We were in Vegas for this run.  We just ran around the hotel, up and down a big staircase like 4-5 times.  The scenery was pretty...can't beat the JW Marriott on the company's dime!

Ran a mile with Liora and the kiddos.  It was stop and go.  As we returned, Craig arrived home early from work!  So I went another 4.25...it was windy, I was feeling stressed and worn down, so I went pretty slow.

Completed Christi's long run before her race in 2 weeks!  I hope she recovers well for her race.  I don't feel like a very good trainer...sorry Christi!  Next marathon, we'll do some speed work, I'll run you to the ground and we'll do ALL our long runs!  Sorry about your blisters!  Hope they heal before SLC!!!

Rode the bike for 30 minutes while reading my book.  Not much of a workout, but felt good to loosen up my legs after Saturday.

Ran a pretty quick 3.1 miles, mostly so I could get back in time for Craig to leave.  I like running on a time crunch because it makes me run faster:)  I'm not putting in a lot of miles though.  Not too concerned about that, not really training for anything at the moment.  I feel good, other than going off 4 hours of sleep.  I've gotta do something about that...

Rode a sweet bike at the new gym on campus.  It was a serious workout.  Simulation of a trailrun with a screen in front of you with other bikers/scentery/elevation, etc.  It was awesome!  Rode for about 35 min. while Craig lifted and pushed Hope around in the stroller.

Have I ever felt less like running? No.  Glad that I made myself do it, but struggled every step.  I think I have something viral.  Not sleeping much either...

We were camping in Sedona this weekend.  It was so fun! But no running for me.

I should have worn my Garmin on this run.  I really don't know how far it is.  Maria and I ran T-bird trail loop.  Ran for 32 min.  Hard going up, not so bad back down.

1 mile with Liora.  Ran to monster mosque hill and did it X1.  Next time I'll do repeats.  I had to get back for Addy's parent teacher conf.  It is exactly 3.5 mi. from here to the top and back.

I'm back!  I'm going to back track and try and guess how much I ran in the last 2 weeks.  I didn't do a whole lot, but I did some running!

This stupid virus or whatever it is is finally leaving my body.  I can't believe it lasted 2 weeks.  Poor Hope still has it.  It was 1 miserable week of fatigue, weakness, coughing, congestion, sore throat, no voice, trouble breathing, tired, weak, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, did I mention groggy?  Wow, it was miserable.  I remember 1 day I went out to run and made it as far as the library (.5mile) and just turned around and came back because I didn't think I could go any farther.  Another day I went out for a run and I had my cell phone...2 miles into it I called Craig and told him to come pick me up, he didn't, so I had to run the 2 miles back home.  I can't believe it was that bad!  

However, last week it was a little better, I was still congested and coughing some, but I felt much better. So I did one day of trail running with Maria (that was so fun!). Another day I ran the Mosque monster hill for the 1st time since living here (why I waited so long, I don't know)  it wasn't as hard to access as I thought, you do have to run down a freeway exit ramp, but that part is just short. Then, for my birthday I got a new running stroller.  Yippee!!!  It is so nice, it's a Phil&Teds double and I love it!  I took the girls for a run today in it, it was heavy with both girls, but what a smoooth ride!  We did the skunk trail 5 mi. loop.  Addy and I talked the whole way.  It's nice having her in the back seat, I can hear her at such close proximity.  Hope seemed to enjoy herself too!

So, we are packing and moving this week, but I'm going to do my best to run run run.  I feel like I gotta get back in shape! Cya.

I was a beautiful day.  I felt awesome, it felt really good to pick up my pace and run to music...I ran to Craigs list, "Dance Friender Dance," "Are we human, or are we runner?"   I ran a route I used to run with Meagan, parallel to skunk trail, then along the wall-out and back.

I am going to miss AZ.  Today was a run down memory lane. I thought of all the runs I've done since living here.  When I first moved here and ran with Meagan... dying in the heat and going without water!  She started the MWU running club.  It was awesome to get up and have a group to run with 3 days a week.  She was a great motivator.  Then running with Cami.  She and I had similar pace and goals.  We trained for St George together.  I remember doing mile repeats with her at the track...doing our long runs on the skunk trail out and back out and back.....  Then one year I trained with Cameron, he was doing the Logan marathon.  We would do late night runs starting at 9-10pm. One year I trained with Taya while she was training for Ogden.  For awhile a group of us girls on campus ran together....most were just beginners --it was fun to see them progress to run 3 miles. Then there was Christi and Liora.  I was supposedly their trainer.  I don't think I should do it professionally.  Christi did finish her marathon and did great!  She only had two months of training and had never ran more than a 10K..I'm very proud of her!  Liora is working toward her 5K, she'll do it!  

I'll miss running at Arrowhead Lakes, skunk trail, utopia.  The weather here is perfect nearly 9 months out of the year.  What am I going to do in Detroit?  I'm glad to have this blog.  You are all my virtual running partners.  You motivate and inspire me.  Thank you!

I ran out and back on Utopia.  It literally is utopia, the beautiful tree lined streets, golf courses, parks, people out running/walking, little traffic.  I should have ran there more!

I didn't feel super today like I did yesterday.  I had a harder time picking up my pace.  But it was nice.  The weather couldn't be better.  It was cool and shady.  I'm really going to miss this place!

I'm looking forward to running in St. George for several weeks before we head to Detroit.  It'll be fun to run with family and friends:)
