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

Down to JRP and out 4 and back. Kept pace comfortable and easy. Leg still kind of buggy:( I think I am so dominate in my right leg that I strike harder on beat with music. I concentrated and tried to see if I struck with my left, how that would feel...no pain in right leg. I need to smooth out my stride and quit dominating one way or another and hopefully that will correct the issue. AP 9:00

3 movements/3 sets of 15 shoulders(10)

3 movements/3 sets of 15 triceps

50 air squats, 60 jump lunges, 60 lunge kick-ups, 45 box jumps, 30 split squats on each leg

45 reverse sit-ups

60 decline sit-ups

3-1 minute planks

3 sets of single leg calf raises (no weight)

Good stretching

Very eventful morning. Planned on 8 and should'v gone with my gut and run on the trail, but when I got down 9800 to the trail area, there were so many bugs and I didn't want to battle that so I headed out 9800. Got about 50 yards away from 1300 W. and saw a nasty car accident. Nobody else was around soooo, since I saw it happen, I was a good citizen and hung around to give my side of the story to the po-po. Holy cow, it was probably 20 minutes before he got there! Anywho, gave him my side of the story, my phone # and I was on my way. At that point I figured I only had time for 6 total so I kept heading west, got stuck at the light on Redwood forever. When I finally got the signal to cross, some old man in a handicapped mini-van almost ran me over! I made a scene and jumped around like a crazy woman in the middle of the road:) Turned around at 2200 W. and back down the hill. That is when my lower leg starts to get buggy...on downhill:( I love down so this sucks!!! Such is life though, right? I tried to keep it slower all in all...AP 8:51. It makes me sad not running a little faster, but I figure I'm being smart...or something like that.

Whew, worked out with the cadets this morning. 50 air squats/50 push-ups/50 full sit-ups/1 mile run 2 times through. This is some what of a race so the goal is to do it as fast as you can. I am great on everything with the exception of the push-ups...weak sauce!

Before the cadet workout I also did some attempted pull-ups-did some hangs with partial pulls, a few jump and pulls with resistance on the way down and 2 1/2 assisted. Again-weak sauce! 2 sets of 15 bicep curls.

Lastly, 15 minutes on the bike to shake out the legs and some lovely stretching!

Hubby ran first 6 with me along the big Bluffdale/Riverton route. I finished the rest on my own. Felt great until the last mile (it was way windy). AP 9:00 Leg felt great.
