Eliptical for 35 minutes. Ran 6.50 on the dreadmill 7:15 pace. Lifted.

Ran 8 miles with Julie on the dreadmill. We did speedwork together. Then elipticall for 40 minutes. Kind of a cardio overload. Worked my core before I left. It's Saturday and raining, and all I am doing is housework. Could this recipe get any worse? ugh

Ran 5.40 on the dreadmill and then I went to spinning with Kira for the first time in months. Were talking maybe 7 months. Long time. I lifted and worked my core after. It was a short session but I got some done so....

Ran 2 miles on the dreadmill. Went to spin for 45 minutes. I left that room looking like a super sweaty betty. Then eliptical for 32 minutes. 

Slept in a trifle today. (5 am) is that even sleeping in? Durrr.

I ran 2.50 on the dreadmill. Then went to spin again for 50 minutes. I was another sweaty mess. I always am in that class. I am on a spinning kick this week. Then eliptical for 20 minutes. Woot woot.

6 very fast paced dreadmill miles and 1 hour eliptical style. NICE!

Provo Halloween 1/2. What a FAST course. Holy shiz. The first 5 miles straight downhill. Everybody was slapping their feet. I was number 2 female until around mile 7 and 9, when I was passed by 2 other girls. I was not registered for this race and was planning to run bandit style. But I saw Julie Esplin at the start who was planning to pace her brother through parts of the race. She offered me her bib since she wasn't planning to run the full race. She has had some knee issues. Su-weet! I'll take the bib! So I ran under Julie Esplin bib# 1607 Ah oh, that means I cannot let THE awesome Julie Esplin down with a bad time in her name. But, if you know me, you know I like to run pretty quick and I will always push myself. So maybe Julie has run a quicker half than my time today, who knows? But this is a new PR for me so I am down with it.

I have not run much outside since TOU. I could tell today. My last 3 miles I was dying and mentally I was quitting. But there were 2 dudes from the FRB who passed me those last two miles and gave nice words of encouragement (Jeff L I believe?)  also an older fella who was about to pass me at mile 12.5 suddenly slowed and looked over at me and said "hey Darlin, you need some company and a little push to stay on target?"  YOU BET! That was the best part of the race. The gentlemen who slowed just to help me.  What a stud! He ran with me the next half mile to the finish.

Not sure exactly yet how I placed for Julie, but from what I was told by spectators, I was the 4th female and PR'd for Julie's age group. Nice.

I know I say this all the time, but I will say it again:

I

LOVE

RUNNING

3 miles doing a very gimpy run this morning. I am sure I must have looked pretty stupid running up the road in such a gimp-like stride. My hammies and ankles are SORE. Ouch!
