Ran Boston in April 2009 and had an absolute blast.

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

Did a cadet workout. 25-air squats, stairs, 25-push ups, stairs, 25-sit ups, stairs, 10 burpees, stairs x 2 as fast as you can. 17:29 and my legs felt a bit like jello the whole time. That workout last week seriously kicked my can! I think had I done it a little slower, I would have been fine, but I tried to be Superwoman and killed myself. Ran 5 slow miles on the treadmill after because I have had some headaches from the heat and didn't want to make it worse.

Ran out to the trail and back to work. Was only going to do 6, but when I got to 3 I had to go potty really bad so I decided to just run to the bathroom near 11400 S. AP on the way out 9:00/way back 8:48. Felt really good and easy. I needed that! Doing a 10k on Thursday and a little worried about oomph.

Right calf WAY sore from stairs on Monday. I must do something weird on the way down, which would explain why it is only one leg. I decided to take today off in hopes of it feeling better for the Riverton 10k in the morning.

Calf was still hurting so I decided a race would be a not so smart thing. Bagged it!

Did an awesome run with Julie and Kris down Big Cottonwood. Started 12 miles up (AP for the Canyon 7:56 which felt pretty darned good). Headed down to Holladay Blvd., to Haven Ln., Cottonwood Ln, Walker Ln. to Highland Dr. and down 5600 S to Cottonwood High. There was still some downhill coming out of the canyon for the final 6, but definitely a lot flatter. Figured this would determine a bit how the marathon is going to feel. We still will have 5 miles of pretty steep downhill out of the canyon and 3 more out, but we didn't slow too much once we hit the bottom and the legs felt okay. I'd like to do a 20 and add maybe 1 more canyon mile and one more flat. AP for the whole thing 8:07.

I turned my left ankle 2 times on the small shoulder and my right once. I was pretty sore the next day, but nothing unbearable...however, my right ankle is pretty sore. That is the one I broke last year and those darned tendons just ache.

Still up in the air about a pace for this marathon. Obviously the pace was pretty quick, but we have a lot more mileage to go and I haven't been doing speed work (other than just running some faster miles here and there). Who knows??? I think I should be able to do 3:30 or faster???
