So I got up early to meet Michelle at Sashas house and I did but I think I had the wrong address. I looked up in the phone book and it must be an old one even know it is a new book. Then I came home and look on his blog and sure enough it was differant. Oh well sorry Michelle. Didn't have enough time to run by the time I got home so I will have to do it later at the gym.
Did a tempo workout on the treadmill, my plan was to do 800 at a 7 min pace but I felt good so I just keep going. I warmed up for 1.5 mile and then did 1.5 starting at a 7:30 and work my way down to a 6:30 pace. Then I did .5 recovery and another 1.5 starting at a 7:30 and worked my way down to a 6:49 this one was harder but I finished and felt pretty good. then I cooled down 1 mile and biked for 20 mins.

I went to the rec because by the time my husband got home the weather was horrible. I did 8.5 miles on the treadmill in1:09 then did 15 mins on the bike. I wanted to do 10 miles of running but my body was telling me to stop at 8.5 so I did and jumped on the bike to finish up the mileage. Sore from lifting yesterday.
To run the painters or not to run that is the question. I want to come down and just run easy and have a good time. But I will have to be really disaplined not to try and race it. I am still deciding, we will see how this week goes. | |

I didn't get up and run because I was going to do it while my kids were in school but my son woke up with a bad cough so I didn't want to take him so I just did my bike for 50 mins. I hope to go out later to get some miles in.
Later-I bundled my son up and took him in the jogger. Almost got hit 3 times twice by people trying to beat me to the turn and once by some lady turning talking on the cell phone. gee whiz people lets watch out while we are driving. I can tell I haven't pushed the jogger in a long time. 54:44/9:00 | |

The plan was to get up at 5 am and go do some treadmill miles because the air is getting bad outside and I could feel it after yesterdays run, dry scratchy throat. Then when I didn't sleep well I was just going sleep in and do something later but when my alarm goes off I usually cna't go back to sleep, I think it is a curse. So I got up and went out side because I didn't have enough time to go to the rec. center. I did 6*800 at marathon pace flat course
1-3:24
2-3:30 I wanted to quit after this one because I was tired but tried some more.
3-3:22
4-3:25
5-3:23

Leg started out feeling tried but after about 2 miles they perked up. 58:00 I was going to ride the bike and lift some weights but I feel alittle run down so I decided to cut myself some slack and just did some stretching. | |

Ran an easy run on the treadmill. Felt good 38:30
My thought on tomorrows race is realizing I am only 2 months post op and only have been running for 5 weeks that this will be more of a training run than anything. Don't get me wrong if I fell good I will push it but I will also be happy with what ever my body is able to do. I hope everyone has a spectacular race or saturday run. | |

So I ran a 4 min pr in from last year in this race on the same short course. I also ran about the same time right before my surgery so that was encourrging. I still didn't run all out because I had no idea how I would feel. But ended up feeling good most of the way. I feel like this is a good start to my year and is very encournging for things to come over the year. ya
Loved meeting everyone at the party and satying at Marcie's house was alot of fun. Thanks a bunch.

This week I was planning on taking a recovery week but I don't feel like I need one but we will play it by ear. If I feel good I will run around 55 miles with a little bit of crosstraining. Planning on mostly phaseing out the crosstraining over the next couple of weeks and have all the mileage be true running (except for swimming I really like to stay swimming during hard training times. It just feels great to get in the water and I get to get in the hot tub after.)

Went out after the kids went to school, legs felt good. Wind for half the run but the temps were great (38). I think I will call this run the center st. loop
1:06:38/8:02 is what my garmin said but the first mile it was picking up a much faster pace than I was going so I turned it off and relocated the satillite so the pace was more like an 8:15 or so.
Then I came back and did 20 mins on the bike.
Pm- 25 mins of stretching while watch American Gladiator, I find this show very comical. I just laugh at there witty comments they make. Secretly I want to be on the show, but don't think I could come up with that cheesy of things to say. |

Meet Michelle out in SF the plan was to do a 30 mins tempo. We turned around every 10 mins so we would see each other more, and kind of do a chasing thing. Well the roads we were on were solid snow ice mix so I had a really hard time keeping a decent pace, I even slipped and fell in the second mile. I made it 4 miles in 30:58. It will be intresting to see what the pace is when the road are good. Did a 2.5 mile warm up.

| Today I decided to do another marathon pace run scense the one on tuesday was a failed attempt due to the icey roads. I went to the rec and did it on the treadmill. 2.5 mile warmup then I just want to do at least 4 miles. I wasn't sure how I would do it so I just started and decided as I went. I was able to do all 4 in a row without stopping even know I wanted to stop at 3.1 (21:45) but I keep going to the 4 mile mark (27:58) much better time than on tues. then I cooled down for 1.5 miles. Then I swam 7 laps |

I think I will take that recovery week this week. My legs feel worn down after last week so I will cut the mileage back to aroung 45 with alittle bit of crosstraining. Then I will jump back inot the 50's and build from there. Usually I can't wait for recovery week but for some reason I am having a hard time thinking about taking one, my mind just wants to keep on trucken. But I know if I don't I will pay for it. | |

Recovery week!!!!!!
Surprise-surprise icey, slushy, snowy roads. I think the snow removal people are sick of removing snow because the roads and sidewalk that are usually not bad to run on were awful. My pace was so slow. I am so tired of running on icey roads. I am tired only got 5.5 hours of sleep last night.

| Woke up this morning with a bad sore throat, and not feeling well. I decided to still go meet Cheryl for the run. I didn't know she was planning on meeting another friend and go up on the trails. We went and did the stairway. The trail was plowed to we just had a light layer of snow on the trail and it was coming down as well. Now I love runninag this kind of stuff but I didn't feel well and the snow was coming down hard and was afraid of turning my ankle because you could see the trail or anything for that matter. Well the run went ok until the very end and I was being so careful the whole way. I went around the gate right at the end and I was so proud of myself for not spaining my ankle. I start to run again (this is about 30 yards from my car) and I turned my ankle. Oh I was so mad grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. It's not as bad as I did it in the fall but it makes me so mad because I love running on the trails but I always twist my anlke. I should just stay away from them but they call to me. I guess I will be staying off of them for a while. No watch. | |

So I decided to take my own advice and take the day off. I have a little twinge that has been coming and going the last couple of weeks in my left adductor. I have been keeping at bay with alot of scrapping. But thought how silly I would be telling everyone else to listen to their bodies and I didn't heed my own warnings. Man it is easy to dish it but hard to do it. I will probably get on my bike latter but no pressure.

Went out and ran in SF with Michelle and MacK, we dropped off MacK but picked up another freind in the middle of the run. I felt alot better than I thought I would, I didn't even want to go out for a run but I am glad I did. It was freezing cold through the middle. SF has these cold pockets I bet it was below 10 degrees in them. But as soon as the sun popped out it warmed up some. Did the SF half course with some more added on.
2:15:15/7:57 not bad for just wanting easy miles.

OK so I felt pretty dead legged the whole race. Which by the way is one of the mose boring races I have ever run. James was nice enough to pace me for the race. Did a 3 mile warm up with the boys. I think I was so tired for a couple of reasons one being the increase of milage, two the strides on thurs. and last is it is right before that monthly visitor:( Quads felt like they were not working. I'm not to pleased with my time I would have and think I am capable of running at this point a 1:03 but oh well.

OK so I thought about my racing this year as well as yesterdays race and I realized I am racing faster (minus college) than I ever have at this point in the season. So even know I didn't have the best race, it still makes me excited for the year to come.
Goals for the week- crack into the 60's but do more easier, slower paced runs. WT, stretching, swim.

My back is giving me some grief latley so I didn't get up and run this morning. We will see how it does today. My left adductor is alittle tight after yesterday, I scraped it last night and it does feel better. But the all the running has wiped me out.
My back loosened up so I went out for an easy run. Both leg and back felt fine. Legs didn't feel to bad after yesterdays run.

I got up and went by myself out and back to the canyon. My plan was to do a 4 mile tempo starting at wills and going up 2 and turning and coming down 2 well the first 2 are a slight up grade and my legs were tired so they weren't very fast so I took a miles break still running up the canyon. Then I turned and did a 3 mile tempo down it still wasn't that great because my legs felt trashed but better.

When I went to bed last night I really thought I would not be running today. My back was killing me all the way from my SI up to my neck and down to my knee. I was sooooo upset, this is my Achilles heel. But I stretch and scrapped before I went to bed and when I woke up I didn't hurt at all. I am going to the chirtopractor again today just to make sure.
I went from wills up the canyon and back, threw in a couple of 200 @ a 6:30 pace, it felt good. But for the most part just ran easy.

