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.

3:15 marathon

My run really sucked today. I fell asleep at 10:30 last night and my sons new football decided to call at 11:00 and woke me up. Needless to say I was a bit irritable. I didn't fall back to sleep until 1:00 and woke up at 2:00 with a bad pain in my neck at 2:00. Woke up at 5:00 to get ready for the run. Met Julie at her house at 5:45 and drove up to Wasatch Blvd.. We ran up Wasatch (HOLY CRAP) and then down 9400 S. and back along 1300 E. then ran up the Draper Trail for 5.2 more miles to make it an even 18. We had some great miles but over all our pace was 9:00. I don't know what the deal was but I felt like crap today. |

Went to Step Endurance class in AM. Equivelant to 6.5.
PM-Ran down Millcreek Canyon with my brother and a friend of his.7.25 miles at 7:31 pace. This felt great, other than having to go potty really bad last 1 1/2 miles. |

| I don't know if any of these miles were actually easy. Ran with Julie and her sister, Angela. Started at Albertson's in Draper and ran around the parking lot and warmed up. Great idea for me cuz I was able to run in and use the potty before we started our run which resulted in a great cramp free run! First 2 miles were a bit up hill but we did them in 9:17 and 8:55. The third mile is a pain. WAY up hill for a long time so we slowed to 10:34. The next 3 were mostly up 8:50, 8:47, 8:47. Turned around at La Caille and the rest of the way was mostly down hill (still a little up but nothing like the first half) 8:36, 8:31, 7:52, 7:17, 7:44, 7:56 and :48 for the final .11. All in all a great run and I feel good now. Hopefully all this up hill will pay off for St. George. Overall pace-8:35. |

Had a great run today. Ran to Texaco on 13400 So. and back by way of North Star Academy, then down to 2200 W. and finished the last .30 with the lovely hill on 2700 W. (by the way I still kept a 9:00 pace on the hill). There wasn't any wind today (very unusual for Bluffdale). My left leg felt a bit tight and sore on the outside of my shin but relaxed after about 3 1/2 miles. Pace-8:49
Oh, one last thing. I got up at 6:00!!!!!!! I have the hardest time getting up before 7:00 except to do my long runs but I did it and hopefully this will be the start to something good. |

| I have decided I really like to do speed work on the treadmill or on the track. I went to the gym and warmed up for 3 1/2 at a 9:00 pace, then did 1 1/2 at 5k pace (7:15), recovered for 4 1/2 minutes, another 1 1/2 at 7:12, finished up at 8:55 pace. Felt great but really sweaty. I think some of my sweat flew on the guy next to me because he left really quick. After I was done running I did some shoulders/tris/abs. I don't know if the weight lifting I do helps or hurts but I love it and can't give it up. However, I have backed off on leg weights. |

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. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me!!! Ha, ha-I'll float my own boat. Woke up at 5:00 and had a bowl of oatmeal. Met at SJ Park at 5:30 with the BB-Crew. Ran 3-5k's (actually each one was a little short). First one warm up in 25. I didn't push lap time so I am not sure what my total time for each was but I have the mile splits. 4-7:49, 5-7:53, 6-7:22, 7-8:12, 8-7:46, 9-7:11, last .15-1:04. I cooled down for about a 1/4 m but didn't clock it. Overall pace-7:54. I felt really good today and am confident for Hobble Creek.
I have to go over to the Stake Center at 9:00 this morning and teach Total Conditioning. I am going to try and take it easy. I won't count any miles for it because I am not going to do the pliometrics so mainly just some weights. I'm sure I will be tired later and I won't have a chance to rest at all today. Going to lunch with girlfriends at 12:30 and out with hubby tonight. I may take tomorrow off or just run an easy 3-5. We will see.
Okay, so I wasn't going to work very hard at TC but it is hard not to when you are the instructor so I am giving myself another 3 miles for the class. |

Started at 5:45 or a little later after my parking lot warm-up and potty break in Walgreens. Headed up Wasatch from Albertson's in Draper. Improved on the uphills a ton today. I didn't have to walk at all up the steep monster. We planned on running our first 15 a little slower and picking it up for the last 5 but we ended up going faster the whole time. Our overall pace was 8:20 with all those monsterous hills. I am happy with that. We actually ran our last mile in 7:45 so we had a little kick left in us. All in all a great run and I am feeling great but ready to take it a little easy this week in prep. for Hobble Creek. I think I will cut my mileage back a little this week and not work on much speed. Thanks Julie and Angela for a great run! |

| Oh how I love the day of rest. Although I rested Friday (but I felt guilty about it). I slept so good last night and just didn't want to get up this morning so I slept until 8:45. Off to get ready for church and looking forward to this week. My right knee is a little poppy like. |

| Went to the gym and did shoulders/tris/abs and then jumped on the treadmill and did 6 1/2 miles in 1 hour. 9:13 pace. It felt really great and very comfortable and just what I needed. I love when I have a nice recovery run that feels effortless. Tomorrow won't be quite as easy with hills at speed group. |

| Well, I met the B-Buttkickers at Parkway Palisades at 5:30. We warmed up for 2 1/2 then went to P. Palisades Dr. and did 1 mile hill repeats with active recovery in between. We did 4 of these and then did 1 minute sprints up the hill at the end and recovered for about a half mile at the end. I forgot my Garmin this morning so I went off Julie's and she had that we did 8:32 average with recovery and all. I feel great and it was a great work-out. I was a little nervous to do hills this morning cuz my lower back and left leg were bugging me a bit last night. I called my neighbor (chiropractor) and he fixed me up and then I iced it good after and woke up feeling good. My left calf was still a little tight the first mile or so but loosened up and felt better. Thanks BB's for another great run. Can't wait for Saturday!!! |

