Great run w/ Heather this morning.  But boy it felt like a Monday! We had to struggle to keep our pace up. I was ready for a good, hard run after slacking off last week.  I took a watch, ran for 1:02, but didn't drive the course- I'm going to guess 6.2, may have been longer.  It felt like 9:50ish pace.  Longest distance I've ran in over a week. Plan for tomorrow- weight class at gym.  I had to reschedule my PT appt. last Fri. since I had family in town so I'll determine the rest of my week after I schedule that!  Stressful week w/ work this week, closing mortgages end of the month, esp. stressful when banks play catch up after being closed so many days this month.  Hope to close a couple of these deals and put them behind me soon so I can relax a bit more in December!

3 miles w/ Sara tonight.  Felt too short, my fault for not adding more after I took Sara home.  Didn't make it to the gym, must go tomorrow! Plan for the am is foremaster hill repeats- 5 miles...

Well- my workout plan changed a few times for today- subject to my social life- ha ha! I know that's not how its supposed to work! Originally Sara & I were going to run hills, then Heather talked us into spin.  Sara is thinking about joining the gym so she was interested in spin.  I always have fun at spin and haven't been for awhile so I was down for it. Then Sara didn't show to pick me up for spin! (Can't blame her- babies frequently put a wrench is the 6am workouts)  So I went anyway and all the bikes were already taken (I was early too!)!!  So then I ended up on dreadmill in the theater room at the gym.  Actually got a pretty good workout.  Treadmill always forces me to take a closer look at my form, so I tried to work on that a bit.  Also I felt speedy today.  I got down under 8 min. miles for a few minutes, but didn't hold that long- my average was 9:07 including a minute of slower running to warm up.  I only ran 2.25 because I also wanted to get in some weights.  I did upper body & a little abs.  Feel good about my workout today, but wanting to log at least 13.5 more miles by end of week to get in my 25 miles.

UGH! I thought I was running a 4 miler with Sara today, then went back and clocked it and it was only 3.4.  I'm feeling depressed today about my mileage this week. Last week I let slide by in the name of Thankgiving, houseguests, ect.  But no excuse for this week!  At least I have a good long run planned for the morning w/ Heather.  And even if she bails or something comes up, I'm determined to get in my 6 miles tomorrow!  No more blah days!!!

Ah! What a great run this morning! Little Valley Loop w/ Heather.  We fit in 7 strides of about 15 seconds each.  Our average overall pace was 8:56.  I'm very happy with today's workout. 

Meeting w/ PT at 10am at gym, then running long with Sole Sisters & Jody tomorrow.  Worried that I'll be tuckered out for tomorrow's run after all the effort today (run & gym).  Just will have to try to eat good & get good sleep tonight.

Cloudy today, I heard there's rain the the forecast for today & tomorrow, hope it doesn't pour on us tomorrow morning!

I resisted the urge to sleep in on this rainy Saturday morning and it paid off! I had a great run with Jody! We did a foremaster loop (starting & ending at the gym) in the rain.  I was SOAKED by end of the run. I booked it home, showered and changed into some cuddly PJs & slippers to blog in.  After this entry I'm going back to bed until the rest of my sleepy family gets up!

This blog is great! So glad this blog put me in touch w/ Jody. She is an easygoing girl w/ a friendly smile and fun personality (cute hair too!) We had a great time chatting about our families , jobs, church  etc, etc.  Since she has family here and I have family in SLC, I know I'll get the chance to run w/ her again.   I think we did pretty good on our run- 5.4 in 55 min.  (10:11 pace) considering we were chatting and running up foremaster, not too shabby!

Yah! Just realized this run put me over my 25 miles for the week.  I'm glad, after a rough start this week (rough as in- I was lazy!)

Next week goal is 26 miles.  I know- you're thinking I'm really ambitious!! (ha)

Wow! Can't believe its Dec. 1st already!! Going to finish some Christmas shopping today and go to ward party tonight.

Have a great weekend everyone!
