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.

Easy Miles	Marathon Pace Miles	Threshold Miles	VO2 Max Miles	Total Distance
7.00	1.00	0.00	0.00	8.00

Step endurance class at gym-1 hour equivelant to 6 miles. Ran 2 more on treadmill. 1 at 8:00 pace. I love Step class and I truly feel that some cross training for me makes a big difference. Plus, I love to do so many different things. Also did back/biceps. I upped my miles a little this week and so far I am feeling really great but I also have been eating better the past few weeks. Summer vacation really screws me up. I increased my complex carbs and I am trying to eat more veggies. Other than salad, I get really tired of raw veggies. Love 'em cooked though.

I am going to actually blog this so I will get my sorry butt out of bed tomorrow (which is my birthday). I am going to go to speed group with the Bingham Buttkickers at 5:30. I used to go a lot but it has been a while. I have to get up so dang early to get there but I think I need some group motivation on my speed.

is that the group meeting at S.J. park tommorrow morning? Im going to try to be there so you and Kelli should go if the BB group is those with Peggy, Cheryl, Cheris and Jody and all.

From Michelle on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:26:47

Yup, that would be the same group and yes, they are meeting at SJ Park at 5:30 to run 3-5k's. I'm sure it'll kick my hinder.

From walter on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:34:15

did you do the speed workout with them on tuesday? Have you met me before? if not maybe tommorrow, work on kelli and they sound like they'll have a full group there.

From Michelle on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:39:05

No, I wasn't there Tuesday. I wanted to do some 1 1/2's speedy so I worked on the treadmill at the gym. I haven't met you before but have looked at your blog a few times. You are an awesome runner. Did you see the comment I made on your blog about my brother?

From walter on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:45:19

His last name is Park. I looked up the ward directory and didnt see any Park in there. That didnt sound good for me huh? Maybe if I concentrated on religion like I do my running Id be up there in the top 10. Ill see you tommorrow it sounds like.

From Michelle on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:48:26

He is actually in the Bishopric (2nd Counsler I think). Anyway, see you tomorrow.

From walter on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:51:48

Oh i will be really embarrased if he's in my ward. Ill let you know. It sounds like hes in the ward that meets with mckee ridge subdivision.

From Michelle on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 17:53:53

That is where he lives is McKee Ridge. I guess I figured you lived close enough to be in his ward but I know they have split them several times.

From walter on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 18:17:37

yeah, he must be in that ward. I think they put on our Stake 5k this year and did a great job. I still hold the record if any of you want to try and come scratch my name of next years trophy! lol

From Michelle on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 18:43:39

Little secret. Actually, not a secret at all but just never tell him I said so but I am sure he had nothing to do with helping put it on. I'm sure the only way he would run these days would be after his dog that runs down the street. He isn't in very good shape right now (or for the past 8-10 years)but he is busy with church, etc.

From Julie on Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 19:04:35

Michelle, I am so glad you are coming tomorrow. I think you just want to spend your birthday with me. I think as long as we don't kill ourselves on the 5k's, we will be fine on Saturday. Call me if you don't know where we park.
