Wes' alarm went off at 5:45 so he could run & I went back to sleep, carson woke up at 6 to use the potty I went back to sleep, wes was still here and left at 6:15, went back to sleep, my alarm went off at 6:30, went back to sleep until 6:45, went back to sleep again until 7.  wes was now home and I FINALLY decided to go run at 7:15 which only left time for 3 miles :(  I'm pathetic if I don't have someone outside waiting for me.

Wanted to run on the river trail,but the construction workers were there and would proably give me a ticket for trespassing past the do not enter signs. :)

8 miles this morning w/ the lily-meyster.  we started at 5:30 and it sure was dark.  the moon was like orangish-yellowish.  Kinda spookey, especially when we ran past gotham city (it's this old run down factory w/ big black smoke stack tower looking things and broken windows and broken bricks...i'll take a picture some time).  We had a good time running around town and always a good time talking.  Our neighbor Larry drove by and yelled something at us, Lily was going to yell some obscenities back and give him the bird, but then I recognized him as our neighbor and not just some creapo...although some have mistaken him for the latter. :) ha ha

Went to ZuMbA last night and the teacher was a drill sergeant.  She was working us in a sweat shop :) ha ha but in all seriousness it was hot in that room.  I was extremely coordinated, glad to see Melody & Nancy there, always more fun w/ people you know.  And I could only wish I looked as cute as Lyns doing those moves. :) At one point I thought I might just pop my hip out of socket.

6 miles w/ Lyns & Lily this morning.  I forgot I was going to mention the big black mail box I almost ran into yesterday b/c it was so dark I never saw it coming. :)  I almost did it again this morning.  We ran to the gym and it got SSSSOOOO WINDY! 

Good conversations today about sex offenders who live in our neighborhood.  It got me so intrigued I had to come home and check out the registry.  Lily you were right 800 w & 300 s.  I'm now planning new routes that don't include running past the offender houses :)

So sad...today I was running on river bottom road and I saw a cute little black kitty.  Then right below him was a yellow kitty that had just been run over.  The poor kitty was still somewhat alive I think.  It was so gruesome I couldn't look at it or I was going to throw up.  I felt so bad for both kitties.  

I was supposed to meet lyns, but there was no site of her. :(  I ran 6 and tried to get faster each mile.  

avg pace 7.41

1st mile 8.22

last mile 7.04

So I did get faster :)  I'm a little bummed I didn't run the SF 1/2.  But I had a baptism to go to that morning so I couldn't have done it anyway.  And now I'm bummed I didn't do Onion days.  Alas such is life.  I'll probably put kamrie in the 1k race in Orem on the 19th.  And I'm still planning on the Save a Sister 10k in St George in October.

Met Lyns at 7 and we started as soon as we saw each other b/c it was ffffffrrrreeezing today :).  Our plan was to run a fast 5k.  We ran 3 in 21:20ish.  So that's pretty good.  Then  I ran 2 more w/ out Lynsey.

There's a FREE 5k this Saturday at BYU if anyone is interested.  Our ward is also doing a super sprint triathlon for $10 this Saturday.  I am not sure which one I want to do yet, I need to find a baby sitter or just a baby sister.  I wish I had a baby sister, wait I do....Leandra you know you wanna!  I'll babysit mittens on the 19th for you! :) just kidding

3 PM miles pushing two heavy kids in the bike stroller.  It was hot hot hot. :)  Avg pace was like 8.40 or so.  

I was on call for babysitting this morning so I wasn't able to get a run in.  My neighbor was having her baby and called me at 6 to go sit w/ her other kids until her sister could come.  She had a little boy 6 lbs 12 oz or was it 15 oz?  20 in long and she's naming him Owen. :)

5 miles w/ Lynsey.  Blisters still hurt and socks covered in blood when I got home :)  It's funny they stopped hurting towards the end.  Stepped on the biggest prickly patch and my shoes sounded like tap shoes.  Stopped and pulled out 10 stickers in one shoe and 18 in the other.

5 miles today.  Almost got hit again.  decided against running where there are intersections :) ha ha I don't think it's possible.  And saw Lynsey driving to the gym at mile 4.  Also saw Chad Bennett leaving for work.
