| Finally got ten in. Broken up miles, but I got them in. AM: Went to the TM to do MMGW, got 4 miles in and almost exploded from the heat of the gym. PM: Went back to the gym and did the second half of MMGW. I discovered the mother's room. Two TM's and a large fan. Turned the fan on and felt much cooler than the first run of the day. Mom's room also has a wide selection of toys...If I get bored on the TM, you just might guess where I may be... |

| Another set of broken up miles. I went with two girls that live on my street for five miles on the base. They complained the whole time, kept commenting on how fast I was going (9 mm), and told me they hated looking at the back of me the the whole time because I was dragging them. SERIOUSLY? Where are the die hards that don't sit and complain? We were hardly moving. Anyway, people here are just not the same as back home. I need a RAD clone! 7 miles on the TM at the gym later. Did a little speed work, not enough to call it speed work. How is it back home it is easy to get 50 miles in per week? Here, I barely pull 40 and it's like pulling teeth. |

| Random miles for the day. Went running in the AM with Amy and her dog Abby. The conversation was good and we went 5 miles. Easy run, COLD. I actually had to break out my running tights! 4 miles on the TM. Wanted to do some speed but again, I got sick. An older man that works at the gym got mad at me because I was working out in the mother's room and I didn't have any kids with me. Hmmmm, I argued with him a little since I was the only one in the room and it's the only TM with a fan to keep me cool. Whatever, I just stayed in there. Leg lifting stuff for about a half an hour. 2 more slow miles on the TM. |

My husband agreed to drive me six hours to watch the Olympic Marathon trials in Houston. I hope we get to see the athletes AND he doesn't think I'm a total dweeb for wanting to go! I'm pumped. :) 7 miles in the parent's room on the TM. Got yelled at for being in there again. They are going to ask the gym director if it's okay if I'm in there...

| 12 slow miles around the base. 2 miles by myself. 10 with the running ladies. The run was soooo much better than last week's run. I think it's because we're into the week and back to running after the Holiday break. They seemed to enjoy the run a lot more, as did I! David and I leave tonight to watch the Olympic Marathon trials, how cool it that? I'm pretty excited! |

I actually tried really hard to do a speed session on the TM and it didn't work out :(. Speed=morning Rebecca. I need to try and run these harder speed sessions before I eat anything. I was feeling great (my legs), but my stomach would not cooperate! Dorked around the weight room instead.... Did plenty arm rep things. Let's face it, I pretend I know what I'm doing until something burns in my muscles and I move on.

I am gaining a lot of miles and less speed... :\ Told them today I would rather run with people than alone, even if it does destroy my speed for the moment.

Started at 7.5 for 1 min. went up to 8.5 for one min. Back down to 7.5 for one min. Worked up to 9.5. I really liked the little speed work session I did. Arm rep stuff. Calf raises. Abs. Bridges. Stretches. Beautiful day in the Del... :) |

Texas Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:38:32, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 1 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 4.00 | 13.10 | 17.10 |
| I drove 7.5 hours with my two friends to the Texas Half Marathon in Dallas. The drive was LONG. I swore that I would never drive that far to race anything less than a marathon, but where I live I have to drive a very long way to get to any city. Dallas was COLD!!! It was 34 with a wind chill. I had planned to wear my tank top and skirt. Ended up wearing a garbage bag for the first three miles and I never took my long sleeve shirt off. My friends were very antsy at the start of the race, I could tell they were rather nervous. I just tried to relax and not really think about anything major, just thought about running 13.1... I took a mile warm-up to shake out the nerves. Race started and I was pretty far back. I crossed the start a minute and a half after the gun went off. The first mile was all about weaving outside of the main traffic jam. I ran upside the hill onto the grass and passed the masses. Mile 1: 7:28 Pulled over and tied my shoe that had the chip on it. Really? Mile 2: 7:07 Mile 3: 7:28 Extremely windy at this point. Found a tall man and ran behind him for about a half mile... I have been doing this when I run with David, so I am used to drafting off someone else. :) This kind of annoyed the guy, I just wasn't ready to chick him yet. Mile 4: 7:44 A relatively large hill for someone that trains on flat surfaces... Nothing like Utah hills... It was just a challenge for me to climb that thing in the crazy wind. Mile 5: 7:30 Starting to finally get into some kind of groove. Mile 6: 7:29 Mile 7: 7:53 Stopped and gooed, guess that is why I am slow? Starting to see a lady in blue to catch. Mile 8: 7:29 Caught the lady. Now I have some kind of competition to keep up with. Mile 9: 7:36 Out of the wind, goo kicking in. My timing chip comes off!!! Grrr. I have to stop and fix it on a shaky bridge. Mile 10: 7:25 Feel good. Shoe comes untied again!!!!! I double knot the dang thing, girl in blue passes me plus another slow looking chick. Time to get angry. Mile 11: 7:10 Catch those girls and keep them behind me. Mile 12: 7:43 Back into the wind we go heading uphill. Mile 13: 7:04 Last .1 was up a big hill. NO sprint up this thing. Felt great when I finished and I ran back to my friends. Caught them at mile 12, ran with one of them for her last mile. She took 11 minutes off her last race time. We all had a great race. The awards ceremony quickly started after we arrived at the finish, and so we didn't have to wait around forever. Food at the finish was also delicious. This race motivated me to want to train harder for upcoming races in the Texas area. The scenery of the race was very beautiful as well. We did all 13.1 around a nice clean lake. I would recommend this race and if I am here next year I might do it again. |