So I didn't have the race I wanted, I felt the same way I did in the last race only I got the pleasure to have side stiched as well (fun stuff). New I wasn't going to have a good race from the get go. Side ache, quads tired and felt trashed and my head just wasn't in it. But that is ok just look to the next one and hope my leg get used this higher milage so they feel some what decent. | |

The plan was to go and do an easy 8 mile run, it was alittle bit longer and I threw in a mile repeat in there. I was up where I use to do mile repeats with the Sojouners so I decided to through one in. I did it on the Rock Canyon one which is Half flat and half downhill (all the mile repeats done with this group are aided). I did it in 6:15 which felt pretty good. And then the rest was easy pace.

12-7:18 Regroup, Sasha tells me I need to kick into gear if I want to break 1:35. Sasha was yelling at me to pick it up, ta ta ta ta was his chant to get my leg turn over faster. I guess it worked because I picked it up.

My plan for the day was try to get in at least 6 miles. I felt horrible yesterday and not that great when I got up this morning. I felt great on the run so I just went with it. All though I hope I didn't over do it.
Did the temple loop (hills) and the weather was great. Wore shorts and short sleeves. Ahhh spring, I love it. Legs felt good, the tinest bit of soreness in them from saturday.
1:24:55/8:14
The plan for the week is to run in the upper 60's if I keep getting better and do a 20 plus miler on saturday. See how I feel for a tempo.

So I am a dork and had to change this entery because I looked at my mileage total on my garmin and it said 64 and went back and noticed that I didn't put in the .1 for this run. So I had to change it because 64 looks better than 63.9 and it makes me feel better scence I didn't get my full 20 in today (sat.)

Her efforts were alot better than mine (but I am completely ok with that). We did 4* 1 miles with about a 2 min recovery inbetween each.
1-6:52 we stayed together on this one
2-7:05 Michelle started really quick on this one and then backed off abit, but still kick my trash.
3-7:24 uphill and really not into this one
4-7:11 a bit better and glad she doesn't want to do any more:)
Now I think I will just do easy running the rest of the week, if we can call it that.

So my hip started bugging me after yesterdays run, right at the top of the illiac crest. Did some scrapping, icing, and released a whole lot of trigger point in all the mucles that are in the area. It felt alot better this morning so I went out for an easy 5 miler. Could feel it some so I am going to the chiro this after noon. Hope this doesn't linger.

So I really wanted 20 today but I also didn't want to aggrivate the hip anymore and felt like that would have put me over. I could feel the hip off and on through the run but not bad, just an annoyance. But I really wasn't into the run mentally, I just went through the motions. Glad to have the week done and ready for a recovery week next week.

Spring snow, yuk! At least I don't have to run in it. My hip doens't feel to bad, just alittle bit of tightness. I iced throughout the day, stretched, and scrapped it somemore before going to bed.
This week is going to be a recovery week, so the plan is to do around 45 miles and hope that this hip thing clears up so I can race well on saturday. |

I went on a weather strike this morning, when I woke up at 5:50 and saw the wind and solid iced over road I refused to go out and run in it. So I went back to bed. Unfortunatly I went up to Park City to work during my kids school time so I didn't get a run in. But that is ok, maybe I will get in a few tonight but if not I am really trying to convince myself that that is allright as well.
Ended up taking Gauge in the jogger around 4pm went up the jogging path from wills. Hip felt fine, not 100% but didn't hurt. Went super slow and didn't feel that great. Feet and claves where crampy. | |

Man another crappy run today, but good company. Ran with Jeff and Sasha, and two others came for some of the run as well. Just didn't feel that great, feet and calves cramping again esc. in the left and it went up in the hamstring. I don't know what my problem is, when I was pregnant I use to feel this way on every run but I know for a fact I am not the P word. Hip was there but not bad.

I got beat up by my massage therapist last night, but that was a good thing. My legs did feel better today, not great but better. It is very discouraging to all of the sudden feel sooooo crappy and have little injuries appear. Sometimes I wish I didn't like to run as much as I do. But I do know this will pass and my day will come, maybe not now but someday.
Went out with some friends on the canal. It was super muddy so we went the road back. I remebered that when I cramped like this when I was pregnant I use to take a magnesium supplement. So I took some as well as some extra calcuim and I think that is helping.

| So Yes I am very happy with this race. I guess the key is to just not care how you do and then the nerves calm down and you race better.
Started out the morning driving up with my sister. We got lost thanks to googlemap, so I arrived at the start when the last busses were leaving. I got on to the last bus with people still waiting for the 1st bus to come back down to get them. I was not going to wait. So I was alittle frazzled. Got up to the start and saw all my fastrunningblog friends, warmed up about a half mile and then the race started. Once again my garmin was not working properly, it keep losing satillite. So I fool with it to turn off the auto pause. So my first 3 splits I don't have. And I never really knew my running time the whole race, I assumed I was about 3 mins. off, which it turns out it was 2:36 off.

Legs feel pretty good, alittle bit of soreness. Scrapped the hip and it is feeling better today.
The plan for the week is to hop back into the mid 60's again if the hip allows. Do the UVM on saturday as a training run. Really need to start doing the lifting again, I think that is why I am having my back issues so I will try to do that 2 times this week. | |

I WON, WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. I will write more later very tired and can't think.
I got 3 prs today 1-mileage for the week 2-mileage in one day 3-time
I am so happy with today. I want to start out by say Hyrum the race director did an excellent job. The start was freezing cold, started in my jacket but sheed it by mile 3 but still had my long sleeve and gloves on. Once again my Garmin was not working well my total mileage for the marathon was 30 because the first 5 it was picking up wrong. Man that really bugs. I turned it off and back on again around mile 5 so I could see my splits. I started the race with MacK and Bruce. MacK (the female in 1st) took off faster than I wanted so I hung with Bruce. I don't have my first 5 spits but I ran it around 36:09.
6-7:53 this had a good uphill and Bruce told me to not get my heartrate up so I took it easy and let Mack go.

I have never finish a marathon that strong and feeling that good. This was awsome, although I felt bad for passing Mack in the final strech. We hugged and she was glad it was me and not someone else. I didn't get sick after the marathon either, I usually get really sick after the marathon. After some time I went back and ran my mom in. So I won 1000 buckaroonies, and nice trophy (which my son has displayed proudly in his room), a swiss army watch, and a 15$ gift card to the University mall. Wow what a great training run:)

I felt great all day yesterday. Some soreness in the knees and quads but not like I just ran a marathon sore. I did scrape the legs this morning and they are not as sore. Wow I still am soaking up yesterdays run. It was such a great accomplishment for me, I had to work so hard to catch MacK she put up a good fight. I think the best thing of all though was that my husband and kids were there at the finish and saw me win (they haven't seen me finish a race for a long time and my son has never seen me finish.) My daughter was so proud.
As for running I will just see how I feel but easy miles and not as many as last week. | |

Decided to do my long run today because the weekend is crazy. Meet MacK in SF and did the run out in the river bottoms. Felt pretty good although we keep the pace very easy. Wanted to keep on going but I reminded myself that I need to take it easy this week so I didn't. Man it was cold my hands froze. I want summer!

| Ran with Sasha and Jeff. We started really easy but worked in to a sub-8 pace after a few miles. We did a half mile at about a 6:40 pace to show me what the pace would feel like to run a 2:50 marathon. Felt good on the run. We ran upon a skunk that wanted to spray us. We had to stop and let it get off the trail, we threw some rock in the diredtion to scare it away. It worked and we were able to continue on the trail.

Didn't sleep well last night, first my dog woke me up at 3am then the wind and rain was bad. All I could think about was how I really didn't want to run in that. Then I actually fell asleep for a little bit and had a scary dream. When I woke up it was pretty calm outside. But drove into it meeting Michelle and MacK in SF. But it really wasn't to bad once we got going. It did hail on us at the end. Just ran easy. Was a really nice run.

I felt awsome today. I wanted to do hills today both up and down so I did the Temple loop, this loop gives me lots of both. I wanted to practice running fast on the down so I know I can go in the the low 6's and running the ups strong but comfortable. I actually was only going to go 7 miles at the most but I felt so good I made it 10. Was able to stay around 8:30's on the up except the temple hill and was in the low 6's on the down even got into the sub 6's for a bit.

Started in SF with MacK and Ally we did 3.5 before the Michelle and the rest of the group came. We did the usuall to the BS house but then me, Mack and Michelle did a loop out by the freeway before going into the river bottoms. MacK hernia was really bothering her so she was debating on turning early but she finished a full 20. We dropped Michelle off and added on some then I dropped MacK and add on another 3. Was alittle tired starting out and we started very easy. But felt really good at the end and was able to do 7:40's the last 3 miles but was fading at the last half mile so I stopped and was done.

