I ran for myself for the first time since moving today. James left yesterday for Provo and Caitlin opted for a day of rest. I got out later than usual and it was warmer than I like. Temp was in the low 70's with clear skies. Some wind but not enough to be an obstacle. When it did blow it felt good. Ran 4 miles even and felt pretty good. I knew I was abit dehydrated, I need to push more fluids. I think it bothers me the longer I am out. With Fontana on Saturday I need to make sure I am good and hydrated. Finished in 46:31. I will take it. Running here is very different than in St George. I ran mostly on the trails there and for the most part they were pretty level. Here, its nothing but hills. Doesnt' matter which direction I go, I get them coming and going. I believe that they are helping me though. Proof will be in my race times. We shall see.

Hoorah for hills!! I have no idea what long run I am supposed to be doing. I went to that thing and plugged in times and sorry but it was pacing me at 18 and 20 minute miles...I cannot do that if I tried. I think I will need your help figuring that out. or you could manually give me a training schedule. =P good job on your run madre keep it up!

You haven't blogged in forever! My job is to be the voice in your head that says, "Good running intentions are good."
