Run with my Heart

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.

My getting sleep didn't workout this morning because I had to be home at 6am.  So I was up at 4:15am ran an easy 10 and know I am going back to bed.  Temple loop

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.

8:30 avg. pace

Got 7.5 hours sleep totall after I went back to sleep this morning.  Pretty good.

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.  Felt alright.

Back still sore, stretched really good last night and it does feel alittle better but can still feel it.  Woke up and ran fairly easy, was tired at the end but felt good most of the run.  Got alittle over 7 hours of sleep, this is so much better than I have been doing.

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 had the choice of getting up at 4am or sleeping in and taking my son in the jogger.  I slept in and got 9.5 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.

The end just really broke me down.  Cooled down with Michelle.

Ice bath and don't worry I am not giving up on running just feeling really sorry for myself and trying to figure out where my training should go to get faster.
