Short-Term Running Goals:

keep running, stay fit and healthy, while having fun. Would like to get my mileage up to 25 miles a week and plan some short races when I get confident with my speed.

Get my mileage back up and run pain free!

Went to SLC on Friday, and spent the night at my sister-in-laws in West Jordan.  I took my running stuff and decided that if I was really feeling ambitious I would go for a run.  Set my alarm, got up to go and realized I left my shoes at home....uhhggg!!  I was really mad because I would have loved to sleep in.  I did have another pair of sneakers, difinatley not running shoes, but decided I was up and would give it a try.  Not to bad, but the shoes are really different from my running ones and for the first 2 miles I felt like my legs were just not in control, it was weird.  Kinda fun to run in the city I saw runners all over the place, as I ran down a busy road by Day Break.  As I passed them I wondered if any were bloggers?  It's always fun to run in a different place and see knew scenery it is nice and distracting!!!  I ran up passed where my sister-in-law thinks is going to be the new temple at Day Break.  If that is the case it has a beautiful view of the valley around it.  I kinda had a rough week getting in my miles, and it's Sunday night now and my calves are still really sore, they have been a lot latley, but I think the change in running shoes must have added to that, so I'm hoping to get a better week this week, we'll see I guess!

Wow- I admire your dedication- running despite no running shoes! Yes- to answer your question I am crazy to get up at 3:45- but had to make my son's first soccer game of the season (8am) or I'd feel guilty! I took a 3 hr. nap later that day!! Anyway- my parents live in Day Break! So cool you were just by there. Yes, its a temple going in up there. Its a fun community, my kids love to visit their grandparents there - lots of fun parks and a cool community lake...

That is true dedication for you! Running in non-running shoes...and on a trip too! Great job, Michelle. You are building up a great base. When is your next race?