Exciting day at the Lasano fitness center. First off, I went to the running clinic at the HAWC (Health and Wellness Center). They offer a lot of great things like running analysis, body fat testing, a sports nutritionist (free), and much more. I need to be taking advantage of all the FREE help they offer to the military. I better hurry before they cut that stuff out of the budget like they do so many other services. Today we discussed the importance of the mid-strike of the foot while running. We practiced what it feels like to propel your body forward and to run on the balls of your feet while cutting out the heel strike. As I did this, I felt myself glide across the gym floor. Running was A LOT more efficient practicing this. We watched this. Went to TM class and I focused on the technique we had just learned about. 5 min warmup. 30 second sprint, 90 second recovery repeat 5X Run at base and add 1% incline every minute for five minutes Sprint on an incline for 30 seconds, recover 90 seconds, repeat 5X Recover 5 minutes. I did some lifting, 100 sit ups. Went back to the TM for another 4 miles. Started at 7.5 and went up on the TM every quarter mile until I was at 8. Started the series again. Cool down for 1 mile.

| I decided that I was going to long run today... Didn't know how long, just knew it had to be long because I didn't run yesterday. Before I left this morning I decided to download a few podcasts because I tend to enjoy long runs when people are talking. I downloaded a podcast about training for your first marathon, which was okay. If anyone has any suggestions on a GOOD, HIGH LEVEL (not for beginner runners) running podacst, please let me know about it! Did my first 6 mile loop like a gem. 8:32 AP Came home took a drink and headed out for a 5 mile loop before my visiting teachers came by at 10:15. Got back at 10:15 on the dot and I guess they already came and went??? Sent me a text wondering where I was. 8:15 AP Back out for another 6. 8:25 AP Extremely muggy and rather warm today, planes weren't really flying. I looked at my e-mail this morning and they had canceled the running group due to the weather. Really??? I thought it was rather fine. Didn't know running gets canceled EVER due to weather. Plus they were only doing up to 6 miles this morning. Glad I didn't get out of bed to make a showing there. :) |

| I talked to RAD about what was going on in my leg. She is no PT, I know this, but we have shared the common interest of the stress fracture... She encouraged me to run the TM on a 6% incline as she has done the past few weeks. I gave it a go... No or little pain. I ran 6 miles on the TM a little faster than a 10 mm. I really think there is something strange going on in the hip area. It's on the outside of the right quad. 30 minutes on the stairs. |

| Ran the base 5k today. The age group winners got BOSA balls for the prize so I was totally in this for the win. :) Splits: 6:33, 7:33, 7:37.... Ha! Can't say that was the best split version of a 5k. Husband laughed when I told him my splits. He did great, 3rd overall with a time of 18:08. Pretty good for not running many miles, I would say. My legs felt completely sluggish today, like lead blocks. I don't know if I am super tired lately or the hill work I have done has killed them over. After the race my hip was acting up again so I called it a day. Low mileage week. |

Ian Adamson (7x World Champion of Adventure Racing, Bad Water Masters division winner, 200 x triathlon pro athlete) came to little old Laughlin Airforce Base to give a FREE running clinic this past week. I had the opportunity to listen to him lecture about everything running for two days. His main focus was to teach about Natural Running and Newton shoes. I think I am baptized to the forefoot shoes that he had us train in and buy if we wanted to. www.formartz.com/Pages/adventure.html (Just a link about Ian). Such an amazing experience to run with a world class athlete and have him analyze my gait. I am thinking about becoming a Newton coach as well. I am also ready to throw all of my shoes away that are not close to zero drop. ;)

