| | Went out @8a.m. It was slower run, 9:07 average pace. Major mental issues today I ran 3 three mile runs, a half mule run, pause & call rex for him to say I'm doing great, 2.5 miles is no biggie & I ran home! Whew! | |

| | Ran @ 6am w/Alana - we started our first mile @ 9:18 pace and then kept the pace around a 9 min mile (a few in between were faster, but still, slower run - again). My right shin began hurting at mile 4. This bothers me, but I realized how fast I jumped my miles so I am going to try and keep miles, just lower this week. Ice and do my PT stretches and exercises. |

| | Went out with Shelley - such a beautiful morning! My shin still hurt, but it was my i-t band to stop me. I tried stretching it out, could get a half mile, then go again. But then I it locked up with sharp pain that I stopped straight up! Shelley was good to just walk 1/2 mile back to her car and take me home. Easy does it for me, I know I will be strong, just need to listen to my body! | |

| | Ran this morning with music and by myself. Wasn't sure how far I would be able to go. I went out and looped Freeman, thinking it might just be a 4 mile run, but was feeling good so I included the river to make it 6 for the morning. Not sure what my plan is tomorrow morning, just going with the flow at this point - and oddly enough, I'm just fine with that! Love summer break! |

| | Alana was gracious enough to watch and feed the girls while I went out this afternoon (hot) and ran. Was dragging the first 4 miles, gelled and then did great until mile 9, when I went to gel again, it must have dropped out :( I slugged my last 4 miles back to her house, where she made me a shake and we visited all afternoon - knee, shins, legs felt good! Tired from yesterdays run, but happy summer to us! | |

| | on the TM @ 11:00 a.m. Alana always jokes that it is tough to run at an odd time, but this 3 miles was seriously hard. Emma and Ali ran around a corned and crashed into each other at .75, then emma called to me b/c my calendar was going off on my phone at 1.48, (went upstairs to turn off) back onto the TM for last mile and half - SIGH, this single parent thing can be tough on workouts for sure! |

after a sleep over at the Well's house, Alana and I went for an 8 mile - seriously, after doing HER yoga class twice this week, I must have been spent. I gave it my all out there for a 9 minute mile pace!! WOW, good training, just keeping going :) beautiful morning!! After 2.5 hours at the pool, took care of front & back lawn (moe), ran Emma to 4H, Ali to my folks, then met up with Elly Mae in the hills for hills/trails. WOW what a work out. We went out at 6:30 and it was 87 degrees last I had checked. I was dripping head to toe and one happy woman - I think I will rest tomorrow. Rex comes back from church camp and I have to go take care of Granny Bell's lawn/yard work for her in the morning. WHEW - summer break is good. |

| | What an amazing morning! Alana and I ran 6 miles then met up with Shelley @ the bank and ran another 9 miles together - 8:52 was my average pace and everything felt GREAT. I was due for a feel good all over run :) so encouraging. Listening to worship music right now, so grateful for a healthy body and spirit! Off to church with the family, possibly a BBQ later with my folks and grandparents - | |
