| Location: So. Jordan,UT,USA Member Since: May 12, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Marathon Finish Running Accomplishments: St.George marathon 2009 - 3:34:07. It was a PR on my 11th time running St. George.
Short-Term Running Goals: Run St. George in under 3:30; be in the top 3 in my age group Long-Term Running Goals: Stay strong, run well for many more years. Still set PR's in my 50's.
Learn how to run more relaxed and efficient. Personal: I'm married with four children. I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays. I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years. One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless. I hope this won't take too many years to achieve! |

| | Just an easy run/walk on the treadmill, then a few faster things. Nothing too spectacular, but I got a workout in. | | Comments(1) |

We met at Bingham with the plan to do a track workout. After a warm-up, we looked around and just about everyone had left the track. Most of them had run Boston and were still a little sore, so I understand not wanting to do track. I really didn't want to do the track either, mainly because I've been feeling sluggish running lately and just prefer to run fairly slow and easy. More on that below. Anyway, a few of us stayed. Some, I think Walter and Rachel, actually did the planned workout. Lisa and Lynette did a lot of it, they just had to leave early. Peggy did a little, but she had to leave early also. I ended up just running some 400's. My best time was 1:41, the others were 1:45 and a few 1:48's.
The reason I didn't feel very well today and was unable to do the workout is because my thyroid is still high--in fact, higher than it's been in quite a while. Supposedly my thyroid has been killed or is in the process of dying, so why am I still high?? And not only high, but higher than it was before I did radioactive iodine? I'm seeing the doc tomorrow, so hopefully he'll explain what's going on. This is getting old!!

| | Not a lot today, obviously. Just wasn't feeling it. | | Add Comment |
| | The group met by Daybreak today. Smaller group. It was nice being able to talk with just about everybody. I actually felt pretty good today, maybe because I did very little yesterday. We ran two almost two mile loops. The first I did in 8:19 avg. pace. Then the second was 8:30 avg. pace. The best news is that I hardly felt sick today. Hope that means things are getting better. We'll see how it goes the next few days. | | Add Comment |
| | I walked/ran for 30 minutes at a slow, comfortable pace. Then I ran some more at a faster pace. Good news again--did not feel that sick after the run, just a little. Are things finally kicking in? | | Comments(4) |
| | I got in a quick workout this morning on the treadmill, then I went to a baptism, then to do Saturday chores. I was worried that I wouldn't get any more working out in, then my son asked to go to the pool, so lucky me, I figured I'd pool run while he swam. First I went upstairs at the Rec Center and did a little stair climbing and running on the indoor track, then to the pool for pool running. It was really fun, I highly recommend it. | | Add Comment |
