This was my first run pushing Jack in the baby stroller. Heather was running 10 miles today and Jack and I joined her for the first few miles of her out and back route.  It was quite an adjustment pushing the stroller.  When I got home, I read about something called the Stroll Smart, that is designed to allow hands free running with the stroller.  It's a good concept, but the reviews are mixed from what I've seen so far.  Still, it may be worth trying.  I would like to be able to run with the stroller without feeling like I can't really run.

Group run with the black sheep. We ran a pace ladder 1min/2min/3min/4min/5min and back down, with equal time for recoveries.  Basically was an easy run with some surges.

Lots of thunder and lightning last night, and plenty of rain.  By the time I got out the door to run, the rain had passed though the air was still plenty cool--about 40 degrees.  I wore tights for the first time which seemed unnecessary at first, but the wind picked up enough in the second half of the run to make it a decent decision.  I ran through the U, Federal Heights, Aves, City Creek, Memory Grove. Pace was 7:35 per mile.

Run with the Radda gang.  It was still snowing a bit on my drive to Radda, but cleared up nicely.  It was still chilly, but a great temperature once we started to run.  Sam joined us. I haven't seen him since he and his wife Kelli had a new baby, Samantha Grace, last week.  I got to hear about Sam's new journey into fatherhood. I can certainly relate. 

 The run was easy pace. I am loving these easy runs this week.  My body seems very thankful.  This weekend is the Other Half half marathon in Moab.  This is Heather's goal race, though I'm also signed up.  I haven't yet decided whether to race it or just pace Heather.  It may be a game day decision.  Or, I may start out racing and if I'm feeling less than ideal, drop back and run with Heather.  In other words, my personal expectations for this race are barely registering.  I do look forward to Heather running strong, however.  She's got a cold this week, but I think she should be ok by race day.  I'm so impressed that she's been able to prepare for the half marathon just a few months after having the baby.

I went to bed last night thinking about the need to get up in the morning and run uphill.  The weather was ideal when I woke up, 48 degrees.  I ran up to Morris Meadow for a couple of loops, enjoying the amazingly clear view of the valley (storms are great for that reason alone).  Decided to head down to the base of City Creek on the shoreline trail. I had a blast divebombing through the singletrack in the midst of all the fall colors.  I started to ask myself why I ever run the roads during this part of the year.  Stayed on the trail down through Memory Grove.  Ideal conditions today.

Easy run from Foothill with a group of six or seven.  We ran up to the firehouse on 11th Ave. Nice and social pace.
