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!

I went out and the weather was great.  Then about 4.5 miles into the run it started to rain, then my 5 it was poring and my baby was getting wet.  I stopped under a tree but it just kept getting worse.  I was around the corner from Melody's house so I stopped there and a lady gave me a ride home while Melody watched my baby to get my car.  I made it 6.25 miles, felt good and just ran easy. 9:15 avg pace

It cleared up and was sunny around 2 so I went back out and finished up my run with the jogger.  9:02 avg. pace

Met Melody, Desi, and Marie at Marie's house we headed towards to canyon to do some mile repeats.  My goal was to do 3 between 6:30-6:45, we warmed up for a mile and a half and then started the first on was .4 of downhill and then up the canyon it was a 6:55.  Legs felt tired form the race.  The next two were down the canyon so I had the gentle downhill to cheat off of.  They were a 6:29 and 6:31.  Then ran back to marie's house.

So after the race and speed work yesterday my left hammy/sciatic thing flared up.  So I did 40 mins on the bike and 10 on the elliptical.  I don't know if I will pull off very much speed this year.  I knew going into the workout I shouldn't have done it.  So I just need to really listen to my body:(  GRRRRRR!   I went and got injection form Dr. B and it is feeling a lot better (friday) but I am scared to run.

IT band stabilizer and weight arms.

Mix of bike and elliptical for 35 mins and IT band stabilizer this is suppose to help and it seems to.  Hamstring does feel better but having it hurt like it did makes me scared to run.  Not sure if I will run tomorrow...man and I was just starting to feel my speed and endurance coming back.  This also makes me scared to race, I really wish I wouldn't have signed up for these spring halfs.

After debating with myself for a long while I decided I would get up and least see how I felt.  My husband had to leave at 6:30 for work so I got up at 4 to run.  I just stayed close to home so it was little loops and running up and down long streets.  I did my first 2.5 mile loop and my hammy/glute felt good, I started slow and by the second mile 8:30's felt fine.  so i just kept running,  I did so my IT band stabilizer before in the middle and at the end of my run.  So I stopped at 10 because it thought that was a good distance and I wanted to stop on my own and not have to walk back home because something hurt.  The thing that was sore after my run was my calves.  I came home and did 20 mins on the elliptical, pilates legs, and ab ripper x and stretching.
