Last week went really well. The calves are doing great. My cardio is improving. I am hoping to be back to where I was by the first of october. This week I am planning for 25 miles. I have been doing half my miles on totally flat routes and half on my regular hilly routes. The variety has been really nice.
I am hoping church goes well this week. I bet it will be just fine. I'll do some Yoga before I head out the door ;) If not, Barry said he might be able to hook me up with some Valium. :D Anyway- the day looks beautiful and the boys are currently eating toast, shirtless, singing with their hands over their ears. I really don't understand boys. Ever so cute- just a bit odd though. At least the tattoos they were COVERED in last sunday are mostly faded this week. Oh yeah, did I mention that while David and I were out last week, the boys literally covered their bodies with pirate tattoos! Arms, legs, tummies, faces... not a speck missed :) So not only did they act like Hells Angels at church, they looked like them too!!! The best part about our ward is that it is FULL of older couples who are really kind and understanding. They just watch us and smile and give me a thumbs up or a wink as I drag the hoolagans out by their... actually whatever I can grab.
Have a great Sunday everyone! | | Comments(5) |

Monday monday! I cannot get over how beautiful sunrise is! I am sitting at my desk looking out my window and the sun coming through the sprinkers. All the the flowers, roses, black eyed susans, holy hocks and hastas, look so beautiful and sparklie in the sunlight! Even the weeds look pretty this morning! Although they are all going to DIE tonight when we pick them and throw them away! (evil laugh) I am going to miss summer! sigh!!!
Monday means off to Provo to teach a class. I'll be back after lunch to see how everyone is feeling after all the excitement this weekend!!!
Have a GREAT day and just ignore HOW STINKIN SLOW I AM RUNNING THESE DAYS!! :D

Can I just say I am SO glad that I can run EVERYDAY!!! I went back and read an email Sasha sent me when I first started FRB about how focusing on speed/pace can really cause some problems for runners. It really helped me to remember that running nicely paced miles is the best thing for me and will go a long way to keep me happy and injury free. I am SO grateful for this blog and all of you friends of mine!!
OK serious business- FRB t-shirts. I heard that at one time a "You've just been CHICKED" shirt was in the works. Today on my run I came up with a few more. How about:
Some day I'm gonna CHICK you!!! -FRB.com
Go ahead and CHICK me... make my day!!! -FRB.com
To CHICK or not to CHICK - that is the question! -FRB.com
CHICKED by FRB.com
And by Lucia-
I'll CHICK you later! -FRB.com
CHICK me out! -FRB.com
I'm just CHICKing you out! -FRB.com
I hope everyone has a GREAT day- oh and the visor works GREAT!!! I am looking more like Kerri everyday!!!

FRB Labor Day Potluck Breakfast at my house after the Onion Day's 5k & 10 K. I am providing the pancakes (banana chocolate chip) and waffles(whole wheat belgian), Michelle is bringing strawberries & pineapple, and Sarah is bringing the paper products. We are meeting at my house between 6 and 6:15 and then walking over to the race start. Feel free to meet us there or at the end of the race too and walk back with us :) There is a parade at 10 if anyone enjoys that type of torture! Funny how we'll run for days, but make us watch a parade and we would rather run for days :D Everyone is welcome- especially your families. Our house isn't big or fancy, but we've got a lot of grass and love to have company. We even have a creek to soak your race weary legs ;)
As for the run today, maybe my garmin is broken or maybe I am getting better ;) I was crunched for time today, so I pushed harder today than I have in a long while. It wasn't too bad. The funny part was that I felt like I was slowing down the whole last mile. Anyway, I ran up the canyon 2 miles and then down. The first and last miles were on 6th east, slight up and slight down. I focused on "less" of a toe strike to help the calves, which were fine :D Woo Hoo!!! All my miles for the rest of the week will be really slow, so that maybe I can keep up with Sarah for the 5 k on monday :) It is SO flat!!!
I was listening to The Smiths- "Girlfriend in a Coma" first song out- and I had forgotten how much I LOVE the Smiths!! They just crack me up, especially, "Some Girls are Bigger than Others" I play them for my kids and they just look confused! Generation gap- I guess!!!

Very Slow run today- not so much the pace, all be it slow, but it felt really slow and relaxed. Kim R came :D and we chatted about bread making and food storage. I am really hungry now :) It was 59 degrees when we left about 8:15am. The visor was really great out in the fields. We ran the 5k route.
I hope you all have a GREAT day and can't wait to see you on Monday :) It is supposed to be about 78 degrees for the high and stormy. Cool, less people will be parking all over my side yard. If you are coming for the race and breakfast, you really might want to park at my house before the race, as the parking gets full from the parade voyeurs and carnival goers :D Let me know if you need my address and I will PM it to you.
time ??? ave pace ~11:30

Beautiful morning run!!! 59 degrees when I started. I got to take Buster with me this morning! My brother Adam and his family stayed the night and brought their lab Buster. He was a very good running partner. I have no idea the pace or time. The run felt really nice and relaxed. My calves are twinging, so I will be massaging and stretching all day.
I hope everyone has a great day and Labor Day weekend!
Be sure to check out my previous blogs for Labor Day breakfast info. Everyone is welcome! | | Comments(7) |
