Ran Boston in April 2009 and had an absolute blast.
Half Marathon PR 1:35.
10k PR-46:20 (Obviously not a great short distance runner:)
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. Long-Term Running Goals: Under 1:30 half
3:15 marathon
Personal: Married with children. 17,16,14,11 and 7. 3 boys, 2 girls. I have the best husband in the world! |

Another fun filled 3 miles. I mixed things up a little today. Ran out 3200 W and back rather than down to 2700. 3200 seems to be a little less steep and it breaks the hills up. I definitely felt a lot bettter doing it that way. So, the past 3 days I have gotten stopped 1/2 mile in to my runs by neighbors and my brother. My positive attitude has made me more friendly dangit:)
Came home and did 20 (chair assisted) pull-ups, 30 (girl) push-ups, and 100 (MANLY) crunches.
First day I ran with my IPOD and I definitely think it helps me. No Garmin yet though...don't want to get too depressed when I see how slow I am:)

My home computer is out of order and my phone will only let me put in miles so I am having to wait until I come to work to blog until the computer is fixed or replaced.
Anyways, I didn't get to start until 11:00 today and it was already 85 degrees...ugh...I really feel for people in SG and Arizona at these times. I ran down to the trail and actually felt awesome. Jared met me down there with our son and we went out another mile and back. I had to wait 10 minutes for Jared to get there and the drinking fountain wasn't working so I sat in the heat, dehydrating and when I started back up, I felt like I could die...I averaged 9:30 miles for the first 3 and felt great and then slowed a ton on the last 2. My pace doesn't matter at all to me right now, just thought I would see where I was at by wearing the Garmin.

I didn't plan on 4 but it was soooo windy that I did an out route along 3600 and down by NorthStar Academy and back to Bluffdale Elementary and had my daughter meet me there to pick up the Kindergartener. Again, I started at 11:00 and I think it was at least 90 degrees. Yikes. Felt good all in all though.
Later in the evening, I started with a sharp pain in between in 2nd and 3rd toes on my right foot. I'm thinking it could be from the hard soled flip flops I've been wearing or from running. Will see how it feels in the morning. |

No running yet today. I woke up to go at 7:00 but the foot still hurts. I decided to wear cushioned flip flops to work and sit on my butt all day and see how it feels when I get home. If it is feeling good, I will go this evening with Jared.
Didn't get out tonight... the foot felt a ton better but I just didn't have it in me. Nights are hard. Especially after I work all day. |

Went a little later in the morning cuz I could and temps were PERFECT! Did out to 14400 S. and 3600 W. and back. I really like this because it breaks up the hills. Typically, I end up running most of the uphill on my way back but this way, I get breaks in between. Anywho, I wore the Garmin but didn't look at it until the end and actually averaged a 9:43 pace very comfortably. YAY...way better than I thought I would feel at this point!
Oh...the foot feels fine. DANG FLIP FLOPS! |

Ran the same route as yesterday. 3 seconds slower per mile and it felt harder. Proof that there are good days and bad. I did feel fine until I started on the mile long uphill at 3200 W. I hate uphill...I mean i LOVE uphill:) POSITIVE thinking. Who am I kidding?
I am kind of having running highs this week. I can't believe I have taken so much time off. I've forgotten how great I feel during and after my runs. SO theraputic! At this point, I am having to hold myself back from doing more miles for fear that I will hurt myself. Probably smart but I really do want to run further. Patience has never been my thing:) I will be up to 6 a day before I know it and I just have to tell myself that.
Good day all! |

Had my daughter pick me up 4 miles out today because of the wind. Well actually, she didn't show up when she should have so I walked around a mile after the 4 (which was nice to loosen up the legs). |

Welll, wasn't I a slacker this weekend:P I was seriously so tired when I got home from work on Friday night...I fell asleep without my teenagers home, 3 additional teenagers sleeping over and making a ton of noise, and the lights in the house on. Thank goodness for Jared staying up and taking care of everything. I woke up Saturday and still was exhausted. I decided to sleep in and try to get out Sunday morning. Welp, that didn't happen dangit!
So, here it is...slept in a little this beautiful morning and got up and headed out. There ya go, that's about it:) This was the mileage I intended to to Friday or Saturday and since that didn't happen, I did today instead but back to 4-4 1/2 tomorrow. My IPOD hasn't been working so I've been borrowing Jared's and my kids. The only one available this morning was my little cute 10 year olds...full of Justin Beiber and other Teeny Bopper crap, ugh. I finally turned it off around mile 5 because I was going crazy. I'm kind of a rocker.
Today felt really good and comfortable. I wasn't breathing heavy, the body felt good, heart was steady and strong. All in all felt fantastic...UNTIL, the dreaded mile in the wind, uphill back towards home. I slowed a ton and was ready to be done. My quads started to ache a little too. I guess ultimately, this stinking uphill will only make me stronger but seriously, every day? Well, off to the pool with the kidders. |

So, I couldn't get out in the AM because my boy had to be to football stuff at the high school early and I had to get to work. I had a football board meeting at CR Hamilton @ 7:30 so I decided I would run to and from the meeting. Little more mileage than I should've done but I figured it was split in 2 and should be ok.
The first part has about 3/4 mile of uphill and the rest is flat or down and I averaged a very comfy 9:30 solid. On the way back all but 3/4 is uphill and I felt AWESOME! I averaged 9:27 on that part and it felt effortless:) YAY! Sometimes I think I run better at night...depends on the night though. |

This was one of those early mornings when I probably should've not run but...
I knew this would be slow, legs were tired and achy and I was tired. Ran along 3200 W down to 2200 W and back home. I ran very comfortably until the uphill on 2200 (2 1/2 miles) and then kind of ran and walked the rest of the way trying to keep heart rate comfy and legs. Not a super run but at least I got out, right? |

I was extremely tired last Friday after running, cleaning, yard work, and then work so I decided to save my energy so I could have a decent longer run tomorrow:)

| One of those runs. 3600 down by Northstar and home. Felt okay until the last 1 1/2 uphill and the wind picked up so I did some walking on and off. With the walking, it is a 5 1/2 mile loop. |

I hope to get in 4 miles at some point today but I don't know. I was SOOOO tired when I woke up this morning. I had a really busy day yesterday and worked out in my yard and garden until after 9. We are getting ready to go to Lake Powell on Thursday and the prep work is a killer with 5 kids. I am going to do 10 miles tomorrow so I just might not get out at all today.
On a side note...my brother is supposed to be doing the Coeur d'Alene Iron Man this week and biffed it pretty bad in Powell last weekend and has muscles bruised, etc. around his ribcage. Uhh, let's hope for the best:S |
