8 became 6 and 6 became 4...

...and 4 became 3 and 3 became 6! So I have been doing a wonderful job on my saturday runs. Last week I ran 7 and the week before I ran 6 and yesterday I had set the goal of running 8...its amazing how much easier it is to train without 500 pages of reading a week and 13 hour days! My only mistake yesterday morning was I didn't get up tell 6:30 and didn't make it out the door tell 6:53...I don't have any pictures to prove it (sorry). By the time I hit the road the sun was totally risen- and HOT- hot weather is the death of me and my running abilities. I hadn't even made it half a mile before the war in my head about how to cut the run shorter was in full wage...and the wrong side one- I cut my 8 mile run down to 3 miles :( when I got back, I realized there was a walking Relief Society group at 8 so I decided to do that. But only after showering and putting on a cute running outfit (lame I know...but I was going on the biggest date of my life since Tyson- I had to make a good impression, and find my a winning running partner). The walking group ending up being a jogging group so I am totally glad I went and I found me a match. We ran another 3 miles...she is fast and seems always willing to push it (this is good since I totally lack pushing it skills)...so we will how this relationship grows and if she calls for a second running date :). I am so glad Lori picked us out houses, because no other runners will compair to the two of you and I can't wait to be back ...tomorrow morning I will pick each of you a cow ( since that is all I have to offer here in Lehi)

So I'm totally feeling left out. I'm going to have to find me a new running partner too. lame.
I am excited however about having my own cow. Dream. Come. True.

don't feel too left out, friend. you'll have to find a new PERMANENT running friend in a year. :'(

however, i am excited for august/september when we start running again (and NOT in the heat)
