Well after a few days off because of pure laziness, and lack of motivation, I finally got my self out the door!  Left the house thinking of a 4 mile run, then I kept going, because I kept thinking of all the people who push themselves through injury, and can keep on going.  Felt good today, maybe those extra days were a good thing!

Finally got out of bed early, and took off before the sun came up.  It was nice and cool outside for a change, it sure makes it easier to run! Beautiful morning, so glad I got up early!  Nice 5 before a double shift at the restaurant, I hope I don't regret it!!!!

So I got up early again, and did the same run as Wed., I downloaded the imapmyrun app. on my phone, and the gps showed it as 5.76.  But the same website (mapmyrun) that you do manually, only shows it as 5.02....hmmmm I'll take the 5.76!!! Nice morning, working another 10 hr day at the restaurant, then heading to Jordanelle for the weekend!! woo hoo!!

boy am I lazy!! finally got out the door again today, I really like this route, because 4 miles of it is on the trail by a canal, and it's quiet and cooler. And, right now there aren't many bugs!!! I think the anticipation of getting up starting Monday at 4:45 has me trying to sleep in every morning until then!!

So I decided to run to West Jordan Soccer Complex to watch my friends son play a game in the Adidas Cup Tournament.  It was a strong head wind, and I kept asking myself why I chose to do this!! Well, I made it to the game, glad I got in a run.  I can't understand why my GPS on my phone shows 8.5 miles, but map my run shows 6.5, so I split it at 7......

So with school starting, it's hard to run.  I left at 9:05, and it was so stinking hot today, 3 was all I could muster up.  I don't want to get into a rut like I did last year, and at least I have my own TM now, but it's hard to run TM when it's nice outside!!! uggggg.....

Took advantage of the cloud cover and took off! Ran uphill 2 miles, into the wind (which felt great!), so that I could run downhill back home.  Even with the cloud cover and wind it was super hot.  Hope the kids on bus enjoy the stench!, cause no time to shower before my "noon" (10:30) bus run!!!

3 miles on the TM again, I am going to try to run this M-F, and then a long one on the weekends, per Russ' suggestion.
