Slow easy run this morning.  The tops of my feet are still quite achy.

push ups

Foam roll and stretch

Then I took my kids on a hike up Unicorn Mountain and we had breakfast burritos by Burrito River.  My 6 year old names everything.

20 minute hard push on bike

bicycle

v-ups

leg lifts

10 min hard push on bike

2x above exercises

I meant to get another 10 min hard push on the bike betweeen the last 2 sets of lifting, but was running out of time.  I thought the lifting would be more beneficial.

Ohhhh...how quickly I forget how hilly this run is.  I was huffing and puffing up that mile 3 hill.  The city took away the drinking fountain at the top of the hill too....boo!  It was nice to get a few faster miles at the end.  I think my legs are forgetting how to go fast.

Today was field day at school.  I helped in one classroom in the AM and another in the PM.  Unfortunately, we had a MAJOR "danger stranger" issue at school.  Some kid's uncle offered to buy some students lunch.  He brought it to the school but persuaded the kids out of the class to eat it with him on the lawn (teachers didn't know where the kids were).  Everyone is safe, but I think some valuable lessons were learned.

 PARENTS...TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT STRANGERS (even if the strangers are "friends")

Down AF Canyon and part of AF Half course

I got another babysitter this morning and Tim and I ran down AF Canyon from Tibble Fork.  I actually did not like it.  I was going much slower than I normally do and the road is extremly slanted, so one leg was always dropping further down than the other. But it was really good for Tim to run part of the course at his own pace.  

There was a car coming right at us and I jumped onto the shoulder so I wouldn't get hit.  But I landed on a large rock on the outside of my foot.  Ouch!!

I left him around mile 10 and added a few more miles.  The sun was up and it was warm.
