Winner in training

Run with Tara. Push the last mile. Sprint to the end.

Run with Carla and Trent.

Had a sprint race in the middle of the run and my max pace was 4:05!

I started out my run this morning on my own then I ran into some friends! I always say "hi" to people I pass by and recognized Carla's jacket form a distance. I called out Carla and Kay's names and ran over to join them. It was such a nice surprise. Especially because I wasn't planning on running this morning.

Awesome kick butt run with Tara! (Better Tara?) We got to talk and catch up on things. It's so nice running with someone else. It felt like a progressive run but looking at my watch it really wasn't. We ran faster the last 1/4 mile then sprint to the end again. My max pace was 4:46. Not quiet as fast as the 4:05 I got thursday but still super fast to me. Plus I ran more miles before this time.

I need to start running in the morning. It's so hard for me to get up when it's dark and cold outside. I don't like to run by myself in the dark but I just need to do it and get used to it. I also realized I need to get warmer running clothes. It's getting COLD!

I went to the gym tonight. After running I did a couple of weights and some much needed ab exercises.

I was kind of dreading going running by myself this morning, but it turned out to be a great run. I was able to keep a 8:25 pace and still managed to sprint to the end. The sprint wasn't fast at all but faster then my average pace. Got some good news today and had a great day!

Met Tara at the gym tonight and ran in the tread mill.

I met up with my friend Erin at 5:40 and then Carla at 6:30. It was nice to get up and get a run in and get it done. Felt good all day and got stuff done. It was cold but if I kept running it wasn't to bad.

James and ran in the Smithfield turkey trot last year and decided to do it again this year. It was poring rain! We were soaked before we even started the race. About mile 3 it started snowing off and on and ended with lots more rain. I don't mind running in the rain when I can go home right when I am done, shower, and change into dry clothes. We were so cold and wet that it was miserable waiting around for the results. We eventually took off and didn't get our ribbons for placing in our age division. I was a little sore I gues but felt really good after. Just really cold.

I was going to meet up with Erin this morning but she wasn't felling well and had to cancel. I decided to be a good girl and go running by myself. Oh my those 4 miles I went were sooooooo hard. I don't know what my deal was. I could not get myself moving. It took me 50 min to go 4 miles. I met up with Carla about 6:30 and managed 2.5 miles in 30 min. Not much better. I am going to put the blame on the rainy turkey trot race. I was really sore after too.

We are in Nabraska now with family. Chrissy, Becca and I went for a run this morning. It was a chilly 18 degrees. We just look it slow and got to catch with each other. Now for the turkey dinner! Happy Thanksgiving!

Running with Becca and Chrissy again. We went a little longer and faster today. It wasn't as cold as yesterday.

Another run with Becca and Chrissy. Its the last one with them for awhile. We will be driving all day back to Ut tomorrrow.
