Slow Poke

Good run today to loosen up my legs.  I hiked the West Rim Trail in Zion yesterday (14.4) miles.  I am in better shape than I thought because only my feet and lower legs were sore, and not to sore. 

I got up to run this morning, just to make sure I didn't get to sore.  A bit tought to get going, but once I did, I felt great!!! 

I have been running again for a few weeks.  The first week, I ran ever other day (2 miles) and walked the other days.  I think I did that for 2 weeks, then last week, I think I ran every day.  Not 100% on that though. 

Same 3 as always.  A good hilly run, hopefully helping me get stronger.  I feel good and have no pain, so hopefully this time I can stay injury free for a long time!!!!!

Way windy and VERY cold this morning.  Only crazy people run in weather like that.  (Count me in on crazy). 

Been getting up early to run while my daughter sleeps.  It is getting to dark to early to go at night and it feels good to start the day off with a run. 

Very stoked about running again.  I am gonna ease into things this time.  I am a bit scared about getting hurt again.

Not much changes in my running (still).  Same 3 mile loop.  Got a couple good hills (good, cuz they are short) but they are hills regardless. 

No pain, feel good.  Hope to stay injury free and up the miles soon!!!

Happy to be doing it!!

Out and back to the Laverkin stake center.  I have only run this way one other time since I started running again (and can't remember which day that was for sure). 

I felt good. 

I have never won anything before at a run.  I think I only beat one other person in my age division, but hey, that is cool.  I was the 2nd woman by only about 10-20 seconds. 

If it was a true 5k, I ran about a minute faster than the best time I had before.  YEAH!!

It was a fun run, and good to have the family involved!!

4, I think.  I still haven't ran this route with my Garmin, but I know it is close to 4.  Anyway, felt good and am feeling stronger.  I try to push myself up the hills rather than slowing down, like I have done in the past.  I hope I am improving and they don't seem to hurt as bad.  That is good.

My dad ran the course from saturdays run and it was a bit short.  I am still happy with my time though.

Up early to run this morning.  Got up at 5:55 and headed out at 6.  The plan was to go 6 or so to make sure I am ready for the 10k this weekend.  I headed out to where I thought was close to 3, but when I got home my dad told me the turn around was 3.5.  I drove it to make sure and it was.  I should wear my garmin and I would know for sure, but my excuse today was I didn't wake up in time for it to calibrate or whatever it has to do before it works. 

Anyway, I felt really good and it only took me a few minutes over an hour.  That is right about  9's which I am very happy with at this point. 

Happy to be at it again!!!!!!!!!!!

My hip was uncomfortable yesterday for some reason, so I thought running might hurt.  It didn't though, YEAH!!  I went the same 4 as always.  I tried speeding up a block at a time today.  I doubt that is considered speed work, but I hope things like that will help me get stronger and maybe even faster in the long run. 

I am VERY happy to be out there again and running. 

Had to get up and get the blood flowing today.  People say you should take a day off, the day before a run, but I didn't.  I feel way to groggy and yucky when I don't run.

Anyway, took it easy (like always).  Same 3, couple of hills.  Feel good.

Excited for Butch Cassidy tomorrow, but not looking forward to the late start.  Oh well.
