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.

Under 1:30 half

3:15 marathon

I woke up late this morning and it was way too hot to run outside so I headed to the gym later on. Right when I hit 5 miles, I got called to the child center. My 7 year old had fallen off the monkey bars and her arm was hurting her. Funny, they told me they thought she was fine but her arm (right above the wrist) looked a little crooked. I took her to the Doc and sure enough, broken through both bones. So, I'll have to make up the extra 2 miles over the next 5 days. AP 9:22. Nice and easy and I felt fabulous. I was a little nervous to run today because I could feel my shin again but it didn't bother me at all:)

Went to Step class today and I haven't done it for quite a while and boy it was tough. I was pretty out of breath the whole time and my legs got tired. I really think that doing step once a week really benefits me so I'm going to keep at it. I'll count 6 for the hour.

Met the BBK's to run up to Suncrest and back. We warmed up for 2.5 then regrouped and headed up. About 1 mile up, I had to go potty BAD so I stopped and waited for everyone to pass and headed for the bushes. I got back out on the road and got about 100 feet and realized I had pokeys in my sock and shorts. Yes, I sat in something wrong. So, I spent the next several minutes pulling 20-30 pokeys out of my short liner. I finally got back moving and made it about another 1/2 mile when I saw Jody heading back down so I just decided to head down with her. We ran another loop around where we warmed up. I had planned on doing another few miles but my inner thighs were chaffing really bad and I had to go to the bathroom AGAIN. So, I called it good at 7.2 and headed home. I decided on the way home to get the dog and go another 2.8 so I ran in and changed into some more comfy shorts and did. My pace today was SLOW. Something like 9:40ish. Oh well. Now, off to Lagoon:)

Met Cheris at her house and did 2 VERY slow warm up miles. Michelle M., Michelle P., Dean and Whitney met us and we ran a big south valley loop of 14 miles. I felt AWESOME today. It's about time dangit! Our pace for the 14 was around 8:40ish but with the slow early 2 it was 8:48.
