Let's do this!

4 miles this morning. It was sooo beautimus outside this morning.

35 minutes elliptical. Lifted weights for 25, ran 5.30 river trail loop +highs school track laps.  Osama BL is deceased, and that's all that matters today.Do you think he had a mullet when they found him?

10 outside. It's been a long time since I ran that far outside. Outside fitness is just so much different than inside fitness (think tm). I've still got it!

This morning I went to golds gym to warm up my muscles before I ran outside. I walked in around 5:40 and it was sooo humid! GROSS! Get me out of here! So I just ducked in, plugged my nose, and worked on the elliptical for 40 minutes. Then I lifted weights for about 20 minutes and rock and rolled my buns out of Golds. I came home and got my Garmin and Ran up the river trail. I did speed intervals for the first 25 minutes. 7:37 to a 6:20 pace. The last 30 minutes I just ran and got into my music. The sun was out and the sky was an amazing hue of blue. I saw a beaver just off the trail. At one point, I had to do a little maneuvering and scrambling as there was a tractor parked in the middle of the trail. It has been moving boulders back and forth trying to secure the rivers edge. They expect the banks to overflow this week. So I had to go up a steep hill and around the tractor in my path. Fun times. I love running this time of year outside and most especially I just love running. My parent's should've middle named me run. hehe

Provo city 5k on Saturday! My goal: crack the 20 min time again.

45 min elliptical hell. 4 miles outside running.  I got to see the sun rise over Mount Loafer. I run past about a half mile of ornamental pear trees every morning and they bloom this time of year and smell sweet. My senses were definitely alive this morning. 

Provo City race tomorrow!

Hiiiii ya'll. I did this 5k with my 3 cute friends this morning. Julie, Robyn, and Jessica. We are the crazzziest girls on planet earth! We had so much fun. 

We did about a half mile warm up and went to the start line as they called for the 5k. It was pretty packed. I went to the front where the race directors and the Provo City Mayor were. One of the directors is giving us directions about where we are running this year (the course was different from last year). And he says don't run over the bridge, go under it. I spoke up and said something about it being the same turn as last year, and just follow the people in front. He goes they'll be following YOU Sis! LOL!  I had on a white headband and he starts yelling to the crowd and pointing at me: "FOLLOW THE WHITE RABBIT!" Hahahahahahahaha, I think I turned bright red!

They gave the Mayor a 1 minute head start. Then we were off. It's showtime! I passed the poor Mayor before we even hit the viaduct. He patted me on the back and he said: go get em white rabbit! Haha I can't believe I got pinned as a target! White rabbit shmabbit. :)

 This course is probably one of the hardest 5k's I've done. Serious. Basically the whole thing was incline. I was dying. The only downhill of sorts was in the last half mile going back under the viaduct. I tried my hardest today. The distance went longer than a 3.1. My watch and Julie's watch read 3.22

I think I am still just trying to recover back a little bit of my running fitness after injury,. Also, I am carrying around an extra 9 lbs that wasn't there 4 months ago. After consistent running outside every morning tempo pacing etc., I'll get back to where I was. After all these things can come together, I'll feel like I am truly back to my normal.

I ran with men the whole time. There was 1 gal slightly ahead of me. She looked like she was doing great. She looked like a former BYU runner from her tights she was sporting.

Run13 puts on a good race. I love them! I got to see Allie and fiddy, Jun and Chad. Fritz and a few others. Love to see my FRB homies.

Splits: 6:19, 6:49, 6:57, 1:41.  I wfelt slammed at the end. 2nd over all female, 1st place in age 30-34. 

I looked at the window and what did I see?....