| Well, for every great day it seems there needs to be a crappy day that follows. I went to step class (which I normally love) and it sucked today. She did so much jumpings and turning and I thought I was going to fall on my butt. My shins really started to hurt too. My lower back is still giving me a little grief so I am off to the Chiropractor this afternoon. I think my hip flexors are really tight and that is what is causing my back pain. I'm really trying to stretch good and hopefully it'll feel better. After Step I jumped on the treadmill and ran 1 1/2 miles to finish out my workout. Also did Back/biceps and lots of stretching. |

| Ran with Julie and Angela today. Wanted to have a nice easy recovery paced run but of course we end up running a little faster than planned. It felt like a comfortable speed though and I feel good now so maybe my slow days should be a little faster than I think. We talked the whole time very easily so who knows. Hopefully it was slow enough and I have enough juice for Saturday. Taking tomorrow off totally and I am going to stretch and ice today and tomorrow. I think my back pain is due to really tight hip flexors so a little stretching will probably do some good. Overall pace-8:38 |

| Well, I went to bed last night a little tired but woke up very refreshed this morning. I am glad I am taking the day off. My back is still hurting a little but nothing major so I'm hoping that some rest today will really help it and I will be ready to go tomorrow. |

Ate groats and eggs for breakfast @ 4:45. Took Imodium and 3 Ibuprofin. Drank a Zip Fizz and 1/2 Clif Bar @ 6:00. Got to start line at 7:00 and got to what we thought was a good position but ended up being further back than we thought. Race started at 7:30 and I got stuck behind the big slow group so my first mile kind of sucked. I ran with my next door neighbor (Jake) that is 16 and Julie. The most Jake has ever run is 8 miles and I was so impressed that he kept up and ended up sprinting at the end and beating me by about 5-10 seconds. What a stud!!! Julie did so awesome also. She really keeps me going. She is such a great running partner. She keeps MY head on straight.
1-7:52 Lots of slow peoples I had to pass. Kind of ticks you off when they are taking up the whole road and you have to exert more energy to pass. Oh well, next time I'll get further up front.
2-7:02 Feeling good
3-7:31 Still good. Took Lemon Lime GU.
4-6:52 Sped up hoping to make up a little time from 1st mile.
5-7:40 Hmmm? Dunno, I think this is where my left leg started really hurting.
6-5:58 Well, I think I felt a little too good.
7-7:34 Now I'm payin' for it. Almost puked.
8-7:26 Still Payin'
9-7:17 Right on
10-7:14 Feelin' good. Took an Espresso Love GU
11:7:42 Starting to get tired
12-7:29 Really tired.
13-7:19 Adrenaline kicked in.
.02-:05 Yeah!!!
I measured 13.02 (a little short), everyone else measured around 12.90, so I don't know what the actual distance was. I am so excited cuz I beat my goal by 3 minutes!!! It is now 4:20 and I just got home from my sons football game and I am feeling awesome. A little tired but not too bad. |

My daughter started Middle School this morning so I needed to be home to see her off so no road running for me this morning. Besides, I wanted to do some weights at the gym. Ran on treadmill at 8:58 pace for 7 miles and ran last mile at 8:00 pace. It was a nice recovery run and I felt like I could've gone forever. It is nice to know after pushing so hard in a race 2 days ago that my body could just keep going. My back muscles were a bit sore yesterday and so were the tops of my quads but other than that I felt really good.
Oh, did shoulders/tris/abs at gym also. |

| Met group at Riverton High track @ 5:30 and ran half hour warm-up around in neighborhoods. Most of the group decided to just go for an off track run but Julie, Cheris, Peggy, Walter, Scott and me did 6x800's with 400 recovery in between. I did all of them in 3:30 except the first which was a few seconds faster and the last was about 10 seconds slower. I did not feel it today. I am tired and I'm sure still recovering from Hobble Creek. After the 800's Peggy, Walter, Scott and me did a 400 with a 400 recovery and 2x200 with 200 recovery. I ran 2 more easy laps with Cheris to cool down. I felt like I had lead in my shoes today but still made good time. With recovery and warm-up and cooldown still averaged 8:35. |

| Went to step at the gym and we did the same routine as last week. SO MUCH turning and jumping. My legs were so tired and they started to really hurt. I had planned on running 2-3 on the treadmill after but didn't because my legs just weren't feelin' it. I did back/biceps/abs and stretched really good also. I figure I'll make up the miles tomorrow cuz I have to teach after my morning run so that should give me about 12 for tomorrow. |

| Well, I was supposed to go run with Julie and Angela this morning @ 5:30 but I couldn't sleep (I had a bit of an upset stomach) so I texted Julie and told her I wasn't coming. I'm supposed to go over and teach Total Cond. at the church @ 9:00 but I don't think I'm gonna do that either. Hopefully I feel better throughout the day and can sneak a few miles in somewhere. I'll report back if I do. |

Did step interval class at the gym. It was a bit of a butt kicker today. She had us at AT intervals every 10 minutes and then the last 5 minutes was spent above AT. I figure the class was equivelant to at least 6.5 miles. Jumped on the old tready after for an additional 3.75 miles at 8:30 pace. Boy, it sure is amazing how great I feel after taking a rest day. My feet hurt a bit and I'm not sure if it is bruising or Planters Fascitis flaring up. Have to wait and see I guess. My 2 boys have football games tomorrow so the 20 miler has to wait until Sunday. I'll probably get up and do a few easy miles tomorrow. |

| Got up at 5:00 and met Julie at her house @ 5:45. We drove up to Draper to run Wasatch and it was SOOOOO windy up there so we drove back to Julie's and started there. We headed out to 9800 So. to 4800 W. and headed to New Bingham Highway then turned around. I felt like CRAP today. I had no energy and really struggled the last 6 miles or so. Although we still ran the last 3 at 8:00-8:15 pace. Our average pace was 8:42. The wind was quite bad on the way back and it really slowed us down. It really reminded me of the SL Marathon and how beat up I felt from the wind. I really hate running Sunday cuz I lose my favorite rest day. I had to go to church and because it is the 5th Sunday, I had to do "Singing Time" for the entire Primary time (almost 2 hours). Not fun. |

