| We are in Phoenix for a week for Craig's graduation! Craig did 21 miles today....17 in the AZ heat and 4 on the treadmill. I cheered him on on the treadmill while I worked Holly's Versaclimber for 40 min. I'm proud of Craig! He's doing a great job training for this marathon. |

| Craig and I did a hill workout this morning. We did a 1.5 mile warm-up, then ran up and down Roberts hill. I did it 6 times (.54 mi up&down). Craig did it 10 times! I tried to push it going up, but I think I could've done better. I was a speedster coming down though! After the workout Craig twisted his ankle stepping off a curb. DANG IT! I think I'm more distraught than he is. He signed up for the marathon and is planning to do it in 1 week. I hope he heals! |

| It's a new week, hopefully I can get more running in this week, although life isn't getting any less crazy as we near our date to move to Detroit. We are going to Vegas tomorrow and Wednesday, to Cedar Wed-Fri, to Provo Fri-Sat. Craig probably won't be running much (if at all) with his ankle. It's still pretty swollen and bruised, poor guy! He has a good attitude though! My run this morning felt wonderful. It was invigorating, fun, beautiful, and a little strenuous at times. I ran about 5 with my mom and Liisa on the dirt roads through Santa Clara farms. When we got back, my dad and Shadow were just getting ready to go so I joined them on the trails of the south hills. It was good spending time with dad. It was nice to be away from traffic out in the hills. The trail is really nice. A lot of up hill on the way out, but we made good time on the way back. A great start for the week! |

| Did my own run starting at 10AM. It was a little warm but I felt great. Whenever I run alone, I always find myself going toward the Hamblin trail and the cemetery. It makes me happy to run up there. It gives me the opportunity to visit Mitchell's grave and ponder the important things in life. Thank goodness for running or my pondering would be minimal:) |

| I ran the Utah County marathon as Craig's #1 fan. I didn't really plan on running the whole thing, but when they let me on the bus (despite not being signed up for the race) I determined to stick with Craig and be his motivator. We ran a nice pace the 1st half and we had fun visiting. We did 8's and 9's. Then we hit 13 and slowed a little. I left my cell phone in the port a pot at mile 14 and had to go back to get it! That was crappy:) That mile took me an extra 5-6 minutes at least! But I caught him at around 16 and he was starting to struggle. He had been favoring his swollen ankle and that resulted in some serious quad pain. He was discouraged, and a little mad so I was trying to motivate him and get his mind off the pain. Well, he hated people passing him at that point so I flipped this guy off that passed us (discreetly)...it made Craig laugh and smile, so I guess I did my job! We slowed down quite a bit the last 1/2, but I enjoyed myself. Craig was hurting and discouraged with his time, but I was proud of him. He did awesome considering his obstacles. We finished in 4 hrs 26 min. I didn't cross the finish line...I ran to get the camera in the car. It doesn't really count as a marathon for me, just a really really really long run:) Great job Craig, Amber, Travis, Annaca, Ally, Laura, Bob!!! You all did awesome! |

| It feels like Monday! We just got back from a mountain retreat and today was my first run for the week. We did a little hiking on the mountain, but nothing real strenuous. My mom, dad, Kaely, and I ran to the sc ball fields and back. It was a beautiful morning and the legs felt great! I am a little fatigued after getting only 4 hours of sleep. I may go crawl back into bed:) |

Ill be nannying, taking care of my 2 and I'll be husbandless. I'm sure itll work out. So Fri we ran 14 with mom, Liisa, Kaely, Jackie, Lauren. It felt awesome. Got an extra 1.5 running back to Lauren. I'll miss running in southern Utah! |

| Ui just completed one of the most beautiful runs ive ever done. We went to Kensington park-it was breathtaking! Craig and I ran the 1st 4.5 together pushing the girls, we alternated him pushing up the hills and me on the down.they stopped when we got to the beach! The lake has an 8.5 mi trail around it and I did it twice plus .5 mi extra (had to run back to get addys swimsuit). I tried to keep my pace under 8 after the 1st 4.5. I think I averaged about 7:30s. I would love to do all my long runs there. The only problem is that its 30 min away. I felt great the whole run til the lady 1.5 I got a little sluggish. Btw, thanks amber for the training schedule! I'm a little off but its nice to have a pace goal. I'm hoping to do my next 3 long runs in UT so we need to get together! |

| Oh, it's grand to have the internet! Soon I will blog pictures of our new place on our family blog. Looks like we're here to stay! I joined LA fitness this morning! I think it will greatly improve my training. I'm really excited about it. It's an extremely nice facility with a lap pool, tons of classes, kid care, great treadmills, etc. Plus, it takes 6 minutes to get there, only 3 minutes to get home (due to the Michigan Left-you can't turn left in this place, it's driving me crazy! You have to always turn right before you turn left. If you want to experience it, come on over to Michigan!) So, I ran 7 on the treadmil at 7:47 pace, gradually worked to 7:13 pace by the end. I showered at the gym and I think that will really expidite my getting ready time, as the kids are being watched at Kids corner! The pace felt great. My legs a little stiff and tired from yesterday, but overall a good run (as good as treadmill running gets!)