Meet with Michelle, Sasha, Jeff, and Brad and ran the uneventful half. I arrived early and warmed up 2.1 before in 18:03. First off my left should has this huge cramp in it. It start in my back where the daiphram attaches and moves up the my shoulder. It killed me the whole run. This was a tough run for me I want to give up at 10 and did stop and say I was done but Sasha wouldn't let me (which I am so glad I finished). Started pretty chatty but by 5 for me I wasn't chatting any more, but Michelle still was.

Went when the kids where in school. Started at will's and went up to Bridal Vail falls and back. Started easy (9:00) then went to a very easy 8:20-8:30 on the way up and pick up the pace on the way back but just because it is a slight downhill. Ran one mile at a low 7 because I saw a girl who I always see when I do this run and I wanted to talk to her. But as soon as I cought her she turned off the path. Oh well. So I slowed the pace back down because it was just suppose to be an easy run. Felt good except the pain that is still in my shoulder, I scraped it and worked on the huge knot that is in there so it does feel somewhat better but still is very annoying.

Got a massage last night, she scraped my whole back it is black and blue. My shoulder problem was coming from my scapular muscles, that is the worst with the bruising. Hopefully that take care of the shoulder issue, I could still feel it this morning but it was better. And alot of times things feel worse the day after a massage and then get better.
Got up this morning and meet MacK in SF we did our 9 mile riverbottom loop with an add on when we got back. Felt tired so we ran really easy.

Went when the kids where in school and right before the storm came. I did get rained on just a bit. Started at wills and went up the path 5 and back. Started slow and went easy up and felt good on the way back but still keep it fairly easy, but naturally faster from the down grade.

I am trying to decide how many miles to run before the marathon I am thinking anywhere between 1 and 100 we will just see how I feel.

So the positives in this race was I PRed big time over last years time (14 min) I didn't slow down as much as I did last year (I did struggle the last 3 big time though. I actually new I was not going to have that great of a race at about mile 6 my vision was going all blurry/wavey at this point and it was allready hot. I thought at this point I would have to pull out because I was light headed, I was so mad because my leg felt great. I took some power aid to see if it was my blood sugar and about 3 miles later my vision was clear again and never did that again. I am happy with my time but not happy at the same time. I know I should have been faster, but with the way I felt and the heat this is what I ended up with.
I started the race with Michelle, MacK, and Cal. Michelle was gone within 20 seconds and I took a pit stop at mile one and cought back up with Cal and MacK with in a half mile. MacK had to stop and stretch her calves and didn't see her again until about mile 7. So I ran with Cal until about 10 and then he left me. The first 8 or so felt super comfortable, only had my vision problem. Then the roller I really felt like I ran them smart. Got to 18 and I just couldn't push the down hill like I wanted IT WAS SURVIVAL. I finished feeling sick and like I was going to pass out and felt like that for about an hour. I feel fine now, leg are not sore I feel like I ran an easy 20 miler which upsets me. I wanted my leg to be trashed. But what do you do.

Oh man I had the worst night last night. The wind woke me up and my stomach was hurting me so bad. I thought I had food posioning. I went and slept downstairs for a while so I couldn't hear the wind as much. Needless to say I didn't get much sleep, and I didn't think I would feel up to running, but my stomach felt somewhat better this morning so I went out in the rain and the wind for a loving little run. Leg felt pretty good.

Slept in this morning and just ran with me, myself, and I. Ran down to my husband job and opened it for him then got on the jogging path and went up to the 1st drinking fountain and then back home. It took me about 3.5 miles to warm up and feel like I was actually a runner then I felt good until the last mile or so and legs started to get tired. Good run.

For this week I will probably do right around what I did last week. One more low key week before I start cranking out the miles for St. G. I also promised my self I would start back with the weights after Ogden so I would like to do this at least twice.
*Just thought I would put in here what I did before Ogden to stay injury free. 1-daily stretching, I do at least 15-30 mins of stretching before I go to bed. 2-I get regular massage (every other week, I would get one evey week but don't have time) and chiropractic work done (about 4-6 time a year). 3-I scrape my legs when ever I feel a twinge and after my long runs just to clean them out. 4- I don't ignore anything 5- I take a recovery week every 3-4 weeks ei. I cut my mileage down so I can handle higher mileage. 6-I eat extreamly well. 7-one more thing I forgot is I get more sleep than I use to (7-8 hrs instead of 5-6 hrs)
Wtihout all this I don't think I would have been able to run mileage into the high 70s without some sort of injury. My best advise is to listen to your body the FIRST time. It always gives you warnings (this is even hard for me all I want to do is run, run, and run some more.) | |

Got up and went to Sasha's and ran a mile before we all started. Jeff, Sasha and Daniel meet Matt on the trail and ran down to the 4 mile mark and turned back. We ran a decent pace alittle faster, but didn't feel hard, so I could get in a full 8 miles with them. Good run.

I am so mad! I thought that my garmin just didn't get pluged in properly but it won't charge. I just read about someone elses doing the same thing and he said it would be 90 bucks to fix it. Man it is only a year old and it is the second garmin I have had. And you pay up the wazoo for them, and I love using them. I just don't know what to do. I think if you are going to pay that mcuh for something it should last longer than a year!!!!! I am really begining to not like the Garmin company and there lack of testing their product before it goes public. GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Anyway ran with Michell in SF we did our riverbottoms loop. Great run, usually thurs. are my though and tired days but I felt great. Added on another mile after I dropped Michelle off.
pace 7:58 don't remember the time.

Met up with Michelle, Kent, and Steve. We started at Vivain park and ran up the hill to the girl scout camp and then back down to the start of the 10 miler course. There we started a 6 mile tempo, which I did in 39:39/6:37. Felt ok legs alittle tired but not to bad. First 3 are downhill and the last 3 flaten out but are still a slight down. 6:26, 6:38, 6:32, 6:44, 6:50, 6:29 really wanted to break 40 mins so I pushed the last mile. All in all a good work out. Everyone else kicked my trash on this though, but I am still happy with what I did.

| I think I feel pretty recovered form the marathon, probably not 100% but close. I think I will do in the 60's for mileage, we will see. Race a 5k on sat. would really like low 20's or even better would be in the 19's. 5k's are not my favorite, but I can gut it out for 3 miles. Do power yoga or weights twice. And like always daily stretching (which I do but don't usually log). | |

Got up and met Michelle early at Sasha's and we warmed up alittle so Michelle could stretch. Then the whole gang showed up and we did about another 2.5 before we started into some speed (Michelle wanted to be paced for a 5k) I just want to hold on for a mile and did my mile in 6:09. Fastest on the trail so far. Finished up the the run with Daniel and ran a little but with Sarah. Then I came home and finished up with laps around my block, fun stuff. Better run today than yesterday.

| Met Michelle and MacK in Springville to do a good 7 mile warmup before the race. We got soaked, it was wet and cold. So I changed gloves before the race, I would have change my top as well but I didn't have one. So Michelle ran the cousre once fast before the race and was planning on pacing me. We lined up to start and no Michelle, I looked and looked but she was no where to be seen. The gun went off. The 1st mile is a good uphill climb follow by a flat mile and then ending with a down hill to a track and finishing with almost a full lap of the track. Michelle ended up catching me from behind at about mile 1 and was a great pacer and helped me not slack off. Splits by my garmin which wheren't right on but pretty close.
1-6:53 the lady calling out splits said it was a 6:43 when I passed pretty happy with that because I felt good and it was uphill. In the middle of this mile I saw the main pack up in front of me and I was at the front of the 2nd pack. I decided I wasn't going to be there and cought up to that main pack. I am a main packer. I am a main packer. ect....
2-6:30 Passing people and feeling pretty good. Michelle is having me slap her fives and the end of this mile.
3-6:21 Starting to feel it but only 1 mile left. I can do that. Pass some more people.
.1-27 Was disapointed when I saw the clock and I had just missed a sub 20 min 5k but all in all was a good workout and I actually like it.
Cooled down 4 miles on the course backwards and froze my behind off so I didn't wait around anymore to see what place I got over all. But I think I was at least in the top 10. This was a pretty big 5k with 1500+ people.

Pretty good race for me, I wish now looking back at my split I would have been faster/mentally stronger at the end but I am happy. A pr for me so can't be to disapointed.
Warmed up with Michelle and James 2 miles, got to the start at it was about to start and we still had to get rid of our warmups. Started the race and could really only see about 20 people up ahead of me, not bad. The first 3.2 are a really fast downhill and then it flatens out on the river trail and is a very gental downhill.