I got a few in on the TM. Needless to say it was really hot and I will be going back later to finish my workout. Felt pretty gross. Went back to the gym... 1 mile WU. 1 mile repeats 5X @ 7:00 mm, last mile around 6:40 1 mile cool down. I felt good about this workout. If my long run goes as planned, I think I will pull this marathon off. I think my goal is just to BQ. |

I was suppose to go slow on this run. Maybe I just wanted the darn thing to be over with. 5 around the base. Not the usual 5... Out to the poop pond and back. Got my body fat % today in the BodPod. :( 8 weeks to bring that number down!

| LSD in Del Rio. AP: 8:43 Started out at my house and ran toward the West gate of the base. The West gate closes at 8 a.m. and I barely made it before the gate closed. Ran down to the highway where my running journey would continue. Yes, I ran on the shoulder of the highway for 12 miles. Ran North toward Del Rio (6 miles). At mile 6, I stopped to GU and someone actually pulled over to see if I was OK. Texans are sweet, even though the fellow frightened me a bit. I ran along side a border road (where boarder patrol catches illegals),and hoped they wouldn't get mad at me. Made it to Del Rio city and stopped at a gas station to fill my water bottle. Continued East on the highway that goes to San Antonio. The entire 6 miles was in a head wind, nothing new to me. Scenery was ugly. I watched airplanes in the sky wondering if my husband was flying one. Made it back to the base (Main entrance), and the guard asked for my ID and how far I had ran. I told him I was at mile 14, he about passed out. The other guard mentioned he saw me earlier at the West gate. They were both amazed. Last happy two miles on base. :) No running companions this morning. My friend Elyse wanted me to do 3 miles with her and when I got to her house there was no answer. People do not understand the run! |

| Ran with David and his friend Jeff 10 miles around the base. Humidity was only 30%, not 70% like it was on Thursday. This run felt so nice and easy. AP: 8:20. David kept telling me to slow down. 12 mile bike ride with David, Jeff, and Joe. They completely smoked me on the bike and took off at an easy pace. This was discouraging because David kept asking me what was wrong and why I couldn't keep up. Just told him they were too fast. I am doing something wrong on my bike. |

| I had the perfect run this morning, no lie. 3 mile warm up with Elyse in the pitch black, stars were beautiful and the big orange Texas moon was lowering on the horizon. Dropped Elyse off and went another 7. I paid no attention to my watch but I was surprised that when I got home each mile was progressively faster. Today and tomorrow's runs are really just to shake things out for the marathon next week. Humidity and temperature was perfect. |

| Race Report: I was planning to do the marathon at an 8:20 pace, that isn't much to ask for. Weather was 80 degrees at the start and extremely humid. When we got to the race in Groveton there were about 300 runners running the half or the full marathon. I hadn't realized the course was an out and back TWICE for the marathon. Started out feeling fine. By mile 6, I was already really warm and not feeling very fresh. 80 degrees and lots of humidity takes the running spirits right out of you. We turned around and headed straight into a headwind. I decided at the half I would call it a good effort. :) All of my splits were right on the money... 8:20 ish pace. I had a lot of fun running with David and spending some quality time with him during the weekend. I need to start training better and obtaining new goals. All of the nice races here are in the winter months. I have to drive between 6-8 hours to get to any of them. There aren't any races they drive you to the top of the mountain and let you run down the hill. Oh how I miss the mountains of Utah. |

I had so much fun at this race!!! I think I can put this race as one of my top ten favorites! The race itself was supposed to be a surprise course, with challenges that are kept a secret. So we did not receive any information about the course and rules until the day of the race. Each team consisted of 4-8 members. David, Joe, Jeff, and I made up an extreme team of 4 people, so we weren't going to do a relay race. The bike portion of the race was 23 miles on a new highway, and part of a busy highway down to the lake. We took off on the bike drafting off of each other and powering down the road. We passed probably 15 teams and then Joe got a flat. We quickly pulled over to the side of the road and Jeff took the tire apart. Well, it wasn't just a fast tire change. We had to change the tire three times. By that time all of the teams had caught up to us, plus more. We got to the exchange point where we were to put our bikes in the car and change our shoes. WELL, sadly, our driver was nowhere to be found. We gave him a call and he was about 15-20 minutes away. Grrrrr. By the time our driver showed, we really didn't care too much about the race. We started the run at about a 7mm, I quickly gued so I could keep up with the men. During the run they had secret challenges we had to do. We had to scoot through a 7 ft plastic tube, carry a railroad tie, push a big tire around and shoot a paintball gun. After the run the guys had to raft a mile on the lake. I just had to launch and retreat the raft, no rafting for me. After they got out of the water, we ran up the dock and toward a wall we had to climb over. We climbed over the wall and finished. Later we learned that we had passed the winners while we were on the bike, back at about mile 8. We were sad about the outcome of the race but we had so much DANG fun! I LOVED racing with my husband on my team. Great day in Del Rio.

