I'm not crazy...I'm just bored!!

drag, drag, drag - although sleep is better :) We got a memory foam mattress topper this weekend, ahhhh! Sleep is almost good now!

TM at the gym with lead legs - I feel like I've gained 50 pounds sometimes when I run!

2 miles 9:50 then 9:40 

upper body weights on the bosu ball, push-ups, core work and ITB stuff.

2 miles 9:40 then 9:31

Same weights repeated

2 miles both at 9:40

Same weights again

Can't wait to go to BBK's tomorrow!! I'm worried about the wind & weather, waking up early & not keeping up, but I'm excited to feed off the energy of amazing runners again! YAY!!

BBK day today! It was hard, I'm not going to lie. This morning at my doctor's apt she described running pregnant as "running trying to push a jogging stroller with a 40 pound child, and a corset tied around your ribs". VERY accurate! 

It did feel good to get out and run with friends, chatting and enjoying the morning! We did a 1.5 mile warm-up, then 3 one mile loops (those wanting a workout did speed for .7 of it then recovered .3 - NOT me!), then the same 1.5 back to the parking lot.

AP: 9:30 splits: 9:20, 9:16, 9:28, 9:29, 9:28, 10:00 (this last mile had the horrible hill that I was dreading the whole way back to the lot!).

Hit the gym for total body class - it was tough, but not as bad as it is sometimes!

Finished off with 30 min on the elliptical @ L8.

Hubby picked me up at the gym and we went to the docs. Only 1.5 pounds this last month - YAY! but it feels like 20 :) Happy hiccuping baby boy, still. Did the glucose test and not eating all morning then drinking that crud almost made me throw up after about 45 minutes - yuck! Doctor told me to keep on running! Just don't push to barf-zone, watch for joint injury/pain, over-heating and getting sunburns easily when I do run in the sun. Cleared medically for SLC 1/2 which is the best news :)

Woke up feeling like the world was against me...so I went back to bed! There would be no early running for me this morning.

Boot camp @ the gym. Wow, it was a beat down this morning - honestly it was what I needed to pull my head out and get moving for the day.

Hit the TM quickly after wards to get my 2 miles in before having to be home to start work, but I was able to take it slow (I was already hot and tired!!) 9:50mm, 9:40mm. I'm glad Kelli was there to distract me, thanks Kelli - you are amazing!

Woke up determined to run with the BBK's - snow can't be THAT bad in April! On my way driving to the meeting location I was slipping and sliding all over the place. I couldn't stop and I couldn't turn. After only 1.5 miles from home I got scared enough (see...I am a pansy) that I changed plans and decided the gym and the TM would be fine. I was hot, overdressed, sick of the stupid TM and not happy to be alone again; however, I felt a LOT better than going out to group. Don't know why, but for some reason I just wasn't supposed to go this morning - whether it was driving there or if I would've slipped in the snow as I was running (NO yak trax for me), but I just wasn't supposed to go.

6 miles on the TM all @ 9:50, but I'd play with the elevation each mile. Anything from 0-2%, just to keep me entertained.

I walked about 5 minutes to cool down on an 8% grade @ 3mph, then stretched and came home. It was nearly as bad driving home as it was driving there; however, at least the main roads had been plowed, it wasn't until you hit the po-dunk streets heading into my 'hood that it got bad - slip sliding around, again.

No school for kiddos today, but I'll head off to yoga then come home to work all day *sigh* then drive downtown for General Auxiliary training for Primary tonight, long day. 'Rest' day tomorrow to prepare for the 10 miler on Saturday - please don't snow again, please oh please oh please!!

Easy day today, I need to save some for the 10 tomorrow. How sad...I have to rest to do a simple ten miles *sigh*

got to the gym early (still have to be home by 10 and the day care opens at 8:30, so if I want to sleep in at all I BARELY get 80-90 minutes) and wanted to do the bike, but for some stupid reason they took all the upright bikes and now we only have recumbent bikes - so I opted for the TM and a hill climb.

75 minutes on a 10% grade @ 3mph. Total of 3.75 miles and 750 calories.

Now to figure out how to get the run in tomorrow and not fight weather....

Scared of the snow and rain I decided to hit spin class this morning, and put off the run. Took it easy on class, no big pushes, just enough to wake my legs up :) Plus, it was the 90 minute class that is only once a month - can't pass that up!

Did the run in the nice sun and a cool breeze in the afternoon. We had a family dinner in West Jordan so I ran from Butterfield Canyon (almost home) down Bacchus to New Bingham Hwy, down to Copper Hills HS then north on Grizzly Way to my in-laws.

If you've ever driven past the dump on Bacchus you know that it is in the bottom of a HUGE dip - the hill coming out of the dump was a killler! I didn't care the pace, the goal was just to NOT walk. It consequently made that mile very slow :)

Had a water stop at mile 5, and an EMERGENCY potty stop at Arctic Circle - the first building I encountered - at mile 7. One nice thing about running on Bacchus is that I love the looks you get from drivers...you are out in the middle of NO WHERE! It's the 'where did you come from and how long are you running till you get there?' look. Helps put some energy in my step :) Bad part: NO bathrooms or anything (even bushes!) - this was a serious issue, I'm honestly feeling good about the SLC 1/2 and I know I can make the mileage now (w/out pain and killing myself) - but ONLY if I have a pair of depends on!! :)

AP: 9:16, splits: 9:02, 8:48, 9:41, 10:14 (Hill of DEATH!), 9:23, 8:57, 8:45, 9:02, 9:19, 9:26

Not to shabby! It's nice to have a downhill run to help the pace out. I honestly felt best during the 8:45 (mile 6-7) and the last 9:26 mile. Interesting to have the paces so different, but I really think it was the downhill that made the difference. I was just happy to finish and still feel good!!!
