OK- so I'm finally back to blogging.  It's been a while!  My run was good today.  It was just a take it easy sort of run.  I've been having some issues with my knees and I'm trying to nurse them back.  Could be from the old shoes I was in but I bought some new ones on Monday and I think it's helping.  I'm not sure what the pain behind my knee is all about.  Maybe a really tight muscle or tendon.  Who knows!  Trying to concentrate more on stretching after I run.  Tomorrow I am going to attempt 18 miles wth my friend who is going to run the SLC Marthon also.  Found out that the Avenue of the Giants on May 1st is a no go since my sister got sick and I don't want to go to California alone!  Had to bump my training up two weeks so I'm hoping I don't push it too hard!  I guess as long as I listen to my body and actually do what it tells me to, I should be good!  That's the tricky part!

Went out for a chilly 18 mile run this morning with my friend Katie who is also going to run the SLC marathon.  Started out pretty good at about a 9.5-10 min mile pace.  Pretty much kept that pace the whole time except for a few stops to stretch and potty break.  About the last 2 miles my right knee was really bothering me.  It almost gave out a couple of times.  Stopped and stretched a couple times and that seemed to help.  Still achy though.  All in all I felt great the whole run.  It was a big mental milestone for me.  It's the furthest I have run in 3 years!  Now I am sooo tired.  Need to take a nap!

7 miles today - still trying to let my knees recover.  I'm a little nervous to go out too much but not willing to not run!  I felt pretty good the whole run though.  Just a little pain but nothing like Saturday.  Hopefully it just keeps getting better and better.  I haven't been pushing the intervals yet, just to try and recover. Most of the run was at 6.3 but bumped it up to 6.4 then 6.5 for the last couple of miles.

Seven mile recovery run.  Just trying to get my knees back to where they should be.  Feeling much better this week!  Very happy about that.

Beautiful outside run this morning.  3X2 mile intervals at marathon pace.  It's much harder to keep a steady pace outside than it is on a treadmill!  It was still nice being out there again.  My knee didn't really hurt too much.  That was nice!  Can't wait for spring to really come.

Just 4 on the treadmill today.  I was suppose to run 8 but just ran out of time.  Have my long run tomorrow.

Long run today since we are heading to Boise tomorrow.  13 miles toward Shelley and then back to Apple.  The girl I was running with had some issues with her leg so we stopped a few times to stretch.  Good news is, I didn't have issues with my knee this time.  Yay!

We were in Boise this weekend so I had the "privilege" of running some hills.  I pretty much ran 4 miles up and 4 miles down.  The uphill was slow going but challenging and scenic!  the downhill was very fast until my knee decided that it didn't like that anymore.  I should have known, of course.  Now I'm kicking myself (if I could!).

Headed out to do 8 miles this morning.  I was a little worried about the roads being too slippery but they weren't too bad.  Had a pretty good pace going for about 3 1/2 miles and then my knee decided it had had enough.  I kept on going and then decided to call my husband to come get me.  Poor guy.  Only got in about 5 miles.  Poor me.  I hate starting out the day like that!  Oh well, I've got to try to get this knee better before Saturday- I have 18 miles to run!!
