Nothing today I wanted to do 16 but had an unexpected babysitting job.  My daughter-in-law got a  shift at work so I had to watch my grandson from 5:00am until 12:00pm

This race is so much fun and totally not about running but about being with my family.  I did want to do better this year over last year and I did.  I had a 30 second PR over last year.  However last year I got 3rd Place and this year I got 4th.  Not sure why that bothers me but it does!  I have not been able to see the results on line so I am wondering what time they have me down for.  

Splits: 7:49, 8:20, 7:32  

I really need to do that hill mile faster!

Only three easy miles so far with my husband.  I got up too late and it is hot I think I will run more when the sun goes down and "train" for the Wasatch Back!

5.5 miles with Heidi and then 3.5 threshold miles on my own.  Garmin issues again so I don't have all the splits.  

Splits: 9:34, 9:27, 9:21, 9:24, 9:33, 8:35, 8:19, 8:15

I think my last mile was the fastest but I turned my watch off at a stop sign and didn't turn it back on.

5 miles on the treadmill had to miss spin to take my daughter to traffic court,  I don't think she understands the sacrifice I just made!

Heidi text me early this morning saying that she couldn't make it.  I have not run alone for a long time.  I used to run alone all the time but today it weird to not have somebody to talk to.

Last night was my sons 19th birthday party, I ate cake, candy, soda with sugar in it, and Panda Express fried greasy food and today I had the best run I have had in a long time!!!!!  So much for ever eating healthy food again!

4 easy miles with Heidi and then 6 marathon pace miles except for the fact that I cant run even pacing the run felt very good.  I really need to run more marathon pace miles and really try hard to stay right on pace.

Splits: 9:26, 9:34, 10:15, 10:03, 8:15, 8:06, 8:19, 8:14, 8:36

When looking and these splits they don't seem too bad until you know the pace I was shooting for is 8:34...didn't quit hit it did I!!!!!

Now for the best news of all!!!!!

My son got his Mission call to:

Texas Houston South Mandrain Speaking!

Wasatch back leg six.  I finally beat this leg!  I felt very strong at the end and yet I had given it all I had.  I forgot to turn my watch on as I was already running.  A van had got stuck in the mud and it was faster just to walk up to the exchange than to wait for our van to arrive. 

Splits for the miles that my watch was on: 9:37, 9:00, 8:06, 8:30, 8:43, 8:34, 7:06 (.80)

Leg 18 Wasatch back.  I have always loved this run.  It is in the dark and I always seem to do well on the up hill runs.  I passed 42 people on this run.  I worked really hard and I have paid for it the past three days my legs are killing me!

Splits: 8:33,  8:52, 9:16, 9:09, 9:14, 8:50, 11:20 (steep up hill) 9:48

Later in the day I did leg 30 my legs were so sore I couldn't even walk.  The splits on this leg are really slow but they were all I could do.

splits:9:23, 9:26, 8:51

13 miles, the route I ran is mostly down hill for 6.5 miles and then up hill for 6.5 with a huge hill right at the end.  The goals for this run were: 1) finish in good enough shape to do speed work on Monday. 2) finish in under 2 hours and 3) fuel well during the run.

To accomplish goal one I wanted to keep most of my miles around a 9:13 pace but if I felt great on the down hill I could speed up.  That way I could accomplish goal two.  Finally to accomplish goal three I walked and ate one power bar chew and drank, every two miles after three mile.  Just like aid stations.  This is why the even miles are a little slower than the odd.  I have found that this keeps me fueled up without giving me a tummy ache.

I did it I made all my goals!!!

Splits: 9:02, 8:46, 8:37, 8:46, 8:42, 9:00, 9:06, (starting to go up hill now) 9:14, 8:28, 9:31, 9:05, 9:37, 11:17 (walked most of the big hill)

Today called for 10 miles with 5 at half marathon pace.  I really pushed the first 5 miles.  At the turn around when I started to slow down my left calf  started to cramp up.  I would walk until it released and then run again.  I wanted the last 5 to be slow but not that slow.  Finally after mile 8 the cramping started to go away.  I walked the big hill up to my house.

Splits:8:32, 8:12, 7:52, 8:12, 8:35, 9:07,  9:33, 9:21, 9:06, 12:10
