Lonely Run

Take a good look at these pictures. Notice anything wrong? (besides the sun hat)

Yup. My dad is in street clothes. Why, you might ask? Well, it's because he ditched me. For football! I know. Crazy, right? So this daddy daughter run turned into daughter-just-run-by- yourself.

He was away at Bear Lake for the weekend so we planned all week that we would run on Sunday together. I loaded up the kids and headed up to his house because we were going to run hills this week. I was all ready to go when my dad said he just couldn't leave the game. Huh?

Well of course this makes me not want to go. I just couldn't force myself out the door. Finally I decided to just run on their treadmill because I'll be darn if he was going to ruin my training. After 2 minutes on the treadmill though, I had had it so I headed outside and just started running. I had no idea what route to take so I just ran. I wanted at least 4.5. So I kept running until I got to 4.5 and then just a little longer. There is just no flat areas up there in South Ogden. Every road I took had steep climbs. Oh well. It felt good. Well except to my right knee.

To give my dad some credit he was out of town the entire week and still ran 3 good runs. I actually slacked off during the week. So I guess we are about even.

Like my runner's pose? I get sick of just standing there for pictures.
