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 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).

Did 30 mins of power yoga yesterday.

Got up this morning ready for a good run, my body said differant.  I felt awful, I was hungery, tired, and felt like I couldn't run.  But I stuck it out for 10 miles.

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.

Core work on the ball.  WT upper and abs.

Ran to the park down the street and ran barefoot on the grass, I had to see what this was all about.  I loved it!  It feels like you are a kid again, feeling the soft cool grass under my feet.  I think I will do this a couple of times a week.  I can see how this really helps your form.  Followed by some good stretching in the grass, ITCHY.

Got up and ran by myself.  Cool and rainy but not bad.  Some what tired, just not feeling it this week.  Don't know why, maybe just not recovered from the marathon yet or maybe because I'm late.  Something.....

It was brisk out this morning but I got hot with my long sleeves on.  I got up super early because my husband had to leave early.  Still not feeling it, ran an easy 10.1 not paying any attention to my pace.

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.
