Catch me if you can

Michelle M and Cheris were too sore from the race and wanted to take the day off. I didn't want to run outside alone so I ran on the treadmill. My legs felt a little tired but not too bad. Average pace 9:13.

Met the BBK's at the church on Tithing Hill.  Average pace 8:38.

Today was my older kids first day back to school.  I wanted to be there for them so I only got 3 easy treadmill miles.

I met the BBK's at a church on 10100 S. and 40th W. I warmed up for 15 minutes by myself. Then ran easy for another 30 minutes with the group. We then ran fast up and down the other side of the hill in front of the temple. We did that twice and then ran West on 10400 S. and finished back to the cars. It was a crazy morning. We almost got hit by bikers and then John twisted his ankle on a big rock and couldn't run. At about 9 miles I tripped over a board and landed hard on my side. I scrapped up my palm pretty bad. The worst part is how painful my right arm is. My wrist and my upper arm are very sore. I am such a klutz. I forgot to mention on Tuesday that I rolled both ankles one after the other. So my ankles are very stiff now too. My husband keeps telling me I'm falling apart. I think he's right. Average pace for the 10 miles was 8:35.

I decided to run between getting my kids off to school this morning.  I ran 3 miles and then came home and got my 16 year old off.  Then I ran 3 more miles and came home and got my 10 year old off.  Then I ran 4 miles before we had to drive my 14 year old to school.  It was nice breaking it up, but my knees hurt when I started back up the last time.  Average pace 9:13.  I ran into Cheris on my first run.  It was fun to run part of it with her.

I met up with several of the BBK's at Cheris' house at 5:00 this morning.  I misunderstood where Michelle N. wanted to meet this morning and she showed up at our Wasatch meeting place.  I felt really bad.  Luckily she found us about 3 miles into our run.  I felt really good today.  I wanted to push the pace the a little.  I ate a 1/2 a banana and piece of wheat toast with peanut butter before we started.  Then I had a gu at mile 5 and Gatorade at miles 10 and 15.   I also drank water.  The last mile was tough.  I think I would have done better with another gu.  I brought Clif Shots and they were nasty.  I usually use the Gu brand.  I couldn't stomach them after the first one.  My splits were 9:21, 9:07, 8:51, 8:45, 8:46, 9:15, 8:40, 8:11, 8:28, 8:11, 8:33, 8:04, 8:16, 7:58, 8:25, 8:42, 8:10, 8:02, 8:13 and 8:50.  Average pace 8:33.