| 15 miles in the Rio. Very warm and humid out, BUT I was blessed with a breezy wind. Yes, this was that wind that I have complained about during some of my earlier runs, not today. 8 miles alone on the sleeping base. I saw snake #1 as I headed out from the West gate, it made me about cry. I HATE snakes. I saw snake #2 as I headed toward the West gate the second time. I screamed and ran away as fast as I could. Both snakes were very long (3 feet), and they were black. I found 5 golf balls on my way home as I ran past the golf course and picked up three to add to David and I's golf ball collection. We have now found 10 golf balls total for our collection. I went back to the house and got David. We ran the next 7 miles together. We saw snake #3 by the poop pound. :( I was proud that I had actually picked up the pace and I didn't complain. I enjoyed listening to David talk about T-38s (the new jet he will be flying). 8:32 AP |

| Stepped out of my house this morning and got into a blanket of heat. The humidity just seems to not go away. Luckily, the breeze from the East was there. 4 miles with my friend Marshelle. We ran a good clip together while we chatted. I hope she agrees to running with me often. :) 8 miles alone including a "hill" segment. Not much to the Laughlin hill, but I will try to make the best out of the situation. I am one week 2 of 12 in training for Des News Marathon. I don't know what is going to happen. Goal: To top out at 70 miles in peak training, not get injured, PR the Des News course. I ran the course in 2007 in 3:45. My journey is just beginning. |

Legs were still super sore when I woke up this morning. 6 miles alone. I only saw one snake today and it was a baby. :) Got to my house to pick up David and took Shot Blocks, Gatorade, and SaltStick. I was a sweaty mess. First three miles with David were good and then I had an emotional breakdown. Yes, I started crying and craving a run with girls that go my speed. Sorry David. I do love running with my husband but some days it is hard for me to strike up a conversation with him while we run. Sometimes I get so concerned how fast we are going I forget to relax. Anyway, the humidity was doing me in and I cried. He told me to relax and that I was doing great. We ran 2 more miles. 6 total miles together. He dropped me off at the house and I tried to call Elyse to go out for 5 miles, she didn't pick up. I stood in my house and debated whether or not I was going to pick myself off the floor and get outside. I finally did. Schedule called for 17 miles but I called it a day at 16 and walked a mile home. Sure this sounds pathetic but I need to mentally get in the game of my long runs. Yes, they are hard and yes, I can do them! Ice bath. I blame my sore legs on the weights I did this week. Next week I will go easier on the weights.

| Workout was to do 9 miles. I had to babysit at 7 a.m. It takes me 30 minutes to get to work so therefore, I had no time for running. Took the kids to the gym at mommy/kid land. Brody stayed in the kid pen watching a show like a big boy and Lily (7 months) laid in her car seat crying. Nope, I didn't manage to get the 9 in. What will motherhood be like??? |

| Woke up to a BIG Texas rain storm. It was pouring outside! There was so much lightening the entire morning, it was unsafe to go outside. Cooled the area down. :) Headed to the TM to get miles in. Managed to get 10 in before I thought I was suppose to go to work. Came home, no work for me. I hate getting up early for no reason. 2 miles to and from the gym in the evening. Did a weight session that felt better than last week. Left leg in A LOT of pain. POOP! |

| Today Laughlin had a fun little race to celebrate Diversity Day here at the base. I REALLY was not planning to race today, but I couldn't calm the horses down! I warmed up and my hip was killing. When we were off, the pain went away briefly in my mind. I got really excited and I was easily the leading girl, so I had to hold my pace, right? AP for the race was 7:20. I got a hard time from some of the leading men because I couldn't keep up with them. I told them they were just getting faster and they laughed. 1 mile cool down. 1 mile run to the gym. Did my weight session and felt really fatigued. I want to get faster and I don't feel like I am. |

| Woke up today to another BIG Texas storm! Husband had gone running at 4 a.m. and I was worried about him being in the lightening storm. Workout called for 13 miles.... ALMOST got there on the TM. Right at 12.6 I had to stop and go to the restroom, dang. Oh well, I did it. Last 5 miles were at a very nice pace. :) My shirt was dripping and I rung it out various times on the TM. Nasty. |

| Woke up pretty early before work to get my run in. I have been sick (head cold) and I have not been able to sleep. I made it half way down our street and turned around. One more hour of sleep time. Pretty fast TM in the baby room. Lily didn't mind my run so I took advantage of her sitting in her car seat looking tired. Happy I got this done! Mile repeat splits were a little over 7 mm. |

