Ran the river trail during my afternoon snooze time.  I felt like I was wading through quicksand.

Ran the river trail with Lilly this morning.  Felt so so good. It's morning like that that makes you fall completely in love with running all over again.

So last weekend I did my first real hard core trail run down in Sunny St. G.  I went with my hubby, our friend James, and a guy called Cameron, and an ultramarathoner, Jared.  I was slightly in over my head, but so fun.  We did 12 miles total.  At one point, we gained 600 ft of elevation in .5 mile.  Somewhere with about 8 miles to still run, I tripped over some lava rock and biffed it.  I was not about to be the weany girl who quit, so I finished the run but I have been pretty sore since.

Adam and I at the top about to head into Snow Canyon.

Jared, Adam and I right before the fall. See all those sharp nasty lava rocks. Not my friend.  Luckily for me, Jared tripped right before this so I didn't feel like the only clumsly one.

There is only about half my owies.  Now 5 days later, my whole leg is dark black and blue. Am I tough or what? :)

Seriously one of the best vacations I ever had.  All I am sayin' is why go on a cruise when you can go running?

Ran the river trail alone this morning.  Cold, dark and creepy.  Come on Mr. Sunshine, wake up earlier.

Ran the river trail twice with Merri, Lily, and Adam aka A-Hall. We started out strong but we started dropping like flies around 3 miles. Haha. Lots of soreness between all of us except for Adam but us girls ran a lot faster than he is used to so maybe he might be tomorrow.

8 miles on Gold's tm, .75 barefoot.  I hope I can work into more substantial barefoot distances. It feels so good.

The Hub and I watched Evolution of Running last night and I was excited to try out some new tips this morning.  I did feel like I was running faster with less effort.

Took a little walk on the tm by Lily. She was only running TWICE my speed :) Then I did the elliptical for 45 minutes.  I am trying to take it easy for a few days so that my bum is not hurting too bad to pace Adam during the Buffalo Run this weekend.
