It was so nice to go out at 6am and run in a tank top.  I'm sorry for all you guys up in Cache and Salt Lake Valleys who have it so rough right now. 

I've been taking it easy lately because I feel like I still need to recover some from my marathon.  The problem is it's Christmas.  I've been eating way too much.  I'm too embarrassed to post my weight.  Let's just say, I'm above 200 :(

Time  27:01 (avg. pace 9:00)

Splits - 8:53, 9:05, 9:03

Oh, BTW (that means by the way.)  If anyone remembers Camille, she just had her 2nd baby on Christmas Day.  Send her a congrats.

I've been really impressed lately with the cross training Eightkidmom has been having to do because of her injured back.  She recently started water running.

I don't think she's doing it right.

What a way to start out the new year.  Nothing too fancy.  Nothing too long.  My last two runs have only been 3 miles each.  I'm glad I decided to go longer today, because it wasn't until after 3 miles that my shins began to loosen up.  

Time - 47:46 (avg. pace 8:30)

Splits - 8:17, 8:28, 8:24, 8:33, 8:49, 5:16 for 0.62 (8:28 pace)

And what would the start of a new year be without me giving props out to my fellow bloggers?  Let's hear it for Lyns who just this last week learned she would be cast in the Michael Bank's workout DVD.  She's also been quoted as saying, "I am a different person after a workout."  She's right.

Today I went running with my Ragnar team at Tempe Town Lake.  We went once around the lake which was about 4.8 miles, but I wanted to get at least 6 miles so I kept going and turned around.  We started out running comfortable together for the first 2 miles.  Then three of us started to pick it up a little while the other two stayed back.  (The whole team didn't come.)

Time - 53:05 (avg. pace 8:41)

Splits - 9:08, 9:08, 8:27, 8:33, 8:42, 8:10, 0:59 for 0.11 (8:33 pace)

I've been trying to get new blogger Coach Cara to make a blog entry.  All I've got out of her so far is this YouTube video showing  her alter egos.  After seeing what a goof she is, I think she's going to fit in nicely with this blog.
