Day 51

I was back out and running this morning... only two days after my 15 miler and I felt pretty much normal. My quads felt heavy at first, but they loosened up within a couple minutes. I am so so surprised at how well I am able to function - I remember after my first half marathon I tried to run a few days later... I barely made it 3 miles and felt crippled the whole time. Not anymore.

Now that Andy is here we got to run together again, so we headed back to my favorite trail (although this time we ran a different section of it). This section had some hills in it, including one gnarly one.

Can you see him? He's already at the top!

Andy eats hills for breakfast. I took it slower - didn't want to get dizzy - but still averaged a very respectable pace (9:42). Overall it was a good run. Also! I wore my new shoes for the first time running. I know I got them a month ago, but I've been slowly breaking them in. I felt like I was running on little clouds. I love new shoes.

Once we were cleaned up, Andy and I headed off for a day at the zoo. The sun was shining and the temperature was on the cool side, so the animals were out and about. The kids were also out and about (yuck). We have a good zoo in Seattle, so it was a day well spent.

After my parents got home form work we went to... wait for it... wait for it.... another casino! This one was up in the mountains, so the scenery was nice.

Mt. Si (I hiked it a few years ago)

My mom was a lucky little devil and I didn't do too bad myself. :)
