The first time in my running life that I ran south of South Temple. Ran to 2100 S and back and threw in a loop around Liberty Park just cuz that is what you crazy road running peeps seem to do. Can't wait for this road nonsense to be finished so I can spend more time in the mountains!

For the last 3 months I haven't been able to sleep past 4 or 5 am. Well I finally found the cure for my early waking insomnia and that was to switch to a morning running routine. I hit snooze for about an hour this morning before dragging my butt up at 6:30. Then I somehow managed to run my fastest City Creek 5-miler to date - yay!

One ridiculous attempt of a trail run - 2400 feet of elevation gain in 1.5 miles. I am thinking my Garmin was a little off though. Still don't know what I was thinking...

Another bust of a trail run this weekend. Sore from yesterday's trudge fest, little sleep, plus middle of the day heat makes for one lousy run. Oh well I guess I am just amazed I got out to do anything today!

I've gotten seriously faster since starting this blog - funny how that works :) Ran around the aves in just under an 8-minute pace. Pretty miraculous feat for me!

Stoked on my first half marathon! 

I was really afraid I started out too fast but I was just so psyched. I was planning on running the first 9 miles at a pace I knew I could sustain since I hugely feared the crash and burn, but I just kept running faster. I then let her rip for the last 4 miles with the last mile being my fastest - a 7:14 oh my! Which is completely insane considering I've never run a mile that fast in my life. I pretty much felt awesome - no complaints except for the whole trying not to crap myself between mile 2 and 6 thing.

Ran from the aves to 2100 South and back with cement legs the entire time. First awful run I've had in a good month or so -ughhh!

Ran to Desolation Lake from Upper Mill Creek on the Big Water, Great Western, and Crest trails. The wildflowers are absolutely going off on the Wasatch Crest. I almost forgot how much I love trail running since I've been preoccupied with this road crap :)

Dusted off the VFF's this afternoon. Forgot how fun they are to run in and my achilles didn't feel like it was going to snap in half until I get to the 2 mile mark. Should probably start running in them at least once a week to help with the foot strength.

Was inspired by all you fast peeps in the marathon yesterday so I thought I would end my run today with a fast mile. Ran a 6:54 (my fastest ever) and thought I was going to hyperventilate and die. Then I got in some sprints when I got to the bus stop and realized I forgot my bus pass. I spilled coffee all over myself while running, but I did catch the bus - thank goodness it is Tuesday already!

Quick run up City Creek. I am amazed at how friendly people are in the morning!

It was a cool 90 degrees up City Creek this evening. Ran into two deer and they weren't even phased by me. I think they are getting used to seeing me up there. Time to rehydrate with margaritas - happy weekend!

Worked on my heat tolerance this morning and found out I still have none. Headed out on the BST around 11am and didn't last very long.
