| | 7 on the river trail loop. I finally stopped being a baby the temperture got above 20 so I ran outside today. First time in 4 weeks. Felt awesome. I have terrible endurance after 35 minutes but I presisted. And my left heel still hurts :( I have crappy crappy luck with the health of my body being able to run the last 2 years. Ugh!!!!
| |
| | 6 on the tready.
I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue last week, To heal my adrenals I have been told to not run as long and as intense as I have. I don't really like that. I didn't follow that advice today :( But to heal my adrenal glands (which has caused all of my fatigue and bad running the last 2 years) I will need to tone it down. This kind of sucks!
| |
| | I don't run everyday. In February I am going to try and do 5-6 days a week at a very slow pace, to start base training. I think I am going to run pretty slow for several months to build up. Since nothing else I have done has worked. I will do the opposite I guess.
|
| | 6 on the tready. Today begins a pace slow down. I ran these miles SLOOOOW. I am pretty determined to change things around for me in my running. Going to get my body feeling good again.
| |
| | 9 miles. Still running slow. I am being slow on purpose. No one will ever want to run with me again, because I will run slow. Not planning on this forever. But until my heel feels better, I will be a slow poke.
| |
| | 6 miles in 45:00 weight training | |
| | My foot is feeling so much better these days. Crossing my fingers, but not getting my hopes up to much.
| |
| | 4 on the river trail. Another spot on my left foot is hurting. On the side of my foot, upper left. Thinking its compensation pain trying not to land hard on my inner heal? Oh you know, the things that keep happening to me! At this point in my life I just roll with it and sing la la la la la la here we go again! I will not stop trying. Can't stop, won't stop. I WILL NOT GIVE UP. I run this body. I dream about running all the time.
Guess I'll rest the foot this week and go from there.
|
| | 7 miles on the trail. Foot did not hurt at all. What gives? @#^%$$&^$!!!!! I don't get it.
Weights at the gym. Heavy, short sets. Cleaned my car when I got home. Red fingers raw fingers. That's about all that hurts on this day. Gearing up to say no to the Cadbury mini eggs my kids keep whipping out everyday. I had this philosphy that if I eat cadbury mini eggs, it would bring spring to my heart. My hips started looking pissed. No more philosophizing until afer summer! j/k

| | River trail plus river trail #2. Really nice out. | |
| | 2 miles of my left foot hurting. This is strange. It comes and goes. S ooooo annoying! |
| | 6 out there. I saw a chiro yesterday who adjusted my foot bones. I feel so much better! |

| | 6.5 tready style. It's to cold out
|
| | 3 miles. Speedy interval style on the tready yet again. To cold out
| |
| | 7 miles river trail style! Saw Rachelle and her Sis out. I was kinda coasting and they were heading the opposite direction so no stop today. But fun to see them.
|
| | 8 miles to the S.F. Cross trail. Chafed the heck out of my inner thighs with new shorts :/
| |
| | 7 miles. Legs felt like bricks. Felt slightly slow and sluggish. Not sure if its because I haven't run since last Friday, or I am just getting old!
|
| | 6 miles before memorial festivities
| |
| | 7 miles sweating by asprin off. I ran at 9 am and by that time the sun was out beating down hard. 75 degrees out. Hot, sweaty run.
|
| | 7 miles. My left calf pulled and balled up the last mile. It hurt! I stopped and stretched and walked a bit. Then ran the last half mile home. Embrace the suck!
| |
| | 9 fun miles alone. I was feeling sorry for myself that I'm always running alone these days. But then I remembered |
| | 8 miles on an old loop I used to run with Merri. Miss that chic like crazy. |
| | 5 fast miles trying to find some speed :/ |
| | 7 miles alone. Foot hurts, but I don't really care. Still planning on running all summer. It's not a New pain or anything. |
| | 11 miles. 8 on river trail 1, and river trail 2 combo. Then went to the gym on a tready and did 3 some speed on/offs. Feeling really good today suprisingly. Still wondering if I can pull of UVHM next weekend.

| | Race: |
Utah Valley Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:36:33, Place overall: 26, Place in age division: 1 | | Well, first time road racing since last August (hobble creek- pulled my hammy). Registered for this last minute, just wanting to get in there and get my feet wet and maybe have some fun. It's no secret that I don't have quite the same running fitness. I defintely do not have much endurance. Took time off Jan-march to try and get control of the PF I have had for a year now. It's back and it did hurt during the race.
First mile I went out way to fast for my fitness level (6:15 pace) baaaad idea. It stole a lot of my energy and I believe caused a lag for me much sooner than it should have. The head wind was a major problem and factor in most everyone's outcome, I think anyway. I know it was sucking my energy up fpr sure. Even after we turned out of the canyon onto University Ave, we somehow were still getting head wind. It was just too much! By mile 9ish I was physically and menatlly done. The endurance I have from my training only seemed to support me up to about 9 miles, after that it was all me and my mental self pushing the gas peddle. Thank heavens for beautiful Toby, who showed up at mile 11. We ran about 1.5 miles together. It boosted me, as my pace defintely quickened. Was so glad. But once she left me I was back at dragging. I think I finished somewhat strong but this time is less than stellar. However- I dont hold it against myself at all. Traning was almost non exsistant almost all fall and winter, I haven't done one lick of speed work, no tempos, no hill work, nothing, nada. A 1:36 isn'y shabby for all my lack.
It was pretty cool to watch the marathon peeps start rolling in. Probably my favorite part. :-) I am really not sure if I will make it to the start of SGM this year. It seems my body needs more time off to repair as I still have underlying hormonal issues with my adrenal glands. You really need those glands functioning to have energy to run. So it seems I may just be taking quite a bit of time off to rest and rejuve the adrenal fatigue that I suspect is flaring up.
1 mile after with my daughter in the kids 1k. She was up at the front with all the 11-12 year olds. Because that girl can run!
| |

| | 4 miles of intervals. Kicked my own butt. 30 minutes elliptical. |
| | 8 miles speedy style. I can't believe I can actually run with some speed. It's not that great but I still can. Running has not been a friend for nearly 3 years. So many problems! I can't get away from them
| |
| | 10 miles at 5 am. I felt so good. This is a miracle!!
| |
| | Weights- quads, hammies, back, biceps triceps and some shoulder. Ran 6 miles on the tready. Sprints intervaling for about 17 minutes. Easy run tomorrow.
|
| | 8 miles outside. 8:40 pace avg. Kept it slow so I could feel some recovery mode in these legs and feet.
| |
| | 7 miles. With a 3 mile tempo |
| | 5 on the tm with intervals of speed. 14 year wedding anniverary for my hubby & I today :)
