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.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

Ran with the BBK's  and my bro came this time:) Did the Riverton 1/2 route but cut a little off at one point. Julie and CJ went out an extra 1/2 to make it 13 but my foot hurt a little so I bagged it when we hit the car at 12. I felt okay considering my 500% increase in miles this week:) Thanks Julie for being slow with me. AP 9:30 which included walking for about a minute 2 separate times.

Okay, planned on just completing this run for the runners series but still wanted to be under 9's. Started the run with Kris Bullock. She is the best!!! I would've loved to run the whole time with her but I felt like I was pushing her pace a little too much and I wanted to go a little faster. I wore my dayglow Boston shirt so I stood out like a sore thumb:) I left Kris around mile 4 or 5 and soon caught up to Kelli. I gave her a nice slap on the butt and chatted for a minute then took off. Caught up to Smooth at the turn off the the trail around the golf course. I really felt great but didn't push the pace too much. We all know I haven't been training at all and I didn't want to hurt myself. I was very comfortable until the last mile and I started getting tired but it was actually my fastest mile. I had plenty of juice left at the end to sprint to the finish. I was not passed by a single person after about mile 5 but passed A TON of people. I like it that way cuz I know I ran smart.

Anywho, now maybe my motivation will come back. I had fun and love races and hate to run them when I am not trained. So....I hope to get my excitement back. Congrats to all the bloggers who ran so great.

Thanks for the smack on the butt (scared me to death!) It was great to see you on cloud nine running! You were so happy and having such a good time and that is what running is about. AND, just think, you pulled of a decent time on a tough course when you were not even trying for anything!

It was so good to see you before the race, and between mile 8-9; and after the race. Thanks for the encouragement. It helped me get over my dislike of the Bloomington loop. You made it look so easy. You ARE a GREAT runner.

Planned on running with the BBK's this morning but between my HORRIBLE snoring husband and my very sore legs (from weights yesterday), I chose to not do it. I am planning on playing basketball tonight if the legs will allow. So, I will report later.

Well, I played basketball. Never know what kind of mileage to log for it so lets just say it was an 1 hour of good cardio:) Now, for those of you that have never played church ball, HOLY COW women are crazy. I got tackled, elbowed, tripped and a girl on my team had a gash on her eye. Good times!

Ran the Riverton 1/2 route. Actually, the new Riverton 1/2 route. It is a little tougher than last year cuz you don't have the downhill after the first mother hill and the S curve is later in the race. Ran the old course 5 weeks ago at a 9:45 AP, last week at a 9:01, and today.....8:56!!! Yes, I am once again getting faster and more confident. Still a long way to go but feeling MUCH better about things. Anywho, enjoyed the company of so many today! Including my hubby, my brother, Julie's hubby, Kris, Eric, Julie, and Kelli.

Did not sleep a whole lot last night do to a coughing husband but was able to jump right up and met the BBK's for the early miles. We had 2 options today. Either speed or no speed. I opted for the no speed cuz I'm still trying to just get comfortable again. Anywho, we warmed up for 4 1/2 miles and then picked up the pace just a little and then did some 15 second pick-ups just to remind the legs what some speed feels like. Felt AWESOME today! YAY! AP 9:09. Enjoyed running with Jerry, Kelli, Lisa, and Cheryl.

Way to get out.

From Kelli on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 18:50:51 from 71.219.89.82

THANKS for chatting with me and keeping me company! It is so NICE to have you back!

From Shimelle on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:41:57 from 75.162.234.148

Thanks Rachel and Paul.

Kelli, it feels good to have the drive again. And THANK YOU for hanging back with me. I really enjoyed today. Very nice pace and I just felt darn good. FINALLY:)

From Kelli on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:44:19 from 71.219.89.82

Yeah for feeling good, it help to light the fire again! And I was not hanging back, that is how i run! It is good to have company.