Had crappy run yesterday and really didn't want to run today so I went to the gym thinking I'd do a cycle class. Got there and they had changed the time for the Holiday so I missed it. So, I did shoulders/tris/abs and jumped on the treadmill and did 5 nice, relaxed miles at a 9:13 pace. Wanted to do more but I had to get down to pick-up the kids from the childcare center. I am not at all sore from the 20 yesterday so I am thinking the wind was to blame for the bad run. Maybe the fact that I ate a hamburger and a hotdog the night before didn't help either. I typically eat pizza the night before long runs and races. I guess that is what works for me. |

Crazy hill Tuesday with the BB's. It actually wasn't too bad today. Probably cuz I missed one of the hills and ran a flat mile after a quick potty stop. A lot of people came today. I felt really good today considering I ran 20 miles two days ago and didn't rest yesterday. It was quite cold and I'm not ready for winter. I feel like we just got out of winter, dangit! Average pace 8:34. I would've liked to go another 1 1/2 but had to get home to get kids off to school. Oh well. |

Did Step class at gym. It went a little over so that is why I added the .5. It was a great class today and I had fun. Did back/biceps/abs also. Wanted to do a few miles after but once again I had to run down to get my cute Gavin from the Child Center. Tomorrow will be a great workout and I HAVE to teach my class so I probably need a little extra energy.
Well, I was feeling a little guilty about my lacking miles this week so when my middle schooler got home to watch the 2 year old, I took off and ran 3.75 more. I ran a little faster than I should've dangit! 8:35 average. Not super speedy but faster than I wanted for a slow day. Oh well.
Got new shoes after the gym and wore them on my afternoon run. I'm going to start keeping real track of how many miles the have instead of guesstimating.

Met at SJ Park at 5:30 to do 3-5k's with the BB's. I really didn't feel my very best today but averaged 7:51 overall. That is 3 seconds faster average than last time we did these. My stomach was quite upset today and I had to stop after the 2nd lap to go potty. Note to self: DO NOT eat zucchini right before I go to bed. DUH!!! I've gotta go over to the stake center and teach total conditioning at 9:00. I'll probably add some more mileage for that later.
Well, back from TC and I worked very hard today and got my heart rate above AT several times. I am going to give myself another 5 miles for the hour long class.

Well, I really planned on running this morning but let me start listing the excuses of why I am more than likely not going to. I am sore from my class yesterday. I think my triceps are the only thing on me that isn' t sore (cuz I didn't push them too hard), I am tired, I have to make jam with the bushel of peaches my neighbor brought me from Brigham City, I have to go help in my sons class at 11:00, it's house cleaning day since we have football all day tomorrow and I have to get in our little SJ half marathon we are doing early, it's short day so my kids will be home early, HOLY COW-I think maybe I just want to go back to sleep:) Basically I think a rest day from running might serve me and my family well. I'll report back if I feel too guilty and decide to do something.
About 2 minutes after blogging the above, I decided to go bike at the gym. I hurried there and jumped on a stationary bike for 60 minutes. It was nice to not have the impact today and I was able to read my ACE book. |

The BB's did our own South Jordan Half Marathon this morning. 18 of us showed up. We started at Bingham and headed down 2200 W. to 9800 So. and headed west all the way up and through a neighborhood then back down to 4000 W. and headed South to 11800 So. and headed east to 2700 W. and back to 11400 So. then up to 2200 W. and finished back at Bingham. This was a pretty tough course. Lots of uphill, some down and lots of flat. My hubby was our water boy. He met us every 3 miles with water and that made it nice to not have to carry any. I ran with Julie and Angela most of the time and then they got a little ahead of me. Peggy, Amy, Greg and Mike led the pack until the end and Julie and Angela passed them. I was so happy for Julie. She needed that boost of confidence. We definately had a negative split. Our first few miles weren't super speedy but we sped up as we went. I guess a progressive tempo. My time was 1:44:40. Right about an 8:00 average. I feel this would be a good doubler so I feel like I should be able to St. George in 3:30 or less:) Thanks Cheryl for planning the race. You're awesome:)
I did about 1 1/2 mile warm up and 1/2 mile cool down. Didn't clock it.

| Yes, that is a 10 you see on sleep hours. I fell asleep last night at 10:10 and woke up just after 8:00 this morning. I feel totally refreshed. I'm suprised at how good I feel today after all the miles I put in this past week, having 2 speed workouts and a race yesterday. Well, not an official race but a race for myself anyway. I am looking forward to tapering after this next week and getting a little more "normal" in my life (whatever that might be). Everyone have a wonderful day of rest:) |

Well last night was interesting. The hubby and I fell asleep at 11:00. At 1:03 the phone rings and we all know when that happens your heart starts pounding thinking something is wrong somewhere. Well I grabbed the phone and it said "UNKNOWN NUMBER" I answer and no one was there. I actually was able to fall right back to sleep. 3:04 it rings again, this time I grabbed it on the first ring and it said 000-123-4567. My parents are in Africa on a mission and this is the number that shows up when they call (they call from their computer on SKYPE). I picked up and no answer. 3:14 it rings again and same thing, no answer. I started to get worried thinking something was wrong so I ran in the office and emailed my dad to see if everything was ok. He didn't respond so I got back in bed and was able to sleep until 6:30. I checked my emails again this morning and there was one from my dad and he said he was messing around with SKYPE and couldn't get it to work. I was a little angry to be bugged 3 times in the night. For those of you who know me well, you know my sleep is PRECIOUS!
Anyway, on to my workout for the day. I went to they gym to do weights and the treadmill. Started with shoulders and tris (no abs-have to do it later). Jumped on the treadmill and did 6.6 miles at 9:05 pace and 2.4 miles at 8:34 pace. Felt good but REALLY bored today. I really wish they had something to watch other than News, etc. They need a room with bikes and treadmills (like a cycling room) with a movie going (sound and all). I think that would be awesome. I'm noticing that my heart rate is staying around 35-40 beats below my AT on these recovery runs and that when I'm done I am fully recovered in 2-3 minutes. Doin' something right I guess. |

