find each others light

Met Deb, Hobbes and Betsy at 5:45 am. I just followed them. We went up to the top of the trail to La Caille and back. They talked about emergency preparedness the first 4 miles. I'm so not prepared. So I'm a little scared. Betsy was running circles around Deb and I and then way out in front. It was nice to run with company and I'm glad I never tripped on the trail. Deb tripped about 5 times and we were laughing. She didn't trip and fall, just little trips.

Fast 2 mile walk pushing 2 yr old in stroller. Beautiful afternoon. Love Spring!

I wore a hat cause I thought it would rain on me for sure...but it never did. Thought I might be going with Deb but ended up alone. It was windy but warm. I ran up Eastdell which I haven't done in a while. Had a head wind running up it to so I felt like I was barely moving ha!

9th grader has cheer clinics and tryouts this week. I'm nervous and excited for her to enter high school and maybe the world of cheer leading. We also need to start letting her drive (she's almost 15)! ah! I can't handle it! My kids are growing up! It all seems like yesterday for me, (driving/high school/cheer) but I guess I'm just really old now:(

Left at 6:30 and thought for SURE it would rain on me sometime, so I wore my raincoat. It's my bigger one that I hardly ever wear but my lighter one doesn't have a hood and I didn't want my hair wet today. I was too hot in it and of course it did NOT rain on me. I even wore old shoes. It was a beautiful spring morning with the birds singing loudly. I swear I heard some exotic bird at one point, not the sound I usually hear from the birds around here.

Lets talk about SMELLS! My favorite of course is the fresh, clean, spring, almost gonna rain smell. But it was also garbage day so GARBAGE, DRYER VENT (so dryer sheet smell, perfume) BREAKFAST/MUFFINS I'm pretty sure and CIGARETTE SMOKE. I usually don't see the source of the smoke smell but today he was right out on the sidewalk and this is not the area where I usually smell cigarette smoke. Anyway... I usually smell one, maybe two of these on a run but not all together so I had to write about it:) Trying to decide which smell I enjoy the most while running.

6am run up Little Cottonwood Trail...and back down. Went with Deb, Jill and Betsy but mostly ran with Betsy. It was my first time running this trail and I loved it! It was challenging but so beautiful and loved the trail on my feet. I might need to buy trail shoes... I'm trying to decide whether or not train for a marathon for Sept 8 or train to pace Betsy through the Wasatch 100 (she said it would be 12 miles somewhere. I think Lambs canyon). although when we were hiking some of the hills she said maybe I should pace her on some hills cause I was good at it. Road running is kind of boring after trails. I came home and ran a little to make it 7 miles. Betsy runs that trail all the time and we hoped to see a moose that she always sees in a certain area but all we saw were moose droppings/chocolate covered almonds:) Looked for Mountain goats too but didn't see any:( The temps were perfect and it was so beautiful and so close to home! Must do it again soon. Love SPRING!!!

What?? 29.75? Gotta get back out there now!;)

Oh and my 9th grader made JV cheer/song leader! We were up till midnight waiting to find out if she made it. Need a nap today!
