Ahhhh!

What a beautiful fall! I ran 10 this morning and it was very crisp when I started but just right when I finished. What a great time and place to be alive! This month has gone so quickly. The running has been easy and enjoyable. I'm actually 20 miles ahead of schedule. That feels good considering that the weatherman is predicting snow for next week. I'm not ready for that yet.

Some friends are putting together a half marathon here in Soda. The Soda Screamer-Oct. 30 7:30 a.m. It will be a fun run. Low key! Ya'll should come join us.

Good Luck to you St. George racers! Hope you qualify for Boston!!

Yippee!!

Wow! What an exciting few weeks it has been here. Wedding, Wedding, Wedding mostly and some work and worry about the Verizon deal. The wedding was a great success. We think Tel & Sadie make a great couple. We also found out that we made the short list for Verizon and I mean short...They will be keeping our 4 stores and 2 in Jerome/Gooding area. The rest of the agents in Idaho will not have the opportunity to make the switch. I'm very grateful we have the chance. I'm also very grateful to be able to run. It helps me keep things sorted out.

My goal was to be caught up with my mileage before the wedding and I did it, actually a week early. I was able to put in some weeks of 30-35 miles so that really helped. That is a relief.

Keep It UP!

Lest you think I have stopped running and thus stopped blogging, here is an update. The month of July started out a little rocky. I had so much fun at Cedar Badge that it took me a couple weeks to recover. My running was not as consistent as needed but alas all things pass and I am back at full speed.

I was able to log some extra miles the last couple weeks and I'm almost back on track. It's a reminder to me how easy it is to get off track in so many things in our lives if we aren't vigilant in the daily pursuit of our quest. Health, wealth, knowledge, etc.

I loved being able to run in 8 mile this weekend while attending the Herd reunion. We live in a beautiful area. I'm grateful to have the physical capacities to get out and enjoy it.
Keep up the good work.....one day at a time :)

Is June really over?

Wow this month has gone by so quickly. My running has gone very well. I was able to bank a few miles to have a cushion for this past week. Ron and I have spent the week at Treasure Mountain Scout Camp with a group of 17 boys and girls ages 14-18 at a Cedar Badge Kodiak Trek. We spent the week hiking, rappelling, rafting, tearing out a buck and pole fence and doing some team building activities. We had a great time and were very grateful for the break in weather. Ron and I both jumped off a 25 foot pole at Badger Creek. It was a little unnerving but we both did it. Hooray for conquering your fears!!!

No miles this week........ Grand Total 489.10

Woe Is Me!

With all this running, I tend to think that I am fit. This week has been a reality check. On Monday, we went hiking with the Huntsman's to Lower Palisades Lake. It was about 9 miles and was a lovely hike. Not too steep.... but come about Wednesday, I was suffering from a tight muscle in my bum. You know the one that pinches your sciatic nerve when it gets tight. I had to cut down my mileage and even walked with Ron a day because it was hurting too much. But, Tel got me lined out with a deep stretch that did the trick to loosen that up.

Then yesterday I spent the day planting the garden, digging in the flowers, etc. for about 12 hours. Lots of bending and squats. Oh my, I was stiff this morning. Today I was grateful for being able to sit and not have to get up too often.

Moral of the story.... I guess I'm not as fit as I think.
