I think I got a little too excited yesterday about how good my legs felt. I was ready to sign up for 5 half marathons.

Today I had plans to run 2 miles. Got to the end of one and my knee was hurting again. bummer. So I guess I'll cross train the next couple of days and try running again maybe on friday.

Walked on steep incline & jogged a little more to get me to 2.5 miles

Today is only Wednesday?! Thought it was Thursday, wish it was Friday.

45 minute Spin class. 

Last night we went to Cafe Paesan to get their amazing deal- buy a drink get a meal free. Can't beat that. I ate a big salad,it was yummy.  But this morning during my workout, it felt like I had eaten the salad 10 minutes before I started rather than 10 hours before. wierd. Guess that italian food doesn't digest. Or maybe it's because I ate A LOT of it. Either way I wanted to throw up all over the instructor.

Ran a quick mile in 8:49. Prob the fastest I've done post preggers.  Legs felt good. Would have done more but my friend was saving me a spot in Strength class.  Still sore from Saturday and will be more sore after today's class. So many lunges.

Warmed up .25, ran 1.30 without stopping at 8:40 pace, Walked for a while on 15 incline, then ran another .7 to get me to 2 miles then walked  more.  I lose track of how long I did everything.  Just tried to get to atleast 2 miles running today.

 

There was a girl next to me who was so skinny.  She was just ran 5.5 miles on 7.9 speed like it was no big deal.  Reminded me of Merri.  I was passing out on my TM, holding onto the edges, the top, and dripping sweat.

Warmed up, ran 1.5 without stopping. Stepped off for a short break and then ran to 2 miles.  Walked the rest to get me to 3.

 

If I can do 3-4 on Saturday, I am still considering the Thanksgiving point half. But maybe I should look more for a 10k that weekend... decisions decisions.

Also think I'll do Utah Valley Half.

I was/am really tired today. I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 7, you'd think I would feel great. 

Warmed up, ran 2- this was not an easy task. It was hard today and my legs felt so tired.  Then cooled down and walked to get me to 3 miles. 

Then I went to an hour strength class- again so tired.

Then went outside and ran around the track once  (1/2 mile) and walked around one more (1/2 mile). 

So I ended with 4.  It wasn't pretty or fast but I made it to 4 & that was my goal.  This would be the first week of my half marathon training for Thanksgiving point and 4 was what I needed for my Saturday run.  I'm just going to keep training for it and if I get to the point where the miles aren't so much walking I will sign up for it.

Warmed up, ran 2, walked .5, ran .5 to end at 3.25.

 2 Miles in 17:20

Thought my legs would feel better since I hadn't used them since Wednesday.  But it was the opposite effect.  Ankles were hurting again like they did a month ago.

On a happier note, I went to the gym despite my gym buddy not going with me.  I've done this a couple times now. It's an accomplishment because really I just want to go back to sleep when she cancels.

Ran this hardly stopped once.  However my ankles & feet feel broken still/again.  The were really stiff at the beginning and it felt alright when I got warmed up. But then when I took my little break, my ankles freaked when I jumped back on and it took a second to get them calmed down.  Then after I finished I could barely walk on them out of the gym. Why is my body sucking right now?  Think I'll just do strenghth tomorrow and see how that goes.

2 in 17:28.  .5 in slow.

 My gym buddy is still sick.  I totally underestimated how hard it would be going at 5 a.m. by myself.  Wanted so much to sleep in again today.  Glad I didn't.

Ankles felt okay today.  Still hurt but not as bad as last Tuesday.  Might sound silly but I'm actually going to switch my socks and see if that helps.  When I bought my shoes I also got "special" running Asics socks.  They're so cute & comfy but they're tight around my arch and ankle and other wierd parts of my foot that regular socks aren't. And all this ankle, foot business started with the new shoes/socks.  So maybe this will help :)

1 Mile then 1/2 hour strength class. I wish I could spend more time there in the mornings.  I would have run more.  But it's usually 10 after 5 by the time I get there an I have to leave at 6. Oh well. I'll run more tomorrow. Still have broken ankles but I think they just need strengthened.  Or run over by a car. Either way.