This was suppose to be 18 miles... Didn't make it. I needed to face the facts and go home. My head cold is getting to me. Yes, I bummed about this run, oh well. There was no more my body could give. Will a long run still count if I go out and do 8 more tonight? 1 up to gym, 6 miles on TM, 1 back home. Got my 18. |

| Med. long run today. Sooo happy I got it out of the way this morning. Met Marshelle after one mile and picked Elyse up after 1.5 with Marshelle. We waited about 5 minutes before Elyse got out the door so we ran up the street and back. 1.5 more with Marshelle, 2 more with Elyse at a pretty darn slow pace. Ran 8 or something more by myself and knocked up my pace so I could be 9 AP by the end of the 15 miles. Ran down to the poop pond and my body was engulfed by small little black flying creatures. So gross! They would stick to my sweat, so by the time I was done with the run I was covered in little dead bugs. :( |

| Pretty decent long run. AP 8:20s 8.2 two miles by myself on a quiet base. I think I saw one car while I was running alone. I made 2-3 mile circles back to my water and salt tablets. Drinking that much was necessary due to the high humidity. Came home and changed my shirt before we left, it was already soaked and starting to chafe me. Last 9 were with David and I was still feeling good. :) 8:07 pace for the last 9. We discovered a new trail about a mile long today, which was pleasant to run on. |

| Really lame morning... I could not move my body faster than a 10 mm. I ran 4 miles with David extremely slow and called a morning. Got back in bed and slept for another two hours. That was after I slept in until 8. Really? Why does my body have to be lame-o sometimes? Went out and ran a mile to the gym and 9 on the TM. Ran a mile home. Happy to get miles in, even if they were broken up. |

I had to drop my car off to get the oil changed and ran a mile up to the gym. 7 miles on the TM (I am a total baby), even in the gym I just drip sweat. 1 mile back home. Outside miles 8:30 AP, TM miles 8:00 AP. Glad this run is out of the way. I will have to start running at 5:30 again if I want outside miles. |

| Schedule called for a 21 miler. I just did NOT want to think about this run until I had to do it. Alarm went off at 5:30. Hit snooze and didn't start my run until 6:40. On the base I run in loops, tangents, circles, point to points, and to and from the gym. Sometimes I go past the same spot up to six times on a run. I HAVE to keep my brain thinking about long runs in short mileage sections or else I just blow up. Ran 3.75 from my house out to the Main gate and back to my water corner. Ran 2.25 From the corner up to the gym via the West housing loop. Picked up David, drank Gatorade and took a GU. We ran out to the poop pond, around it and made it to the warm drinking fountain in 3 miles. We ran along the flight line (1 mile), up to the gym, out to the West gate, and back to our house for a total of 3 miles. I came home and changed my entire soaking wet running outfit, drank Gatorade, and took another GU. Ran to the track, 1 mile around the track, 3 miles on the TM (house of refuge), and 1 mile back home. It all totaled out to be 20 miles. 8:20 AP. Legs felt absolutely terrific. I am so so so so proud of my workouts, miles, and motivation this week. My running doesn't always feel this great. :) |

While I was running around the poop pond, I ran over a branch that went straight through my shoe. Evil spiky branches. |

| Ran ONE mile outside and I was sweating. This humidity needs to kick over quickly! I am afraid Texas will be like this from here on out the rest of the summer. :( 8 miles on the TM with a progressive workout. 1 mile home in a headwind. It's either extremely humid and hot one direction or you have to deal with the beast from the East headwind. Only 3 more weeks until I get to run in Utah. |

| 16 miles around the base. At mile 2 there was a police officer that told me I could not wear my ipod around the base... Only on the running trail that goes around the housing (3 miles total). Ummmmmm, OK?? Dear Officer, Have you ever tried to run 15-20 miles in silence? Yeah, that's what I thought. I will take my earphones out when you approaching, other than that, I will probably be "sneaking" my music. Thank you for the safety concern, now I will be safer on the sidewalk as I run. :) -Your Confused but safe runner. P.S. They should make this a law on all streets everywhere, there would be far less fatalities. AP: 8:30 Shirt change at mile 7. |

| AM: Ran to the gym. Got to the gym and they were doing ID checks to get in. Of course I did not have my ID to get in, but they let me in anyway. 5 progressive miles on the TM. They lady on the TM was going pretty fast and I wanted to keep up with her. I enjoyed the motivation. PM: Plan was to run to the gym, do a weight session and run 1 mile on the TM. ID check again and I didn't have my ID. Grrrr, they wouldn't let me in this time, so I ventured to the track. By this time it was 100+ outside with a MASSIVE headwind. This run only made me stronger. |

