Moving Forward

I was hoping to get up and run before we had to pack to leave. But I stayed up way to late eating smores around the campfire with all the family... so fun! My oldest daughter doesn't let her kids eat anything with high fuitose corn surup. So she had homemade marshmellows and gramcrackers... YUMMY! Yes I raised a funny hippy girl :)

Today felt pretty good, considering I eat way too much junk while on our vacation to Bear Lake. I thought I had gotten used to the hot weather, but lately after work it has been in the high 90s. I need to make sure I get up before work tomorrow. I ended up running today on the treadmill, kept it at about a 9.15 mm.

I was planning on doing 7 miles but had some tummy issues. My 19 year old son was up all night on a upchuck-a-thon. I'm really hoping I'm not catching it. Kept it at about a 9.5mm pace. 

Well I didn't get up before work AGAIN... and the temp thing in my car read 102 when I got out of work. So it was another treadmill day :(... I really need to get myself up before work. I was able to zone out pretty good on this run, it was only about the last half mile that I really just wanted to stop. I kept the pace at about a 9mm.

I'm off work today, so I slept in a bit. I usually get my run finished before my hubby has to go to work, but today I took off for my run as he was taking off to head to work. The temp thing at the city building I passed said 77 degrees, I should have started earlier. My left heal had hurt for about the first half mile... then it felt fine so I thought it was going to be a nice run... warm but good. Then it all feel apart at the 2.41 mile mark. I thought at first I just had a stuffy nose, but the I realized I was having a bloody nose. AUGHHH! I stopped at a house that still had their sprinklers on and tried to wash my hands and shirt and get it to stop. After about 5 minutes of trying I could tell it was just getting worse. I wadded up my RHPC shirt to my nose and started my walk back home. I looked like something out of a slasher movie by the time I got home. Hand and arms covered, face and shirt. I never expose my tummy when I'm out running, it was humiliating having my marshmellow white, jiggley tummy exposed while I was walking home... I finally got it stopped, but I don't think I will go out and try to get any more miles in.

Tomorrow is my annual birthday run with my running friend. We both have July birthdays! So we run the trails up by snowbasin ski resort and then have breakfast at the Oaks in the canyon. It is a great tradition! We were not able to run it last year due to Sue's injury so we are both really looking forward to it. This will be the first year I've had my garmin so I will know just how far this run is. I estimated it to be about 10 miles before. I guess will see. I'm off to get a massage and get me a new sewing machine for my birthday, it's Sunday. My old sewing machine broke about two years ago, and when I went to get it repaired they said for the cost to repair it, it was better to buy a new one. Oh I think my average pace for the pathetic miles I put in today was 9.09mm

Have a good day blogger!

So today was my birthday run with Sue. This has been our tradition since we met and became running friends, about 7 years ago. Last year due to her injury we were not able to do it. So it was even better and sweeter doing it this year! You can check out the pictures from our run on my blog. It was tons of fun! We were a bit slow but it's a long climb up, then when you are running down you think it great because you are going down hill... but after a few miles my legs were just plan tired. My left heel really started to bug, so I have been icing it a bit this weekend. 

I think we average about 12:00 mm

Have a great weeked bloggers!!
