Here we go again~

AM: So, my Heidi W friend got a bad case of the stomach Flu and wasn't able to run this morning :( and Heidi C has graciously decided to run with a fellow neighbor on Monday Mornings (later in the day) so I was flying solo this morning :(.  With that being said, do you think I got out of bed.................???? Yes, actually I did, just very late.  So, I was only able to do about 25 minutes of the 57 minute Physique 57.  I will finish it later tonight :)

PM: Finished the 57 minute Physique 57 video and then ran 3 miles on the treadmill. I really, REALLY, wanted to go farther but the clock was ticking and taking too much time of my night so I stopped at 3.  At least I got 3 in :).  Ran at 7.3 (8:13 pace).  Felt really good!!!

Full 57 minute Physique this morning with Heidi C.  Good workout :)

A little sore this morning from 2 days of Physique but so nice to get out and run!! It was CHILLY this morning.  It seemed colder then it has been but silly me didn't watch the weather to confirm that actual temperature.  Cute Heidi W came out this morning after a bad bout of the stomach flu so we just took it easy in an attempt to get her back into the swing of things.  Ran nice slow miles and walked here and there when she needed to.  She was actually going to stop at 5 miles and then I planned to run at least 1-2 more a little quicker but she started feeling better and wanted to run one more so we stuck together and got one last mile in.  First 5 miles were at a 9:00 pace but we managed to kick the last mile out at 8:36.  Fun morning!!

Slept in again........SNAP~!!!! Why am I so tired lately??? So, just got in 30 minutes of Physique 57!!  Better then nothing :)

So, Spring brings Soccer games and soccer games bring Early Saturday Mornings so....I had to go on my long run this morning. A HUGE thanks to Heidi W for agreeing to go with me! We basically just ran out 8 and back so it seemed to go fast.  We also got some good hills in there to help challenge me a bit in that department. We got a bit of snow, some sprinklings of rain and sun all during the run (gotta love Utah)!! It was a fun morning! Thanks to Tyler for setting out water and for allowing me to have a late morning, oh, and for all of the fun Birthday presents when I got home!! He spoiled me :)

So, the soccer games began today which meant early morning preperations to get there on time.  Hence, no working out!!  However, I had a window of time before a family party so I decided to go for a run in the afternoon.  I originally just planned on going New Leaf route (6.5) miles but got running and felt pretty good at 2-3 miles so I decided to attempt HARRY'S HILL (da da da, the dreaded hill) for the first time this year!! As I got going up I really wanted to stop and walk  but visions of the Boston Marathon kept dancing (not literally) in  my head and I told myself "you can not quit, you are running the Boston marathon in 3 weeks for Pete's sake"...........so, slowly but surely I made it all the way upwithout stopping, HOORAY!! I then decided to challenge myself further and trecked up Woodland Hills drive (another hill part) to see how I felt, etc.  As I started heading back down the other side of the hill toward home, I honestly felt the BEST I have felt in a LONG LONG time!! I was on cloud 9. I think I could run every afternoon, if only my life allowed it!! I actually forgot my watch also so I have no idea on pace but I felt fast and strong and invincible (yah, I could get used to this).  Too bad it had to end and too bad I didn't have my watch to tell me the truth about my pace (maybe that is a good thing actually).  Very nice to get out on a Saturday afternoon!!!

Estimates: 8:30-8:45 (first 2 1/2 miles) 9:45-10:00 up Harry's Hill, 7:00-7:45 last few miles back home :)
