Ran with my brother-in-law's nephew, Eric Lloyd. His dad died of melanoma that spread to his brain about 10 years ago. His dad use to run marathons. Eric ran his first marathon this year and it was really emotional for him to run a marathon since his dad used to love running so much. I am sure his dad was with him that day! He facebooked me this week about running so I coaxed him into running with me today. He was a sport to meet me at my house when he lives in Eagle Mountain. I thought he lived in Draper, so I felt bad that he had such a long drive. It was fun catching up, I hadn't seen him in a loooong time. We ended up at a friends house for a pit stop and then made my friend run the last 6 with us. He is on SL SWAT team and was up until 3 this morning. It really took some coaxing to make him join us for the last few miles! haha! We ran to my parents house and my dad had to drive us all home. I made him stop at my favorite drink place to get me a Diet Pep and he bought drinks for everyone and drove us all home. I asked my dad if it reminded him of my teenage years?! ha! It was a fun run today. I felt like I could have run another 10. I love days that running seems easy. I felt crappy this morning and was wondering how I was going to make the 16, but downed 3 Ibuprofen and a half of an Excedrin with a banana and it must have done the trick because I started to feel better after the first couple of miles. Beautiful, cold day! Head cold is on the mend! Yeehoooo!
