3.2 mile run to and from the gym.  Lifted legs - leg curls, calf raises, leg press, sit ups, swimmers and planks x 3.  Not super motivated to get up and get moving.  But out I got and got it done.

My baby turned 4 today, so my hubby stayed home from work this morning to celebrate.  So I met my friend Sarah at the mouth of the canyon for a run.  I felt like I was huffing and puffing going up, but was able to get into a groove on the way down.  It always help to have a buddy to help push you!  We iced in the river after....brrrr.

Right lower leg is bugging a little.

AP: 8:47 (I need to be doing this all the time!!!)

SO SO SO tired this morning.  Lower legs super grumpy after yesterday's longer/harder run.  I know my lower legs are very weak...hence the constant soreness and aches.  I wonder if days off help or hinder.  If I need to be running on them everyday to help strengthen.  Oh the joys.

The heat is starting to wear on me..ughhhh!  I'm definitely a fall/spring kind of runner!  The scary construction guys were gone!  I felt really good this morning, but my lower legs were achy.  Bleh!

There were so many stars out this morning - absolutely beautiful!

I met my friend Sarah up by the Orem water treatment plan - we ran the Bonneville Shoreline trail.  I've decided I REALLY stink at trail running.  First because I shuffle on the roads, but am forced to lift my legs higher when I'm on trails because of rocks/roots/etc.  Plus, I think the elevation plays a part when I'm up on a trail UP the mountain vs running at the base of the mountain. 

I'm glad I did it...makes me stronger.  But the first mile was quite the climb.  It was a beautiful sunrise.  The views over the valley were incredible.  My legs are tired!
