Remarkable achievements require remarkable efforts

So sad...today I was running on river bottom road and I saw a cute little black kitty.  Then right below him was a yellow kitty that had just been run over.  The poor kitty was still somewhat alive I think.  It was so gruesome I couldn't look at it or I was going to throw up.  I felt so bad for both kitties.  

I was supposed to meet lyns, but there was no site of her. :(  I ran 6 and tried to get faster each mile.  

avg pace 7.41

1st mile 8.22

last mile 7.04

So I did get faster :)  I'm a little bummed I didn't run the SF 1/2.  But I had a baptism to go to that morning so I couldn't have done it anyway.  And now I'm bummed I didn't do Onion days.  Alas such is life.  I'll probably put kamrie in the 1k race in Orem on the 19th.  And I'm still planning on the Save a Sister 10k in St George in October.

5 miles today.  again goal was to get faster each mile.  also I am going to try to push myself more and more.  I've been really not trying as hard as I know I can.  I think I'll start training now and hope for a 10k pr for Save a Sister.

avg pace 7.12

total time 36:03

8.04, 7.18, 7, 6.52, & 6.44

Met Lyns at 7 and we started as soon as we saw each other b/c it was ffffffrrrreeezing today :).  Our plan was to run a fast 5k.  We ran 3 in 21:20ish.  So that's pretty good.  Then  I ran 2 more w/ out Lynsey.  

avg pace 7.14

total time: 36.12

splits:  7.19, 6.59 (Lynsey look we did a sub 7!), 7.02, 7.45 (a slower mile to get my hr down), and 7.03

There's a FREE 5k this Saturday at BYU if anyone is interested.  Our ward is also doing a super sprint triathlon for $10 this Saturday.  I am not sure which one I want to do yet, I need to find a baby sitter or just a baby sister.  I wish I had a baby sister, wait I do....Leandra you know you wanna!  I'll babysit mittens on the 19th for you! :) just kidding

no running yet today, but I ordered some new shoes from finish line's clearance section.  :) 

3 PM miles pushing two heavy kids in the bike stroller.  It was hot hot hot. :)  Avg pace was like 8.40 or so.  

I was on call for babysitting this morning so I wasn't able to get a run in.  My neighbor was having her baby and called me at 6 to go sit w/ her other kids until her sister could come.  She had a little boy 6 lbs 12 oz or was it 15 oz?  20 in long and she's naming him Owen. :)

5 miles before hubs had to leave for school again.  bye bye weekends.  :)
