I ran in the morning before work today. I think I will need to run a bit shorter when I do this again, because I was a bit late to work. And today was my first day back since the furlough. Anyway it was a pretty good run. I was luck there was a port-a-john at a park along the way, other then that it was good to get out in the morning.

7.06 miles - 1:04:20

What a crazy run this morning! I got up to run before work, that means the alarm goes off at 4:30am. AHHHH, it takes me until about 4:50 to get dress and get moving enough to run. I thought I had taken care of all the essentials before I headed out, but about 1.5 into my run I could tell I needed a potty break... So I knew just around the corner was a field... turned off my head light and time and found a bush... no luck... got back to the road, turned on the head light, turned on the time, and started off again. About another mile had the same feeling... found another field... turned off the head light, the time found a bush...no luck again!! AGHHH this is crazy, I always knew I was a person that had trouble with the free and easy feeling of open an outhouse but this was getting painful. Anyway I started out again, forgot to start my time... then realized and started it. Got about 1 mile from home and was hoping I could get there with no trouble.. tried one more time before I got to where the houses start and knew that I would not have any bushes...had a small success and was able to finish my run. When I re-mapped it out it looks like I was just short of 5 miles :( I'll see what I can do to make it an even 5 next time.

I have a massage tonight but I'm still hoping to get a few more miles in after work. So I will up date later. With all the time trouble I don't know how accurate my time is today. Sorry if this blog had too much information :)

4.9 miles - 46:30

After work a got an easy 3.1 - 27:14

I ran the trails above 22nd street this morning. I usually love running the trails but today it didn't love me. I felt drained the entire way. It was a struggle to get through the run so needless to say I didn't run the extra part up Taylor's canyon to the bridge as I do when I'm feeling better. I was also in a hurry this morning and forgot my watch, so it's estimated miles and time this morning. 

My best estimation is 8 miles - 1:23:00
