| I was a little unsure how my knee would feel today. I scraped last night and it was feeling better but was not quite sure how it would respond to running. It ended up being a little twingy but felt better as the run progressed. We stayed on flat ground today and once we got going it ended up being a pretty good run. I had two "fast" miles and was feeling really good. With about .25 left to go of the second mile I had an encounter with a big dog. I had forgotten my pepper spray and so I stood there and walked slowly until his owner came and got him. Finished up the mile and then took it easy home. I have got to stop napping on Sundays. I look forward to it all week long but then I cannot sleep on Sunday nights. It took me forever last night to fall asleep and then I still wake up all night long.

Absolutely horrible!! I woke up not feeling 100% and should have taken that for a sign and gone back to bed. My legs were okay, I think it is more my shoes at this point than anything, but my new ones still have not arrived. I could not get my rhythm at all. It was such a struggle to move and try to run. We ended up calling it an easy day because no matter how hard I tried it would not work. More to try tomorrow PM - Headed back out to redeem myself and "climb back on the horse" as they say. So much better! I am always amazed at how much faster I am at nights. I refilled my "mom cup" and my "running cup." Two lessons learned: I need to warm up more/wake up earlier, 10 min before I leave is not enough. #2 I miss my Mizuno shoes (I ran in an old pair) - Came home and ordered more. Ave pace for the 3 miles 8:13.

| I slept in today. I have been extremely sleep deprived the last few weeks and after yesterday morning, I know it is affecting my running. I might try to get a few easy miles in later in the day, but no pressure because my body needs some rest. Happy Running! | | Comments(4) |

| I went out today and met up with the South Jordan group, Chery, Peggy, Cheris, Lynette and a couple of others. It was a great run. We drove out about 6 miles and then ran back on a gentle down hill and then added on some hills at the end. It was great to visit and get to know them a little better and the running was great - nice to push hard. Ave Pace 8:10 Happy Running! | | Comments(4) |

| Nice easy solo run today. I had a hard time keeping my pace to easy today, way to much in the 8's. Not a bad problem to have, but with my long run tomorrow I would like fresh legs. The effort was easy and the knee was a little tight but not too bad. Now I get to spend the rest of my day with a little work, a lot of girls softball and moving out of my office.

I had lofty expectations for today. I had felt great on my last long run and was hoping for the same today, but as soon as we started I knew it would be different. I struggled getting going and finding my rhythm. We had to go early and because my daughter was in a softball tournament in Kaysville, I had to be a little creative to get it in. We ended up running down to Main street and then up Main, over to Pioneer Park and then up to Beck street into Bountiful and at that point I would meet my husband and then go to the games. Paula stuck with me until we got downtown and then her husband came and got her. After about 6 miles I alternated feeling great with feeling crappy. I made it to 15.5 miles and my husband came to pick me up. We headed to the ballfields and I finished up to 18 for the day running around the park while I watched the game. Most of the run was flat or up hill, there were only a couple of down hill sections - one at mile 5 and then two short sections on Beck street. So while I felt crappy off and on, I know that I ran a tough route and my pace was much better than two weeks ago. At this point I am not quite sure what I am going to do regarding Top of Utah. I was really hoping to feel great and know that I would be okay and today has created more doubt in my mind. On the positive - I just went back and looked at my training and this is my highest mileage week ever - YEAH!!!
