It was a beautiful morning. We didn't run much because my calves were cramping up again. Also, I had those side shin splint ankle burning things again. These "pains" were far less than they were after the Prove 10 miler, but the same things. I have got to work on my electrolyte balance on a daily basis, and especially after long runs and races. I have been having electrolyte problems for 6 months and I have got to get a handle on it.
Action Plan (feel free to suggest more stuff)
banana's every day, one whole one and one in my protein/dairy smoothie, right after my runs
go to the good earth and get Mama Calm (as suggested by Michelle)
NO MORE DIET PEPSI :( *for 1 month and see if that helps :)
NO MORE MISSING YOGA CLASSES
Eat mainly whole foods. | | Comments(10) |

I decided to run a flat course today. It was ugly and boring :P ! The hilly neighborhoods I usually run are much prettier. Also, it was trash day where I ran and it was STINKY! How is that for a major cut to my city! I am going to be banished! Anyway- the run went much better this morning than yesterday. My whole legs still feel like taffy that has been put in the refrigerator- hard and ready to snap, but not cramping up today. I am guessing I need a massage. I feel like my running form is also super up-tight. So MORE yoga and I need to find a new massage therapist. Mine moved to Vernal :( Have a great day!

My goal is always to have each split be less than the previous, and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
Today felt pretty normal. A little tightness in the calves and discomfort in the ankles, but nothing to stop me. I ran my usual route which was very nice and cool. I love the canyon breeze that comes down in the morning. I took my ipod and enjoyed Evanescence, The Scorpions and The Wicked Soundtrack. The Scorpions really helped with that last split- it's huge and in green in case you missed it ;)
I am going to go finish my yoga class as soon as I am done here. Tomorrow and Saturday are both 2.5ers and Friday is 10 miles. If anyone is up for a MEGA slow 10 miles (12-13 m/m) come join me! My sister-in-law will be in town and I am probably going to make her come with me :) She'll be so happy about it.
Have a great day everyone! Happy running!
Fished my Yoga class! Why do I EVER miss? YogaToday.com has a yoga for runners class in their archive. It was fantastic. My hips, quads and knees are feeling the LOVE now. Alright, every morning after my daily ritual, I am gonna DO YOGA! I know I have said it before, but WOW, it's just the best and I am a FOOL to skip it! | | Comments(4) |

My hubby, David, came with me this morning and we walked, with a little run at the end. He pulled a calf muscle last month and is a little gun shy about starting to run again. I was happy to have a walk today. Tomorrow I will run an easy 2.5 and then 10 miles on Sat. I should be good and rested for that after this very low miles week. I may rearange my schedule so that I have a shorter long run on my easy weeks. We'll see how it goes. It might be really nice. Hobble Creek is getting close and I am getting SO excited! I have learned SO much. I am quite sure I won't beable to break 2 hours, BUT, I am sure that I will be able to have a good run in the best time possible (baring any unforseen misshaps ;) Whatever it is, it will be and I will be good with it!
I posted my walk info- not sure why, habbit I guess :D Have a GREAT day!

Did my yoga class yet again this morning! Yeah me! 2 in a row!!! Funny thing, my hip flexors, which ususally KILL me when I get out of the car- are fine after some serious yoga sessions. I LOVE YOGA-I LOVE YOGA-I LOVE YOGA!
no ratting me out- but... I had a diet pepsi today :D | | Comments(12) |

It felt really warm this morning. I have been feeling hot for the past few days. I must be retaining water or something. Strange. I have also been very irritable! Diet Pepsi withdrawl? ;)
Anyway- the first mile felt terrible, although I chicked an elderly woman on her morning walk. (Is is "chicking" if it's a girl you pass? Probably not) My first mile was all up hill though- excuses excuses- my first mile is ALWAYS uphill. The second mile was fine. If I had gone longer it would have been a much better overall run. (I can't believe I said that) BUT... I must stick to my mileage plan.
Tomorrow is 10 miles and I am going to try a gel :P I am pretty sure I will throw up, but I gotta be sure. I really like Jolly ranchers. The past 2, 10 milers, I just kept a jolly rancher in my mouth the whole time, pretty much, and drank about 4 C of gatorade over the run and was fine. (my first 10 miler, I majorly crashed and burned at mile 7- must never let that happen again if possible) I read about someone eating cinnimon bears on another blog- I love those little guys!
Good luck to everyone either racing or long running this weekend! Be safe and swift! | | Comments(7) |

The payson Canyon Fox Club was on the move today. Kim R, Tricia, and my sister-in-law Barbara headed up the canyon for a beautiful cool 10 miler. It was all well and good until I injured my calf muscle. I don't think it's torn, because there was no "pop" like last fall. Unfortunately, we were far from home and had no cell phone so I got to walk it off for 3 miles :( This was good I think, because after Kim R saved us in her car, and I rode for a bit, and then, when I walked again, it KILLED! It hurts something good right now. I am going to ice it and take it easy today. I am not sure if walking on it is a good idea or not. Web info says to ice it and stay off it as much as possible. I don't think it is torn, just really irritated. It's definitely not charlie horse.
My family is at the Scottish Festival Bag Pipe Parade. I can hear the pipe bands and they sound wonderful! I feel badly that I will very likely miss my daughters competing in the band competitions. I LOVE The bag pipes! | | Comments(12) |
