I was out of town last week and slacked off on my running and it spilled over into this week. Today I got back to it though. I ran up the Mueller Park Trail today. I didn't go all the way to Elephant Rock, instead I turned around about a half mile before that. It was a good run but I need to get back into the habit of running everyday.

I ran the Mueller Park Trail again today. I made it all the way to Elephant Rock today, my legs felt much better than they did yesterday. As I came down I passed several people coming up the trail. I usually only see a few people on the trail or none at all since I run it early in the morning. But today lots of people were out enjoying it.

Tomorrow I am going to a half marathon in Farmington. This race will be different for me than most. My wife is running in it and I will be the one hauling the kids around and cheering her on. It is her first half marathon and she is a bit nervous, but I think she is going to do great.