Speed work with the BBs at Bingham's new track. We started with a 2 1/2 mile warm up off the track. Started on the track with 4x600's. First 400 at 10k pace and last 200 all out followed by a 400 recovery in between. 1x1200 at 10k pace with 400 recovery another 2x600, then 800, 600, 400. Cooled down for 400. I didn't feel too great this morning. My stomach was a bit upset when I woke up and it kind of stayed that way the whole workout. Thought I may throw up a few times but didn't. Overall pace-8:00. My warm up miles were around 8:50 average so all in all my track pace was good even with the recovery.

| So, no running for me today. Wanna know why? I have a major chaffing (sp?) problem from my sports bras under my boobs. Over share probably. Actually the chaffing started to get better but I think I was allergic to something I put on it and now I have this REALLY ITCHY rash there. It is making me crazy. I couldn't sleep last night very well because it itched so bad. I just read online that I could use hydrocortizone cream and it may help it heal. My kids have eczema and I have a presription of some really good stuff that we put on them so I just applied my first bit so we'll see if it helps. If anyone has any wisdom or knowledge in this area let me know. I feel like a total butthead. I'm not injured dangit but can't run without a bra or I might knock someone out! |

My chaffing looks a little better today. I was going to get up and run but a new problem presented itself. I think I may have planters fascaitis. I had a couple twinges of pain after hobblecreek and then everything was fine but last night I'd been wearing NO CUSHION flip flops while shopping at Costco and my left foot started to hurt. I thought it would be okay so got my running stuff out for this morning but when I got up at 5:00 it was still hurting.
I went over to teach my class at the Stake Center and everyone was very talkative this morning so the workout wasn't the greatest so that's why only 3 miles for it. I am getting a little frustrated teaching these women. They complain that they are out of shape but as I'm trying to tell them what to do, they stop and talk. Oh well, their problem but it makes me mad cuz I have a gym membership and I could teach other places at that time. I'm not doing it for me (well kind of-for experience) but they will never better themselves if they don't put the effort forth. Okay-enough complaining. I'm just mad cuz I couldn't do everything I wanted to today. But I have been wearing my running shoes all day and I'm hoping to get out and run some this afternoon or evening if my foot doesn't bug me. It didn't bug me while teaching so maybe it is just bruised. Who knows.
PM-Ran 7.7 nice tempo run 8:00 pace. Felt good. Left leg hurt a little for a while I think cuz I was a little tensed up with my foot but relaxed around 3 miles and felt a lot better.

Went to they gym and did back/biceps/abs. Jumped on a stationary bike for 30 minutes=3miles, eliptical 15 minutes=1.5 miles and treadmill for 1.5 miles. I got really bored with everything I did this morning. Too slow but I didn't want to push it because of my foot and the BIG ONE tomorrow:)

Got up at 4:15 and took 1 Imodium and ate oatmeal and 1 full egg and 1 egg white. Took 3 ibuprofen and drank half a Zip Fizz. Met Julie and Angela at Albertsons in Draper and started right at 5:00. Headed up Wasatch Blvd. all the way to the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon and 1 mile up the canyon. As we were heading up the canyon, we had a major headwind. That was about the only place that the wind was an issue. Turned around and headed back the same way. Kept a pretty comfortable pace up until 16 then pushed it a bit harder. I took GUs at 6, 11 and 16. I really felt AWESOME today. I just pray I can feel this good on marathon day. Our overall pace was 8:39. Again, very happy with all the crazy hills.

| I really wanted to run outside today but it is so dark that I don't dare run by myself and my brother won't go that early. So, I went to the gym and did shoulders/tris. Followed by 8 easy mile on the treadmill at a 9:05 pace. A friend jumped on the treadmill next to me for the last 4 miles and I chatted with her which made time fly by today. Felt really good. |

I didn't sleep the greatest last night but suprisingly I felt really good on the run. Met BBK's in SJ. Warmed up for 2 1/2 miles. Ran a quick mile followed by relays. Tough workout but I really liked this one. I am always motivated with a little competition. I was above AT several times. I needed a day like today. I wanted to run 2 more when I got home but I think I'll run the 12+ on Thursday instead.

Gym day. I was going to do all treadmill work but decided I wanted to do 1 more step class before the marathon. I'm glad I did. There was a sub and she was a lot of fun and we didn't jump and turn so much. Great workout though=6.0 miles. Jumped on the old tready after for 2 1/2 miles at 8:34 pace followed by back/biceps/abs. I don't know about everyone else but I think mentally, I'm tapering and know I don't have any huge workouts before the big day, so I have a ton of energy. I'm having a hard time sleeping because of backing off a little. Really, I'm not backing off a ton this week but like I said, mentally I think I am soooo......that was a lot of jibberish, hope you can all figure that one out.
Blue Pearl Izumi's-LOTS of miles. Still feel pretty good though. |

Early morning for me. Had to get up at 4:30 to meet BBK's at SJ Park for our 4 5k's. Did first one nice and slow (around 8:30 pace), second still nice and slow (8:20ish), third was around 8:00, and fourth was just under 8:00. Felt good and had to hold myself back from going faster several times.
Went to Stake Center to teach my class and wore flip flops in hopes that I wouldn't participate and I didn't for the most part. Little things here and there but I didn't do the whole class. It was good cuz I was able to correct form and yell a little more:)
Went and bought another pair of shoes since my new ones almost have 100 miles already. I figure I'll stick them in the closet for the most part until the marathon and wear these other new ones until then.

