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.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

I took today off of work to recover from vacation.  I slept in way to late and then spent way too much time on the computer before getting my butt out the door.  It seems so much harder for me to get my workouts in when I'm not on a schedule and have all day.  Anyway I finally got going and ran 10 miles.  My hamstrings were tight the entire time and honestly if I had a cellphone or was closer to home I would have ended early.  I just kept going and they started to feel looser towards the end.  10 miles, 7:55 AP.

20 minutes elliptical.

1 ice bath. :)

I got my confirmation e-mail from Boston this morning.  Boston Marathon 2012 here I come!!

brrrrr it is cold and dark in the morning and I don't like it!  5.5 miles running around in circles by my house.  My right hamstring is so tight it is ridiculous.  It will not loosen up no matter what I do.  It is like there is a huge knot that needs to be worked out.  I have never had a massage in my life but I am seriously conisdering it if this doesn't work its self out by next week.

PM:  1.5 miles at the gym, 20 minutes weights

weights (shoulders & chest), 14 minutes elliptical.

6 mile tempo run.  1 mile warm up 8:04, 4 miles @ 7:07 pace, 1 mile cooldown 8:04.  All at 1% incline.  This workout was a mini confidence booster as it felt fairly easy to maintain the tempo pace.  My confidence has been lacking since the Nebo half so I am glad to see a glimmer of hope. :)

I still think I am capable of 3:20 at SGM!!  Anyone else shooting for that time and want to work together? 

PM: 2 miles

Last long run.  First 8 miles were at about 8 minute pace and last 2 were 7:30 pace.  Overall this was not my favorite run.  My right hammy was surging so badly with pain I nearly stopped, but when I slowed down it hurt even worse so I just kept going.  I also wore my running skirt I wont at Utah Runner girls HM and chaffed like crazy.  I am just so glad I tried it out before the full marathon because that would not have been pretty.  Too bad because it is way cute.  Darn my stupid fat legs.

Anyway time to really taper and get these legs of mine feeling better.

PM: 2 miles, 7:37 pace. I know I am suppose to be tapering but after helping move my parents all day I just needed some stress relief. It is hard to leave the house I grew up in with so many memories of my brother. This little run felt great!
