| I ran my final medium long run this morning with Cheris. Our average pace was 8:51. It's time to taper for Ogden. I'm getting excited. This will be my 7th marathon, but I still feel like I have so much to learn. I think the key to improving my marathon times is going to be adding more training miles before St. George. |

| What a perfect morning for a run. It is so nice to be able to get out the door without a coat and gloves on. I ran with my running group. We ran a 3 mile warm up. Then I ran 4 fast miles and a 1 mile cool down. I felt great. |

I drove to Ogden Friday night with 4 other ladies from our running group. We spent the night at the Ben Lomond hotel. It was nice to walk out the hotel door and get on the bus. Cheris and I started out together. The pace felt great. We were right where we wanted to be for the first 10 miles. At mile 10 we took a bathroom break. This put us about 2 minutes behind. At 17 miles we started a big downhill section. Cheris took off. She is a much better down hill runner than me. At mile 18 my stomach started to cramp up. I have always had bathroom issues on runs longer than 13 miles. Over the next 6 miles, I made 3 more bathroom stops. Other than my stomach issues, my body felt great until mile 24. The last 2 miles I was exhausted. Peggy and Michelle met me at mile 25 and paced me into the finish. They were a huge help. I felt better during this marathon than I ever have. My recovery has been great. I have had very little soreness. This race was a 12 minute PR for me. (Actually 13 minutes from the actual time on my Garmin.) And 39 minutes faster than I when I ran this marathon in 2006.

Cheris and I ran 5 easy recovery miles in 44 minutes. I don't have any soreness from the marathon. I'm looking forward to starting our training for the St. George marathon. We plan on running a lot more miles this time.

I ran three good sized hills, up and down. I have no problems on the uphills, but can tell I really hold back on the down. Average pace 8:45. |

| I had planned on running with my fun running group today. Last night my car broke down and had to be towed to the dealership. So I ended up running from home. The one nice thing about that was I got an extra 30 minutes of much needed sleep. I ran out 3.5 miles and back. It took me 33 minutes for the first half and 29 minutes to come back. Average speed 9:00 miles. |

I went into this race not really knowing what time to expect. I had been having shin pain and my left ankle had hurt all week. The morning of the race, the pain was gone. This was a very small race. Within a few minutes I passed several people who started out too fast. I ended up being the first female finisher and about 6th place overall. I'm jealous of all you fast people who get to finish in the front of the big races. It was such a great feeling. My husband also had a great race. He hasn't been running much, and still came in 2nd place overall with a time of 19:35. This was a PR for me. |

This was a really fun race. When I got there, I did an easy 2 mile warm up. I was really hoping to place in my age group. I knew I had a chance with most of my running group running the Wasatch Back relay. I ran the first mile in 7:25, the second in 7:24, and the third in 7:12. I gave it everything I had. I was trailing behind a lady for the first 2.5 miles. When we turned onto the final stretch, I passed her. That was my goal from the beginning. I didn't get passed after the first mile. I think the only girls to beat me were a lot younger. After the race I ran an easy 2 miles. I got a medal and a $10 gift card to Wasatch Running. |

My son woke me up at 12:30 this morning to let me know he had thown up all over his bed. Two hours later, I finally got back to sleep. It was so hard to get up when the alarm went off. I met the group at South Jordan park. We ran a 2.6 mile warm up. Average pace 9:57. Then we ran our reverse 5k route. I really pushed it and ran it in 23:19. Average pace 7:30.

I ran from home down to the trail. I planned on turning back at mile 5 but decided to run the extra mile to the bathroom at mile 6. It was a good run. I tried to take it really easy. I saw a beaver and a snake. It's fun to not worry about a specific time and enjoy the scenery. There were lots of runners and bikers out today. Out in 56 minutes - Back in 52 minutes.

This was a PR by almost 3 minutes at this same race last year. Several of us from the running group met at 5:45 to help with the registrations. I was a little worried that we wouldn't get to warm up before the race. It turned out ok. I couldn't see Michelle M. or Cheris at the start. I started out with Lynette and Michelle N. My mile splits were 7:17, 7:20, 7:26, 7:41, 7:48, 7:21 and 6:41 for the final .20. It was fun to see so many familiar faces. Our running group did great. Peggy took 1st, Lynette took 3rd, and Jessica took 4th place overall. In my age group, Michelle M. took 1st, I took 2nd and Cheris took 3rd. (That is if you don't count Peggy and the 2nd place overall female in our age group.) Cheryl, Nancy, Debbie and Michelle N. placed in their age groups as well. Michelle M. came flying past me in the last mile. It makes me wonder if I had started out slower could I have finished faster? My husband Jerry did great and finished in 41 minutes. It was very windy and hot. This race is not the easiest so I am very happy with my time. |

| I ran with Michelle N. and her brother C.J. We started at my house and went down to the trail. It was great running weather. I felt good. I love that I am able to run up the hills without having to stop. I still have not figured out how to run faster on the downhills. I have been following Sasha's advice on how to train to qualify for Boston. So far so good. My average pace for this run was 8:47. That seems to be the pace for most of my easy paced runs. |

| Met with about 8 others from the group. We ran up 9800 S. to Glenmoor Village and back. I ran with Cheris, Michelle M. and Cheryl. I was sick all day Sunday, so I didn't have a whole lot of energy. Then I rolled my left ankle on the way back. The good news is I didn't fall this time. After walking on it for a few minutes it felt ok. Average pace 9:08. I went to Lagoon later in the day. I didn't feel very well, so I ended just watching my kids go on the rides. |

