Let's do this!

This time change is killing me. So tired! Ran 1 mile on the tm. But I wanted to run outside so I quit and worked on the elliptical for 35 minutes. I worked my core then jumped in the car and came home. Grabbed my garmin and mace and ran 6.30 outside. I didn't attempt the river trail because it was really dark. Tomorrow I am going to run with my headlight. Oh and, I am not very fast outside anymore. There is work to do.   

I did  my first plyometrics workout on Saturday and I think it kinda hurt my low back. So I won't be doing that again for awhile.I have my first PT session today. He's a PT that works with the BYU track and field athletes. 

Ran 4 miles at the gym, then I came home and ran 7 miles on the river trail with Merri. Two loops, the 2nd loop in reverse. Can I just say it was so good to run outside with Merri again. She's the coolest. I wore my garmin to tight because now I sit here and type with a numb right hand. We wore beanies and gloves.

Good PT session yesterday with James Anderson. He works with the BYU track athletes. That guy stretched me out better than anyone so far. He showed me a bunch of new moves, and isolation of muscle that I've never even seen. He is a 20x marathoner and understands the runners mind. He asked me if I had ever run a marathon. I said yes but just one. He then asked my marathon time. When I told him a 3:09 his jaw dropped and he said, I've been running all my life and I've never gotten quicker than a 3:21. He said let's get you back in top condition so you can beat that time :)

Of course I'm not going to argue that!

Met Julie at 6 for a double river trail run. We both wore head lamps. I have mace, so we were good to go! It wasn't to cold out today. Our poor trail is getting the trees whacked by the city since they anticipate a possible flood of the river because of snow pack and how warm it's getting so fast. I hope our river trail looks pretty after they are done. But it makes for a sketchy run with rocks and branches on some parts of the trail. We ran pretty quick this morning. :)

I am sick to my stomach this morning. I don't know what's up...

I hurt this morning, bad. Ran 8 on the tm with Roy. So thankful he was there to talk me through my discomfort. 14 min elliptical. A few weights.

Nice double river trail loop this morning with Merri, Julie and A-hall @ 5:45. The moon was bright and looked really cool.I had headlamp issues from the start and ended up carrying the light which made for a Lily disco. A-hall said maybe this how we get 'Lilyfied!'. My headlamp must have been buggin', it even bothered me. So after the first loop Merri's hip was getting sore. She dropped off and took my headlamp to my porch. No more Lily disco. I had Garmin issues as well. I was a mess this morning.I locked up my watch and so I have no pace info.

Between my sore butt, Julie's sore butt and Merri's sore hip, A-hall was the only one running without a sore something or other. And he ran mostly to the side on the dirt or the grass. 

Last mile I did alone in the hood. The wind wasn't very cooperative at times this morning but whatev.

Sorry Adam, I can't help but call you A-hall now. :)

Ran 8 miles on the tm. Speed intervals for the last 30 minutes. Elliptical for 30 minutes. Weights..

Driving home from the gym I stopped at the track and put my garmin on. I ran 2 consecutive miles each in 6:35. Speed is coming back. :)  I did not hurt today at all. This is good.