2-6:32
3-6:26 feeling really good with this
4-6:36 flattens out here and this usually kills me but I still felt good
5-6:41
6-6:35 (39:08 faster than the tempo I did a couple of weeks ago) feeling pretty good still
7-6:38
8-6:55 I guess this is where I started to struggle or lose focus because I wasn't that tired
9-6:57 now I am starting to get tired just want to keep the pace under 7's
10-6:55 (1:06:33)
Course measure .1 long for me did that in 31 sec. See why looking back I should have pushed alittle more, I really think I could have but stayed under 7's so happy about that and I can tell the training is paying off.
Cooled down with amazing Michelle (1st place overall womens) and easy 5. We ran back to run her hubby in and yelled at him like no tomorrow to pick it up and he responded well we got him in under 1:20. | |

| Allready the middle of June, how time flys. A little bit sore after yesterday but not bad. Going to do one more building week before a recovery week, so I will break into the 70's for mileage. I am feeling like I need some sort of mental boost with running, I am hoping a recovery week after this week will do that for me. Any ideas for a mental boost? | |

So yesterday I woke up with a sore adductor/medial hammstring. I didn't pay much attention to it. I did scrape it and have my husband put some pressure on it with his foot (ok I had him stand on it but not with all his wieght). It is still sore, I think it is a combination of the long run on sat. and squating for 1.5 hours picking strawberries. None the less it is sore and I think I will be taking this week alot easier than I had planned. Hopefully this will be gone in a couple of days and not set me back any. I will follow all my own advice, and I am getting a massage tomorrow.
I slept in and wasn't even going to run at all, but I wanted to see how it felt running on it. So when my husband came home to shower I went out for an easy 2 miles. It felt alright could feel it but not bad. Then I came home and biked for 20 mins. then iced it while I lifted upper and core. | |

Met Michelle at Hobble creek for our super spectacular uphill/downhill tempo. We were both overly excited to do this workout. I for one wasn't sure how my leg would feel and Michelle has had some aches and pains as well plus she just did a killer workout on tues. We decided to keep it to 5 miles, 2.5 up and 2.5down.

Me and Michelle met at the mouth of Provo canyon. We started easy and ran fairly easy the whole way up. We went to the forest access (where the 10 miler starts) and started a MP tempo which is suppose to be around a 6:45 for me. Was not feeling it so it was slower but still finished out the whole 6 miles. During I was coming up with every excuss I could why I couldn't hold my pace I wanted. But here are the splits. Oh ya first 3 are a good downhill and then it flatens out for 2 and the last has some gentle downhill.
1-6:40
2-6:55 i felt like I was working harder than this. Uggggg

I had a dream last night that I got up and ran today and I was so mad because I really like taking sundays off guilt free. And now I would have to wait another week for sunday to come around. I was relieved when I woke up and it was still sunday and I hadn't ran.
This week starts another 3 week building cycle before another recovery week. I am still not sure if I am going to race on the 4th or not. I want to but I don't think my husband wants me to so we will see. Plan on 65-70 miles this week, sprinkled with lots of stretching. | |

Didn't get to meet with anyone this morning because I had to be home at 5:50am:( So I got up super duper early and ran by myself. Wanted to do 3*1 miles so I did a 2 miles warmup (wasn't enough) and started 1-6:39 mostly flat with a short steep downhill in the middle. Legs just felt trashed. 2-6:19 Had to work really hard, to hard. Starts downhill and then has some up and then down ending on flat. Didn't want to do the last one but I did. 3-6:40 ug! starts flat with a steep short down and then flat. I hate doing speed by myself on 5 hours of sleep, legs feeling trashed, and in the dark, but I did it and I am done. Now I just hope the legs freshen up for racing on friday:)

Pm another 3, 2 barefoot on the grass one on the road. I took my sister, dog, son and daughter with me. This was interesting. On the way home we did a mile loop on the road, my son was on his scooter. He fell just before we got home and scraped his knee. He just informed me he thinks he will still be able to walk. I also wanted to test out to see how fast my daugters electric wheelchair goes so we went down the street to test it on speed 4, it has 5 speeds, I clocked her going 6:58 and was to tired to go any faster. This surprised me because her old wheelchair only went around a 10 min mile. She did not want to test out the top speed. | |

Happy 4th of July, this is my favorite holiday. But I know remeber why I stopped doing this race many years ago. It is a crappy race-uphill start and uphill finish and then you get to weave your way through all the 5k walkers and strollers. As you can tell I didn't have a very great race. But they all can't be great, can they! Started the race by getting stopped up by a baracade they must have forgotten to move, I didn't see it because of all the people and ran into the guys in front of me. Then you turn up 9th east for the killer uphill. This last for about a mile or so then you have some good down. Then you turn onto unv. ave. for some flat miles then on the center for some more uphill all the way to the end about the last 2 miles. I gave up here, to many people to weave through. I know excuses excuses... I am mad I wasn't more in the game.

Met Michelle at Sasha for a pre-warmup before we joined Sasha and Jeff, Matt meet us on the path. Then we warmed up for a total of 3 miles before we did 6x1600 with a 400 rest. Sasha talked me into letting him drag me behind. I was a little aprehensive at first because I wanted a good workout and I was afraid it would feel awkard and put strain on muscle I wan't use to useing. But it actually felt fine. I felt like I still got a threshold workout and it really didn't fell like I was being pulled it just made it so I couldn't give up or slow down when I wanted to. It was kind of funny I was encouraging Sasha to keep up instead of the other way around like it usually is.
So remeber I am being pulled for these-
1-5:47 (rest 3:52) this feels like I am going about a 6:10-6:15 effort.
2-5:51 (3:23)
3-5:50 (4:46)
4-6:01 (3:38) I think both of us are getting alittle tired.
5-5:45 (3:56) We regroup and both work to stay up.
6-5:53 This one was super tuff but I tell Sasha to go, go, go on the last four hundred and we make up some time.

Just before I got to the mouth the the canyon there was Luz, her husband had taken her keys and so she biked up to Will's and ran to that point so she turned around and joined me. She was doing a good clip for most of the run. I got her going 7:46 and 7:51 and then we slowed down the pace to the 8's, she was alittle winded. Was not sore in the legs from yesterday just a little tired, a little sore in the obliques and intercostals. Easy run.

Man a tough workout today. The plan was to warmup 6-7 miles going uphill on Hobble creek course then do the course with every other miles hard starting with mile 2. Me and Michelle met at the end of the half and drove up to about mile 5.5 or so. Warmed up to the start of the course and took a potty stop and gu and water. Then we started with an easy one first splits are as follows
1-7:29
2-6:29
3-7:49
4-6:15
5-7:52
6-7:44 we missed our water we stashed and was way passed the mile marker and so we decided to do another easy and then continue.
7-6:35climb up out of the golf course.
8-7:51
9-6:38 getting tired and have some short steep climbs in this mile.
10-8:42 stop for an other potty break (stomach is really not feeling good 5 time going) and gu/water. stopped the watch for potty break but not water break.
11-6:44 OH MAN legs are feeling it.
12-8:15
13-6:54 this mile is really tuff, you finish on the grass.
time for the half 1:35:02
Total time for the run-2:41:47
Another potty break and then we cool down for a mile. Leg didn't feel to bad for a 20 miler just a little tired form the weeks mileage.

Got up early and ran by myself. Had to be back early so I didn't go as far as I planned, so if I have time I will go out later. Right ankle alittle sore, it was sore after the run on sat. so I iced and scraped it. I didn't feel it until the end of the run but I will watch it closely. Ran fairly easy and felt fairly well considering the workout on sat.

Got up and drove to will's and ran 2.5 before Luv came then we headed up the canyon 5 turned around for a 2 mile tempo. Luz did much better than last week I got her going a 7:19 and 7:35, way to improve Luz. Then we ran easy back to Will's. Nice recovery run. Then I came home and took my son, he was riding his scooter around the neighborhood for a mile.

Ok starting out I knew I was not going to feel fresh and I didn't. I was tired from the get go and was wondering at first if I wanted to finish this thing. My legs had no go to them, I was throwing up that acidy stuff into my mouth and mentally wasn't to into it. But I decided to hang in and make it a good workout. I definatlly was a good workout and a good pracitice on mentall tuffness.
My stepdad drove my mom, sister and myself to the start from Panguitche, got there and warmed up with the boys. Then I saw Marcie right before the start. We started together but she blasted out at the start and my legs didn't want to do that. So I settled into 3rd place, where I stayed the whole race. You start with a flat kind of up hill first 2 miles and then you have about 5 miles of screamin downhill, that completely trashes your legs. Then you go through rollers untill the end. Tough course on tired legs.

