Sweet bliss I was able to run in the first snow.  It was really slow but  thats ok,  I felt about the same as the elliptcal and give me an indication on how fast I will be able to get back into the running thing.  I think about 2 weeks of slower running and I will be back to normal.

Ran 4 miles on the river trail.  Started at wills and went to the mouth, brr it got cold at the mout of the canyon.  Felt alot better than I did on sat. and was able to go faster.  Then I went to the rec and did 40 mins. on the elliptical.

35:47/8:56 better than the 10 min per mile on sat.

I went to the rec and did 30 mins. on the spin bike and 30 mins on the elliptical.  I did run because I think I over did it yesterday (running, cleaning and painting), my chest was alittle sore.  Finished with weight lower. 

I was super upset when I left the rec.  I saw my dad, whom I don't have a relationship with, his doing.  He is the type that suck you up and spits you out.  He love to bash the LDS religion, a faith I belive in,  and he take no responsablity in abanoning his kids.  Needless to say I had just had it and let him know.  Probably not the smartest thing because he is not a menatally sound man, and he lives in his own little world where he can do no wrong, but I didn't want to sit and be talked at  and belittled any more.

Started out with an easy run outside, I think I was being over excited when I thought I would be able to run 20 miles this week.  Then I went to the rec and did 4 miles on the elliptical/36 mins and 20 mins on the bike.  Leg are sore from lifting yesterday.

Patience Josse patience.

I did not want to but I did 60 mins on the elliptical hard. 

I know nobody feels bad for me but I just want to go out for a nice hard long run.  I know this was self inflicted.

Went to the rec and did 45 mins on the elliptical.  My test run yesterday went well so I went ahead and did another today 41 mins on the treadmill wanted to keep going but I thought I had better stop and build up more slowly.  Happy about today.

I decided to sign up for Moab half at the last minute and got in.

I meet Michelle and Jamie at the Smith field house and ran, not the speed but just easy around the indoor track.  I think I will take tomorrow off running and just crosstrain and try for 5 or 6 on sat.  Good to see you two

Decided to take the day off.  My back is acting up and I don't want to agrivate it.  Need to start up on my streaching again.  So I will do alot of  that today.

I got a trainer for my bike so I can ride my road bike indoors so I did 30 mins on that.  Then I went out and ran 5 miles easy.  It was beautiful outside blue skies with a white blanket of snow and hardly anyone out.  I love running on Christmas.  Back felt better today.  Then I came back and did 15 more on the bike.

44:13/8:48

Did 20  mins of stretching in the pm

Got up early and ran the same 5 mile loop I did the other two days I'm going to call it the L -loop (lakerage loop) no watch again.  Felt tired and beat up probably because I had a massage last night and also gave one and I haven't done that in 5 weeks.  She scraped my back, it is black and blue, which tells me I really needed it.  Before my surgery we were not getting any of the bruising up.  Any way then I came home took a hot shower and went back to sleep for alittle while.  I hate doing this because I always wake up feeling even more tired and trashed than when I went to sleep. 

Later-40 mins on my bike

Got up and ran the L-loop by myself.  Had a good run 41:47/8:21

Then I came home and did 40 mins on the bike.

the plan for the week is to get in around 30-33 miles plus crosstrianing, started lifting my daughter again last week and can tell I need to work on core and upper body strength.  plus do tons of streaching (did that last week and really helped my back)
