| I am looking for ADVICE! I signed up to run a half marathon 5 weeks from today and since I have never followed a training plan, or well any kind of plan ever I don't really know what to do. I really want to beat my one and only (road) half marathon (Bryce Canyon 2011) time mostly as a fun challenge to myself, but also because of spite :) I had lots of ortho peeps tell me I should never run again after my hip injury and that I would never be as good as new and well darn it I feel better than new so I want to prove it! Yeah, I recognize that Bryce Canyon is a way easier course than The Other Half and that my goal may be a longshot, but whatever I want to go for it!
So what I am wondering... (1) How do you figure out what kind of pace you are capable of when your running has been all over the place? I am thinking I should maybe run a 5K in the upcoming weeks to gauge my fitness. I have no idea. (2) What kind of runs should I incoporate into my week? Up until now I just run when and as far and as hard as I feel like.
AM: 2 hour ride on the Legacy from me casa.
PM: Core, glutes, and feets. Operation back to PT starts today!

| Biked up to Red Butte for the final concert of the year with a backpack full of beverages and a lawn chair strapped to my back. Nearly tipped over on the final hill by Huntsman.

| Sat in a car for 3 hours, got blasted in the eyes with sand for a good 2 hours, and then saw the Lumineers play 5 songs before the concert was called due to wind?!?!?!?
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever go to a show at the Saltair!!! Ever!
The Saltair should only be used for windy X K's.

| PM1: Hour of PT trying to get my SI joint back into place :( Followed by another hour of squats, planks, and ughhhh!
PM2: Took Jake's advice and tried to run 3 miles at 8 min pace at LP (that is Liberty Park). Wasn't too hard except for the mind-numbing boriness of it all. Miles were 7:53, 7:43, and 7:28. Had to speed up for the last one because I had a flight to catch. Flying to BEND now!!!
Hips felt surprisingly great and dare I say normal after the afternoon beating!

| AM: Rode bikes all around Bend.
PM: I have been wanting to try stand up paddle boarding for nearly ever so I was stoked to find out that my friend Jamie just bought two boards. We spent the afternoon cruising up the Deschutes River and then floating back down. FUN!

| AM: A friend of a friend of my friend's offered to give me a tour of some Bend Trails this morning. I was very nervous about my ability to keep up with said fit looking Bend male, but I did alright. Trails were very lovely and rolling. Ran alongside a herd of Elk for a half mile or so. Awesome. Next up wiener dog races, or as Fiddy would say, sausage dog races :)
PM: Crux Off Leash Northwest Session Ale and Crux Doublecross Dark Belgian