Cooled down with Marcie and alittle more by myself. Over all I am happy that I was able to pull off a 3rd place finish and a 1:30 feeling the way I did. Can't complain about winning 300$. I also PR by 5 mins form the last time I did this race. Legs are more sore than after both spring marathons. Did some hiking through Bryce canyon later that day. | |

Super sore today, I haven't been this sore for a long time. This week will be a recovery week, I am not going to even say what mileage I want because I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning a waddle through a run. So what ever I end up with is fine with me. |

Got up and waddled through a very easy 7 miles. Quads are what I noticed to be the most sore. After about a miles they didn't feel so bad until I hit some steep downhill. OUCH!

Before I ran Bryce I was going to run des news 10k but had not signed up for it. After I ran Bryce I didn't want to do the steep down hill that is in Des news. I really didn't plan on racing at all today, I had no babysitter so I thought it was out of the question. Then at 10 last night my sister said she would come over and sit in the morning. I would have like to have done Des news but they don't do same day reg. so I decided to do Speedy sp. 10k.
I really didn't know how I would feel I just thought I wanted a good tempo run. First 2 I was tired plus they are up hill, then the coarse goes through the SF river bottoms, which is a gradual down with some little rollers. I think the race went well, I felt better the further I went. Warmed up with Kent for 1.2 miles

Tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, I haven't been this tired in a long time. I think it was a combanation of 2 races back to back and lack of sleep. I worked in park city last night and didn't get home until around midnight (on the way home I saw Brail Veil falls all up in flames, very sad:( ). I got up at 4:15 to meet Michelle at 5am. I was dragging the whole run. I recuruted a new girl to come with us named Merri, she stuck with is for the first 15 and did very well. I had a very hard time on any uphill we had. Very tired in my breathing and upper body as well as leg fatigue. Last couple of miles where a death march all by myself, until Michelle and Hal came back to run me in. What nice people I run with.

I am not getting enough sleep lately and it is starting to show in my faster workouts. I got up and 4:30 to meet early at Sasha's to get some miles in before we started, Michelle joined me after about a mile. Michelle was doing 3x2 miles, which is what I had anticipated, but had to be home early. I did 2x2, opted out of the last one because I was not able to hold a decent pace on the 2nd. Now I wish I would have at least done a mile or something. 11.4

Up super early 4:50am, struggled to get ready. I kept try to talk myself out of going out and just getting sleep. Nope had to be fanatic and go out and get in a unmotivated 10 miles. I did manage to squeak out a 3:07 800 around a track. Then I moved on, most of the run was painfully slow until the end when I started to feel somewhat decent and was able to do a couple of sub-8's. 1:29:02/8:41 wr(445.3)
Pm-Went down to will's pit stop and ran toward the canyon, should have started in the canyon it was so much cooler once you got to the mouth of the canyon. Ran a total of 6 miles, felt better even with the heat.

I slept in this morning, can you believe that. I got over 8.5 hours of sleep, WOW that is amazing. I took my kids up the canyon around 11:30, way to hot. I pushed my son in the jogger and my daughter was in her speedy wheelchair. Very nice slow run.

| Met Michelle, Adam, James, Matt, Merri and her friend at the mouth of Provo canyon. We went from the mouth up to the dam and back. I thought I was going to feel crappy but ended up having a great run. Mostly just ended up running with James after the first 6 miles. We progressivly got faster on the way down and he made me kick it up a gear or two the last half mile. We were running sub-6 pace the last little bit. Legs felt good and James kept me entertaned with stories the whole way. So the run went by really quick. Ice in the not so icy river and then worked on James alittle. 2:36:01 wr(472.5) | |

| I feel like the most important thing for me to do this week is sleep. My goal is to get more of it and hopefully that will help me feel better when I run. I felt so good training for my spring marathons and am not doing much more except getting less sleep so I know I need to be getting more. Crossing my fingers that my husband will be finished with this job by the end of the week and with school starting in two weeks, I know my days of more sleep are coming. I will cut back just a little because of Provo half marathon and I want to feel good in this race, not like i did at Bryce. Somewhere between 65-70 miles, so not a huge cutback (I will save that for Hobble creek) but maybe just enough for them to feel good. |

afternoon-went out around 2:45 in the canyon, hot but not as hot as in the city. Just ran easy, I fell down my stairs carring my vaccume and landed on my back on the bottom step and it is very sore now. Hope it is ok and doesn't give me to much grief. 2.5 up and back.

I got to sleep in this morning, my mom came over so I didn't have to go at 4 am. so I got 8 hours of sleep. My back is quite sore though and affected my run today (going to the chiro tomorrow). Right SI is really sore as well as my neck. Could feel shooting pain down my right leg when I tried to run fast so the speed didn't work out like I wanted. Ran over to the Orem rec outdoor track, which is 800 meters long. Did 4x800 @ 3:01 (1:18 rest), 3:01 (2:29), 3:08 (2:05), 3:09 I decided to be done because my back was hurting. Then just ran easy.

I decided instead of getting up at 4 this morining I would sleep in and push my son around the block for 8 miles. I did 5 and then my sister came over to help me with my quickbooks. And then I finish up with 2 more with my dog and pushing in the jogger and then dropped the dog off and went one more. I got almost 9 hours of sleep.

I actually woke up at 5am and wasn't really tired anymore I would have ran then but my husband was leaving for work so I ate something and went back to bed and slept until 8:30.
I went to the park and did 2 mile barefoot in the grass and finished up on the road pushing my son. Feel good.

I am sorely disapointed, I cut my miles alittle and got more sleep so I really thought I would feel better and race better. I don't know but I just pooped out in the end and just gave up mentally. I just want to bag it all together:( I can't figure out why I am not racing the way I know I can. I really thought a sub 1:30 would be in the bag today. I just want to cry!
My moring started with my mom waking me up. I don't know what happened but I didn't wake up to my alarm. So ready in 2 mins. flat ( at least I got a PR for that) glad I had everything ready to go. Then we had to wait for the 2nd round of buses so didn't really get a warmup just about a half mile waiting for the buses. Get to the start and a quick bush stop and the race starts.

Not that sore form yesterday, alittle in the calves but nothing like Bryce. Did a good secion of yoga this moring.
Regroup and refocus...I want to keep training hard and see if it will pay off in the marathon. I still want to really focus on getting a good amount of sleep because I know that is a big part of my fatigue. I am also going to get my iron tested to see if that is a factor.

Had a great workout today. Met Michell, Mer, and James at the finish of the hobble course then we drove to about the half way point and ran up to the start. Used the facilities there and went alittle bit more up then turned and ran to the start again. There we started a 3 mile tempo, my goal pace was 6:30. I was pretty much on my own after this, James and Michelle where up ahead and Mer was behind. Then I did a miles easier and then another 3 mile tempo follow by another easy mile then a 2 mile tempo.

Started feeling yucky yesterday in the stomack and still not feeling the best, diaphram feels like it is in my throat so it feels hard to breath. Tried pulling it down myself and is super sore.

Went to Dr. Brady's partner yesterday to get my ankles put back in. He worked the left one really good and it hurt like nothing other. But he got both of them back in and they feel better, although the left one is sore from him working on it. But it didn't interfere with running. Got up and did my easy 5 mile loop and then took the dog for a mile.

Short report-Happy with a pr still not feeling the freshest but better so I will take it. Stuck with my plan of starting out alittle easier and then cranking it down.
My game plan and goal for today was to start out at an easier avg. pace then I would end up with and to stay storger at the end. I think I did pretty well at that. Warmed up with Marci and Michelle at the start and stretched. Ran the fisrt little bit with Bruce and Melanie, Bruce backed down after 2 miles and Mel went ahead about mile 5 so I was on my own. Started the race not really feeling fresh, middle felt alittle better but not great and end was hard but was determind to finish better than Provo half. Splits by miles markers

Left ankle was pretty sore after the race. Iced it all day, feels better today but still questionalbe. I kind of knew it was going to be this way after the race and told myself on the way home that if this is the end for the year I have had a great year. I had a pr in the half and the marathon, which I haven't had in 7 years. I have meet alot of great people and have had some great training runs. So if SG is out I will be ok with it, of course I hope it is not but I can't contoll if my ankle is going to be injured or not. Watched the mens marathon last night and scraped the ankle and calves.
I will take it by ear this week and probably do alot of crosstraining. We will see.... | |

Got up this morning not really expecting to run. I took the dog out for a mile to test out the ankle, felt alittle twingy at first but once it warmed up it felt ok. So I went out for another 5 after and actually felt pretty good post hobble. Still am watching the ankle really close. Had it on ice all weekend and scraped it everyday.

OH man I think my son is getting to heavy to be taking on 10 mile runs. It was hard, I should have just split my run in to two. Plus my ankle didn't like it past 7 miles.

