Let's do this!

Ran 5 miles this morning on the river trail. Avg pace 7:26. *PM update* ran 3.5. Didn't look at my watch, just ran what felt ok. 7:11 avg.

Random weights. 36 minutes elliptical -hard effort.

6 miles on the river trail. avg pace 7:57 -this had to be recovery pacing because yesterday my paces were solid and my legs were slightly sore this morning.

Have I ever told you all how my eyes water like the hep-C lion drinking fountain at Hoogle zoo? I run through major watery eyes everyday. Hate it.

I have loved watching Boston and getting all the texts updates. I am so proud of everyone!

Random weights. 27 minutes elliptical.

 Ran 7 miles around the river trail. Still struggling to find some getupandgo.

Track workout disaster. Not sure what's going on, but I am fatigued, lack pep, whatever you want to call it. I know I need to sleep more, but wonder if there is something else. I haven't been taking my multi-vitamins for a few weeks, so I started that back up today.

Ran .50 to the track, and another 1 mile on the track to warm up.

Then 4x200's, 4x400's, 4x200's. Was about 3-5 seconds slower on each rep then I wanted to be. I just didn't have it in me today. The last week I have felt like a disaster. Who knows...

Cool down 1.25 miles home.

Ran 6 miles. avg pace 7:40

I've had a little more sleep the last 2 nights and am feeling a little less fatigued. Gym: weights, then 40 minutes on the elliptical. Then I left and ran 7 miles on the river trail loop twice. Avg pace 7:37. At mile 6 I watched a dog tied into the back of it owners truck fall out the back while he was driving. It was funny and a little scary at the same time. The dog is fine, no worries. The owner noticed in time and slowed down to put his dog back in the truck. Weird. Now I'm off to St. George for some trail running and hiking in Zions and Snow Canyon! Fun fun! I'll post pictures here each day. Sorry for the run on, I'm updating from my crackberry.

I ran 7.5 miles in the heart of Utah's Dixie! Its so HOT here, but so beautiful. I ran the red cliff trail and the silver reef trail yesterday. Such a good time. Am now driving to Zion to hike. There is nothing like the state of Utah, beauty and awe inspiring things are everywhere.
