I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue.  Love to run and be outside.  I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible.   Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Starting my taper, I am worn out.  I usually just do a 2 week taper but I feel like I could use a 3 week one.  Plan is to do 55-60 miles.

Got up and was sore in the low back and hammys, didn't want to run but went out.  Still didn't want to run and thought about turning around, SI's were really achy.  Kept going and felt better the further I went.  Ran into Melody and she ran me home.

Yoga, back ex, side plank pulse ups, and criss cross 10-12 x 3

Met at Rebecca's and we did a 3 mile loop to warm up to the OHS track.  The workout we decided on was a ladder 200, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 1200, 800, 400, 200.  I took a caffine gu this morning to see how that would work, I liked it but think I could have use a second one in the middle of my work out.  I felt really good in my the beginning of the workout but kind of petered off cause I started so fast.  But it felt good to run that fast.  Got some work done from DR. B so my back was feeling good.   My times were 41, 1:26, 2:57 (haven't gone under 3 in a long time on the track), 4:35 (was thinking about finishing this mile to see if I could get under a 6 but didn't), 6:30 (feeling the faster start), 4:45, 3:10, 1:28, 41.  Happy with this even know I wasn't as fast on the mile and coming down but I was still hitting the times I've been doing.

Woke up with my low back and SI's really, really sore so I just ran by myself really, really slow.  I think wearing the pearl iZumis with a higher heel than I am use to and the faster paces made my back more sore.  I was very frustrated with how sore it was.

Did my long run today with Rebecca.  The workout was 2x5 miles at 5 sec below marathon pace (7:11) with 10 min jog in between.   Warmed up 2.1/8:43 avg, the loop was a very flat non aided course. Started at center and 8th east went north to 8th n turned left on 4th E down to 8th S turned left up to 8th east and back to center.  

first 5 miles 35:05/7:01

6:59, 6:57, 6:52, 7:02, 7:13

1 mile at 8:35

second 5 miles 36:00/7:12

7:03, 7:01, 7:04, 7:17, 7:34 started to feel it the last mile and a half but was still happy with the over all times.  The pace felt comfortably hard.

cooled down 5/8:03 pace 

Worked and scraped my SI's and back yesterday and they felt pretty good. 

2:17:05/7:36 for the whole run