On my own for speed today. The plan was to do some sort of tempo run in the canyon. I went when the kid where in school. Started at Will pit stop and warmed up for 3 miles then started into a 2 miles tempo up the canyon 7:01, 7:16 for those 4:50 break then another 2 mile tempo the other direction so down the canyon 6:35, 6:37 with a 3:15 break then I wanted another 2 mile tempo but broke into 2x1 miles cause I was getting tired and had no one there to push me through it. 6:38 (1:47 break) & 6:41. These last two are out of the canyon where it is more just flat. So all in all I am pleased that I finished this work out. Ankle alittle sore.
BTW- i went off the triangles and not the garmin, although my garmin was right on as well.

Went to Dr. Brady and had him work on the ankle some today. My left lateral soulus is super tight a result of the ankle. He says I need new shoes, that I am not a spring chicken anymore:) And he really likes how I have been doing barefoot running and wants me to get doing it again. | |

Got up super early to meet Michelle at Sasha's. She is doing a long run and I thought I would give her some company in the begining so she didn't have to run alone in the dark before she met with the boys. Had a great run, miss running durning the week with her. I miss running with people in genral during the week so it was so nice to have conversation. I wanted to go further but my foot was sore from being worked on so I decided to be done, know that is being disaplined right?:)

The plan for today was to run half outside and half it the pool but the pool was closed for it's annual matience. So I ran 2 miles barefoot in the grass and then went up the canyon for the rest. Felt good and the canyon was nice and cool.

I got a massage last night and she worked my ankle and arch really good so it was sore the whole run which was really annoying and make me worry. But what do you do. I met at the mouth of the canyon with Me and Amber. I wanted to get Me through her first 20 miler because she is running TOU and it is now or never. She did very well. We went up to the girls camp and back.

Decided I didn't want to do speed work my myself today so I got up to meet Jeff and Sasha at 5am. I wanted to do 3x2 miles and do a better job than last week. Started with just ovet a 2 mile warmup and it was very dark. These ones are down the path 6:35, 6:34 (3:40 rest). Turn and went back up the path wanted sub-7's becuase I couldn't do this by myself last week. 6:45, 6:45 (5:59 rest) Yes better than I thought I would. Then the last one we did 1 miles down and 1 mile up and Sasha gave his heart rate moniter to see what my heart rate was doing. Which took my mind off the pace and I focused on my heart rate and it seemed easier. 6:41, 6:44 really pushed the last quarter to try and get my heart rate as high as I could get it, a 187 I think. Droped Sasha off at 10.3 and added more. Ran into Sarah and ran with her for a while and chatted. I was freezing by the time I finished.
Wore an elastic brace on my arch that seemed to help. Arch alittle sore after. Ice and then heat.

I was going to get up and run but my foot was stiff and sore when I got up. I got it worked out by Dr. brady yesterday. So I went back to bed and thought to myself I canjust see how it feels when I get up and either take my son in the jogger or go aqua jogging. When I got up and walked around it felt good so I got ready to take my son out and my husband came home and was able to take my son with him. Yes!...I didn't have to push him. Felt good foot a little sore at first but felt good after a couple of miles. Went to the mouth of the canyon and back from my house.

I had such a plan for todays workout/race that went out the window in the race. My legs just felt achy and non responsive so I just ran what I could on this hard course. Pleased with the outcome, not exstatic but gives me confidence to get close to that 3 hour mark at SG. And the pace felt sustainable for me.
Starated the day by myself with a miles and some bathroom time, then Michelle joined with some more miles and some more bathroom time. The morning was chilly but great for racing. Warmed up for 4.4 miles, stretched and started the race. Legs felt fair but got achy around mile 6.5, the point where I really wanted to get fast. It just wasn't there for me.
1-7:04 Good comfortable start
2-7:06
3-7:17
4-7:17 1st good uphill
5-7:02 take a hammer gel
6-7:31uphill
7-7:31rest of uphill with some down
8-6:48
9-7:07 just can't get the legs to turn over like I want them to. Have this deep ache in my legs and low back almost to the bone.
10-7:09
11-7:04 Goal at this point was to get faster each mile.

Cooled down a mile with Michelle and had to get home. All in all I wanted to be faster but it was a great tempo on a hard course.
Foot was sore after the race but feels better after icing it.

| Ahhh a day off, it feels so good. I scraped my legs last night they felt achy all day. They feel better today, just like I have done a hard long run. I feel really blessed to be able to run the mileage I have this year and the preformances that I have as well. Now one more super tough week and it is taper time, plan on 75-80 miles, if I reach 80 it will be the first time ever. | |

I didn't get my last run in yesterday because my husband didn't get home until 1 am.
Met Michelle, Jeff, Sasha, and another kid for some speed work. My watch was out of battery so I just ran my fastest without a watch. We warmed up for 6 miles and then started I did a just over 2.5 miles (with only a couple seconds rest), 1.5miles , some quarters then a 1000 meter. No times but a good effort.

Had a massage last night it was great. Didn't feel great when I woke up this morning bad, bad cramps so I didn't think I would have that great of a run. Went out by myself after taking my son to school. Started at will's and went up the canyon. I actually felt really good and the pace/effort was easy and I had relief from my cramps durning the run. Just to return when I was done.

I did it I got 80 miles this week and did the big nasty workout as well. I wanted to do the 4,3,2,1 at MP with 2 min recovery last saturday but didn't feel good enough in the race to do it so I waited until today.
Met Michelle, Tyler, Kellie and their friends at the finish of Hobble and drove up to mile 7 and ran up to the start of that half for a warmup. It was so dark when we started, luckly Tyler had a flashlight to give us some light. Took a hammer gel and use the bathrooms at the top and started the workout. I went off the mile markers and went back up a minute for my rest.
First set 4 miles

3-6:51 Thought I saw a black bear but it was just a black cow up in the trees. Scarded me to death.

2-6:40 I was headed for a 6:30 in this but when I went over the cattle gaurd I decided to go on the dirt thinking that it just come out on the other side. Then I noticed that it goes into cattle stalls so I had to turn around and go over the cattle guard.
3-6:53 climb out of the golf course, got water after this one.

1-6:30
2-6:47
4th set 1 mile
6:43 and glad to be done. This was mile 10 of the course and it is rolling and the legs could feel that.
Ran back up a half mile to get my water and hammer gel and then finished up the course and had to add some more to get my 22 and ended going alittle long. So happy with this becuase it was a great workout and I did all the MP stuff by myself.

Taper week 1-plan on doing 60-65 miles this week with some fast stuff in there somewhere.
Ran easy today while the kids wherer in school, beautiful weather. I love running at this time of year in the mid morning, summer seems to last longer than when you run in the early morning. Did the Temple loop, legs could feel saturdays run but they didn't feel to bad. Foot is feeling better, felt alittle on saturdays run but not bad.

Started the day by myself early. Ran loops around timp. park before I met with Cheryl and Bruce. They decided to drive up to canyon Glen and start the warm up becuase time was shorter than we wanted. Warmed up 5.4 for me to the bottom of south fork and started a 6 mile tempo down the canyon.
1-6:49 wanted an easy start and this felt good, lost Cheryl at the end of this mile
2-6:28 with Bruce but he starts to pull away at the end of this mile but this is as fast as I want to go.
3-6:29 Bruce took a bad fall in this mile so I was able to catch up, he poped right back up and keep going even know he was bleeding everywhere.
4-6:27
5-6:48 Bruce agains pulls away at the end of this mile and I just try and stay close.
6-6:41 Last miles was tough and low back was bugging me at the end but happy with the turn out. 39:44 for the tempo
Came home and took the dog out for 2.7 to finish up my 15 miles.

I didn't get up and run because my husband left early and I didn't want to get up at 4:30 to run sleep is so much more important rught now. But I also had to do visiting teaching while my son was in preschool. So I thought I would run after I got done and then finish up with him in the jogger. When I got done with VT it was poring rain so I drove to his school and had 28 mins to get some running in so I just tried to get as much in during that time, I didn't think I would be able to take my son out because of the weather. But by the time I got home and feed him lunch it was sunny so I went out for some more.
I got in 3.65 miles in the 28 mins and then a slow 3.4 in 32 mins.

