around the hood to the light on Highland, down the hill and then back up it. Ouch. That killed my lungs and burned my thighs and it felt marvelous. Then back around the hood to home. I went on a drink drive this morning and saw soo many runners out. Fit, in shape, skinny, tough people. And I thought to myself over and over, "that used to be me." I've gained 20 lbs. Not joking. 20. I feel like a fat out of shape cow. I keep telling myself that as soon as school starts, I'll get back out there consistently. I think I would like to run the Deseret News 1/2 next year. I know that's not til next July, but it looked fun. It starts up Emigration Canyon, which I love. Have many fond memories of Emigration and then a few that aren't so fond. {meteor shower night..where I was kidnapped by crazy Nickie and I feared her lesbian attraction and bipolar moodswings} not that there's anything wrong with that. Wow. I get off track sometimes don't I. Anyway, that's a far off goal but I think it would be fun.
Nice temps out there today. It's like the world knows school is going to start in a week and its time to cool down. Even though its still the beginning of August. 
Everybody dance now.

My breathing was in sync and good today. My lungs felt good and so did my head. It was too hot, I went too late and my body was tired. But bc my breathing was on my side today It felt really good. My favorite part was when a black chevy impala drove past me. {Dean Winchester's car} so awesome. 
Everybody dance now. 

I didn't sleep well last night. First day of school today so I was up at 6:30 officially. {I mean out of bed. not just awake} and drove my girls to their first day of high school. Crazy weird. They were so nervous and I felt bad for them. I know they'll be fine, but in their minds, they don't know that. Then rushed home to get Soyer up bc he is on safety patrol the first week and had to be at the school early. {I tried to talk him out of this nonsense but he wouldn't hear of it} Then back home to finish getting Oliver ready and walk him over. By this time it was 8:30 and although I was in my running clothes, It was hot, I was tired and I had given myself permission to walk/run a short distance. So that's what I did. I ran the hill on Highland so that's good, but overall, it was a lame run. NICE to know I was coming home to a quiet home though. So I will clean, mow the lawn, work, run errands', all the same stuff I usually do, but I'll be ALONE!! HOORAY!! Thank heavens for school And Thank the maker for giving people the desire to be teachers and spend the whole day with my children, making them smarter. I have a lot of respect for them bc I could Never do their job. 

Four. Much better today. I felt a lot more rested, went a half hour earlier than yesterday and it was cooler temps. Sun behind clouds so that was nice. EDN

Three. Ran around the hood, down highland to Falcon, around the park and up the hill home. The hill kicked my butt. I get to go to lunch with a paint rep today. LUCKY ME! EDN

Glad I made it back home safely. I had to stop for 5 different cars pulling out of side streets that either didn't see me, or didn't care. Crazy school traffic. Nice temps. Love the overcast skies

I made it to the top of NC and then my music died. I am so sick of my music right now but I still rely on it to take my mind off of running. I spent the last 1/2 mile repeating to myself in my mind "your body's not tired, your mind is..your body's not tired, your mind is.." It's hard trying to get back in shape! I love/hate it!
EDN. 

Every mile counts right? Due to other cirucumstances that are not important or just excuses, I will not list why I only made it one mile today.
