Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

Ran on my own today. Paula was going to go, but over slept - lucky her! It was good practice because I have not done a lot of that lately. I wanted get some down hill miles in preparation for SG, so I ran up for 4 miles and then down hill and flat for another 6. I had a hard time getting going on the down hill but finally got there.

I woke up so incredibly tired and really debated going out this morning, but new tired was better than regret/guilt.  I headed out to Bingham High and ran with the BBK today.  We warmed up for 2.5 and then divided into a track group and a road group.  I opted for the road group.  We ran 2.5 tempo miles and then ran another 1.5 in fartlek style work out. 

Once home walked the kids to school and then ran back.  I did not have it in me today to run up the hill to make it a mile, that stroller really takes it out of me! (pretty sad)  So only .65 extra.

8 easy miles today. I met Paula at 5:45 and we ran 6 together. She had speed going until she almost got hit by a car, I am so glad she is okay! Today was a recovery run for me, so nice easy run for the joy of running day. We finished at 6 miles and as I was heading home I realized that I still had 15 minutes before I needed to be home so I added on to make 8 for the day.

Ran with the BBK today.  We ran up Glenmore and back down. My goal for today's run was to average marathon pace.  I started out with a fast pace warm up during the up hill and my keys came unpinned from my shorts so I had to go back and find them.  I fell way behind the group so I had to work hard to catch up - this took a long time. I pushed as hard as I could up to the turn around and then started to really push the pace.  I caught the main group as we went back up the "big hill"  and then passed them at the top.  I continued to push the rest of the way down.  My 4 miles from the turn around were all in the mid to low 7's - YEAH!

Three very nice miles with Paula and Renee.  We didn't have much time because our junior high kids had volleyball early today.  Big day tomorrow!

Happy Runnin!

Cheris, Michelle and I did our 22 mile run today.  I have been scared and apprehensive about todays run.  We started out slow and then progressed through out the run.  It was very dark and we had a good head wind the first little bit but slowly the sun came up and finally the last third the wind was to our backs.  We had 1 bathroom break at mile 10 and took three GU's along the way.  I wanted to see how my body would handle three because I have never taken more than two.  I felt great the entire way today!  At the end I know I could have done more, this is so encouraging.  Today was the best I have felt after our 20 milers.  You never know what will happen on race day but this is a good sign that things are going well!
