Thought I would start back up blogging since it is a new year and all.

3.75 miles on the treadmill. Did 54 pushups and a bunch of crunches and some good stretching. Yes...I am OUT OF SHAPE but, I have great intentions.

Oh...I am doing the biggest loser with 5 friends. I definitely have some weight to lose.

It was such a nice day to run. 46 degrees and just a slight breeze. I didn't plan on running quite so far since I am just getting back at it but it felt nice. I stopped and walked up the hill back towards my house for about 1/4 mile, otherwise it would've been closer to 6. No watch...just my IPOD.

From Shimelle on Tue, Feb 01, 2011 at 13:08:12 from 64.184.247.2

Probably because my run was yesterday and I haven't logged today yet. Gotta go jump on the treadmill right now. How is your little girl? My little guy was in the hospital last Christmas with Pneumonia and RSV. It stinks to see them like that. AND I can't stand hanging around the hospital.

She's been through worse, so I think she'll be fine. But you're right, it does suck to see them like that. Thanks.

Thanks for letting me tag along this morning with all of my negativity! I need to really get over that! Anyway, sorry you could not listen to your music, but I am almost as entertaining I am sure!

From Shimelle on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 12:14:36 from 76.23.45.199

It was great running with you again Kelli! I was happy to not listen to my music, you are much more entertaining;)

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 13:01:38 from 71.219.99.3

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come this Thursday!!! I will need some company for the "tempo" run up 98th! I can only do one speedwork day a week and it was today!

From Shimelle on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 19:14:25 from 208.54.5.202

I'm planning on it...i was just too dang tired this morning. Seriously amazing how out of shape I am:(

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 19:19:35 from 71.219.99.3

We did 400's today and I could not even maintain the same pace that I could do 800's at last year. Sad, but true. Pretty much everyone kicked my fanny. OH WELL.

From Shimelle on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 19:22:44 from 208.54.5.202

Right now I'm sure I couldn't even do a 400 at my marathon pace from 3 years ago:)

From Kelli on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 19:28:12 from 71.219.99.3

Well, you did take a bit more time off than me! Mine was just a month or two. ;o)

From Shimelle on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:23:21 from 76.23.45.199

Okay, sorry to not show today. I did still get up and run early but Mignon needed to be home early and wanted somebody to run with. I'll be there Tuesday:)

From Kelli on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 13:46:54 from 71.219.99.3

It is all good, I actually survived the tempo run. I did not think I would be able to do it, but about a mile in I started feeling it and went with it. It was a self esteem boost, so that is good!

Hope you guys had a nice run, see you Tuesday!

Nothing about today was easy. Started with sore calves and not nearly enough water over the weekend. Met Mignon and Cheris and intended on 12 (missed my longer run on Saturday so this was my longer one). Got to 9 and was DONE...made it to my moms house and drove her car to Mignons. I had NO gas left (in my body that is). I look forward to the day that running a slow paced 12 feels somewhat easy again:/

Stink! Sorry you had such a cruddy long run on Monday. I'm assuming that is why I missed you today. It will come back, keep at it Michelle!

From Burt on Tue, Jul 19, 2011 at 12:43:16 from 206.19.214.144

I always have plenty of gas left in my body. Say hi to your mom for me :)

I was sorely dissapointed to not see you at the BBK run this morning... maybe next week?

From Burt on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:19:00 from 72.223.88.109

Poor Michelle. I'll run with you tomorrow.

From Shimelle on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:21:43 from 76.23.45.199

Uh are you in town Burt?

Cal, I planned on going but ended up running with my neighbor in Bluffdale instead. I will be there next week though. Glad you made it though!

From Burt on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:29:18 from 72.223.88.109

No. I'll have to catch the red eye. Or maybe I'll just run with you in spirit.

From Shimelle on Thu, Jul 21, 2011 at 12:42:29 from 76.23.45.199

Okay, deal!

Was planning on running with the group but Mignon called me last night and said she needed to be home early so we chose to just run in Bluffdale again and sleep a little longer. It was a pleasant run and it felt MUCH better than the past couple of days.

Planned on 12 or so today but my 12 year old was in a car accident last night with his friends family and I couldn't pull myself out of bed to run before it was time to head to my brother's cabin at 10 so, I ran when I got there but didn't want to spend all day running. Felt good though:) Oh, and my son is okay...just extremely sore.

Sorry about your son. I guess you're not going to LOL pretty soon.

From Shimelle on Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 12:52:37 from 76.23.45.199

I was going to text you back and ask you why...it must be WT?

From Burt on Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 12:56:09 from 206.19.214.144

Yeah.

From Shimelle on Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 12:58:09 from 76.23.45.199

LOL, that is a lot of games...give me a few minutes and they will all be played:)

From Burt on Tue, Jul 26, 2011 at 12:58:40 from 206.19.214.144

Still at the cabin...6 awesome miles. I felt so good, kind of reminded me of how I used to feel when I would run. Twisted my left ankle about 4 miles in though and it hurt pretty bad but...I plugged along and finished. No running tomorrow cuz we have to get up and head home early so I can get to work:( Back at it on Tuesday.

Ran 6 miles to Riverton High to watch my boys playing football. Felt pretty good other than the humidity. Phew, it was HOT!

Are your boys named Archie and Jughead? No wait, that's Riverdale High School.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 15:20:47 from 71.219.67.82

I have missed you!!!!!

From Shimelle on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:16:18 from 76.23.45.199

I miss you too Kelli! I think I can come back on Tuesday. I have been doing that diet and Mike suggested I not excercise for the first 2 weeks. I've lost 11 pounds!:)

From Burt on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:18:01 from 206.19.214.144

Go Michelle!

From Calvin on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:19:38 from 209.23.216.3

you need to clue me in on your diet Michelle. at that rate, i might be able to get down to a reasonable weight in time for St. George.

From Shimelle on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:27:17 from 76.23.45.199

Thanks Butt...I mean Burt:) Cal, it is mostly protein. Every other day I eat just protein and the other days I get to throw some carbs in for lunch. I take a thermogenic in the AM and drink LOTS of water...that's about it. It is only a 2 week thing and it is supposed to trigger your body to use fat since it isn't getting any from food. It has been the easiest thing but I'm not exercising and that might make it harder.

From Shimelle on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:29:00 from 76.23.45.199

Oh, and I will start back exercising on Saturday and eating some other stuff...don't quite know what yet. I still think I will be carb restricted though.

From Burt on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 17:29:11 from 206.19.214.144

Stupid predictive texting.

From Kelli on Thu, Aug 18, 2011 at 23:57:53 from 71.219.67.82

Yeah, you for sure can not exercise while doing that. We saw a few people pass out at the gym, I think he learned that working out was not a good thing!!!

Congrats on the 11 ppoiunds! That is awesome. That is a hard diet to stick to, so WOW for you! I like carbs way too much.
