5 miles around my hood. It felt SO good to run again after taking a week off. My quads are still pretty pounded so I ran nice and slow. 

Running is my therapy. Looking up at Mt. Olympus and pondering life is healing for my soul. I've had a lot on my mind lately so today was good to process through some of it.

90 minutes on the spin bike. I set it up in the backyard so I had to wear gloves and arm warmers because it was only 50 degrees. But it was awesome. Maybe I should take up biking?

I'm planning on running Pipeline tomorrow morning. My favorite trail.

8 miles along the pipeline trail up Millcreek Canyon. The trees were colorful and the sky was so blue. I ran with my phone so I could snap some pictures. I stopped 5 times. This is why I don't run with my phone. 

I am missing my running buddies. I feel like everyone is recovering from their Fall races. I need some company. If anyone wants to run, let me know!

8 miles along my Holladay route. Walker Lane was glorious with yellow trees covering the street and dropping crunchy leaves to run through. Beautiful! 7:45 AP. I'm still taking it easy.

11 miles around Holladay and Murray. Beautiful day again. I didn't run until 10:00 which was nice so I could sleep in. My legs are starting to feel normal again. I had a few 7:05 miles. 7:20 AP
