What ever it takes!

16 miles in 2:06:25  7:54 avg pace.  

I'm kind of worn out but not really that sore.

So much for my high mileage week, woke up feeling like I'd been hit by a truck.  Stuffy, Achy, and just all around yucky.  1 hour on the elliptical, 1/2 hour of weights then hottub and steam room.  I feel 100% better now, but glad I didn't push it.

I've been waking up very stuffy the last few weeks and thought it must be from the furnace and dry air, so this week I installed a whole house humidifier onto the furnace thinking it would help.  My fingers aren't falling apart from being so dry any more but for some reason I and the rest of the family are still waking up very stuffy every morning.  After getting up and moving it seems to get better but it's really annoying.

Stomach was also a bit of an issue this morning so I ran 6 slow miles, took a water break and then 6 faster miles.  Everything felt better while running the faster 6 so maybe that's the trick.

Full out sick today, went to the gym cause that's what I do.

1 hour on the elliptical, weights, hottub, and steamroom.  Now I feel a little better

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm pretty dang excited and a proud parent, I wasn't in the mood for racing but we went down to watch the American Fork Fleet Feet 5K and kids race.  We let the kids run the race and Zach my 4 year old (in bright orange) totally smoked the field.  I always knew he was fast but today he proved it.  Check out that form!!

I met Chad and Chad today to which was cool!

Got out of bed at 8:30am, walked to the kitchen for a drink and decided that was enough exercise for one day so back to bed.

Trying to figure out where my son gets his natural running talent.  Humm!!

Managed to squeeze out 9 easy miles this morning, first 3 were rough then it got easier.  The treadmill stalled on me halfway through, I'm sure glad it didn't do that to me on my treadmill marathon, I would have been mad.

Off to Brazil tomorrow so I'm not sure how running is going to go next week.  I'm a little nervous, I travel a lot but for some reason Brazil seems a little bit scary, especially since I'm going alone.