Oh my heavens! I just reminded myself of why I hate running on MY treadmill and why I go to the gym to run on the plush treadmills. 3.15 easy, slow, boring, sweaty, sucky miles. Oh well, can't have good days every day, right? AND I wasn't even going to run at all so I guess I did at least that. I actually did a few more miles this week than planned but I'll really taper next week:)

Didn't sleep too great. I think when I know I have to get up early, I don't do well with the sleep thing. Woke up @ 4:15 and met Julie and Angela up in Draper to run Wasatch. Started at 5:00. A little slower today. Didn't push it. Too close to race day. 2nd toe on right foot is OUCHY! Compression shorts are a must for me also (inner thigh, groin area chafing). All in all good run but very uneventful. Average pace 8:49.

Didn't sleep the greatest again. I tell ya, tapering is bringing on lots of energy for me. Met the BBK's at Bingham and warmed up 2.5 through neighborhoods. Back to track and did 1200 with 400 recovery, 800 w/recovery, 400 w/recovery. We got progressively faster on each one. Went back off track through neighborhoods for a 2 mile tempo just faster than marathon pace and .5 cooldown. Overall pace 8:12. Great workout and I felt really great.

| Decided to go to the gym and do step. I keep saying NO MORE until after the marathon cuz I don't want to risk getting injured but I LOVE step. It is so much fun. That is all I did so I figure 1 hour=6.0 miles. Fun class. Kind of a bummer though, a girl turned her ankle and biffed it hard today. She fell on the girl next to hers step. It made me nervous thinking I may to the same thing but I left with no injuries. I WILL NOT do it next week though. Strictly running from here on out:) |

Warmed up for 2.5 with a few BBK's around neighborhoods near Bingham. The rest of the crew got there at 6:00 and we warmed up for another mile. 15 minute tempo at marathon pace followed by 5:00 recovery, another 15 minute tempo (I did this one about 15 seconds faster than marathon pace), cooldown. Lots of fun. I felt great and this was a great confidence booster. I AM READY!

Left at 9:45 so it was a bit hot. I am really nervous about the heat the last hour or so in SG. It just isn't cooling off much. First 2 miles were down hill mostly. The first was just above marathon pace, second just below, third just above and fourth 8:55 (all uphill). At mile 2.5 there was a man running in front of me (maybe 50 years old) and I got this urge to chick him. So, I did. I am such a jerk cuz I turned about 50 yards later and he kept going straight. I am too stinkin' competitive. I guess that is what makes us all better, right?

It was so nice to not have to get up in the 4o'clock hour on a Saturday:) Woke up at 6:30 and met Angela down at the trail. My plan was to run around 8:30-8:45 pace for most of the run with a few marathon pace miles thrown in but we did the whole run 8:20 average. Half of the miles were slower and the other half were around marathon pace even with a strong headwind the last 5 miles. I felt really great today and we were able to talk the whole time. I wonder if that is a sign that I should be running faster if I can keep up conversation at marathon pace.

Got to sleep in cuz my kids are off track. First 2 miles were down 8:14, 7:53 3 and 4 go back up 8:22, 8:16. Overall pace 8:12. Felt awesome. Left leg a little tight for a couple of miles but started to feel better. Soooo excited.

Woke up nice and refreshed at 5:30. Met BBK's at Bingham at 6:00. Warmed up for 1/2 mile. Did 3x1 mile repeats. First 7:48, second 7:34, third 8:02 (I tried to slow down a bit for this mile cuz I'd gone a little too fast the previous mile and slowed just a tad too much). Followed with 2-2minute (or we were supposed to go to a certain point and stop) sprints. First was 6:27 pace and actually finished the .27 distance in 1:44, second was 6:50 pace and went over this time and did .36 in 2:26. I need to take my Garmin off auto-mile lap on speed days so I can get better splits. These are all hopefully right. Again, I felt great. My left foot was bugging me again yesterday and a little this morning. I hope it feels better and doesn't get worse. I will ice and roll it:)

Hmmm, interesting day. I'm going to start by saying I'm so happy I qualified for Boston but totally bumbed I didn't meet my goal of 3:30 or less. I actually felt awesome the whole race considering the crazy weather.
First of all I couldn't find Julie and Angela at the start which totally stressed me out but I found Cheris and Michelle M. and started with them. About 100 yards in I realized my shoe was untied and had to stop and tie it and catch back up. I peed 3 times before the race started and right when I started had the urge to go again. I waited a little bit and Cheris said she had to go so we stopped together and went and I swear I had 32 ounces in me. We caught back up to Michelle and kept at it. We met up with Julie and Angela before Veyo and started running with them. I had the urge to go again and ducked off in th bushes with Julie. I was feeling so energetic and Veyo seemed easy and I actually did it a couple of seconds under pace. Well, I had to pee again a little bit later and this is where I lost everyone. My IPOD died also from all the water. I ended up having to stop to go pee 8 times!!!! I don't know what my problem was. If anyone has any opinion as to why I had these issues, feel free to comment. I did my best to hurry and I think at least 300 people saw my butt throughout the whole race, including the helicopter that was right by me one time. I started to get tight around mile 18. I am convinced that I was cold enough that my muscles were crampy for that reason because after I sat in the hot tub I felt pretty good. Anyway, I felt really strong the whole race but I didn't want to give it too much of a kick to early and have issues so I stayed steady and strong. I met back up with Julie the last mile and we stayed together until the last 1/4 and I felt so good that I sprinted to the end. All in all I am happy with my results but I know with better conditions and my bathroom issue, I could've knocked at least 10 minutes off. Oh well, I"M GOING TO BOSTON!!
Oh, I drank 8 ounces of Zip Fizz and 12 ounces of gatorade before the race. I ate steel cut oats, banana and 1/2 clif bar. My typical prerace breakfast. Also, 3 ibuprofen and 1 imodium.
Congratulations to all and lets all hope for no rain and a better race next year. |

Hmmmm, I'm happy to report that I am just sore and not injured. The past 2 marathons, I had pretty bad injuries that kept me from running for 6 weeks. This time, just muscle soreness. I thought about running today, and I still might later but we will see. If not I'm gonna try and get in a few miles tomorrow. I hope everyone is recovering well and either enjoying your success or accepting the results we had. I'm just grateful to have gotten a PR but disappointned that I didn't do what my fitness level was ready to do. Oh well, theres always next year.

