It was a dark and stormy morning.  Actually that's about how every morning has been in Utah the last few weeks.  Ran just shy of 4 miles with Kim then she went to coach her wanna-runna-5K ladies and I ran a few hills. Feeling pretty good, but looking forward to a little sun one of these days.

It was a dark and stormy morning. The wind blew, rain fell, hail pellets in my face, soaked shoes. Yet it was strangely relaxing.

Later 30 min XT at the gym and some core.

Well we finally got a morning that wasn't so dark and stormy. Clear but pretty dang nippy with temps around 30. Ran down to the track and did a few strides and 220s as I'm trying to get the legs used to the idea of faster running. Finished up running the river bottoms back home.

Nice to have Kim back safe-and-sound from her work-trip down to St. George to kick off the remodel on our 1BR condo we picked up a couple months ago. This condo is right next door and shares a wall with our bigger condo. So we're excited to fix it up and have more options with our vacation rental business and also to be able to more comfortably handle large family/friend groups when we're down there. Big thanks to Kim's parents for helping out with a bunch of manual labor stuff this week.

Another coolish morning, a little above freezing so warmer temps than yesterday, but the wind chill factor probably made it feel colder. Just ran a nice and easy 4.5 recovery run.

Later did 30 min XT and core at the gym. Nice to see some sun today!!!

Guess we're back to dark-and-stormy mode today.  Got in 5 miles in the morning. Kind of a weird run, legs felt good and fresh but seemed to have no wind and my HR was definitely on the high side. Not sure what's up with that, hopefully I'm not coming down with something.

Went out an hour earlier than usual since we needed to be in Ephraim for our son's graduation (good job Camron!).  Not used to being surrounded by a winter wonderland of snow on the last day of April but such is the weather this year.

Got in about 10 with Kim then 5 more solo with a bit in there with Dan and Pat.  Got in a few MP miles during the middle of the run.
