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 pulled a Paul this morning, set the alarm for 5 am and didn't want to get up but really didn't go back to sleep.  My husband was going to leave at 6:15 but needed some papers printed off so I go up and did that and then went out and did laps around the block until my son woke up (5.2 at a 8:07 pace) and then took him in the jogger and my dog for the last part.

Did a tempo run today, met Melody and Julie at vintange and warmed up 2 miles up the jogging path.   Started the tempo 2 miles up  the canyon and 2 miles down, I quickly fell behind but could still see them but my watch was saying I was only running an 8 min pace.  I felt pathetic, finish up the the up hill with my watch saying I was only going 7:48, 7:39 and 7:30, 7:00 on the way down but I don't think my watch was picking up satilite properly because both the girls watch said over a min per mile faster and I wasn't over a min slower then them.   In fact on the was down it took my watch over a half mile to get under an 8 min pace.  This did make me feel a little bit better.  They avg. 6:40's going up and 6:08's going down so I figure I was no more than 30 seconds behind them so about 7:18, 7:09 going up and 7:00, 6:30 coming down.  Maybe even faster, those dang trees where making it hard on my garmin for some reason.

Met at Melody's for an easy run, she had a friend as well.  Felt decent a little stiffness from the speed yesterday.  Ran about  5 with them and added on the rest by myself.

Met at Julie's house and went and ran trails.  Legs were just a burning on the steep, steep uphill section but did fair.  Dropped everyone off at 7 and ran 3 more.

Went out around 10:15 and it was still nice and cool.  Just ran an easy 5, went to the post office to drop some letters and looped back home.  Left leg was a little sore from getting scraped last night and felt a little sluggish the first mile but felt good after that.

Met up with a great group for this mornings group, which included Melody, McKenzie, Aurbry, Kent, and Shawn.  We carpooled up to the 3 mile mark of Hobble creek half and warmed up 3 miles to the start (25:48), then took a small drink/potty break and ran the half course with every other mile hard starting with an easy one.  I had a great run, here are my splits.

1-7:16 had to remind the girls that this was an easy mile

2-6:32

3-7:11

4-6:23

5-7:23 

6-6:38 took a drink break towards the end of this mile because we had water stashed.

7-7:13

8-6:44 starting to feel it

9-7:30

10-7:02

11-7:55

12-7:31 didn't really kick it into gear on this on I was deep in conversation with Kent.

13-7:49

total time 1:33:05/7:15 with ending up with 12.9 for the distance most of my easy miles I would lap because everyone elses garmin would beep before mine.  Any way good run and gives me some confidence that I didn't have before.  Left leg was bothersome at the end but not bad.
