hard not to cry and mostly succeeded but I had to fight the tears big time. I felt my throat closing off on me as I tried to hold back my emotions. Basketball has been such a huge part of her life, and now that chapter is coming to end. She is more than prepared to move on to all the good things the world has to offer her, I'm just not prepared. Ugh ... I love that girl!!!

Got home and ran 4.5 miles with Ry up towards Rock City and then another 1.5 with Iggy. Iggy is becoming quite the runner! Today she ran her 1.5 at a 7:43 pace. Who knew I could love a dog so much! The second she sees me in my running clothes she heads straight to the front door and lays on her back waiting for me to put on the leash. She is SO CUTE!!!! :-)

Goal this week was 50 miles! I did it! :-)
