Short-Term Running Goals:

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

Okay, let me start with how TERRIBLE I ate yesterday. I did okay until afternoon and then I went crazy with my daughters Halloween candy and then ate Pizza for dinner (Pizza Hut pan style, buttery crust) and bread sticks. Followed by an oreo shake. We were at our neighbors watching WEC Urijah Faber fight (he lost:( ).  I took my half an Ambien and went to bed and was out like a light and actually contimplated not going this morning and then remembered all the crap I ate yesterday and forced myself out. Now I probably only need to burn another 5000 calories today to burn it all off. I will not do that again. I felt so yucky. I think I will take half an Ambien tonight and tomorrow and hopefully I'll be back on my normal sleeping schedule.

Now for the run. Met Julie, Angela and Cheris at Julie's house and ran a 6.2 mile loop up towards the District and back out 11400 So. We witnessed a pretty nasty accident about 1 1/2 miles after we started. Kind of crazy. There were about 4 other cars that stopped to help so we felt like we didn't need to stick around. And besides none of us actually could tell what happened. We just heard a honk and then crash and looked up and saw what the result was. Anyway, I felt really great today until mile 5 and then I had to go potty really bad but made it back to Julie's house. 8:42 overall pace.

Taught my class at the church. I did my normal class for 45 minutes and then did a core class for 20 minutes. They all want me to do a core class each week so I'll be teaching the class for 60 minutes followed by 15-20 minutes of core. Thursdays are going to KILL me.

Great job getting out! I eat bad everyday. Glad you guys avoided the accident!

I am glad the accident was nowhere near you! I think we have to avoid the roads in the winter! Did you hear about the accident yesterday at 134th and Bangerter? And there was one there the day before, although not nearly as bad (no life flight). CRAZY drivers!!

Pizza is good, huh? For someone of your small stature, it's probably about 3 miles per slice just to break even.

I much prefer the 'Thin' crust from Pizza Hut.

Geez, thanks for reming me Cal! LOL Actually, I need a reminder. I have eaten crappy since Halloween. I don't know what my problem is. I am starting fresh though and getting back at it. Typically we go to California Pizza Kitchen for pizza and I get the Margarita, which is thin crust. SOOOO yum, so I'll have to try Pizza Huts thin crust. Hope your little weird pains are doing better.
