4.7 mile foremaster (hilly) loop w/ Buff & Heather. Average pace 9:47. Felt fast, but I guess those hills slowed us down a little. Running w/ Buff really makes me step it up, she's fast! I was a little disappointed when I clocked the run after and it was only 4.7, I was hoping for 5 miles at least. Sure do hope Santa brings that Garmin so I can know these things while still running and not in my car driving the route- boy am I old school!
Later today went to gym for 1st mtg. with personal trainer. My early Christmas present to myself! She weighed & measured me, asked my goals and we talked about healthy eating. She's going to make a plan for me and I go again Wed. to start it. I'm excited! This trainer won 1st place in the Utah bodybuilding (fitness) competition and 5th in the nation. So I think she really knows her stuff and she looks great without looking bulky or manly. I should firm up some in 6 weeks I hope?!

| Patting myself on the back for getting out tonight! I slept in and missed my 6am run. No partner to run with this morning and no motivation to get out in the dark & cold. Then rushed to get kids to school, vote and onto Vegas for a mortgage convention. Didn't get back until late in afternoon. Hubby was a sweetie and shuffled kids around for me today and took care of dinner (pizza). After dinner and full of pizza I decided it was time to sneak away for a run. I'm usually wiped out by this time of day, but I felt good so I decided to go. It was a great evening run! One month after the marathon and I think this is the first run since the marathon where I have felt really good. It was dark and the temp was perfect and cool. I took the IPOD and elected not to take a watch-didn't want to worry about time tonight. I started off on one of my usual 4 mile routes knowing I would want to make it longer. I was able to extend it a mile making it into a nice new loop with a view! Looking forward to running this loop more often. |

Met at Heathers w/ Sara in tow and ran to track. Met up w/ Mik'L. We ran a couple laps to warm up, then 4 x 400s w/ 200 recovery in between. I liked this much better than 200s. I could slow down just a little, yet still work on speed for a full lap. My first 400 was my best 1:37, the rest were slower, about 1:41 or 1:42. Then we ran back to Heather's. These girls are so fun, we had a great time this morning.
If I have any energy later today I'll try to get in a couple more miles. Meeting w/ the trainer at 11am!
When am I going to fit in work around all this working out? Ha!

Met up w/ Sara this morning to run 4 miles. She is just starting to get into running (or maybe back into it?) She is doing great and completed her first 5k a couple weeks ago. I'm hoping we can get her up to running 5 & 6 miles w/ the group soon.
Plan for tomorrow is 5-6 on my own, a late morning run. I've been feeling myself burning out on running lately. Maybe its the "post marathoners"? Almost all of my runs have been social lately. I think maybe I need a few alone and without my watch to get the joy back in my step? Need some new race goals too. At this point I'm excited to run Moab 1/2 in March, but no other races are getting me excited before then. Still deciding if I'll do the Snow Canyon 5k next week or not... |

Wimpy day today. I procrastinated my run until almost dark and didn't have much time. Good thing I'm meeting Heather in the morning for 5-6. I think I'll barely make my 25 miles this week. Having motivation issues.
Can't wait until Monday to meet w/ personal trainer. I know I should have the will power to make myself eat & workout well by myself, but I just don't right now. I'm ready for her to kick my butt!
Later tomorrow morning- Turkey Trot w/ the family-really its just a glorified 1 mile walk- but the kids love it. |

Thanks to Lybi posting an inspiring quote by Wirthlin on her blog yesterday- I decided to get out my new conf. edition Ensign last night and read. It really lifted my spirit and thankfully carried over to this morning. I woke up refreshed and ready for a good run w/ Heather. We went 5.25 on a route I don't do very often which was a nice change from Foremaster. Heather is ALWAYS great company and has so many creative parenting ideas, I love to pick her brain during our runs. I felt smooth today and like I could have even gone a little faster. Didn't even take my watch so not sure of pace, but would guess right around 10 min. miles.
Then our family did the 1 mile Turkey Trot. This is Arielle's run (my 7 yr old) she gets dragged around to enough races during the rest of the year, this is her day to shine. She loves to set the pace w/ me. I stick by her and we ran/ walked it. After the raced they give out lots of raffle prizes. Our family won a seat cover massager. Can't wait to use it today.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall we're having!
