Run with my Heart

Goals for the next week/ 45-50 miles, 10 miles in crosstraining, streaching/yoga, see what my legs can do in the half marathon on saturday (plan to start easy and see if I can kick it into gear after about 3 or 4). 

Ran out in SF with Michelle, Tom, Amber, and Jamie.  A fun little group to run with.  We ran easy, some wondering random loop.  We dropped Tom off at his house and added on another 3.5 miles.  Good run.

1:24:06/8:21

1:21:17/8:25

Got up and ran the temple loop by myself.  Legs started feeling not so fresh and ended the same way.  The hill felt really hard.  But my run is done for the day and I don't have to push a jogger.

Went to the rec center and did 55 mins. on the spin bike,  used the day care their and liked it.

Early run by myself.  My husband keeps needing to leave earlier for work which is fine.  I just got spoiled for a while not having to be home until 7:30.  Having to be home at 6:45 makes it harder to meet people so I just get up and so it myself.  I would have ran while Gauge was in preschool but I just found out my daughter has a field trip today and I am not sure if they got a wheel chair accessable bus, why don't people realize if you have a kid in a wheelchair you are going to need a wheelchair bus to transport her.  Oh well she's going to a new school this year and it took her old one a while to figure that one out as well, even with me reminding them.  So any who I was sure if I would be able to get my run in later so I got up and ran early.

Not feeling the hotest this week, I think I am tried from last week and my certain monthly visitor has come for the week.  That always makes me alittle more tired.

1:00:46/8:27

went to the rec center and did 5 on the treadmill, and swam 12 laps. Legs feeling a bit better.

40:20

Ran an fairly easy 6 from wills to the foutain and back.  Leg felt better and I just keeped it at a comfortable pace.

48:12/7:58

I am calling upon my superwoman powers for tomorrow.  This is going to be a hard feet for me I think any way because I haven't ran over 12 in such along time.  Would just like to break 1:40

So I think I had a pretty darn good race.  Although I am super duper sore today (sunday), I usually am training for a full marathon when I race half but my longest run before this was 11 mile or so.  I was extreamlly happy with my finish I held it together and it was a tough finish, rolling hills.  For the kind of shape I am in I really could have not asked for anything more.  Plus I was able to meet Marcie and saw some good old friends, one being Mr. Hooper in the flesh.  Any way I had a really good, but though race.  My legs still didn't feel that fresh and the middle part of the race was on dirt and uphill.
