Lousy treadmill miles. My legs are still a bit achy today which is OK ;) I am going to run 3, then 4, then 5 for the rest of the week. I just want to give myself a nice rest week to avoid any possibly lurking injuries. I had a very long and WONDERFUL massage today. I am really glad I scheduled one. I am going to plan one after every race from now on! I just had the best time this past weekend. I am so grateful that I found this blog. I so happy with running and I am just loving it! I LOVE you all!!!
Happy Monday!!! :D

I slept in this morning! YIKES! I was very tired and might have never awoken in my little Will hadn't come in and started to cry because he could not find me. I was one with my bed, flat on my stomach and invisible to the 3 year old eye :) I will run at 2:15 when the kids get home and it is WARMER :) My nutrition yesterday was really pretty good. I had yummy brown rice sushi (spicy tuna) for dinner that was divine! I had a bowl of Cheerios for a snack when I got home from work at 9:30 pm. I don't remember breakfast or lunch. I did have the heels of my homemade whole wheat bread with a bit of honey for a snack. Oh- I had some left over pasta for lunch. I had an apple some where in there. Oh yeah- I had a banana smoothie for breakfast. I did have a chocolate attack after lunch and ate about 1/3 C of milk chocolate chips. I am down 3# since monday, but that extra 3 was from the 1/2 and being sore. The chocolate wasn't the greatest choice, but little snacks like that keep me from going over the edge. Will loves the chocolate too :)
Today I have had a bowl of corn chex and am feeling fine. I am off to conquer the mountain of laundry! I shall prevail!!! (I need some dramatic music) 51:27, ave 12:50, best 9:08, Splits- 12:58, 13:14, 12:51, 12:17 The run felt great but REALLY slow. The bod had no wishes to move any faster. I just listened to Mama Mia and tried not to sing along. :D

Well- I headed out for a cute five miler (32 degrees) and darn it if the road isn't an ice skating rink. It looks like it had a thin layer of water- but no it's ice. I made it a block and almost slipped twice, so I will go after school. I am not sure if it rained or what. It is 32 degrees outside, so that is a possibility. Oh well. ;D I wanted to run after school, but didn't want to be a wimp. For safety's sake, I am going to have to go with WIMP!!! Anna, my 16 year old, can't breathe at all. She has been using the nebulizer since last night and I am going to take her in the the doc this morning. I may have to send her to Park City to stay with my SIL's parents. We'll see what the Doc says. *** 41 degrees- the run was going to be boring until Kim drove by and came along for 4 of my miles :D The air is CRAP! It needs to storm Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning to clear everything up. This will also make it so the roads are clear for the Monday run :) 59:27, Ave 12:27, best 8:25, Splits- 15:14(returned a video to the library that I found in the road on yesterdays run), 12:24, 11:45, 11:05, 11:52 bad food day. Why am I compelled to eat whatever is placed before me? ...or left on the seat beside me? I am a wimp!

| | 1:10:17, ave 14:02, best 9:37, Splits- 14:59, 14:38, 14:17, 13:19, 12:56 37 degrees. It rained all night long. It was drizzeling while I ran. No wind. I was a bit tired and relaxed. The pace was slow, but negative splits are a positive. I ran up around the mountain base above the crud. It was really pretty up there. I could see down in the valley- well not really, I could see a brown soup where the valley should be. I am icing my foot. My neuroma is acting up at 3.5 miles instead of 6.5. I am wondering if icing it after runs will help. Have a great weekend! I need to go shopping. It's impossible to eat good food if you don't have any in the house ;D

| | 58:01, ave 11:36, best 8:20, splits-13:32, 11:07, 11:31, 11:29, 10:48 1 mile warm up and then a bit of a push. The air looks great today. I had an emergency potty stop in mile 4. Thank heavens one of our friends was outside and let me use their potty! This was not a great VPB spot ;) I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend. I am going to laze about, do sime laundry, some shopping and NO eating of crap! We went to an Indian Buffet last night! YUMMY and then I came home and at a WHOLE pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia Light Fro Yo! It was awesome. That is my dining out for the week and my dessert! I am going to finish my book, "The Memory Keeper's Daughter," and then start Bleak House. It's MichelleL's favorite Dickins. Have a WONDERFUL weekend! Does anyone want to come down for the Ground Hog race on the 7th in Provo. It's in the announcements. It's one of Mary Anne's races. The is a 5k and a 10k. It's only like $6. COME :D