I think I will be forced to take today off. I came down with the stomach flu yesterday, my daughter and I have been trading it off know for the past couple of weeks. But yesterday it hit harder than I have had it in a long time. Spent most of the day in the bathroom and lost about 4 pounds. Not something I want right now. But I am glad it is this week and not next week. I just hope it clears up fast, I still feel pretty bad today and dehydrated.
PM- I was hoping that I would have kicked this by now, but nope still sick. my sister just joined the blog http://ericka.fastrunningblog.com/ I have been bugging her for months. | |

Ran while the kids were in school. Didn't feel all that well, last night on my run I had some heart burn. It contiued into today but was worse and my I was tired. I am guessing this is all a result of being sick so I just ran super easy. Took the dog for the first 3 or so and then finished on my own. Looks like I am in the market for a new watch, most likely another Garmin. They are nice when you do alot of training on your own. OK I will admit it I am a Garmin addict:)

Met for Bruce and Cheryl and some other Sojouners for the rock and run 3 mile tempo. There where 6 of us, we started at Memoral park in Provo and ran up 9th east to the start about 2.5. This coarse is a fast one, starting flat with some up and some down in the fisrt mile then then 2nd mile is all down hill on 9th east. The last mile finishes with the last of the down hill but not as steep and the last 800 is flat. Legs feel great just not alot of spring to them, still getting back my energy from being sick. But it will be there come marathon day. Then cooled down 2.5 and came home and took the dog out to total the 10.
tempo-
1-6:20 Bruce starts out sub 6 pace and I hung back alitte, that was to fast for me.

3-6:17 this mile I felt the stongest and was catching back up to Bruce.

My son fell out of bed last night and didn't notice until this morning that he had split his chin wide open. So we went to the doctors and got stiches, his first time. He was super good while they did it, he didn't cry or move a muscle.
I am surprisingly calm, but excited for the marathon. I know I have prepared well and also know that races just depend on the day. I know that it will be tough and am prepared to hurt and push through it. Can't wait to see how everyone does. Plan on just running around 20 miles before the marathon and getting good sleep.
The good thing with getting sick and having to take a day off is that I don't feel the foot/ankle any more and have been able to run without it taped:) | |

Oh not a very good run today. Took the dog out for an easy 4 miles at 1.5 into the run I had to go to the bathroom and there was no waiting. It is hard to find a spot with a dog, but I did and thought I would be fine. After another mile it came back and it was a painful rest of the way home. Plus I got a massage and so I felt tired and beat up. I hope the stomach thing was just my breakfast not agreeing with me.

Got to sleep in until 7 am at Marcie's house. We got up and met Clyde at the SG running center and dorve up to the start of the marathon. We ran the first 1.5 out and back to get the feel of the first and then also drive the coarse to see what is in store for tomorrow. I feel extra calm for some reason, usually I am a wreck the whole week before, but I will take it. I am excited though. Can't wait to see what the day bring for everyone. I wish everyone well in the race tomorrow. BELEIVE IN YOURSELF!!!! | |

Rough day for alot of us today. Wind, rain, and cold temps made for a miserable day. Legs just really did feel great form the get go, but like every year, they just felt very heavy after Veyo. Felt good the first 6 and last 6 but just wasn't my day and I am ok with that. I still PRed by a few secpnds and by 4 mins in the race. (will add more details later)
I stayed at Marcie's friends cabin up in Pine Valley the night before and slept pretty good. Had some really crazy racing dreams and heard the wind but did get about 6 hours of good sleep (very unusual for me before a marathon). Woke up at 4:30 and ate some breakfast and got ready, none of noticed the rain until we left right before 6 am. Bummer and it was still windy. Drove to the start hoping the rain would let up driving down the mountain to the start, but it didn't. Waited in the car until 6:10 and then we decided to go to the start. Warmed up alittle and used the port-o-potties. Started the race in my siglet, gloves, and a plastic bag to keep me dry;) that really helped. Started the race with the leg not feeling that great but wasn't to worried becuase it usually takes them a couple of miles to warm up but I was allready not hitting the pace I wanted-1-7:28, 2-7:22, 3-7:05. I was running with a friend, Bruce and he was kind enough to block the wind for me through alittle bit. The next little section I felt decent 4-6:58, 5-7:04, 6-6:34, 7-6:40 But still not hitting the splits I want. Ok Veyo, this is where I feel like I lose it every year so I just took it really easy 8-8:27, 9-7:54 but could NOT get my legs back after this, very frustrating. But tell myself to wait until half way and you will be able to run a big negitive split. Dameron Valley killed my even more 10-7:48, 11-8:23 I can't believe what I am seeing, why can't I get my legs to move?!? 12-7:43, 13-7:21 halfway 1:38 Man o man this is just not what I was planning and my legs just feel achey and non responsive, but I press on thinking maybe I can turn this around. 14-7:45, 15-7:02, 16-6:58 legs still not responding and I am wondering if this is all worth all my training and dedication, but still press on. 17-7:22, 18-7:10, this is just crazy and the uphills just keep on coming 19-8:08, 20-7:31, 21-7:02, 22-7:39, 23-7:32, 24-7:18, 25-7:28, 26-7:42 and the last .2 I kicked in at a 6:38 pace and about feel on my face right before I got to the line. The last 6 I didn't pay much attention to my watch and thought I was going alot faster than I was because I was passing so many people (still had a few pass me as well). But I was able to keep a consistant effort and didn't feel to bad the last 6miles just really cold, wet and miserable. As for meeting my goals I felt like I wasn't given a chance to run a smart race because I really didn't get to race it at the level I trained and I was NOT fun conditions. I did PR in this race and in the marathon. I didn't break 3 hours so that will have to wait for next year. No top 10 finish :( but I am OK that I didn't do what I KNOW I can do and Paul T did beat me but that is alright as well, he ran a strong race:) I did run a little negitive split. | |

Post marathon soreness has settled in good. I didn't think I was going to be sore becuase after the race my legs felt fine. I am not as sore as I have been after past SG but more sore than I have been after my others this year. I put all my wet clothes in a bag after the race and just took them out and was noticing how heavy they where so I put them back in the bag and weight them on a doctors scale 3 lb!! and that is over 24 hours after the race and not including my shoes which I am sure would have added another 2 or 3 pounds. Craziness!!!
The next while will be pretty low key for me. I would love to do another marathon soon to get that 3 hour mark but I promised my husband I would lay low on the racing for a while. But I do plan on training for a half in Jan. | |

Did 20 mins on my bike this morning and then decided I wanted to go up on the trails today. So I took my dog and went up to the Bonnaville shoreline trail. It was such a gorgious day out and the temps where perfect. This is the fisrt time I have taken my dog up on the trail and he loved it, he was dragging me he was so excited. My quads where sore starting and more on the downhill than up. But other than that I felt good. I am going to try and get in as much trail running in as possible before the snow flies.

Got a massage last night with some scraping, legs look beat up.
I decided to review my races and rate them as good, ok, and bad. I ran 15 races this year and out of that I had 7 good races and could even say 2 of them where excellent. 6 of them where ok race, and was happy with. And only 1 that I thought was bad (which was moab half). I am glad I did this because I realize that I had a great year. | |

Got up early, haven't done that in a long time. I need to get alot done today so that was my only option. Was going to meet Michelle but she didn't come up to Orem to work so I was on my own, I was tempted to go back to sleep but I was up and already dressed so I went. Did the CC loop and then took my dog out when I got home for 2 more. Legs where tired and somewhat sore from yesterday so the pace was alot slower.

My husband brought his computer so I decided to do some bloggin. San Diego is beautiful and the weather is perfect, 80 degrees with a cool breeze. I ran an out and back course form the hotel. I am sick so didn't feel that great but it felt easy, must be the sea level running. 41:41/8:14 2130 Spent the day at Sea World and got to eat with Shamo.

Took my dog up on the trails today. Was beautiful up there but I was very winded, I think from not being use to the altitude. Ran on a differant trail today parked in the same place but went the other way instead. It has a steep mile climb and then it is pretty flat up top.

Got up to a chilly morning. Met with Marie, Rebecca, and Cami this morning for an easy 6 miles then came back and ran the dog for two. My low back has been super tight and achy sence the marathon and keeps getting tighter and really bothers me when I run. I don't know what is up with it because I am still streching, maybe time for the chiro.

Went to Dr Brady today and got a workover. He wants me to take the rest of the week off and see him again on Monday. All the attachments to my sacrum are so tight it is causing major pain. He doesn't want it to lead to a stress fracture and either do I so some time off is ok. | |

My whole back was killing me by the end of the day yesterday. I was gong to met withe Michelle and the gang but canceled because my back was really worring me. I iced it and scraped it the best that I could and had my husband work on it some. I also took some IB because I just feels so inflamed everywhere (my whole back just felt on fire) ecp. down in the sacral area. I woke up with it feeling better, definatly not 100% but the pain is less. I wanted to get in at least 8 a day this week but that is not going to happen and what I have learned about the back is you DON'T push it or is just does not get better. So I took the dog out for 2 miles and it didn't seem to make it worse. I also have been doing alot of yoga and stretching. I just want to take advatage of this beautiful fall weather and spend hours up on the trails, but oh well.

