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

Woke up at 5:15 and met Julie, Angela, Jody and Cheris at the trail and ran 8.25 miles. Average pace 8:45. This is the longest I've gone since SG. I felt good cardio but my legs were achey and tired. I did do a lot of leg work this week so that was probably the reason. We had a couple of miles that were pretty speedy when we had a tail wind. Probably a little too speedy but thats okay.

It was great to run with you today! You did awesome, especially with tired legs. Have a great weekend!

Its ok to have some speedy for my speedy friend. lol Hey I just asked Jody if our paths crossed this morning. Did you see me? I saw a bunch of blogger and non blogger friends on there this morning. I even ran into a West Jordan police officer in full uniform. I asked what he was doing and he said just walking. It was weird! It was 6 in the morning and pitch black so when I came up on him it scared me. I thought he was in pursuit of someone so I had to make sure. That trail gets a little too scary for even me to be alone on.

We actually ran on the south side of 12600 So. so we didn't cross paths. It is close for all of us to just zip down there (except Jody who drove 25 minutes) well and me who it takes 15 minutes, but Julie and Cheris live right up the street so we run that part of the trail often.

I saw a few of the other BBKers around Gardner Village. Way to get out so early! Jody has to drive alot further. we should meet her around 35th south and do some runs there.

Thats right. What kind of friends are we? But then again, no one comes to run with me in Bluffdale either. Wait, I don't even like to run in Bluffdale because of the lovely wind we always have. If it isn't windy I will but that only happens about every 2-3 weeks.

Great job this week Michelle!

From walter on Sat, Oct 18, 2008 at 12:51:15

Michelle, Ill run with you and then we can go to WV and run with Jody. lol

Hey Marcie! I totally missed seeing you down there. Although Ive never missed you you came in right in front of some of my friends and afterwards they told me they were trying to catch you. funny!
