We met with the group at 5:30am at the trailhead by 9800 So. and the Jr. River Parkway. Jody from the blog was there for the first time, so to welcome her to the group, she got to drive us up to the top of 9800 So. Thanks, Jody! We then ran down; the idea was to practice downhill running, trying to get us ready for Top of Utah and SGM. I ended up running with Jody and Cheris for most of it. We went past the trailhead and ran up to 700 W., so we got a few hills in there also. It was a fun run, much easier running down then up obviously. The others there were Peggy, Lynette, Dean and Greg R.
Later I took my 9 year old to the Rec pool. I pool ran and did other exercises while he swam and played around. This way I got in another workout but didn't feel guilty because I was spending "quality time" with my son. I'm crediting myself with two more miles of running because I ran for about 30 minutes. |
