Ran with Paula this morning.  Felt pretty good but I could tell I was still tired.  Both knees were twingy so I need more stretching and work on my quads.

Met the BBK's today. There was lots of snow on the JRP and at 13 degrees so the pace was slow.  Quite possibly my slowest pace ever with them.  We warmed up and then did hill repeats on a new hill Cheryl found us.  It was a good workout but slowed down due to the elements.  I had to leave early again :(

Happy Running!

Ran with Paula this morning.  We ran a route we haven't run in quite some time.  It is 3.5 miles on a gradual uphill and then 3.5 back down.  Left knee (IT band) felt good but now I have a new pain in my right knee.........getting frustrated.

Met the BBK for the extra mileage work out and we got a preview of the "real" workout.  It was up hill, down hill, up hill, down hill...... While hills are something I need to work on, staying healthy and not further aggravating my knees is more important.  I rebelled and recruited Kelli for a less hilly run.  Scott came along to keep us safe and we ran on 13 west.  I feel bad for missing the work out but my legs are very, very grateful!

I was nervous leading up to today because my knees had been bothering me all week.  After the drive to SG, my hips were tight and really beginning to ache.  Dusty, my sweet sister in law, worked on my hips and VOILA - no pain!

Marcie and I met at my parents and ran to catch the buses up to the start.  We ran 3.38 for our warm up.  We were going to try to stay together but got separated right after the start.   I was on my own and it took me a couple of mile to get my rhythm but I ended up feeling really good.  I was unsure of the last half of the race becuase the route was different than when I ran it 2 yrs ago, so I ended up holding back a little because I was unsure of the last 2 miles.   I finished with a time of 47.14 which is a PR.  It is 1 min faster than my DesNews 10k in 2008 and 5 min faster than my Spectrum 10K in 2007.   I am very happy with my time, but I need to get over my mental block of pushing hard because I could have done better.  I am extremely happy that I felt great and I am ready to finish training for Boston.
