"You'll accomplish more later if you take some time for yourself"
I got this in my fortune cookie Saturday night at dinner. I have to keep reminding myself that it is alright to miss Hobble Creek. I really want to run it.
Is there any way to do it with out hurting myself? Walk a mile run a mile? It would take me six hours! It is really hard to give this dream up. I have been planning to run Hobble Creek 2008 for almost 2 years. Anyway... :(
This week the plan is more slow running. I will for sure, continue the ice baths. They are truly a miracle... only second to yoga ;)
Great races this weekend, everyone. I know that some of you were disappointed in the outcomes of your races. I only wish you could see how amazing you are. It may seem like a disappointment to you, but, HOLY COW, your running on your worst day is still AWESOME to 99.9% of the entire world population! The way you think, the way you train, but more importantly, the way you live your lives. Everyday, I am in awe of what you do, what you can command from your body. WOW, really WOW! Bravo to you ALL! | | Comments(7) |

Real quick entry before work.
49:30, Ave pace 13:40, best pace 8:30, Laps-13:34, 13:18, 10:53, 10:30(.24m) I did walk a 1/4 mile warm up with a stretching session the middle of that, per Michelle's suggestion :) Thanks! Only a 10 min ice bath today. I ran out of ice :) My tub is an old iron one, so it stays VERY cold. I cannot believe the tremendous effect it has on post running legs. They feel perfect. I just wish it wasn't so cold ;D
Great to run! Beautiful day! I'll check out all of your runs after lunch! Good luck and be safe! | | Comments(6) |

30:21, ave 12:06, best 7:03, Laps: walk .25, 12:10, 10:21, 9:04 (.25)
I have got to quit watching the Olympics at night. I am fully addicted (and want to look like them). All of them. Is it possible to undo 16 years of inactivity and obesity and look like a beach volley ball player for my 40's? I think the 6 kids DESTROYED the abs, bless their hearts. The legs and arms are ok, but dang, the rest is pretty shot all to Hades!
Enough useless rambling, the run was unbelievable this morning! Lovely and hot and nice and great! I am off to the Bath of Ice and Doom. Magic!
What a glorious thing to be able to run! Just glorious! Now it would actually exceed glorious if I looked like any of the women swimmers or volley ball players, (or even some of the men cyclists! ;) | | Comments(14) |
| | Holy Crud! What a gorgeous day! I am so in love with this weather. I know it is going to be gone soon :( It is just so STINKIN' perfect!!!
I literally could not wake up this morning. At 7 I finally dragged myself out of bed only to return moments later. I fought the magnetism of my bed for the better part of an hour. I finally ate a piece of wonder bread and got out of the house. Once the sun hit me, I was sold on the run. It felt great. I am having a REALLY hard time not running faster. I want to push myself. Now don't get me wrong, I am a VERY lazy person. I love to sit on the couch and watch movies ALL DAY (or scour the internet for cemetery records ;), but when it comes to running, I want to burn myself out. I think I need a doctor of the psychiatric persuasion.
Oh, I feel so bad! I got into bed last night fully intending on staying up ALL night watching the Olympics, but... I snuggled into my hubby and didn't last more than one vault ... or whatever they were doing. I was out like a light. Apparently, my body was a bit tired and didn't care how the US women's gymnasts did.
I hope you all are having a great day! I am getting really excited about cheering you all on at Hobble Creek next week! Woo Hoo GO FRB!!!!
Time- 28:53, ave pace 11:28, best pace 8:08, Laps- 11:41, 10:30, 9:31 (.24) Walk and stretch at the beginning.
*** 20 min ice bath. Thanks Maurine for the tip.. I sat in the tub, filled with cold water, THEN added the ice. Very nice!!! | | Comments(9) |

I have got to not stay up for the olympics! But I just can't help it! I thought that one dude on the still rings was DEAD when he fell! Man was it exciting last night. I actually screamed when the other guy fell off the high bar. (I am really bad with names, except for Phelps and Misty May)
We (yes, Kim R is back :) left at TEN o'clock! STUPID! I had to walk a bit after mile three cause I was feeling like CRAP!!! Oh well! I will not do that again! The legs are good :)
I should be at just about 20 miles this week. Dr Brady said that was Okee Dokee! He also said I sould run more on the DREADMILL! Maybe he does not know everything ;D Just kidding... he is all knowing!!!
54:30, two short walking breaks, too hot :(, ave pace 12:37, best pace 8:05, laps-11:44, 11:29, 10:57, 10:34 Ice bath and a banana smoothie! Burrrrr!!! | | Comments(13) |

It's really hard to tell the difference between "needing" to take a break and just being too lazy to run. I am going to err on the side of caution and take today off. My legs feel great, maybe I am just being lazy? (those dang olympics!!!) Ok, I'll go run just 2 miles right now. Slow and flat. I'll be right back :D
I'm back :) Nice slow easy run. Ave pace 11:12. Boy it sure feels good to run. I am glad I went :D Lots of smiles today.
I am going to make raspberry jam today. YUMM! The humming birds are buzzing my window! David has the day off. Life is GOOD!!! We are going to the Bombay House for dinner tonight! LIFE ROCKS!! I love indian food. We are going to the temple tonight after dinner to do a bunch of Family File sealings :) Wow, life is great today! Hey, I may even get some more cupboard painted :D OH and yesterday we found 42 ccents! I am RICH to boot! Oh and speaking of rich, our gasoline bill was only $300 this month! I am blessed!
Have a great day! Be safe and swift!!! | | Comments(11) |

Beautiful morning!!! WOW a ton of Hobble Creek runners were out this morning doing training runs. I went five with Kim, she has another five to go today :) Not me- I am done and a smidge over my planned miles.
The running is feeling really good as far as the legs go. My cardio is holding me back at this point. I am so surprised at how tired I am during the runs. I am going to make sure next week is a lot slower than this week. Some of you may think that it is not possible to go any slower, but I assure you I can ;)
Have a GREAT weekend. Oh and check out my last three splits- how weird is that?