Well, I am really feeling pretty darn good. I went to the gym this morning and did a 30 minute core class, followed by back/tris. Jumped on the treadmill and did 3 easy miles at a 9:05 pace. All in all I am feeling great. I feel like I need to run another marathon to prove to myself I can get a better time with better conditions and not peeing so much but I think I'll wait until Boston. Although, that'll just be for fun. No time goal. Maybe Ogden.

| Nothing for me today. I decided to listen to my body and it said rest:) I got sooooo sick after the SL Marathon (pneumonia) because I refused to take it easy after so I decided to rest more this first week following the marathon. I will do something tomorrow and Saturday. I am going to the Jazz game tonight and have to walk from the car so that counts as something, right?:o) |

Yesterday was my 14th anniversary. Whoa! Where did 14 years go?
Went to the gym this morning (kind of late-got there at 9:30). I did shoulders/biceps/abs followed by 5 miles on the treadmill at 8:49 pace. I noticed my heart rate climb a little higher than normal today. Probably the fact that I haven't done a whole lot the past 2 weeks. I know that is the reason for the increasingly larger butt:) Oh, and the fact that I have eaten like CRAP for the past 3-4 weeks. Today was a new start and I am determined to drop 5-8 pounds. So far so good. If I blog it, I have to do it, right?
Aside from the crappy eating and the heart rate, I did feel really good today. The run felt quite easy and I wanted to go more but time was not on my side.

Met the BBK's at Bingham at 6:00 and ran around neighborhoods. 8:36 pace overall. It was nice to get back outside and run with the group. I felt pretty good. Started to get HOT and a little fatigued at the end.

| Went to they gym to do step class and holy cow I was tired today. I felt like I had no energy. This class was an endurance class but I felt like my heart rate was above my AT the whole time. I think I'm not as recovered from the marathon as I thought. I did leg weights today. First time in 2 months so I imagine I'll be pretty sore tomorrow. |

I was going to get up and run with the BBK's but my bed was too comfy cozy and I knew I had to teach my class at the church this morning and knew it would wipe me out to do both so I chose to sleep in.
I did go teach my class and it kind of kicked my butt. I felt kind of the same as yesterday, my heart rate kept going high and I felt tired. Like I said yesterday, I don't think I'm as recovered as I thought.
I just got back from the Living Planet Aquarium with the kiddies. Lots of fun. |

Went to the gym again and did an hour long NO LIMITS CARDIO class. I didn't love it. My favorite instructor just started teaching it so I thought I'd give it a try. It was a lot of interval work and I already did that yesterday so it kicked my butt again. I felt a little bit like it was old school aerobics. I think I'm gonna start cycling on Fridays for the next couple of months. For my own purpose I'm going to put down my weekly plan.

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.

| Today was my last lazy morning. My kiddies start back to school from their off track time so no more sleeping in. It sure was nice while it lasted though. I feel really good today and not tired from the week so I think it is time to step it up tomorrow and get with my new workout schedule. Have a great rest day. |

I wish I had a built in babysitter at home all the time. My middle schooler has the day off so I drove to Julie's house (about half way from my house to the gym) and parked my car there and ran to the gym worked out and did shoulders/biceps/abs and ran back.
On the way there, I took a little longer route and had a tail wind and a lot of gradual downhill. Averaged 8:11 for 3.5. On the way back I went a shorter route and it was pretty much gradual uphill with a headwind the whole way. Averaged 8:45 for 3.0. I felt really good today except for my feet hurting a little.

Met BBK's in South Jordan for a run through neighborhoods. I woke up feeling great this morning but I think my faster run yesterday kicked my butt a little because I was REALLY pooped during the run. I wanted to be done at 2 miles but kept going. My legs felt very heavy and I over dressed and was SOOOO hot and sweaty and it didn't help that on the way to meet everyone that I watched my husband get pulled over for running a stop sign and got a ticket. We just barely got accepted back on Bear River Insurance last week. Oh well. Overall pace 8:20.

| Went to they gym and did 1 hour step class, followed by legs and a little bit of abs. Kind of tired today and not a ton of energy. I've really been watching my eating and haven't been eating as many carbs so I wonder if my body is just trying to adjust. |

Got the kids off to school and went to the church to teach my class. I worked my tail off today to make up for the lack of running. I'm not going to count any miles for this class though because it is weights and plyometrics, unlike step that is more movement. |

I slept terrible last night. I really thought about calling Julie and telling her I wasn't coming but I decided I'd be mad at myself if I didn't. Met at SJP at 6:00 and ran all the way south in the wind then turned around and ran all the way north and turned back into the wind for the last little bit. Julie, Angela and Jody went 12 but I was back at my car at 10 1/2 so I called that good. I just didn't feel it today. I felt like I was running asleep half the time and the wind sucked. Overall pace 8:30.