From Shimelle on Tue, Feb 16, 2010 at 20:46:01 from 75.162.234.148

Well then, thanks for running that pace:)

Met the BBK's this morning. We met at Julie's house. Ran a 4.15 mile warm up AP 9:22 followed by 3 miles of fast (although my fast is still pretty slow) 8:32, 8:36, 8:35 and 1 more cool down mile 9:09. AP for the last 4.16 was 8:41. Gradually getting faster and feeling better. I definitely felt tired towards the end but all in all, felt good.

Feeling good is what counts!

YES, I was in the front, but I was passed by some people at the end. AND then I took the easy mile EASY, they only took it kind of easy (they are hard core). I kind of ran by myself today, major tummy ache so i wanted spare everyone else.

Picked up CJ and met Julie, Cheris and Jody and ran a 6 mile loop in Riverton. The plan was to GU and water back at Cheris's house and do another 7 miles. CJ's Iron Man training had him do 60 bike miles last night, he has to swim 2 miles today and run 20 tomorrow so he didn't want to do the whole 7 so he and I just did an additional 2 1/2. I started working yesterday and have had training all day and have to be there at 9:00 to train again so I wasn't to sad about cutting things a little short. Besides, I don't want to build up to many miles to soon. This week was a good increase I think.AP 9:15 and it felt way nice and easy.

I agree about the wind, I am sick of it! If it were not windy it would feel so good out there, but I still freeze!!

How is the job going?

From RivertonPaul on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 13:05:44 from 67.42.27.114

All we are is dust in the wind.

From Shimelle on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 13:12:07 from 75.162.236.200

The job is going well:) Exhausting though. I worked a few hours Friday, Saturday, and Sunday days and Monday night and I was POOPED when I got home Monday night. Luckily I don't work until March 12 again:) Going to Vegas on Friday to see Bon Jovi:)

From Kelli on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 13:21:58 from 71.219.89.82

Oh, wow!! have fun and relax a little!

From RAD on Wed, Mar 03, 2010 at 15:14:01 from 67.172.229.125

Have a fun time in VEGAS!!

I don't think there is a runner out there that LIKES the wind, they may have learned to embrace it...but like it - NO! Especially if you've ever run in Herriman, Riverton, Bluffdale area!! :)

Trying to get back at it. Went on vacation, LOTS of work, bladder infection and a cold have made running difficult the bast couple of weeks. Felt awesome today and the weather was so beautiful. Hope I can adjust to all the craziness in my life:)

That is the secret to life....finding balance! If you ever figure it out, please share!

We finished the SGM together in 2008. I ran 3:36:41. Hope to be there this year!

Keep up the good work!

From RAD on Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 14:36:23 from 67.172.229.125

If you ever need a SLOW running buddy at group, I'm sweeping the back - waiting for others to join me :)

From Nancy on Mon, Apr 12, 2010 at 20:51:00 from 76.27.19.206

Do you work fulltime? It is really hard to find a balance especially when you have to work. I have a lot harder time exercising after work.

From Shimelle on Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 14:23:15 from 75.162.236.200

Nancy, I'm not full time but I am waiting tables and it is exhausting at times. I am getting into my groove though and feeling like I might be able to figure it out. I ran a few days last week and ran last night and felt awesome. Gonna get out this afternoon again also. Thanks for the comments everyone:)

From Kelli on Tue, Apr 13, 2010 at 14:27:47 from 71.219.92.128

K guys, I guess I am kind of a lost sheep but I am still running, just not blogging. I spent too much time on here and it was making me a little crazy so....I guess I am just doing my own thing:)

From Calvin on Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 15:11:17 from 66.133.117.3

it's good that you're still running. are you going to SGM?

From Shimelle on Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 15:24:23 from 75.162.231.78

I am planning on it but it will definitely be a slow one. I haven't been putting in miles at all. I work on Friday nights and by the time I get home it is usually after 11 so I am slacking on my Saturday runs. I'm just hoping to get a few long runs in and then I will just suffer through it:)