| Muggy, overcast, and kind of cool out. The BEAST from the EAST headwind is STILL making it's debut. Ran around the base in Becca style. Wore ear phones here and there, journey only to where there is a drinking fountain. I wanted to go to the gym, but they were doing ID checks AGAIN. Didn't chance it this time. AP: 8:15. This was a more difficult run for me. Happy Birthday to my sweet husband David! Off to Girl's Camp. Heaven help me. |

| It's just too hot around here!!!! Started running and at 2.5 I had to stop and walk... Just then Col. Peters (fast old running man) saw me in his car and pulled over. He was laughing so hard at me and said, "I really like your pace, you sure are going fast!" He is just full of sarcasm. Anyway, at least I started running again after I saw him. I got to the gym after 4 miles and I needed a drink. I guess a big drink because I sat at the fountain gulping the water. I was dripping everywhere, I was such a mess. Ran 5 miles on a TM next to a mom I chatted with the whole time. It felt so nice to run next to someone just talking about stuff, it made the time fly by a lot faster. Ran 1 mile home and guzzled Gatorade until I had a massive belly ache. Running doesn't feel to great as of lately. |

| 7 miles around the base. Knee felt so much better. I have no idea why my knee had an extreme phantom pain yesterday. I took my nice water bottle and planted it by the West gate entry of the base. By the time I reached mile 4, my bottle was gone! The only people that had driven by were Security Forces. They really took my nice water bottle, really? They are out to get me. No music, and now no water? They are just keepin' the base a safe place I guess. Last 3 miles were with Marshelle. I was so excited to run with someone I kept going faster. She probably thought I was nuts. |

| Great 20 miler this morning. There was a cool breeze and a little bit of an overcast. First 10 miles rocked. I stopped three time (quickly) to Gatorade (2x) and GU (1x). Picked up David and my pace felt like it fell, but it didn't. Going West nearly killed me over and I kept stopping to cool down, it was frustrating. Got home and stood in my kitchen for about 10 min to cool down and chew on ice. (mile 17) Went out and did the remainder 3. Good times, happy that is over! 8:10-8:20 AP. 3 shirt changes today. |

I ran with Lilly, Rachelle, and RAD. :) I had so much fun chatting away the time with these speedy ladies.

Speaking of fire, we ran where the fire had swept and it was amazing to see all of the homes that were saved by the Firemen. Seriously crazy. Ran back down the beautiful hills back to Rachel's house. We chatted for a long time after the run. So nice to spend some time with her on a killer run. |

Oh boy, where do I begin with this adventure? My mom is 59 and had the desire to participate in the Lavender Days 5k. I saw there was a half marathon and my running schedule called for a 13 miler. This would be a great chance for me to get my mom a little more involved. We spent the night in Spanish Fork at my cousin's house. We arrived at their home at 10 pm and didn't get to be until 12:30. I didn't sleep until one and woke up to my mom having some kind of a health problem. Possibly a stroke? I have had no idea, I was ready to call 911. After a few minutes she seemed okay and had calmed down a little. I didn't know if she would be okay to walk the 5k. We got to the farm at 6:00 and I ran onto one of the last buses to get up to the start. I got there, used the bathroom and went and stood behind the start line. SMALL race with a lot of fast runners. My legs and body didn't feel like moving at an amazing fast pace, so I decided to take it easy and not kill myself. Tempo and marathon pace at the least was my goal. Splits were okay the first six miles, then we hit the uphill. Mile 10 we were still going uphill, mile 11 we were now going really uphill. I stopped a few times. Last mile and a half were downhill. :) I finished the race and my mom was there cheering me in at the end. :) I could tell she had a good time and finished strong! I was WAY more proud of her than I was for myself. I really had a bad day out there. This race just made me feel out of shape. I was going slow but I was really struggling. Very discouraging for the upcoming marathon. Oh well, nothing I can do at this point. I have never trained as hard as I have for a marathon and I feel like my pace is just slowing.

