I've gotten the running bug back and hope I can continue to enjoy it. I think for now, my short-term goal is to NOT burn myself out. I am pro at doing that. I have a half and full marathon that I am planning on racing in a few months. I hope to be trained well enough to PR in both, but if not...I will enjoy the ride.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Did step interval class at the gym. It was a bit of a butt kicker today. She had us at AT intervals every 10 minutes and then the last 5 minutes was spent above AT. I figure the class was equivelant to at least 6.5 miles. Jumped on the old tready after for an additional 3.75 miles at 8:30 pace. Boy, it sure is amazing how great I feel after taking a rest day. My feet hurt a bit and I'm not sure if it is bruising or Planters Fascitis flaring up. Have to wait and see I guess. My 2 boys have football games tomorrow so the 20 miler has to wait until Sunday. I'll probably get up and do a few easy miles tomorrow.

Way to go Michelle. I'm so glad that taking yesterday off helped you. I am sooo ready for my rest day tomorrow.

You guys have fun on Sunday, and I hope you are not getting Plantar's! Yuck! Does it ever just make you mad that when you recover from one thing another one pops up?

Dont you wish they had a pill for fatigue and running injuries? I guess its good to get a break from running. Im not telling if you dont. I had to have one this morning. If I can get up to our campground early enough tonight, Ill run a good 10 or so. Good luck on your 20 miler. My favorite 20 miler is up at the capitol. Start at the parking lot and run backwards through memory grove and around to 11th street in the Avenues, then over to Shriners and back to the City Creek canyon. Then up the canyon road to the top and back will give you 20 miles or real close to 20. It will give you 6 miles of hard hill, 6 miles of downhill and the other is flat with a little up and down. Do it do it now! (my arnold Schwarzenegger impression) See you guys next week. Im going to Bear lake for the weekend.

Glad you were feeling better today! Rest does a body well.

Have fun at football---we have one more week until soccer starts, then I do not know how I am going to do those Saturday runs (super-de-duperty early, I guess).