I went to the Jazz game last night and didn't get home until 10:45 so I thought I'd be really tired today but I feel great BUT I took a friend with me to meet the BBK's and I really didn't know what kind of runner she was. We started out the first mile around 9:00 pace and she seemed okay but a couple of minutes into the second mile she told me she needed to walk a little and I didn't want to leave her in the dark so I walked with her. After that it was walk run for the next 2 miles. We got a total of 3.64 miles in and it took 48 minutes. That was really slow but oh well.
I got home and ran another 2.10 around my neighborood 8:45 average. I have to teach my class at 9:00 so I'll get a little more workout in for the day:)
Just got back from teaching my class. I worked everyone really hard and felt better about my efforts for the day:) |

Went to the Jazz game last night and by the time we picked up our kids from Jared's moms house and got home, it was 11:15. Fell asleep at 11:45 and woke up at 5:00 to the sound of rain and wind. I was supposed to be to Julie's at 7:00 and I layed there until 6:30 listening to the rain, dreading the run. I called Julie at 6:30 and woke her up because being the blonde I am, forgot to set my clock back. DUH! She informed me that it was only 5:30 so I had another hour to sleep. We decided to meet at the gym at 7:00 and do our run on the treadmill. It was actually a pretty good run. We started out a little slow but picked it up about 6 miles in and then ran a 5k at marathon pace with a 6:58 1/4 mile at the end, followed by a cooldown. Overall pace 8:30. I felt good other than it being SOOOO hot in the gym. There was no airflow and I got really sweaty.
*So, get your laughs but I just played Dance Dance Revolution with my daughter for 45 minutes and WOW! I think it is a great workout. It is like doing a step class. |

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. |

Today was actually a really great race for me. I had been told this course wasn't a great one but I really liked it. It definately was tough. It had about 5 miles on a gravel road and quite a bit of up hill but also had lots of down. The temp was perfect and I felt good. I really didn't have any expectations for myself today. I haven't worked on speed since SG Marathon and I was really just running this to complete 1 of my 2 Washington County races for the runners series but I felt great and decided to race it.

Went to the gym and did shoulders and biceps. My lower back muscles are sore from the race so I thought I'd hold off on abs until Wednesday.
Treadmill run:
2 miles @ 8:49
2 miles @ 8:41
2 1/2 miles @ 8:34
I felt really good and wanted to keep going but my 2 hours was up dangit. I have been helping my neighbor with weight lifting and it takes more time, so I'm left with less time to run.
PM- 35 minutes Dance, Dance Revoulution. We played on two pads and I played until I got beat by my daughter. I turned my ankle about 15 minutes into it but kept it going. |

| Went to the gym and did lower body weights followed by 45 minutes on a stationary bike. While playing DDR Monday night, I turned my right ankle and after my run yesterday, I noticed the bottom and side of my foot was hurting. I think those tendons pulled on something (right Michelle M.:). It felt a bit better this morning but I thought I'd better be safe and do a no impact workout today. Soooo, I rode the bike. |

I was supposed to get up to go run with the BBK's but when I got up, my foot was still hurting and I don't want to push it and make it worse. I'm doing a cycling class tomorrow so hopefully I'll be okay for Saturday.
Taught my class this morning and it was a good workout. 1 hour of weights and plyometrics and 15 minute core class after. The whole class complained about how sore they were from the core work last week. That's always good to hear. |

Julie came to my house and we started here. Ran up to 4000 W. and down 13400 So. to 3600 W. and to 12600 So. then to 2700 W. and home. Lots of uphill. The last 2 miles is uphill. Average 8:45. We had a couple of faster miles and 2 that were just over 9:00 but the rest were right around 8:45. We were both tired today and it felt tough. | |

I got up early and met Peggy, Cheris, Lisa, Nancy (and Duke), and Julie at SJ Park and warmed up for 2.62 (9:13 pace). The rest of the group got there at 5:45 and we ran 6:01 (8:24 pace) then I came home and ran 1.4 with Braydon in 13:00. This was Braydons first time out and he did great. I'm looking forward to these little morning runs I've decided to do with him. Parker wants to join us too but I'll have to see.
Today was a great day. I really felt awesome and very comfortable. I had 4 of my miles that were between 7:55 and 8:10. We'll call those the marathon pace miles. I was thinking it would be nice to run off of feel and not use a watch. |

| I went to the gym and the step instructor (Ashli) wasn't there. There was a sub but I've done her classes before and not liked them. Anyway, I lasted 25 minutes and had had enough. She was doing tons of dancing type stuff and aahhh, I didn't like it. I'll count 2 1/2 for the 25 minutes, then I jumped on the stairmaster for 2 3/4 miles and finished on the treadmill with an 8 minute mile and cooled down for 1/4. Not the workout I had in mind but it was alright. I would've done more running but I was wearing cross-trainers and didn't dare do any signifiant miliage in them. Finished up with some legs but didn't get to do all I wanted because the child center called me down. Another little boy had thrown a truck at my 2 year old in the face and he wouldn't stop crying. Man my kids are perfect, who's kid was this? J/K! My kids are far from perfect and I'm a far from perfect mom. |

Met Julie, Cheris, Lisa and Nancy at Cheris's house at 5:15 for some xtra miles. Did 2 1/2 @ 8:49. The rest of the group got there at 5:45 and we did 6.4 (8:41 pace) HOLY HILLS is all I can say. Lots of hills! Got home and did 1.4 with Braydon in 12:59. 1 second faster than Tuesday. He seemed to feel better than he did on Tuesday also. I'm anxious to see how he improves.
I'm off to the church to teach my class. 1 hour weights plyometrics and 15 minute core class. | |

I am so tired and sore from Wednesday and yesterday. I forgot what upping the miles does to the energy levels.
Went to thy gym and did a 60 minute cycle endurance class. My hamstrings hurt the whole time. Went out in the gym and did back/tris/abs and stretched and foam rolled for 15 minutes. |

I hope to be able to run this afternoon. I have had sick kids. It started Friday night with my 9 year old up throwing up all night and all day Saturday. I went to the gym yesterday and had just finished my lower body weights and got nauseas so I didn't run. I felt quite a bit better this morning but my 2 year old woke up early throwing up sooooo.....hopefully I get some running in somewhere. At least I've gotten some good reading time in:) Since Saturday, I've read Twilight and I'm almost finished with New Moon and I managed to put all my Xmas stuff up.

