Ran part of the way to work. Made sure to wear some good compression shorts because we went to Lagoon yesterday and the already chaffed inner thighs got even worse after Rattlesnake Rapids and then walking around. They are really bad...worst chaffing I've ever had:( Anyway, decent run...AP 8:51

Lovely experience. Was supposed to run 12, but wore a new running skirt and my inner thighs started to chaff really bad. It got to the point at mile 6 that I really knew I was done. Julie finished the run and came back and picked me up.

5 from work out on the trail, up 10600 S. and back. I felt a bit sluggish and didn't wear my garmin. I think my time was pretty decent though.

Up too late at a concert last night and no energy today so nothing!

Back to work:( 5 out to Redwood along 9800 S. and back. AP 8:45. I felt good today!

Julie and I ran from the trail head in Bluffdale to 9000 S. and back. I was fine the first 10-12 miles, but started to really struggle towards the end. 9:15 AP. I wasn't tired or sore later so I know I ran way to slow, but my inner thighs were chaffed bad and my toes had some gnarly blisters under calluses. My newer shoes are strange...the only have 190ish miles, but I do better with the pair with almost 400 miles. I think maybe the new pair got broken in wrong???

8/11th day of vacation and slacking!

Ran 4 with Braydon and Jared. Braydon did great the first 2.5, but struggled the last 1.5. He starts football on Monday and he wanted to do something before since he has been working so much this summer and not working out.

I felt ok, but definitely feel the lack of running.

On vacation at my bro's cabin near Smith and Morehouse. Holy cow the air is thin...I sucked it up big time. I really intended to do 12ish, but that was enough!

3 VERY slow miles. I helped with pacing reactivations/waivers and those guys were slugs! Ran back to work. I really didn't feel like doing anymore...too dang hot!

Exact same route as Monday. I felt pretty good considering the heat and wind. My AP for the first 5 miles or so was around 8:35, but I slowed significantly the last mile to a 9:00 which made my AP 8:41.

I NEED to work out. I felt like crud yesterday after not getting a workout in. I was more tired and grouchy than if I would have just busted it out at some point...even if it was just a couple of miles, etc.

Didn't get a chance to run today. I helped with PT for work and had 4 split up throughout the day, which didn't leave me any time for myself. I planned to go when I got home, but I was sooooo tired from being on my feet and in the heat all day:(

I was sleepy this morning and really didn't want to leave my comfy bed:( It sure helps that I have to be up and at it for work. Ran to the trail and out to the first potty and back. Started slow and really picked it up. AP 8:40 and felt fantastic.

Ran to work this morning. I took the longer route on the JRP so I could get a little more mileage. It definitely is a good workout to run to work because I have to be here at a certain time so it forces me to run faster. All in all I felt good. First 3 miles were a little slower...funny because they are all downhill, but the rest was pretty flat (except the last 1.5). AP 8:45

Very hot and muggy this morning. Ran from work to the trail. Saw Shayne and ran a little with him and then helped pace an officer reactivation. He was SLOW and I really thought he was going to have a heart attack! My AP was nice and easy AGAIN 8:58. The mile I ran with the officer was around 9:20ish. I really hope my legs remember how to run fast.

I was a bit worried about how bad my legs would hurt this morning so I prepared! Lathered em up with Aspercream and took some Ibuprofen:) Did the exact same run as last Wednesday. Out 3.7 to the restroom on the JRP and back. My right leg was still a bit tight, but not unbearable. By the turn around point, it had relaxed pretty good and I was able to speed up a little with no more effort. Overall, a nice, easy, enjoyable run. AP 9:15ish

OMG! I didn't realize how tight the outside of my shins were. I "tried" to run this morning, but did not succeed. I made it to almost a mile (with several stops to try and relax or stretch my shins), but figured it was not happening. I turned around and got another 1/4 mile in and just could not, nor did I want to do any more. Soooo, I walked back to work and did a few laps of walking around the parking lot. I probably walked around 1 1/2 miles total.

I went into the gym and did a few pushups and sit ups and called it quits!

Later at home I got out my rolling pin and some Aspercream and rolled away. OUCH! Seriously, those muscles are so tight and there are spots that are just downright painful!

Still up at Snowbird this morning and trying to get ready and out! Thought I might try to run a few miles this evening, but nope...ankles still kind of sore from all the fun downhill. Back to the grind tomorrow!

Up at Snowbird for a fun weekend getaway. Sore, but not unbearable. Did lots of walking around with the kiddies.
