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.

3:15 marathon

Taught Sculpt class again this morning. I am actually pretty tired from last nights class so teaching the same thing again was tough. No mileage because it wasn't a cardio workout.

Upright bike for 60 minutes=6 miles. BORING. I think the Costco trip afterwards was almost a better workout. More exciting anyways:)

I am starting tomorrow at another gym also so I'll be teaching 5 classes a week now. Fun, fun!!!

Slept like a brick last night:) Got up early and taught Total Body class. I pushed a little harder today than I have lately. Trying to lose the weight that I've put on over the past 6 weeks:( I will pre-blog for this evening.

PM-Taught step class.

I am going to try and run 3 or 4 miles tomorrow and see how things feel. Right now, my leg feels great.

Didn't end up running today. My little guy fell asleep at 7:00 last night so he woke up at 6:00 when I planned on heading out. So, I didn't go early and the rest of the day ended up being crazy. Oh well, I'll try on Thursday.

Met the BBK's this morning at Bingham High and ran an easy paced 5 miles. It felt so good to be out running. The temp was so nice. The leg felt good. I could feel a little tightness but no pain. Our overall pace was 9:39. I planned on only doing 3-4 but with the road construction on 10600 So., we took back roads and I didn't know my way back. Oh well, 5 felt good:)

Went up to watch the Ogden Marathon. That is the first time I have watched the winners come through a marathon. Way awesome. I was so impressed when Walter came across in 4th place. What a stud! Oh and he got his long term goal there (he beat Sasha). I also saw lots of other bloggers that did extremely well. 

I ended up running about 2.60 miles up the course so I could run the rest of the way in with Julie. I saw Kelli and Michelle Putnam kicking some butt:) I met up with Julie and ran back. Fun day!

Taught Step this morning and it SUCKED! The microphone was having issues and stopped working about 10 minutes in. We were doing travel step with intervals and it is REALLY hard to yell and have your heartrate that high and try to cue the next combo. I'm pretty sure my class hated me today. Oh well, there's always tomorrow for dreams to come true:) Can anyone name the movie that song is from?

Met the BBK's and ran 6 miles. Very uneventful. It felt pretty tough to me. It amazes me how fast we lose fitness. I've still been doing other stuff but running is different I guess. I feel like I am starting from scratch. Overall pace 8:42.

Met Julie this morning to clock the Bluffdale 10K. Actually we were going to do both the 10K and the 5K but we were both beat and decided to just do the 10K. Kind of tired and overall pace was around 9:00 and ended with 6.88 miles. We got back to the car and Julie had dropped her key somewhere and I had locked my keys in her car so we called my hubby and he brought a spare and we went back to where we thought she'd lost it and WALLA, there it was. We had some good laughs:) We ended up being off on the route and I was stressed about it so I got home and asked Jared to go with me on our bikes and reclock it. We got it right. I ended up with another hour of biking so I am counting 6 more miles for that but I figured I would just round it to 12 overall miles. I decided that I really HATE biking. I couldn't find my cycling shoes, I think I left them at the gym. Oops! So I had to ride my daughters bike and it just overall sucked. I think I work harder and go slower uphill riding a bike than when I run up a hill. Just a thought:)

Taught total body class early. Was hoping nobody would show up but at the last second, 4 girls came.

Went to Timpanogos Cave. The hike up isn't an easy one. Fun though.

I went to teach my class this morning and only one girl showed up so she said she'd jump on the treadmill so I didn't have to just teach 1 person. So, I got to come back home and sleep for another hour.

I headed to the gym and did Ashli's step class. I haven't done it forever and it was fun to just participate:)
