I'm A Wogger

Sarah paced me and I obviously did a lot better than I thought I could. ran 10:05 for the first mile slowed down on the 2nd mile and picked it up for the 3rd.  the only down side is I have to set a much higher standered for the next race.  I have been suffering from a headache today so I have been drinking gatorade. Vile stuff.  my husband suggested I drink pickle juice, then I won't think sports drinks are so vile.  I deciced to pass on his suggestion.  Thanks a lot sarah for pacing me but not pushing me.  It was a good experience.

SLow, painful jog with the stroller.  Sasha and Sarah were saying I should change my name from wogger but I proved today that I am still worthy of that title.  Maybe someday in the future I can ran a 5 k with killing myself but that day is not yet here.

averaged about 14 min. miles brtween provo trail near reams and the mouth of the canyon.  Pretty flat terrain so I hope I didn't kill my back.  My shins were feeling better this morning so I decided to put them right back in the shape they were yesterday.  I must enjoy limping around the house.  Oh well as my husband says if your legs don't hurt you're not pushing very hard.  I just hope this will aventually be worth it.  I have stalled out on weight loss for the past 3 weeks.  I suppose that is what is behind my insane pushing it hard.

I was having one of those days.  You know, the why do I bother and do I really care if I work out days.  I forced myself to do a recovery walk on the trail.  I might have gone further on my stroll but I was not highly motivated and I really needed to go wee.  There are no bathrooms on that part of the trail and I am not the kind of girl who crawls through the brush to find a secluded spot. 

Started out from Rock Canyon school and went to Riverwoods along University avenue and back to the school.  Jogged most of the way.  Had to walk a little 3 times.  Averaged just under 13 minute miles.  Not too shabby for pushing a stroller.  The last mile is slightly up hill and I had to push myself to not let up the pace.

Jogged 6 miles on the trail without stopping.  Despite not having the stroller today the best I could do was about 13:10 average.  I guess I pushed it too hard yesterday and had no real speed left.  I was just glad that I didn't have to walk.  Armyrunner past me on the trail going well over twice as fast and well over twice as far.  Oh well if I think about haw well the rest of my family runs I'd never set foot on the trail again but I keep telling myself that I am doing this so I can feel better about myself and so I can hike timpanogos(I really need to learn how to spell that) next year without killing myself.
