Had a nice run today, everything felt pretty good, had to stop after four miles for a potty break (nothing new there) but then finished the next three miles.

I ran in the trails above 22nd street. I love running there but I had my two oldest grandkids spend the night so I thought I would run a shorter trail. I was feeling pretty good on the way back so I ran up the lower part of Taylor's canyon, seeing if I could make it to the bridge without having to walk... and I did !!! I was huffing and puffing pretty good by the time I got to the bridge but it felt good! Cruised the rolly hill back to the flat part and ran as fast as my tired legs could back to the car. I don't know the exact miles so I just estimated.

Didn't have the gumption to do any more today, my two oldest grandkids were at my house the past two night, we were at the water park all day yesterday and I got too much sun on my back :( but we had a great time.

Ran the trails again, this time I ran all the way to the end, but took a shorter loop back, so I think I was further then Tuesday but not as long as I could have. My legs felt heavy when I was close to the end I had to be careful, this is when I usually take a fall. But I'm glad to say that so far this year I have not had any falls, a few rolled ankles but that is all. :)

Well, I talked my husband onto mountain biking with my while I ran the foothills above Ogden. IT was nice to have him there with me. I ran my usual trail but added a bit more. I pushed myself a bit harder having my husband there with me, because I didn't want to look bad... and he was in back of me on the hills. Any way it was pretty fun I think we will do it again next Saturday. I don't know if anyone else has a none running partner, but sometimes it is a challenge. Most of the time my husband is very supportive, but there are times when I think he feel my running takes too much priority.
