Getting back in the swing of things

Well I just got back from a nice trip and find that I am tired and weak.

At least that is what my jet lag has been telling me.

So, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things by doing at least one thing everyday.

Friday I started running again.
I actually ran on the treadmill (which I despise) at 9pm (which I actually really liked) for 20 minutes in total.
That included: 5 min. walking warmup, 10 minute jog, 5 min. walking cooldown.
I was slow, I wanted to give up (running, I am finding, is a mental sport), but I stuck to it and finished.

Saturday we went on a family bike ride.

While Speedy and Bug may not have posted about it, they were there.

We started at the mouth of Provo Canyon and biked up to Vivian Park.
It is a relatively tough ride.
At least it was for me and my little mountain bike. 
My sister in law Morgan switched me bikes (she has a lovely aluminum road bike) and suddenly the ride was much easier and considerably faster.
So we went up to Vivian Park and back down.
11.71 miles my friends!
It wiped me out but it was absolutely beautiful and super fun.

I am still jet lagged and really tired so this week I'm trying to run a little and do yoga everyday.
