Personal:

I started running in April '09 and run to maintain some balance in my life.  Apparently I have an addictive personality so I figure I should do something positive with it.

I was really hoping to run yesterday but I ended up having a crazy busy day and wasn't able to get out.  Such is life.  So today I went and ran the BST in Draper out to the Gasline Trail, then up Ghost Falls and down Corner Canyon road.  Fairly muddy near the top of Ghost Falls but wasn't nearly as bad as I had imagined based on reports from others earlier in the week.

Still feeling a bit winded when I push it too hard, but my fitness is coming back, slowly.  Ankle felt good for the most part but was definitely sore afterward due to all the instability from the mud and what not.  My right IT band felt tight when I was coming down Corner Canyon road so I eased off just to make sure I didn't do any damage that would sideline me.  All these little things ya gotta be careful of when starting to train again!

All in all, a really great outing on a beautiful 70 degree day.

It's amazing what one day will do. And I guess it will all go back to zero once this next storm hits.
