Aubree's Running Blog

Ran with large group this am. Finished up with Cheryl and peg. Fun chatting with these fun ladies! AP 9:30. Did a lot of walking. Most running was 8-8:30

Decided against speed work becasue my IT band is still giving me trouble.  I'm afraid this run made it worse...It is really painful now after the run.  Did some stretchs and excercises and took a clelbrex.  I plan to get a gym membership and do some yoga and spin.  Hopefully this is enough to recoup before the 24th 1/2 marathon!  

Ran with Cass and Abby.  Conversation made the run go fast:)

Ran with mom and Liisa Dutchmans/Sunbrook and back.  Still taking it easy on IT band.  Ran/Walked.  IT was ok until last mile it stiffened up

It was an inspiring day!  Amber invited me to go watch her friend do a time trial to try to get a sub-14 minute 5K.  So amazing to be in the presence of these elite runners.  SO COOL!  He did not quite make his time, but I was so incredibly impressed by the speed and focus of this runner (he runs for SUU).

Then Amber and  I ran together after.  So nice of her to slow down and run with me!  She is taking a break for a month before she starts training for another Olympic trial.  It was fun to catch up.  I was breathing hard at our pace of 8:03 avg.  We ran from Dixie High to the trail out and back.  So fun! We decided we will both do Boston 2017. YAY!

East canyon trail.  A big group came, but I ran mostly with Cass.  Knee was bothering me most of the way back. Had to walk a lot!  Nice to run in shade most of the way.  A lot of hypnobirthing/ natural birth talk:)
