Met the Orem girls at RC early.  I warmed up a mile to get Melody before everyone got there.  We did a loop down into Provo and then up to canyon road, so there were a couple of good up hills in the loop.  I felt good but pooped out in the end.  Hammy feeling about 85-90%.  Pilates legs and ball squats double and single plus ITB st.

8.803.103.100.000.0015.00

My run was very broken up today.  Started at Springville High with Mckenzie and Aubery we did a 4 mile warmup.   Then we ran the nestle 5k, then a 3. some thing cooldown.  Then I jumped in my car and drove to the 2nd 5k I registered today, which was a fundraiser for one of my friends that has colon cancer.  Ran some before and after to total 15 miles.  My one goal today was not to over do it in the 5k's which I felt like I ran smart and didn't feel my hammy.  So I was happy about the run's today.

nestle 5k the course was totally different than it has been in the past with the 1st half being uphill and the 2nd half being down.  felt really comfortable through the race and even let people pass me on the lap around the track.  Just told myself no injury, no injury.......

Then ran 4 more in between and did the run for Cami at Orem high, this was a 3 loop course around the school with lots of little turns.  Ran with Marie and we just talked the whole way and dodging people too.  Not a fast course but thats okay I wasn't there to run fast.

Met at Marie's and ran with the girls this morning. Did a mile before and after by myself. My Hammy and sciatic felt fantastic better than it has felt in a long time.  Pretty weird because it was burny all weekend.  But I started a couple of new thing (collagen,  tumarick, and rosehips for the vit. c and liquid chlorophyl) all this is suppose to help inflammation and stuff.  I also ice/heat all weekend and scraped, stretched and was taking a nerve tonic as well as took IB all day sunday.  So something did the trick.  I have also decided to cut out gluten to see if this will help break the inflammation cycle.

Hammy felt good again today:)  Pick Melody up to go run on the river trail, did that up and back and then sat in a very, very cold break off to the river.  Felt good after the fact, but both of wanted to get out.  Melody told me a story that kept our minds off the cold, but I had to keep reminding her of were she was at.  stretching

Met all the gals down at our icing spot and ran up/down the canyon.  No one had a watch today so I am getting the mileage from Melody who mapped it out on mapmyrun, my guess was 5.5 so close.  We iced in the canal after, didn't seem quite as bad as tues.  maybe because I knew what to expect.  stretching 

evening-About 35 mins on the bike and weights arms.

Good race, I'll start out by saying that.  Minimal hammy/sciatic pain and felt really good through 10.  my watch died at the county club with was about 10.5 so I don't know how much I died and I know I did but still picked some people off.  I was glad to see a 1:35 on the clock cause I didn't know and the 1:35 pace group was in front of me.  I will post the splits later when my watch charges.

Started the day with Mel, my stepdad picking Melody, Ericka, and myself (my mom was already in the car) and taking us to the start.  So stinkin nice not to have to ride the bus:)  Got there at 5:25 and warmed up 2 miles with Melody went to the bushes and then walked down to the start and they started right on time.  I felt really good through most of the race, tired in the end and didn't have my watch to push me but I am happy it was an improvement over Ogden.

9-7:20 see Marie and she runs with me for a bit.

10-7:29 cc hill

and a dead watch total time for 10.37 is 1:14:50/7:13 so I did slow some wish I could see how much.  But all and all I am happy with the race.  Still having some pain holding me back but it's getting better slowly.

I didn't get up early and run because my husband had to leave by 6, I was so excited to sleep in then the baby had different plans.  He was up from 4-6:30 or so and in turn so was I.  Oh well I did get in a good nap today.  I ended up taking him in the jogger from Will's up the path, I was only going to go 7 total but I didn't have my garmin and I am pretty sure I went 4 up so a total of 8.  Was so nice out with a cool breeze.

I promised myself I would take today off running and I am happy to report I did just that.  My totally awesome husband took the baby so I could sleep in til 9:30, that felt like a dream and I feel fab.  I just did 30 mins on the bike and 30 on the elliptical.  Also happy to report that I can't feel my injury at all:)

My tentative plan for next week is to run 18 miles on saturday and hit 50 miles if the body allows.

Made it 18 miles, haven't done that in a long, long time.  I knew going in I was not going to feel that great.  I had a super emotional draining day yesterday and my anxiety level was high plus my baby didn't want to sleep last night.  But I needed to get'er done.  Met at Melody's house at the crack of dawn, she had to be home by 8 a.m. and we headed towards the canyon.  We started with our 1st mile really easy a 9:08 and then were in the mid 8 range going up the canyon and mid 7's coming down.  Took a gu at 9 and around 14.  I really struggled at the end and was so tired in my diaphragm and stomach.  I felt this starting out, which was odd.  I really wanted to stop at 14 and be done but Melody kept me going.  Went down and iced in the canal after.  Despite feeling like total crap I still am happy with the end result.

My whole hip/hammy/sciatic thing was very sore yesterday,  I did all the usually working it out, scraping and such and it does feel better today.  Man I wish I could just run and not hurt though, it is really a  bummer not to be able to run and race like I want to.  I am starting to think there is something seriously wrong with me that will never be better and marathoning will not be in my future for to much longer.

did pilates legs and stretching.

Met at Melody's and ran to get Marie and Rebecca and did an 8 mile loop down into Provo.  Leg felt good, was hardly there which is weird that it can hurt so bad after my long runs and then not really be there come mon. but I will take that.  I felt good until we went up the 8th s. hill and then was pooped.  Came home and stretched.
