planned on running 10 at night, but i was exhausted! i started running my tempo miles, and the outside of my quads were not loving me. it was weird that i hadn't felt them the day before. I cut my miles short, and run super slow in. first 3 miles were high 6's tempo, but i averaged 7:55. | |

| 8 on the treadmill - I attempted this first thing in the morning, but one of my boys fell down the stairs as i was running. i jumped off the treadmill to help him, and my 2 year old decided to jump on. ahhhh. he got pinned against the wall for a second or two - enough to scrape him up pretty bad. i felt so bad for him and felt like a horrible mom:( | |

My quads were still giving me trouble, so i used some kt tape on them and it seemed to have helped. felt fine for my run I'm also doing a little routine everyday to try and strengthen them. I think they are my achilles heel right now.
club run - showed up at 5 and trevor was the only other person there - did the time change? he dragged me along for 10 miles, i held pace for the first 6 but was just dead again. 6:58 average for the run, last 2 miles were 6:23.
pm - zumba - back started bugging but not bad. | |

6 miles on the treadmill, pace a little slow. i'm trying not to care that my run times haven't been fabulous this week cause i need an off week. I'm hoping to have a good, injury free feel good week next week.
I went to the rec center and swam for 25 min since that was all i had. I was happy that i would've hit a mile around 30 min.
p.m. what is my reward for having all males in the family? Father and sons camp out! I absolutely did not know what to do with myself. I have never had a night to myself! I had some dinner with friends, and then got asked to fill in as catcher at a softball tournament. I was way fun to play since it's been like 10 years! i am actually sore from throwing the ball so much - i hate getting older!
i went hom, made some popcorn and fell asleep watching a movie that night:) It was nice to have a little break. | |

I wanted to get some more downhill in today, so parked at the bottom of cholla creek, and biked 5 miles up the the highway. i ran down, back up, then back down. the clouds were loving me that day, and stayed above me for my whole run. I even got a nice sprinkle in the middle. Strangely, the outside quads hurt for the first 5 miles but not the rest of the time. I do feel like they are getting stronger and are not as sore today! I'm hoping to get a long downhill run in next week. abs bugged last mile today but i think my back tightened up.
I went back to my bike, and decided that i wasn't done for the day. I got 20 more miles in on the bike, but i really should've cut that short. i hadn't had any gels, but had some gatorade and a granola bar. I rode into leeds, and couldn't believe how easy it felt. it was slightly downhill, but it felt so effortless. i found out why. soon enough. i had a tailwind on the way out, and a nice uphill headwind on the way back.. oh yes. i averaged 10 mph on the way back, it was really sad. i was completely out of energy. its been a while since i felt like that. i'm a little worried cause this was supposed to be my recovery week. i guess i do start tapering after next week. i need some good solid tempo miles and a good downhill run to boost my confidence a little for utah valley! | |
