Not too much to say about my run today. It was pretty uneventful, I think I need to add something new to my workout routine. I just don't know what, any suggestions?

Ran the trails today, just not as far as I did the other day. I needed to get home so I knew I only had about an hour or so to get my run in. I think it ended up being about 7 miles. But I'm not sure. I had some difficulty at the start, lots of fluttery heart beats that seemed to make it difficult to keep a good breath. Felt a little like I was going to hyperventilate. But after about 20 minutes I seemed to be able to get into a good beat. Still had a couple fluttery beats, but nothing like at the start. After the turning point a decided to run up to the bridge in Taylors canyon, this is a bit of a test that I do to myself to see if I can reach the bridge without having to stop. And today was a good day!! Then it's down a steep rocking part until I get to the rolly polly part back to the car. Love the last part if I'm feeling good I can really open up... it makes me feel like a kid :)

Today I ran at the gym because I needed to take my husband to work, then I needed to get my run in before I met up with my Mom and sisters to go see the art show at University of Utah art museum. If you have a chance you should go it was great.

Happy Pioneer Day to everyone!! I took it pretty easy today, I don't know why but you would think after a month of being able to run in the morning my body would be used to it, but I still have a hard time wanting to get up and run. I think tomorrow I will run the trails, and Saturday is my birthday, I always ran my favorite trails up by snow basin for my birthday run, so I can't decide if I will do that or a 5K. I still need to think about it.

I ran the trails today, I'm back to work Monday so I will be banished to only being able to run trails on the weekends :( so it was a rather bitter sweet run. It's bitter sweet for other reasons also. Tomorrow is my 45th birthday, this is the age my friend Scott was when he took his life. He was the person that got me to be a runner, so running in the trails where we used to run together so close to a birthday that reminds me of him was difficult, but in some ways good. It's hard to explain. There is a sense of him present with me. My memories of our runs, his smile when I made him walk for a bit because I was out of breath. Him telling me I was doing a good job. These things were all there today.  I ran a bit longer trail then I usually do and felt so good, I know it was because I felt him so strong today. So sorry for being a downer here today, sometimes the sting of his death is still very strong. But I know he would be happy that I'm still running the trails. 

I'm never certain of the exact mile when I run the trails, so this is an estimate.

I ran the 5K up at WSU to help raise money for Lindsey Anderson. She is going to the Olympics. It was a fun run some of it was up in the trails above WSU. I don't know if it was an accurate miles, someone said it might be a bit short. I should run a few more miles today but I don't think that will happen today is my 45th birthday and the family is getting together. Maybe I can get a few miles in tomorrow.