I thought I had to rush home to get my daughter back to the high school for registration. Turns out she went with a friend. Which is nice because it gives me a chance to blog before I head off to work. |

So I ran the last 2 miles by myself. Then a few of us ran one more mile to cool down. Average for the last 4 miles 8:32. It was fun to have lots of new runners join us today. |

We went out 3 miles and back. Miles 14-17 felt hard. When we turned around at mile 17 I felt so much better. I think it is a mental thing for me. We pushed ourselves hard at the end. The last mile was 7:45. We finished in 2:46. Average pace 8:20. That was my fastest 20 miles ever. I came home and took an ice bath for 20 minutes. I feel really good.

I got up at 3:55 this morning. I drove down to race with Michelle N., Cheris, and Michelle M. Michelle and I lined up next to Jody at the start. We thought we were in a good position until everone on the last buses lined up right in front of us. The first mile was horrible. We could barely move and waisted lots of energy trying to get around slow runners. My garmin lost it's signal, so I'm not sure on my mile splits. The ones I remember were:
The first 5k about 22:40
10k in 44: something
10 miles in 1:11
I took gu at miles 3 and 10. I only had water at the aid stations.
My actual finish time from my watch was 1:34:56. Exactly 4 minutes faster than last year. Thanks Michelle for being there with me those last 3 miles. We did it. I am so excited. Sasha's prediction chart was right on from my Deseret News 10k time. That gives me some confidence for St. George.
Great job to all of you that ran today. Everyone we talked to did great.

| I thought it would be so great to sleep in until 6:30 and then run after my kids left for school. Not a good idea. I started at 9:00. About 1 1/2 miles out I was so dizzy and light headed I thought I might pass out. So I came back home and ate some sports beans. Then I drove down to the trail and ran another 7.5 miles. It was hot and boring and everything from my hips down kind of ached. I don't normally eat anything before I run. But today because of the late start I ate my oatmeal about 1 1/2 hours before I ran. I am looking forward to my day off from running tomorrow. |

| Michelle and I drove up to Draper to run Wasatch Blvd. It was soo windy there that we decided to come back to my house to run. We ran out to 11800 and made our way up Glenmoor. Then we ran on 4800 W. North to 7800 S. and back. It was very windy going South. I know that slowed us down quite a bit. Our Average pace was 8:42. We ran the last three miles close to marathon pace. One bathroom stop for me at mile 5. I felt pretty good. I had some pains in my feet. Gu at miles 7 and 14. |

I ran with Cheris, Jody, and Cheryl. It was a great recovery run. My legs are still a little tired from the 20 miler yesterday but not sore. Average pace 9:02. |

I met Angela, Peggy, Cheris and Michelle M. at 5:00 am so we could get in 3 extra miles before the big 3 x 5k workout. My legs were still heavy. Maybe everyone feels like this and I'm just a complainer. The first 3 miles we tried to take a little easier so Michelle N. could warm up a little.
3.1 miles in 25:05 (average pace 8:00) Sorry Michelle, not much of a warm up.
3.0 miles in 23:16 (average pace 7:43)
3.0 miles in 22:58 (average pace 7:36)
I had to run straight to my car to get home for my kids. So no cool down. I felt like it was a great work out. |

What a fun run today. Cheryl put together a little half marathon for our group. We had a great turn out of about 18 people. Michelle's husband Jared was our water boy. It was so nice to not have to carry our water. And I think it gave us something to look forward to. I warmed up for about 3 miles before we started. Then cooled down for .5 miles before rushing off to my son's football game.
The first 4 to 5 miles were mostly uphill. My miles splits were 8:28, 8:38, 9:03, 8:34, 7:59, 7:25, 7:38, 8:16, 7:09, 7:39, 7:24, 7:57, and 7:32. Overall time 1:44. (pace 7:59)
I ran mostly with Angela and Michelle. I felt pretty good the whole time. I think I may be sore tomorrow.

| I ran 8 miles on the treadmill this morning. I would much rather run outside, but I get nervous running alone now that it is so dark. I actually really enjoyed my run today. I watched 13 going on 30. I felt good and the time went by fast. Average pace 9:20 with a 1% incline. My right quad is still a little sore. At work today, I felt like I might be getting a sore throat. I better take my vitamins and get lots of rest. |

| Met the BBK group at Bingham. We ran a 2.5 mile warm up. Then about 1/2 of us went to the nice soft brand new Bingham track. Peggy had us run 4x600's, then 1x1200, then 2x600's all with a 400 recovery. Then I had to leave. I love the track. I should do that more often. I didn't really pay attention to my speed, but I felt like I pushed it pretty hard. I knew I was running the recovery parts too fast when I started chatching up to Peggy on them. Of course on the speed part, I was way behind her. I came home and got 2 kids off to school. Then I ran 1.5 more miles on the treadmill. |

Then I ran 4 more flat miles at a 9:00 min pace. This was a great workout. The time went by really fast. My average heart rate was 153. |

I ran 8 miles on the trail with Angela this morning. It was pitch black down there. I'm glad I had my little head light on. When I was putting my light over my head, the elastic snapped and smacked me in the nose. I have a nice little cut right accross my nose now. It was a good run. I didn't check my pace until we finished. Average pace 8:24. My hips are very sore from the downhill run yesterday.

