Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences. I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn. I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.

Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance
4.50	0.00	4.50

4.5 miles farm town loop, 8:53 pace. So cold on the run I probably gained weight!

If I want to be more competitive with my running I probably need to learn to be more serious and quit hamming it up for the camera.....I've looked through everyones pictures and apparently I'm the only one that feels the urge to throw my hands in the air whenever I see a photographer. :)

PM: 15 minute walk with the pups while my nephew is asleep (am I a terrible babysitter?) After several hours of day time soaps I was going crazy and the dogs were driving me crazy!

Reverse Taper Rules:

Week 1: No jogging longer than 40 minutes (except maybe sat?) & nothing faster than 8:30 pace.

Week 2: Nothing longer than 60 minutes & nothing faster than 8 pace.

Post paces on FRB to stay accountable, have fun, get lots of sleep, find new friends to jog with, and eat plenty of good food! Anything I should add?

Saucony Mirage Blue Miles: 4.50

those are some sweet shots.

i just try my best to look cute but it always turns out like this: http://www.zazoosh.com/photos/437250078

gained weight because it was cold? i'm confused... :)

haha I think I just laughed so hard I peed my pants...:) Good to know your not 100% serious all the time.

Love the pics. I'm confused too, usually gaining weight means you stay warmer and you sure don't look like you have.

Glad you're taking things easy and enjoying the run! Oh, and don't ever stop throwing those arms up for the camera...even if it does end up looking a little crazy :) Gotta know you elite runners still have personality!

From Rachelle on Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 12:41:29 from 67.199.182.207

I am just joking about the weight gain. I just mean I was going so slow and it was so cold that I don't think I dropped an ounce of sweat!

RAD- Crazy is my middle name! ;) It's funny though that from the pictures you can totally tell when the fatigue set in. Cheerleader for the first half, and death march face for the second. :)

You look awesome in your pics, I love them!! I always look like such a doofus in mine, and I actually have quite a few with my hands in the air, but I'm not a serious competitor, so I guess I'm ok;)

From NatalieK on Tue, Sep 18, 2012 at 14:12:00 from 24.2.101.184

I love it. You can tell that you're having a grand ol time! At UVM I did that for the first half of the race, the second half I look like hell....probably cuz I felt it. Again, congrats! I think you can still be competitive and have a good time, why not show it? :)

ha ha ... those are awesome pictures, how do you do it? Look good in *every* picture??

Try to enjoy the downtime a little ;-)

Looks good! Don't forget to indulge in whatever you avoid when you're focusing on training.

a few more additions:

-use the stick often/ice/ice bath

-wear your medal to the grocery store (this is entirely acceptable up to 4.5 weeks post-race). it's best if you whack products of the shelf with it, and/or clank it against your cart to draw more attention. you could also put your moose trophy in the baby seat.

-spend lots of time at work browsing through zazoosh photos

-zucchini bread

Those are great photos! I went through a phase where I gave two thumbs up whenever I saw the camera and shared a smile that communicated that the world was full of rainbows and unicorns :-)

Reading about your finish and seeing the photos...priceless!

Enjoy your recovery. Eat a big ole nasty hamburger so you can remember why you don't want to eat them :-)
