Achy today. I kind of over did it--- planks and pushups yesterday afternoon and I awoke to a sore chest, upper arms and feet (I do them barefoot). I also have a bright red sunburn on my mid outer back out both sides. Quite tender. Made a hot shower not comfortable so it had to be lukewarm. I missed those spots when applying sunscreen before my 40 mile jaunt with Kim and Jane. I am so glad I did apply sunscreen. I would be in a whole heck of a lot more pain today!! I ran 2.5 miles to AF library then tried to figure out their 5k for the Run Of Remembrance Monday that my entire family is running. It is a free 5k and 10k (register online) and donations are certainly welcome to help the War Heroes. Of course I donated because my entire family is running it and it a good cause and a free race just doesn't seem right with a number on. I ran the 10k last year (after running a 10k two days earlier, my PR). It had snowed just a few hours before the race but was melted by the time we started. It was raining on and off too. I am not racing it. Just hanging with my kids. I have done NO SW for 10 weeks!!!!!!!! I am so out of shape!!! Oh about today's run. I ran a slightly of course 5k easy pace. Then another 2.5 miles home. 8:29 (2.5mi.), 8:15 (3.1), 8:11 (2.5 mi.). It was at least 30 degrees cooler today with a good headwind on the 5k course. I didn't feel the love today. Plan is to run 4 miles both Thurs and Fri before work (5am). Not sure how I will feel for Saturday.

PM: 4 miles easy (8:29AP) just felt like getting out there after I scraped my foot with my ice scraper for my car and caused a blisters because I didn't use lotion. I wasn't home yet and we (my husband and I) were out and about in our car. Totally reqret I didn't wait to get home to get some lotion. The scraper was in my glove compartment. ... "and the Seriously Stupid Award goes to Julie Crossley". It was cool and windy out there. And running 1 hour after eating two quesadillas and rice (homemade by my dear husband) made the run not as enjoyable as I thought it would be. I felt so great as I put on my shorts. Probably because my stomach was well nourished. Wasn't a time to get the notion to run. I was burping a lot. My stomach was ready to lose its contents. I ran now because I wanted to run in daylight and NOT have to go so early in the morning--- taking one day off and will run before work Friday am.

It's nice to see you out running again Julie. Even if for just a short, easy run. That adventure on the bike down Provo canyon seemed like fun, but not so much the sunburn. Good luck with the next two days.

thanks Rachel. I wasn't expecting 40 miles of a bike ride up and down the canyon so my body didn't rebel :D.

I am running the 10k on Monday Julie. My sister is running too, her first ever 10k (she's also 20 weeks pregnant). I will probably just use it as a tempo workout and then go back and run my sister in. I am really excited for her.

Me and my sister ran the 5k last year, I stayed with her the entire time. It was really short last year...like 2.88 or something?

Anyway I'm excited to see you Monday! Hopefully it wont be snowing this year. :)

you are?? YAY!! I ran it last year. I believe it was short as well. They didn't end it like the map says they are this year. We should give 26.2 running co. a call. I dislike SHORT courses. All the not so competitive runners think they all ran such awesome PRs and it BUGS me cause no one did!! including myself. Can't PR on a course that is not accurate. What about Saturday Rachelle?? and sorry for all the track fun on your blog but I am one to comment on that because I ran track-- 2 LAPS always has been 800 meters. btw I was NO track star by any means. I ran because my friends did. I was not fast at all. 2:41 was my fastest 800. And 5:59 was my fastest mile.

YEAH!!!! You are running, I am so happy! And it sounds like it is going pretty well, too. HAPPY DAYS!
