I slept so BEAUTIFULLY last night and I even got to sleep in this morning! WOW!
This week I have 28.6 miles planned for. I am going to bike as to make my miles 8 every day.
I have SO much more to say regarding my goals and ideas but I have got to get busy with the kids :) I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your help, advice and mostly your encouragement and I try to become the best runner I can be. Running is my little thing I get to do that is for me. It is my "time out" that I so desperately need each day. Thank you for your friendship and cheers! They mean ever so much to me! | | Comments(8) |

Molasses Monday :D What a grand tradition! My legs felt really cool and skinny this morning :) They felt light. I realize this did not reflect in my anti-speed pace, but it was an unusual feeling worth noting. I had bad dreams all night, but slept ok reguardless. My ankle is ok today, but it has a bruise on it the size of a large peach and still quite tender to the touch :( It caused me no problems on the run at all :)
Have a great day!

TT(turtle tuesday) :D About a mile and a half into the run, I started getting another migraine :( Three days in a row. Bummer :( The run was fine. I decided to do the run because it was almost as far to just finish, as it was to turn around. Migraines tend to give me a bit of tummy trouble, so thankfully, an office was open in the middle of the OD 5k route that I could use :D All of the VPB's were over barbed wire fences. OUCH ;) My calves are getting tight again.
I'd love to write more, but the head will not allow. Have a GREAT day!

| | Yeah- I got to run with Kim today. We ran the OD 5k route. There was .33 miles of walking in the first lap. My calves behaved today ;) NO MIGRAINE today. I did get so mad after my second migraine yesterday that I drank 88oz of diet pepsi, ate a Snickers and a McDonalds Double Cheeseburger. That will show my head! I had nightmares all night long, no wonder, but I feel great this morning. We shall see what the day brings :) I am guessing it will bring some laundry and dishes with a tad bit of attitude and some diaper changing ;) Does anyone want to potty train my 2 year old for me?
Have a wonderful day :)

"I've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn.
"And we are led to those who'll help us most to grow, if we let them, and we help them in return.
"Well, I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you!!!"

Corny, I know- but I could never be achieving these goals I have set for myself with out all of your advice, support and kindness! Thank you so much!
Today's run was very slow and pleasant. I stopped 3 times to stretch out the calves and once for a porta-potty break. I forgot to stop the garmin. Every time I checked my pace it was just under 13 m/m so I am guessing that is about my average-ish.
I hope you all are feeling well and have a GREAT day!

Kim and I ran on the most wonderful trail EVER!!! We got onto the canal road by Springlake Elementary and ran into Santaquin. It was a slight down hill for the first half and then a slight up hill back ;) The road was great. Nothing like the portion that goes through Salem. It is shady nearly the whole way. This is going to be one of our new favorites! Hopefully we can run it a few more times before it gets too wet. It will be a muddy mess this spring. We've gone on it for less than a mile before, but never 4 miles one way. I am so glad we decided to try it today. Yee Haw!!! The run felt really great. I took 12 oz gatorade and 4 jolly ranchers. I am glad I did. I get panicky if I don't know where I am going or if there is water. There was the canal the whole way, but I am not keen on contracting Campylobacter jejuni (seriously bad diarrhea from creek water, unrelated to giardia)! Good times!
I hope everyone is enjoying their tapers. I am, cause it is putting me higher on the mileage board than I have ever been! Woo HOO!!! Have a great party weekend!!!

Gorgeous run today. What fantastic weather! Hopefully we will have the longest fall in all history :) KimR and I ran up main street and back. We ran in the shadow of the mountain. The sun was up just as we were getting back home to my house. It was perfect. There is a straight down hill 2 block stretch and we ran that one fast. The garmin said 7:45. We sang Queen's "We are the Champions" down it. It was LOUD and the neighbors had to be wonderings what in the world was going on. Of course by the bottom of the hill we could not talk, let alone sing :) Good times!
Have a wonderful weekend. I am going to relax today and well... just relax!!! Maybe I'll send the girls to red box for some flicks. I LOVE watching movies and chillin'!
