Daylight savings totally messed me up last night. I was awake all night and didn't make it to the gym this morning. So I headed to my basement gym while my big girls were at Activity Days. One of the *few* perks of working out at night is I have so much more energy. I can workout longer and harder.

I really wanted to wait two days to run again since my long run on Saturday. But since I waited until this evening, I figured I was close enough.

4 very strong miles

3x

20 plank with shoulder taps on ball

20 hamstring curls with ball

6 one arm push-ups on Bosu

Abs

LLL

Walking lunges

B6

20x dips

Long stretch and foam rolling

Ankle felt strong on the run.

Ankle still feels good - yeah!  

6 miles on the stairmill in 46:20:00.  I felt very strong this morning and did some "sprints" during the last half of the workout.  SOOOO sweaty.

I met up with Smooth, Karen and Collette this morning on the JRP. I haven't run outside since the SG Half and was a bit nervous about how my fitness would hold up. I really miss running with friends....especially these amazing women!

We weren't breaking any land speed records today and even walked a time or two at the end. But I had SO much fun catching up, laughing and sharing a run with these ladies. I really needed it and am grateful for their gentle push to get together.

My legs are definitely tired from running on asphalt and I could feel my lack of fitness. Ankle is a bit achy today.

I had to hurry home as we had an out of town family friend who we were entertaining for the day. We went for a hike at Rock Canyon, got ice cream at the BYU creamery and enjoyed the sun! I'm so very tired.
