Monday - 5 miles around the hood with MR.  Found a network of running paths in the neighborhood. 

Tuesday - Went on a short (but steep) little hike with MR up Lone Mountain.

Wednesday - 7 miles around the hood.  Went up a road- wasn't sure where it was going, but it ended up creating a nice loop.  It's fun to explore new areas while running.   After the run, we went hiking at Red Rock.  4 or 5 miles total.  One trail was super rocky and steep.  The other was just a long gradual climb through juniper bushes and sage.  We walked the trail to where there a was a sign that said "edge of wilderness."  That's where we stopped and ate our lunch- on the edge of the wilderness.  I'm glad there was a sign there or we wouldn't have known.

Thursday - 7 miles.  Took MR on the path I went on yesterday.  Finished by taking a different route.  The weather is beautiful.  Tank tops and shorts.  I never want to see winter again.

Friday & Saturday - worked delivering flowers all day for a florist.  It's my taper weekend before the 1/2 in Utah so I just slept in and didn't run.  We delivered around 40 arrangements all over the city.  It's great when you have a job that brings smiles to other people.

My bishop when I first moved down here owned a floral shop. We would deliver for him on Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. But never to the edge of the wilderness.

How cool to hike with your sweetheart and have lunch at the edge of wilderness! :)

I can just picture you bringing smiles to people with your flower delivery job. You're perfect for it! :)
