Stronger, Tougher, Faster, Smaller

Well at least when I do a new little route I am never shorting my miles and end up with a little extra. 6.4 miles in 1:18 (12:17 avg) not too bad. Ran 2.5 miles with lisa and had fun chatting. Mile 3 had a potty stop. Whenever I think about running I dread it but then I go do it and it feel good and I don't mind it.

Weight change: none (okay not true it was +.2 but I consider insignificant and therefore doesn't count-because the potty stop happened AFTER I weighed in)

 1.5 in the afternoon with the kids in the stroller.  Had a great time at the park.  Also, this is so exciting......I put on my first pair of skinny pants :)  I have much skinnier pants I will work my way into but I've made my first step.  They fit just right with even a bit of give yeah!
 

Okay, somehow I managed to gain two pounds since yesterday.  I don't get it and I hate scales.  Maybe the cookies from this weekend finally caught up to me?

Well ran out to lake park, then out and around discover card turned around and came home.  I had a hard time loosening up.  Not really sore just slow.

miles 13:20, 12:48, 12:22, 11:52, can you tell I am starting to feel good.  This next mile was really slow because I sprinted up the hills and the walked to the next hill to sprint up it.(Max speed 6:13)  Almost lost my tummy on one of them, but I guess that is why they call them hill kills.  So mile 5 was 14:03, and 6 was 12:25. 

Oh and when I got home, I found out, I um, *blush*, had put my underwear on inside out! 

PM, 1.8 miles with kids in stroller to the park, to a friends and then home. 

Oh what a beautiful morn--ing, oh what a beautiful day.  I've got a beautiful feeling everythings going my way.

 Oh what I great day I have had already.  I drove out to the west side and ran with Leslie on a trail in Millcreek canyon.  I've never really run on a trail before, and now I have, gasp, dirty feet! It was a blast.  It was slow, it was cool, it was scenic, it was quite, there was no exhaust, there was shade.  Honestly I don't think it could have been any better.

Thanks Leslie for letting me come with you it was a great morning :) 

Goose egg.  Haven't had one of these in a while.  This isn't going to be high mileage week for me......that sore throat I had broke out in sores this morning and breathing kinda hurt, so I just rested up some.

Feeling better today, but still couldn't get up in the morning so I bagged the running and just got ready for the Creatures of the Night ride.  We rode our bikes over 22 miles from the Marina in Antelope Island to the ranch and back and oh my goodness.  It was a hard ride.  I guess I am pretty inexperienced in riding, just like I used to think all walking was not allowed in a race I found there were lots of people who would push there bikes up a hill.

We one 3rd place in the costume contest.  They like my mosquito helmet, and my husbands red outfit with a cape emblazoned with O+.  My children dressed up like a witch and batman.  They did really good.  On the way back to the marina we had a really strong headwind it was very discouraging and we ended up walking up the last really really big hill.  Plus the stroller with kids my husband was hauling was acting like a parachute to him. Also I was dying to get off my bum, it hurt so bad, I am not used to that yet.

We got to my aunt's house around 2a.m. and were beat. 

Okay, nothing so far.  Getting to my aunt's at 2 am was pretty tough and I have had a bad week. (Cold sore from my angelina jolie lips migrated to my throat but are going away)  We didn't get home until about noon today.  

Kids are asleep in my room but I am going to get about 4 miles in on the treadmill tonight.
