Breanna's Running Blog

This morning I did a Bikram yoga class, then I went for a 4 mile run. I felt really good and it took me about 37 minutes.

Went for 4 miles. It took me about 36 minutes. I need to get some new watch batteries so I can start knowing my times more exactly. My hamstrings are very sore from the yoga yesterday. Other than that I felt good and I was able to open up a bit on the way back. I went to the Old mill haunted house and back.

I didn't run yesterday because I wasn't feeling very well. Today I went 6 miles at Sugar House Park. I just did 3 laps around the perimeter. My left knee and shin were hurting a little bit, but hopefully will feel fiine by tomorrow. It took me about 56 minutes so a little under 9:30 pace.

Started at the capital went to the mouth of city creek and went up about a mile and a half, then came back down and went to the drinking fountain at Shriners and back to the capital. I needed 11 and I thought it seemed short but my dad told me that would be 11, so I went to go find him on his run to see if he wanted to be put on the list for massages. I asked him if it was really 11 we thought about it and realized it was only 9, so I got out of the car and went with him a little ways which ended up being 2.5 more. My left shin was hurting a little bit the whole run. After the run I did toe taps and calf raises and streched a little bit. I need to remember to strech and do strengthening exercises so that I can stay healthy.

I went to Liberty park this morning and did 6 miles. It took me 53 minutes so about 8:50 pace. It's starting to get easier and I'm starting to get faster so that's encouraging. Last night I was walking through my house in the dark and I ran into a wooden table with my knee pretty hard. It's bruised and hurts pretty bad. It bothered me on the run but not too much. Hopefully it'll get better in a couple days. My shin didn't hurt today. I did the calf raisers and toe taps after my run again. I also stopped at the gym and did some core work. I've been getting alot of side aches so I think I should do more core work to help prevent that.

I went for 7 miles. I wanted to get in as many miles as possible before the storm hits. It took me an hour and 3 minutes, so 9 minute miles. It felt good. I went from my house down to xcel, then acroos to cottonwood mall, then up to rite aid and back home.

I went for 6 miles. My car got stuck at work last night so I ran to work to pick it up. It was a nice run but there was alot of snow on the side walks and on the sides of the road so I had to run in the streets. I also did a Bikram Yoga class today.

Today's run was really hard. I felt very sluggish and it was pretty windy. I went 9.5 miles, so it was my long run for the week. I don't think I ate properly before hand. My legs felt fine though.

I went for 6.5 miles. I felt really sluggish again today. My  pace ended up being 9:45 which was actually faster than what I thought I was going so that was good. I went from my house up to wasatch around to Porcupine grill and back through old mill. I had to add some laps around the parks to make it long enough. I got my miles for the week, so I'll be able to use tomorrow as a cross train day. After my run I did toe taps, calf raises, lunges, push-ups, and sit-ups.

Today was my cross train day. I did an hour on the bike, then toe taps, calf raises, lunges, push-ups, and sit-ups.

I did a bikram yoga class, then went for a short run 1.5 miles. There wasn't much time before work. I felt good.

I'm back in Arizona. I went for a 6 mile run along the canal. I went out 3 miles and back. On the way back I did 10x1 minute on 1 minute off. My time was 52:40, so 8:45 pace. I felt pretty good. Then I did some toe taps because my shins hurt a little bit. It's very hot here so that will take a couple of days to get used to.

Went just over 6 miles on the canal trail. I did the first 1.8 with Paul and then the rest on my own. It was 90 while I was running. My garmin kept loosing signal and turning off so that was frustrating and I don't know my time.

I went for my long run today. I went 5 miles out and back on the trail along the canal. It was really hot. At the half way point I took a gu and got some water. I felt much better on the way back. My legs felt good.

Went a little over 3 miles. I felt good but it was so hot outside.

Jogged about a mile warm-up. I wanted to use this race as a starting point so I could see where I was. It was 4 miles and I ran in my trainers. There weren't too many people in the race and it was rolling hills throughout the whole thing. It took me 28:38 so 7:10 pace. I felt good. After the race I did 1.5 miles of cooldown. Then when I got back to the house I did 2 miles with paul.

I meant to go 10 miles but I found out after it was only 9. My right quad was hurting quite a bit. It's been hurting for a few days so it's making me kind of nervous. Other than that I felt good.

It was rainy today and about 60 degrees. It felt good to run in. I went 6.5. I did the first 2 with Paul. My leg only hurt a little bit so that was good.

I did 6.5 miles again. The first 2 were with Paul. My leg has still been hurting and is making me nervous. Maybe I should do a few days of cross training. My knee on the same leg has been popping non-stop. It doesn't hurt and is just a nuisance but I wonder if it's related or just coincidence.