| 8 miles with the girls and Mike on the JRP. I pleased to run a little bit with RAD's sweet sister QP from the blog. She made me laugh when she told us about her treasure chest of random things she finds on her runs. Every pirate has to have a treasure chest, right? Rachel (beast lady on the bike) rode to JRP and after a 1 mile warm up kicked into some crazy tempo mileage with me. It felt so good out and the company was so grand, our legs were just speeding up. We had to force ourselves to slow down. Rachel always kicks it the last mile and she pushed me to the end with her quick stride. Just hope she plans to do the same for me at the upcoming marathon. I just hope I won't be being a big baby that day. Fun times. I love Utah running! So fun to spend time with Smooth and Wendy too. :) |

| Another great day on the TM. Everyone in the gym was in PT clothes, guess this I really do workout at a military gym. Guess crazy when you look around and everyone is in matching workout clothes. I think I might buy a pair, or just borrow my husband's. TM workout was simple. Started at 6.8 and knocked up the speed every quarter mile. When I reached 8.5, I proceeded to knock the speed down every quarter. I liked this workout. | |

| For the most part, I feel really safe running on the Air Force base that I live on. We are about five miles from the border of Mexico. I have heard that there have been illegals on the base because they see the lights and the water tower and they think they are in Del Rio. My husband has been asked by Border Patrol as he was running on base if he had seen illegals on his route. Yesterday there were 132 inmates that escaped from a prison in Mexico about 50 miles away from where we live. I get nervous about running in the dark at 6 in the morning. The most frightening things I have seen on base are snakes and skunks. If I encountered illegals, I might pee my pants and run as fast as I can. Anyway, just blogging my thoughts. 7 miles in the dark 8:21 pace | |

| I think I am mean babysitter when it comes to running and the little one I watch. She mostly cries, look bored, and gets scared by anyone else that runs on a TM by me. 7 miles in the baby room. I also woke up this morning and did a few cross fir workouts and stretched for 30 minutes. About 50% of my flexibility is gone since I stopped teaching dance last year. My hamstrings I think are beyond repair. :( | |

10k race in Del Rio!!! David and I decided that we would race today. He registered for the 5k and I registered for the 10k. Both races were $20. I don't think I have ever paid $20 for a race at late registration, nice. This was a chipped time race, rare for Del Rio... The chips went around the ankle and were extremely uncomfortable. By the time David and I had warmed up I knew the chip would cause a case of chafing. By the end of the 10k, sure enough, I had chafing around my ankle from the stupid chip. Starting line.... They had mats to run across at the start line BUT they were not set out. They also had a mass start and told the 10k folk to go clear to the back....???? I stayed at the back of the 5k mass. This really bothered me since I had to swim through the 5k folk when the race started. Started running and it was going well until my left shoe was untied. Lame. Had to pull over. It wasn't until well past a mile I noticed I had not started my watch! Rookie mistakes! What was I thinking? The course was challenging, I won't lie. Lots of rolling hills and of course the Beast from the East Texas wind making it's appearance. I maintained the lead for the women for the entire race. I think I was 4th overall. I walked a little at mile 4.5 to let my heart rate fall. Finished in 46 min or a little under. I was actually pleased with my time and performance today. David took 2nd at the 5k with a 19:12 or something like that. I was proud of the hubby for coming off of one of the most stressful years of his life and still being able to run so strong. He really amazes me. We waited around for the results for 2 HOURS!!!!! Then the RD said they had a mis-hap with the results and sent EVERYONE home. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Sadly, I was not surprised. Del Rio for ya. Pretty sad that those that performed extremely well did not get recognized. The winner of the 10k ran it in 33 minutes. He was from a running club in Mexico. Too bad I can't hop the border to go and run with what seemed a pretty decent running club.

| Looks like we will be staying 260 miles from anywhere (Del Rio) for another 3-4 years. Seesh, it's not as bad as it sounds. 10 miles on the TM since it was 80 outside with 80% humidity. I just wasn't in the mood to face that. Went downtown to Del Rio to check out a Zumbathon. Totally lame. There were about 10-15 people standing in the rain by a stage. I didn't really know if they were planning to dance/workout or not?? My friend and I left and drove home. I get Zumba certified next week. I hope to put a kick butt class together and teach somewhere in Del Rio a few times a week. It will be a great change from running. My husband was selected in his class flight to be an Instructor Pilot here. I am really proud of the hard work he has already put in this last year. They don't select the weak to be instructors. I think he will rock!!! On a positive side to staying in Del Rio, he will be less likely to deploy. I get to see my husband a little bit most days. :) He will still be putting in 12+ hours everyday. Another positive note is that we will be staying in San Antonio for a few months. HELLOOOOO running clubs. :) For sure I will find some runners in the city, I just have to. |

