My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born. I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband. My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Total Distance

5.00

1:06:12, ave 13:14, best 8:26, Splits- 12:09 (with walking and the BEAST downhill), 12:50, 13:28, 13:51, 14:39(.7, the beast up hill), 11:57(.3 walking on snow and sprinting on dry ground)

It felt GREAT to be outside. I had a bit our trouble shaking the negative treadmill attitude, but I did and I am SO HAPPY!!!

Since my first real race is not until May (Ogden1/2) I am going to stick around 30-35 miles per week until March 1st. I have been really getting frustrated with the weather and this just gives me some flexibility with my running so I don't FREAK out if I don't get in all the miles and workouts I have planned in. They say that one month a year needs to be a recovery month so I am going to take advantage of these last few winter weeks and try to relax and not back slide too much. My number one goal is to run injury free FOREVER and ever, so NOT adding miles for a month won't kill anyone ;)

Happy hump day!!!

Congratulations on getting outside!

An easy month sounds like a really good idea.

From Smooth on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 12:31:42

I concure, agree, amen, echo, nod my head to what you said. YES, no FREAKING out if we don't get our miles in, RECOVERY is GOOD, PAIN FREE ROCKS!!! INJURY FREE RULES SUPREME!!!

BTW, AWESOME 5 miler and conquering the BEAST, so GLAD you were able to get outside before another stinkin' storm hits.

From Kelli on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 13:47:35

Yes, have a great recovery month!!! You have been busting your fanny and deserve it.

From leslie on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 14:36:12

I am jealous you went outside, I am sorta enjoying the warm cozy gym now.

Recovery sounds good, enjoy it!

Are you still thinking of joining us Sat.? Bring Rinny along!!

Call me if you have any questions. Would 7:30 work?

You are awesome. 30-35 miles a week sounds incredible, way more then I am doing right now (or have done for a while), so I am very impressed. Enjoy your recovery month. See you Saturday!

Way to go!!! running outside and beating the BEAST! Staying injury free is my goal also... as soon as I'm injury free LOL

From marion on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 23:33:59

Way to go getting outside and getting it done! I wimped out, still being paranoid about slipping on the ice again, but hope by Friday, unless we get more bad weather. You're mileage is great! Keep it up and Ogden 1/2 will be a breeze for you.

Sorry, that last comment was from me. I'm here multi-tasking and not paying attention. Keep up the great work!

From Nevels on Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 23:38:53

Consistency is the key, and you've been more consistent than most (including myself). Rest up, stay healthy, and you'll be ready to blast some races in the spring!
