| Things got really stressful at work and I ended up in a depression and really bogging down. This afternoon I decided I had to get a run in, so called Leslie and arranged to meet her after work. We did 3 miles out on the pipeline trail and then headed back. Les had already done a hike earlier, so told me to go ahead and then run a mile or so down the road and she would pick me up. Unfortunately, about 1/4 mile down the road, I found a poor, lost, panting huge dog and decided I needed to find its wayward owner. But, as a bonus, I got fed dinner and had a haircut from Leslie.

Decided I was going to beat this depression - so packed a bag last night and dragged myself out of bed early and ran to work and then around the 'big block' (2 miles turning at each stoplight) that I work on. Les, decided I didn't need to buy a weighted running vest - just carrying a backpack full of clothes and food was pretty heavy. Down 1 pound from yesterday. 2 to go to reach my latest goal! ____________________ Speed walked home from work (a lot of it is uphill) - tried to stay under 13:30 miles. |

| Rode my bike to and from work and on errands (even found some killer uphills). - about 6 miles Later, I walked a mile to the gym, did a hard leg workout on the weight machines, and walked a mile home from the gym. At that point, I realized my keys to the townhouse were still back at the gym, so walked back to the gym to get them (grumbling all the way). Luckily, someone was nice enough to give me a ride home at 10 p.m.

I did the Crest trail with Leslie and Laurie this morning and did about 17.3 miles there. It was great running weather - not too hot. We waited at the top of Puke Hill for the 'men on bikes' that were with us - then didn't see them again after that. I was enjoying the trails and started feeling pretty good, so took off on my own after about 3 miles. The wildflowers were great, butterflies and hawks were gorgeous, even got called an ultramarathoner (yes!). I think the from about mile 8-11 I had this big grin plastered across my face. When I made it to Millcreek Canyon, didn't see anyone else from our party, so started running down the canyon until Les and Harold picked me up.
I picked up a knee strap to try today and didn't feel any pain during the entire run.
One of those days that make all the hard days worthwhile.
Tonight I walked 4.7 miles to Bajio and the grocery store. My knee was a little sore. |
