Let's do this!

I ran 3 miles today (yay!) and then I did the eliptical for a mile. Things are looking up I think!

3 miles on the eliptical and 4.60 miles running on the treadmill with Merri. My ankle is feeling a lot better. It's not all the way healed yet but getting there. I also lifted weights for the first time in like 3 weeks. Felt awesome!

Ran to the gym with Merri this morning 2.5 there. I did 3.75 on the eliptical (to give the ankle a break), then we ran home for another 2.5 miles. It feels so good to get the blood flowing early! My ankle feels better and better everyday!

I ran 5 miles on the treadmill in 38 minutes, then I did 20 minutes on the eliptical=2 miles. Lifted for 15 too. I lost some muscle the last few weeks. It's all good though!  :) Lynsey and/or Merri, are you guys interested in doing a run on Friday at 5? Like a 7 or 8 miler? I'd like to run outside but not at 5 AM by myself. Let me know if you guys can.

7 miles today yahoo! I ran a 3.1 in 21.10 and then I got to 5 miles in 36.23 and kept going for another 2 miles till 7. It felt so good. I had lifted for about 15 minutes before the run, so that kind of got my heart rate going. It felt gooood. The speed is coming back after the sprained ankle break. 

7 miles with Lynsey and Merri. It felt great to get outside! It felt kind of chilly the first couple miles- then sweaty of course. I need to build the stamina back up, it's down a little from the resting of the ankle sprain. The uphills were somewhat rough.

I'm thinking about running to the gym tomorrow....maybe  :)

Today I ran to the gym 2.5, then ran 3 at the gym. Ran back home 2.5. I strapped on my gigabeat and pounded pavement to the tunes. Good times. Oh and it was chilly this morning. 52 when I left. Wore a long sleeve today. 

Yes, I am alive and I am back! My family and I were at Lake Powell since last sunday morning. Ok bad news, when you take that long off without doing much cardio, you loose a lot of stamina. No joke people. good news, I only gained 4 lbs instead the 10 lbs I was sure of. hahaha, Seriously, I ate so much while on this trip I was sure I was going to come home obese. So I am back in the saddle again eating clean and saying no to soda/sugar/carbs of any kind. Boring eating that way, but you do what you need to do. 

Had a great 6 mile run this morning, just struggled a bit with stamina. Like I said, you don't use it (your body) you lose it! I will probably run to the gym in the morning. Good times!

Ran 7 today. I'm not ready for chilly weather!

I ran a quick 3.5 on sunday morning. I know, bad me.

Ran 8 miles this morning. My ankle still doesn't look quite right. Hope it all heals fully. 

My stamina is not the same. The week off was indeed harsh!

*****PM Update***  3.5 mile run at 8 pm. It was so fun dodging bugs and hiding from freaks driving by honking/whistling etc. Jerks.

Ran 7.5 this morning. I'll probably add more miles later this evening. I am trying to do small PM runs this week.

Ran 6.5 on the dreadmill this morning. Yehaawww. Lynsey and Merri we need to do a morning run together again. It's been to long......   only catch for me is I have to be home by 7 so Shawn can leave....so that stinks.

*****PM update****  Ran 8 miles with Lynsey around 7:30, it was good to get out with her again. It's been awhile! :)

Ran 7.2 miles this morning. Glad I got up, I was so tired I almost didn't. Happy Friday!

Ran a 6.5 with Merri and Lynsey. Initially it felt cold, but after 3 miles we got sweaty and wished for sleeveless. Good times as usual!

This morning was REALLY hard to wake up. 4:45 is very early! So today  I ran 9 miles. I got to 6.2 at 44 minutes, then 8 miles at 56 min. This was good for me, in working on my stamina. The little bit of time off from my ankle and then Lake Powell stole my stamina. Gotta build it back up to where it was.

What a busy week ahead of me. And today is the most insane day so I better run now and get on it!  :)

8 miles and not a step further. A little weight training afterwards. Did I mention I ate to much at lake powell? Ya.....I'm now paying for it by working off the extra jiggles. Grrrrr

7 miles today at a pretty fast pace. I finished in 48 minutes. 

Riddle: What runs but never gets tired?

6 miles this morning with Merri and Lynsey. The 300 south hill was rough stuff, but running under the bright lights of the gas station at 6 am, while people are filling up their cars was priceless. Oh and so was the conversation about the 2 'you know who's' from the gym .....ahem.....   :)

This morning I ran to the gym at 7:30 2.5 miles. While there I ran 3 more miles. Got to talk to my new friend Kira, she's coolness. Then I ran back home for 2.5 more miles. With a total of 8 miles. I feel good today. Hope I can get lot's done. Now I need to hit up the farmers market for some delicious produce and bread. Spanish Fork has a super sweet farmers market. Onion days 5k anybody? Lyns, wanna do it?

 7 miles with Merri and Lynsey today. We ran the river trail twice and it was nice. The weather was perfect. I am really disliking all the haze from the fire in Southern Utah. It's blowing it all this way. I'd rather see the scorching sun I think. I think I'm going to try and run 9-10 tomorrow. :)
