Week #4
Monday June 25th-Ran 3.5 trail miles and walked 1 mile
out and back to Dry Canyon with a side trek to check on Porter's rock. After Saturday's half marathon PR I was a little more sore than usual and was a bit worried about running today. I decided to just get up and do it anyway and see what I felt like. Of course, I was happy to be out there on the trails and although my calves and quads were a little on fire the beauty and love of the hills trumped the soreness.

Wednesday June 27th-Ran 5.5 miles
started from home and ran a loop with a hill that had an incline grade of 36%. I felt like the little engine that couldn't. Lots of alternating walking and running going on in this section. Luckily it lasted less than 1/2 mile. About a mile down the road I came upon a church with hundreds of people walking around in pioneer clothing. They were getting ready to head off on a trek. I've never gotten to experience that but I'm sure I could pull up my bootstraps and don my pioneer skirts and pull a wagon right along with the rest of them. It's probably quite a fun and unique experience.

Thursday June 28th-Ran 6.5 trail miles
with Lisa and Lilly. I got up at 4:40 am this morning and met these 2 girls at 5:00 am. (Waking up in the 4 o'clock hour-seriously?? I may have added a nap or two later in my day) These girls belong to the "Single-Track Girls" Facebook group I was added to a couple weeks ago. The exciting thing to me is both of these gals seriously live within 1 mile of me and I may be seeing more of them in the weeks ahead. We ran all over some trails in Provo Canyon and I was astounded once again at the beauty of the hills. Right as we started our run two deer crossed our paths. That was a nice little bonus of the morning.