Warmed up for 1/2 mile. Felt kind of crappy and this wasn't my best race. It was a PR for a 5k race but not for the distance. I haven't done a 5k race in 4 years!
Mile 1-7:28
Mile 2-7:15
Mile 3-7:15
.1-33 seconds (6:21 pace)
I definately felt my lack of running this week and my stomach was still upset. I had nothing left at the end. I got passed on the sprint by 3 girls! Oh well, it was fun and it was my husbands first race. He had only run a couple of times before and finished in 23:43! I was happy for him.
Oh, and Britta beat me by 23 seconds! YAY Britta!
Well, I looked up the actual race results and it said I did it in 22:14. 1st in my age division and 86th overall, and 14th woman. There were 1686 participants. |

Went to the gym and did lower body weights and abs followed by 1 hour on the stairclimber.
I need to finish reading Breaking Dawn so I can move on with my life! I started Twilight last Saturday and am almost done with Breaking Dawn. My husband is irritated that I have been reading so much but I kind of feel like a teenage girl reading these dang books! They are sooo good. Anyway, my point in writing this down is to put the reason for not running today. I can read much better when I am on the stairclimber:) Like I said, almost done.
BTW, I ended up sick again on Thanksgiving. It stunk! So, that is why my last week was crappy on the running end of things. Although, I got lots of reading in:) |

YUCK! I feel crappy. This flu stuff I had last week is really making me feel yucky still. I just have no energy and a massive head ache.
I went to the gym and did and hour step endurance class. I was going to do weights but my head is pounding so I didn't. Hope I start feeling better soon because right now I don't have any motivation to work out:( |

| Well, I finally got back out running today. I still feel a little crappy. I keep getting bad headaches. Anyway, I ran with my brother today down on the trail. We took it pretty easy because it was cold and icy and neither of us have done much the past couple of weeks. Overall pace 8:59. I actually felt really good during the run but I'm feeling a little nauseated now. | |

Well, I really intended this week to be better but I had one of my kids with asthma aggrivated by pneumonia, and another one with the flu. So much fun. Anyway, I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I did 4 miles at a 8:49 and then 1 mile at 8:00, then did a half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 7:30 pace, half mile at 8:49 pace, half mile at 6:44 pace and then cooled down from 8:49 down to 10:00. I definately can feel my lack of running. I need to get my booty in gear.
I am not too excited about this weather. I don't mind cooler weather but the wind and snow make me want to stay in bed. | |

Finally bet back up with the BBK's this morning. Fun run. Ran first half with Jody and Julie and the second half with Jody. It was snowing but it was fun. I forgot my Garmin so no time. I think we were around 8:40 the first part and 8:15 the second.
I officially entered being the mother of a teenage daughter today! Happy Birthday to my oldest, she obviously is 13! Aah, where did the time go? | |

Met Julie at the gym at 7:00. Ran first 6 miles at a 8:49 pace. Picked it up to a 8:19 for a mile, then did some intervals. Cooled down for 1/2 mile. I really didn't plan on any speed but the treadmill gets boring and it is nice to mix it up a little. Enjoyed Julie's company as always:)
I'm feeling my motivation coming back. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I've gained 5 pounds and I'm going to Hawaii next month. Nothing like a week in a swimming suit to motivate weight loss:) |

| Went to the gym and ran on tready. 30 minutes at 8:49 pace, 15 min. at 8:29 pace, and last 15 at 8:00. Overall, 8:34. I felt good but my heart rate is up a little and continuing to climb at the end of my runs. It amazes me how fast I lose fitness. Did shoulders/biceps/abs. Only did 3 movements for each with 2 sets for each movement (15/12 sets). Again, I haven't done weights for a few weeks and I definately felt it today. |

| 75 minute travel step interval class. Whew, I was exhausted! Not a great class to do when you end up being up all night in blizzard conditions. It ended up snowing SOOOO much at our house on christmas eve-christmas day. We had 5+ foot snow drifts and I'm sure it ended up snowing another 18+ inches. We went to open our garage to leave Christmas morning and had a 3 foot wall of snow. The hubby put the old suburban in 4 wheel drive and rallied out of the driveway. A little scary! |

I met Julie at the gym and ran on the treadmill. You know it's bad when you go to bed with a stomach ache and wake up with one. I started running and knew I was in for it. I took my pace up to 6.7 and thought I'd puke so I took it back down to 6 and stayed there for quite a while. Took it up to 6.4 for a while then to 6.7 and decided to call it quits at 9 miles. We'd planned on 12 but.... Julie got over 10 miles in the same amount of time. I don't know what my deal was or is. I still feel yucky. Now that Christmas is over, I need to dump all the goodies in the garbage and start over. I think my body is on a permanent sugar high and going on strike:) |

| Went to the gym bright and early this morning. Actually, it was dark and early:) I've decided to get my workouts done earlier so I don't feel like it is controlling my days. Anyway, I did 4.2 miles and then had to go potty so I decided to do some lower body and abs in the middle of my run and break up the treadmill bore a little. Got back on the treadmill for another 2.3. Overall pace was around 8:45. Felt a little pooped today. I'm sure it is all the sugar I've been eating. NO MORE! |

Met up with the BBK's this morning at 5:45. Ran through Parkway Palisades towards Riverton and back. Did some hill repeats (ugh!) and there were other hills also. I felt kind of crappy today. Hopefully some consistancy will cure that. Overall pace was kind of slow 9:07. Oh well, I'm building my base, right?
Oh, we had 2 owies this morning. Cheryl fell hard with about 1 mile to go and Peggy fell at the very end. My heart can't handle these falls and it isn't even me. | |

I was going to run outside today but I decided that the step class would be fun so I headed to the gym and did the 75 minute travel step interval class and wowwie! I felt like I had just run a half marathon. I'm pooped (thats for you Burt)! If I was going to count miles, I'd say it was equivelant to 9 miles.
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO EVERYONE!!!
