Trail Running Granny

This morning Kim S. and I went on a hike up Millcreek, we took the Pipeline trail and then headed up the Birch Hollow trail that goes up to the ridge. It is not a very popular trail, so we were doing a little bush wacking. Odee got to try out his new doggie back pack. He didn't seem to mind it, he can now carry his own water and  leash and dog treats.  It was great!   Now I am going to head off to the pool and try and get in my 70 laps! 

I am pooped!  I haven't really recovered from my 15 1/2 mile trail run  Sat., but I couldn't  NOT go with my chics on their 14 miler today, so I tagged along, in the back and did a little more walking. It was tough.  I had an average pace of 13:54.  Glad to have the miles in and visit with the chics, but I felt like I got my butt kicked good.  I am chillin' the rest of the day!!!!

Today is a nothing day, no running or exersizing at all, I really over did it yesterday. Today I an focusing on our fundraiser for Paul, we are having a celebration in a park in Sandy on Sept.6th!  Food, Polynesian dancing, music, raffle and FUN FUN FUN!  I will post details if any of you can come up and party with us!!!

Run hard everyone for me!  Except you Marion, run slow and behave yourself!!!

Another  no running day, spent the night in the hospital to give Julie a break.  I did do 30 min. of swimming laps.  Now it is back to the hospital!

Good luck on all your training everyone!

Today is another "nothing" day, BUT.... I am doing a 10 miler with the chics tomorrow!  My heels feel better, they needed a rest.

Paul gets out of the hospital tomorrow, which is great, but will need care around the clock until they can put back his skull, so it will be alot of work for Julie to arrange for his constant care. 

Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy your long runs!!!

Jen, Lisa and I did our favorite 10 mile route, from the Smiths on Wasatch to the South Mountain bridge.  We started out at 5:30, it was nice and cool the whole way, we had a nice easy pace, it was a great morning.  Lots of runners out this morning!  I had heel issues the whole way, so I probably looked pretty spazy but it was still a perfect morning. It took us 2:15, about a 13:32 min. pace, we decided we could never get away with that if Des was along, so since she was out of town we kicked back and loved it!  We did miss Des though!  I called Harold at the 8 mile mark and he came and picked us up. 

Hope you all had great long runs or races, have a great weekend