Got up this morning with no pain in my back, that doesn't happen very often even when I am not having problems with it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to run because I didn't want the pain to come back. But I met Marie, Rebecca and a new girl, Melody this morning. Marie only wanted a short run because her foot has been bothering her so she just went 3 and then me and Rebecca added on some more. The back felt pretty good, the best it has felt in a while, it is alitte sore after but not bad. I had my husband work on it again plus I scraped it yesterday, and more IB.

But won't make any goals until the back is better. | |

Met with Marie, Rebecca, and Melody this morning and went to the Mouth of Provo canyon. We saw Becca and her friend and talked them into coming up the canyon with us. Then another girl that Marie knew named Julie ran on us so she joined as well. We tured around after a couple of miles and Julie came with us, she does most of her training on her own and wants people to run with so I think she will start coming with us. Back felt pretty good and I wanted to go more but didn't want to over do it so I didn't. I even felt decent enough at the end to run a couple of 7:30's.

Back feels pretty good today. Took the dog up on the muddy trails and had a blast. It really wasn't to bad, just in a few spots the shoes got caked with mud. My dog loved the puddles of water. Back felt good except on the steep downhill at the end. But the deep achiness is gone so that is good, just some tightness left. Came home and stretched really good.

Got up and met Marie, Rebecca, and Julie cam as well. Felt good today although I think I should have stopped at 6 miles the back is alittle sore. Had a good run with most of the splits at 8 or below. It feels good to be able to run faster than I have been able to.

My back was sore after yesterday's run, really discouraging, but I knew I should have just stuck with only 6 miles. I decided to just bike today with the help of the weather. I love that I am not training for anything right now because I don't feel like I need to go run in a blizzard.

| Took the dog up on the trails today. Did the Bonniville shoreline from the shooting range parking lot. Had a fairly good run. Went to Dr. Brady's and got accupunture. He said I need to take a week or two off so I am going to do it. My body has been screaming that anyway, so I will not run for a week. He did say I can still bike, swim, and walk. I am also going to atempt to do the 3 day apple clease and see if that helps clear some of the stiffness out of my back. UGG wish me luck! I will need it. | |

Day 3, final day yaaaaaa!!! Last night I didn't want to do this any more but I kept telling myself you have made it this far just one more day. Man time has never gone so slow. I think the worst thing is making food for my family. Last night my husband made brownies and the smell was killing me. I did find this new kind of apple that is soooo good it is called Honey crisp. It tastes just as is sounds.

I am so happy to be done with the apple cleanse. I feel pretty good today, my usual headache is not so noticeable. I was thinking to myself I was excited to go out and run but then I remebered I was taking the whole week off. My back does feel pretty good. No deep soreness, I don't know if that is from the cleanse or just not running. I just biked today 30 mins. I am not sure if I would do this cleanse again. It was torcher, it wouldn't have been so bad except for making meals for my family. I did try and take the half cup of olive oil and made it one swallow and could tell I was going to through up if I drank and more, so I took the rest in fish oils because they are much easier to down for me.

| Took my dog up on the trails and walked, my sister came along as well. Was beautiful up there today. went 3 miles. I am thinking more and more that I have tendonitis in the sacral ligaments as well as upper hamstring attachments and is just going to take time to get better. That probably means taking more than just a week off. But we will see, not minding so much I think my body and mind need a break. I do miss it though. | |

| Woke up feeling sick, sore throat and stuff. Haven't really felt that great scence the apple thing. I think lots of toxins trying to get out. Biked for 20 mins and then did yoga for 20 mins. Back is slowly feeling better. Decided I was going to be agressive with it which means daily scraping, ice/heat, and yoga. And only exercise if I think it can handle it. I really wanted to go out for a short run but resisted I might try on monday. |

| So after biking on sat. my left siatic flared up. This is differant than what I have been dealing with, if fact the old back thing seems to be doing good. I was really frustrated. Today I decided to go the rec center and test some running. I did 2 miles on the treadmill and it seemed fine. Then I did 20 min of pool running which seem to aggrivate the siatic alittle and then swam for 15 mins. After I hopped back on the treadmill for another mile and then did my back and ab excerises. The running seems to not hurt at all compared to the other stuff, weird. Then I came home and did yoga. | |

I went to Dr. Brady yesterday and said I have a really weird siatic and that my hips are just doing to much work. Thus the chronic siatic pain. My knees and anlkes need to learn to do more work. So I ordered orthitics to help my legs retrain. |

Went out for an easy run, back is feeling pretty good. I feel really out of shape, and my cough/cold will not go away. Came home and did my back/abs excersises and yoga.

| The siatic was up and down all weekend, but is feeling better. I went to the rec center and ran 4 miles on the treadmill in 32 mins and then pool ran for 20 mins and swam 4 laps. Didn't have any pain with the pool running or swimming, last time I did. I still think I will have to play it by ear for a while. Came home and did my back and abs. | |

Got up and met with Marie, Julie and Rebecca. Was nice to run with people although I think I over did it. Hopefully I will be ok, I did yoga when I got home and am ice/head my glute and will scrape later. The sciatic is flared up a bit. I will take tomorrow off and see. It is not as bad as it was. It is hard to be patiant.

No running today, I wanted to give the sciatic a break. I did do some deep work on it yesterday and scraped it. I felt better, though I am sore form the deep work (yes I did it myself). I did my back/ab excersises and 30 mins of yoga. Trying to decide if I should go and do a turky run tomorrow, I am so out of shape, but I would like to get some miles in. I guess I can just do that on my own.
Really missing running everyday and the amount I want. Injuries suck, I know most of you can sympathize with me.
Walked with my sister for 2.5 miles with the dog. | |

| Another beautiful day in the mountains. Fall is sure lasting long, just the way I like it. Went with my sister up on the trails. We walked together for 1.5 miles then I ran. Ended up going 6.3 all together but only 4.5 of running. Sciatic hurt after the run on saturday so I worked it again and it felt good sun. Can feel it alittle bit after today, will just keep on top of it. | |

| Sciatic hurt yesterday. I wanted to get up and run but I also didn't want to hurt today. So I went back to bed, although I didn't sleep well after I went back to bed. I might do something later but probably just yoga and my back/abs. | |

| Got up and met with Marie for an easy run. Felt good but scaitic was sore after. Went to Dr. Brady today, he worked it and watched me run. He says I am leading with my left hip to much and need to retrain myself to lead with my right and then keeping them in a nuetral position. Easy to say hard to do, but will really work on it. I also did yoga and abs/back | |

| Didn't get a workout in yesterday, was to busy. Plus the sciatic was super sore from being worked on twice the day before. Anyways I went to the rec and did 4 miles on the treadmill making sure to lead with with the right hip. Did 20 mins on the elliptical and pool ran for 30 mins. Sciatic doesn't feel to bad. | |

Got up and met with the Orem girls. They started at Marie's house and met me and Melody at the mouth of Provo canyon. I brought my dog because it was dark and I was not sure if I would end up alone or not. I ran with Melody on the way up and then picked it up on the way down. Focused on leading with that right hip again. Made sure Brune was on my right side so if he pulled it would not be my left. This seems to be helping, I can still feel it but it is not as bad. Came home and did my back/abs and squats. Then stretched, will do some yoga later. 41:10/7:58 Yoga with my sister.

Didn't sleep well last night but got up and met the Orem girls. Didn't feel that great on the run and went short with Marie and Melody, Marie was sick. Was going to go the the gym but still was feeling gross so took a nap after my daughter went to school. later-took my son and dog up in the mountains and did a run/walk thing, just ran what my son could handle. It ended up being about a mile with a total of being 2.5 of run/walking. Got my orthotics the other day and have been breaking them in, I like them so far. They are pretty comfortable. Yoga, ab/back

| I went to a PT last night, his name is Marv Roberson. He said my right SI was locked up causing the pain on the left, which make sence to me. A lot of injuries cross the body. Any way he worked on loosening up my hips for about and hour and then popped my right SI/lower lumbar back in. I think it was the loudest pop I have ever heard. I feel a hue differance, although I can feel it tightening back up so I think it will take a few times being worked on. I met my sister and the rec and we walked around the outdoor track for about 40 mins. Then I went and pool ran for 40 mins and swam 5 laps. | |

| Went to the rec today and did the elliptical for 20 mins. then I ran on the treadmill, I wasn't sure how far I was going to go, it would just depend on how the back felt. Yesterday it was super sore. But it felt good, I was going to pool run too but I forgot to bring my swimsuit so that blew that plan. Then I did weights upper and lower and abs/back. Went to Marv again after the work out and worked on my problem areas. Wasn't as bad today and he got some good movement out of that right SI and lower lumbar again. | |
