I ended up not getting out last night because my husband invited some friends over to watch the BYU game and the Jazz game. Out went running and in came the junk food! I at way to much!! Paula and I headed out today and my calves were tight and so I was unsure what to expect. About 1.5 miles into our run we had a 1 mile hill (gradual). I started feeling pretty good and by the top I felt great. The enitre run felt like I was making up for the past 4 weeks of hit and miss running and never feeling good. Mile 5 was by far the fastest, if I had to guess it would have been right around 8 min, maybe a little bit less. My Nike+ thing lost my workouts, time to get serous about a garmin. Anyways a fantastic run - they do not come around very often. Good stretching afterwards and I have some more muscles for my husband to work on tonight. Ave Pace: 8:41 Happy Running!

Sad Sad News:  I went to go leave for work today and my husband asked me to wait a minute and come to the back yard for a minute.  We had be vandalized last night.  There is a church behind our house and kids hang out and skateboard in the lighted parking lot.  The fence between us capstones on each of the posts.  The kids had knocked them off onto the pool.  Needless to say they ripped two big holes into the cover and made a huge mess!  The blog is not really the place to talk about this kind of stuff but I am so angry and I needed some place to let it out!!

Yah! Sounds like a great run, happy for you! Jazz game was a bummer though wasn't it? (didn't watch BYU, but they lost also didn't they?) Are you running tomorrow? Wondering if I can invite myself to meet up w/ you. How far are you from Daybreak?

Jody- Awesome! 7-8 miles tomorrow at 7am sounds great to me. You can call or email me w/ your address. (I don't think the 'private message' option on the blog is working) My work email is christi@summitmortgageut.com or office phone 435-673-2548. Thanks for letting me invite myself! It'll be fun!

Opps- I typed 7-8 miles, I meant 8-9! Not trying to cut it short!

That is horrible. I hope that it can all be replaces reasonably inexpensive. I hope they catch whoever did it.but probably not. I sorry it happened.
