Walking today with 250 lunges.  It was rainy and snowy earlier in the day so I walked about 2 pm.  It was still a bit cold and windy, but felt good to get out and do something.

Another afternoon run.  I went to the Laverkin stake center and back and hit the Pah Tempe hill again on the way back.  Felt alot better this time than when I ran it with my dad last week. Last week I walked a few and today I ran the whole thing and kept a much better pace. The whole run I pushed myself.  I wish I would have worn my garmin.  I always push myself harder for some reason when I dont run with it.  That makes no sense.  Oh well.

I am feeling stronger everyday and am enjoying it alot!!!

Walking today with 250 lunges.  The last few times I have walked I have had shin splints pretty bad so today I tried my new orthotics (I had only ran with them until today) and I felt great.  My old ones were held together with duct tape.  I guess it is time to retire them. 

Felt good and love to get outside every day!!

Running today in the rain with my dad.  I cant remember ever running in the rain before and cant say I enjoyed it, didn't so much hate it either though.  There is supposed to be rain for the race this weekend so it was good initiation for me I suppose.

I have enjoyed running with my dad the last few times.  He lets me set the pace, (he says anyway) but I always feel faster.  Today was definatley a faster pace than normal and it felt great!!

Feeling stronger and loving it!!

WOO HOO!!!  I took over 6 minutes off of last years time!!!!!  I felt absolutely amazing.  It was perfect weather, a couple of wind gusts, but overall the temperature was great!!!  

I went out somewhat fast for me, but felt good so I kept the pace the whole way and it paid off!!  I have never ran so fast for so far.  I will be a true runner yet!!!  

67th overall for both men and woman (240 total runners I believe.)  Dont know the count for my place in just womens. 

Awesome!!!!!
