Enjoyable 8.4 mile loop in 1:06. The last two are back home which is uphill, so always a challenge. Felt good for the first 4 miles, then was tired. Must still be feeling the 25K?
Going to watch Chris race this afternoon at UVU. Excited!!! |

Ran 9,1 easy miles (approx 8:25 pace) after a restless night of sleep. Oddly, I felt great. Must have been the Kashi Go Lean cereal with fresh blueberries & almond milk pre-run. Usually, I don't eat much before morning runs.
Course was from home thru the Lagoon trails winding over to Legacy Parkway. Ran total about 4.3 miles out. I returned a slightly different route, just enjoying the morning.
Oddly, it was sort of a zen type run not thinking about the past, the future, but only what is. Very nice! |

Snow last night? Really? I was tempted to bag running, but then the sun came out so I decided to go for an easy 4.2 miler (33:52). Just ran from home thru the trails behind Lagoon and back home. Felt suprisingly good. Yoga has been my magic ticket on getting healthy so I will make every effort to make time for class!
Some sort of bug bit my toe and I kept waking up in the night. I finally got up and found some sort of ani-itch cream to stop it. Yuck.
NRR for me, I just found out that my youngest had to run 1.5 miles for his fitness class at SLCC and ran it in 8:40! This is my "I hate to run" son. |

| Ran from work, up City Creek Canyon to the 1 mile marker and back. 6.7 miles in 54:18. Slow up the canyon and low 7ish pace on the way down. The creek is running really high. I hope we don't have flooding issues! Still having some insommnia issues. I fall asleep quickly, but then have been waking up and unable to get back to sleep. Its been 3 nights of this. Wanted to go to yoga, but had to work late. Its marked on my calendar for tomorrow after work. This one is called Strength/Core yoga. |

Beautiful run at lunch. 4.7 mile course from work, up Memory Grove to the guard shack at City Creek Canyon and back (38:42) . Ran easy on the way up and quicker on the way down. What a difference it makes being able to run in shorts and sports bra.
Went to a Yoga for Strength class after work. Lots of strength moves, planks, handstands, balance moves plus hip openers. I think this is already helping my running.
Note, this was my fifth running day in a row. Have not done that since my ankle surgery in December!!! |

Scheduled day off of running. After 5 consecutive days, I thought cross training was a logical option. Did 55 mins on the elliptical at work followed by some light stretching. Walked Abbie 2 miles after work. Beautiful evening! |

Decided to do my long run on Friday, so decided to do yoga today vs. run. I have just been so tired this week and realized that I have been building mileage thru March but never stepped back.
Yoga was excellent. Highly recommend Avenues Yoga in SLC. They have great personal teachers and really work well with runners.

Met my good friend Anna at the Einsteins on Wasatch Dr and I am glad I had someone to meet cuz the weather was awful. On my own I would have run on the treadmill and not as far. We did a loop running south on Wasatch, then dropped down the hill running west and then back south again and wound up by Porcupine Grill (Big Cottonwood Canyon), then ran back on Wasatch.
Weather was really a horrible mix of snow, ice, and rain. Roads were also slick, so our pace was approx 8:50. Very slow for us.
I have been really sore since the Buffalo Run 25K so scheduled a massage for this afternoon. I hope that helps put the bounce back in my legs! |

Ran 5.2 miles in 43:14. Not too fast, but felt hard after the 11.5 miler yesterday. I also have been so tired this week. Slept like a rock last night and could barely make it till 10:00, then slept 9 hrs straight!
Going to an Intro to Yoga class at Avenues Yoga with running friend Anna. She is interested in getting more flexible for her running too. As we are getting older, we really need it! |

Decided to run from the office to West High and do 8x200. Being that I am still getting back after ankle surgery, I have decided to start easy by throwing in strides or 200s a couple of times a week. Hopefully, I can progress quickly to 400s then 800s.
Times for the 200s were MUCH slower than when I have done them in the past. Avg 48 sec per 200. |

| 5th running day in a row and legs of lead. Decided to do a short easy run as I had a scheduled yoga class later. The first 2 miles up city creek were dog slow. Then my legs perked up and finished at a 7:30 pace! Yoga class was great. Yoga for strength. Lots of planks again, handstands against the wall, and nice hip openers. |

Visited the PT today for my first eval prior to the gait training. Found that my right hip/glute/adductor muscles are much weaker than on the right. Ran for about 4 mins while the PT videoed me and he found also that I tend to run like I am on a tight rope, adductor dominant. He then had me run to a metronome to keep cadence and videoed me again. Wala, form cleaned up.
I will go 3/x per week for about 2.5 weeks and will run for about 30 mins on the treadmill there doing all sorts of gait training. The kicker ... no running outside of PT until I am done. Yikes! |

Went to PT "Gait Training" today and ran 4 miles in 30 mins on the mill while listening to some sort of beat to keep at 180 strikes per minute. Appointement was at 7:00 am and I felt like I was getting a cold so it was hard to start this pace right off the bat. Before long I got into a groove. The PT videoed me at the slower strike per minute and then to the beat and showed me the difference, slight difference but over the course of miles and mile of training it will make a huge difference in not getting hurt.
Also added more glute and abductor exercises to the mix. Left feeling pretty worked over.
Did yoga later in the afternoon. More of a stretching type which was needed! |

Big goose egg on any cardio today. Was up sick all night so bagged it. Definitely have a nasty cold, but that would have been doable. I have not been eating any red meat and ate at Outback last night. I was sick with stomach cramps until this morning.
I have a 2 hr yoga workshop this afternoon that I will gut thru. |

| Nice Easter morning. If I was not in the PT gait training cycle, I would have gone for a run. Did get Rick and hiked up a section of the trails I have not been on. Started at Fernwood trailhead and hiked up north towards the Farmington towers. Gorgeous morning. No cyclists. Perfect! |

Did 1 hr on the elliptical at lunch. Sweat like crazy. I do not know how some people at the gym work out in long sleeves and sweats!
Did yoga for strength after work. Again lots of planks, handstands, and hip opening moves. Love it! |
