Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

I warmed up on the treadmill then stretched. I ran the Onion Day's 5k route backwards from my house. I prefer it backwards. When I run it regular, it gives me an anxiety attack. I stretched at home and am now stinking up the couch blogging :)

I am thinking about doing a 5k time trial with Michelle tomorrow. I want to, to see if Painters 5k is a good idea. If there were no Painters, I would postpone a time trial until the end of the month. So, I think I should do the time trial at the the end of the month. This will give my legs all the time they need to make sure they are healed/healing. So for my run with Michelle, I will just have to torture her will the uber-Granny Marion Pace :)

Ave 11:22. Laps- 11:00, 11:09, 11:46, 11:26. Running this the race direction has forced me to skip the fact that the first mile is slightly down hill and mile 2 is a little more down hill. Very interesting. this will help me plan my race a bit better in the future :)

1/4 mile warm up on the treadmill. Stretch.  Ran with Michelle.  she pushed by 4 year old in the stroller while we ran at non-stellar granny pace, aka my pace :)  We ran too far because I forgot about the little loop to drop off my 8 year old's glasses at school.  It felt tired this morning.  I think that I really prefer the afternoon runs to the morning ones... although I prefer any with run Michelle :D

11:55, 10:47, 11:04, 11:42

My hips really squawked when I stretched today so I decided to do little miles and am going to go and stretch the tar out of my hip region this evening.  Running would probably be fine, but they were so whiny that I figure I will just cut them some slack.

I just registered for the Provo city half May 1, the memorial and Pioneer day 10ks at run13.com.  Michelle and I are signed up for both.  let's all do them and wear the colors!  RHPC forever!!!

Cleaned house to warm up :)  Stretched really good :)  I was feeling kinda naughty so I ran 5, 11:56 pace.  I had to walk backwards down a steep down hill and run in about 4"+ of snow/ice for about .1 mile.  It felt really good and maybe a smidgen of a niggle in my knee, but nothing much at all.  I am all hydrated so now I am going to stretch :)

I was lucky enough to be able to run with Luz today.  I imposed a nice slow run oh her :)  We met at her house and just popped onto the PRT for another indulgent 5 miler.  I stretched really well at Luz's home before we left and we did another stretch session at the 2.5 mark.  We stretched at Luz's home afterwords as well.  It was SO fun to be with her and chat.  I may have to impose myself on her more frequently, for her sake of course :)  It's always good for the speedy chicks to have a nice slow run for recovery and healths sake.  I am happy to offer my services :)

THANKS LUZ!  You are the BEST!  Sorry you were late to work :(  Our talk was SO good though :)

2 miles.  My whole lower half was like a whiny teenager today.  Everything was squawking and acting like a teenage who does not want to go to the family reunion.  Nobody really ended up in a full fledged temper tantrum, but I was ready to spank a few parts ;)  I thought about not running, but I felt really good about two miles, so I did it.  I don't think anything is injured, just sort of ticked that I ran so much the last few days.  they will get over it :)  I can really feel the fatigue from the last two five mile days.  

David, and my two oldest girls just got home from 3 days at youth conference at Aspen Grove.  They had a GREAT time and I am glad that they are home :)