I met Angela and Michelle at 5:00 at Albertsons in Draper. We ran on Wasatch Blvd, then one mile up Big Cottonwood Canyon and back. The first few miles (including the huge mile long hill) were harder today than usual. I've been feeling like I might get sick this past week. So I didn't feel 100%. I'm glad Michelle had her light. It was so dark. All in all it was a great run. I only had to make one bathroom stop at mile 9 and other than that my stomach felt great. Average pace 8:38. The last four miles were 8:11, 7:21, 7:45, and 7:56. I had to get to my son's football game, so I didn't get an ice bath.

The fourth 8:05 avg. My legs were so tired and heavy today. The pace felt fine, but I don't feel like I could have run much faster if I had wanted. I haven't slept well in a few weeks and it is catching up to me. |

My feet are sore. I really should have gotten new shoes before this run. For some reason, the toe box in the pink Asics 2130's are tighter than the blue ones. It was a good run. Hopefully this will be the last time I get up at 4:00 am until the marathon. Average pace 8:49. |

I'M GOING TO BOSTON!!!!! What a great day. I was hoping for a 3:30, but I am thrilled with my time. The weather was horrible. It was raining and there was a headwind for most of the race. Angela and I couldn't find Michelle N, Michelle M, or Cheris at the start. I was so bummed. I really wanted to start with them. We lined up near the 3:30 pace group, but it was so dark we lost them right after the start. I saw the girls on Veyo. I was so excited to see them. I took 2 bathroom breaks at just after the 5 mile mark and just before 13.
My splits were 8:29, 8:16, 7:51, 7:46, 7:55, 8:15, 7:28, 8:55, 8:31, 8:26, 8:38, 8:43, 8:25, 8:05, 7:45, 7:40, 7:57, 8:09, 8:41, 8:07, 7:43, 8:30, 8:20, 8:03, 8:46, 8:36 and 2:10.
My sister Angela was wonderful. Her only goal was to help me qualify for Boston. She had only been running 2 sometimes 3 times a week to train. She was able to stay with me until just after mile 23. I was so happy to have her with me that whole time. I ended up finishing about 2 minutes before her. Michelle caught up to me at mile 25 and she looked great. She really helped push me that last mile. I had a 1/2 a gu at mile 5, 1/2 a gu at mile 7, gu at 13, gu at 19, and then I had a Jolly Rancher at mile 22. I drank gatorade at the stops that I didn't gu. I didn't have anything to drink the last 4 miles. I never hit the wall. The extra miles in training made a huge difference.
Everyone from our running group did great. I feel so lucky to have such a great group of friends to run with.

Cheris picked me up and we met at Michelle M's house. We ran down to the Riverfront parking lot to meet the BBK's. I never really felt great. I really struggled to keep up. I kept hoping Jerry would come by and give me a ride home. He never did and I managed to finish the run.

I met Michelle at the gym for a treadmill run. I found the following workout that someone made on the internet. It is a Boston Marathon - Newton hills simulator run. This is my 4th time doing it. It's a tough workout. It does seem to get a little easier each time. I ran the first 10 miles of it. Some day I may do the whole thing.
Miles 1-3 at 9:00 pace
Key: Mile Marker - Incline % - Speed Setting - Pace per mile: 3.0-3.7 - 3% - 7.6 - 7:53 3.7-4.7 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 (my marathon goal pace) 4.7-5.0 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49 5.0-6.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 6.4-6.8 - 4% - 7.3 - 8:12 6.8-7.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 7.4-7.8 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49
"I did the hill schedule two times during the 20 mile run. The first time beginning at mile 3 and the last time at mile 15, when I knew it would really be a challenge. From mile 7.8-mile 15, I ran between an 8:12 and an 8:19 pace on 0% incline to simulate downhill as much as possible." This is what the hill workout looked like the 2nd time:
Key: Mile Marker - Incline % - Speed Setting - Pace per mile: 15.0-15.7 - 3% - 7.6 - 7:53 15.7-16.7 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 16.7-17.0 - 6% - 6.8 - 8:49 17.0-18.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 18.4-18.8 - 4% - 7.3 - 8:12 18.8-19.4 - 1% - 7.5 - 8:00 19.4-19.8 - 6% - 6.9 - 8:41 (I increased the speed a little to push it on this virtual "Heartbreak Hill." 19-8-20.0 - 1% - 7.6 to 7.7 - 7:49-7:53