Base Halloween 5k (3.1 Miles) 00:21:55, Place overall: 1 | | Slow miles | Fast miles | Total Distance | | 2.50 | 3.10 | 5.60 |
| Base 5k today! David and I registered and waited around for the 9:30 race start for about an hour. As usual, there were hardly any runners. Over the past year, the races have been getting less and less people. So sad, the workers that run the races don't care and they don't really advertise. The weather had dropped from 90 to 60 in a day so it felt very cold to us! David and I warmed up a little and watched the little kids run an 800 meter race on the track. They gave the kids prizes and then had us line up for the race. The race course is always the same, so we knew where we were off to. I actually felt really good for most of the race. I was in second (behind my husband) for the majority of the race until a dude sprinted into the finish. :( David won and I was the first woman, but they awarded me as third place. This was the best 5k time I have had on any base 5k, so I was proud. | |

| Running With the Bulls is a BIG DEAL in Del Rio. Last year David and I both won first place overall and we were a proud Del Rio couple. Last year the course was not marked properly and it was short. This year the race was marked well. I knew I had to be in the low 20s to win or break 20 min and win for the ladies. The gun went and we were off!! I was trying to keep up with a 13 year old that is getting faster at every race. I had to work really hard to keep her. 1 mile in she took off. I kept calm and maintained my pace. At the 2nd mile I was catching up to her. The last .70 is up a hill and I ALMOST had her. The last stretch was coming down a hill and into the finish. She was literally steps in front of me and she looked like she was falling apart. Just at the end, a girl from behind came in and sprinted to the finish. She was 7 seconds in front, then the 13 year old was 3 seconds in front of me. I was very happy with my 5k performance since I rarely race 5ks. I did a 10k about a month ago and beat the winner of the Running With The Bulls by MINUTES. I was surprised by the outcome of this race. David was 3rd overall for the men. Just wasn't the day for the Sondrups to take home the 1st place hardware. |

|
TURKEY TROT DAY!!! After the last race, I was extremely nervous that someone fast would show up to the 5K and earn my turkey. I had also promised I would make a turkey for the Thanksgiving festivities at this upcoming T-day, so the pressure was on. Warmed up with David and he gave me some great 5K strategies. 1. Stay with or behind the person that is in your running area that you want to beat. 2. Listen to their breathing. If they are working hard and you are chill, you will surely be able to pass them up. 3. Save some room for a kick at the end of the race. Off we went down the streets of Laughlin and the first mile a cross country chick totally passed me up. I started to stress a little but I knew if she won, I could still get my turkey (for my age group). I let her go and relaxed into a nice pace behind some men. The winds really blow on the base, so I used the group of men as my shield. I could still see my husband up ahead in second place, taking it easy at this point, he looked strong. Mile 2 is a hill and I knew I could regain the lead for the ladies. (Del Rio runners don't run too many hills). I passed the group of men, the girl up ahead, and now I was in third, after my husband. Coming down the hill I ripped into a good stride. Last mile is uphill and I kept the lead. Ran into the finish at 20:40, a definite course PR. I was SUPER proud of my performance. David won as well!! On the last quarter mile, he caught the fast cross country boy and flew in to the finish. The Sondrups brought not only 1 turkey home, but 2!!! Yahoo! We had a lot of fun this morning. :)

| There was suppose to be a base 5k today... We woke up this morning and it was foggy out. We got to the gym to register for the 5k and no one was sitting at the table. They told us inside the gym they might cancel the race because so far it was only us two that had shown up. We went to the bathroom and other runners had started accumulating. They then told us that since it was foggy, the visibility was poor, so they ended up canceling the race. REALLY?? No one was surprised that they canceled their poor advertised free race. Conditions were ideal for running. David amd I ran the course as well as a father son duo. Base races really are lame. The people in charge have probably never have ran a step in their lives so they don't know how to put on decent races. At least they still put together some races. David and I ran the course twice and then added two miles. I ran three miles on the TM and one mile home totaling twelve. |

We made it to San Antonio! We don't know where we will be living yet, so we are hanging out at Randolph AFB. What a beautiful base! The buildings here are Colonial style and there are tons of things to do. Headed to the new gym and found myself on a state of the art TM. First I watched TV and then I discovered I could play Solitaire on the TM!!! It took a lot of concentration not to trip or fall off as I moved the cards around on the screen. I played the game until my hands got to sweaty. 1 mile warm up. .5 @8 .5@ 8.5 2 miles of hill climbing 1 mile back on speed 1 mile of hills 1 mile fast 1 mile hills to finish.

I swear that thing is not calibrated correctly. It was nice having a key to my own personal little gym just a few hundreds yards from where I live. I had a massage this morning so I had to hurry on the TM. | |

I am in Utah and it is FREEZING. Called Rachel and her original plan was to run 10 outside in the freezing at 5:30. No thank you. We met up at the Herriman gym and ran a total of 10. 2 miles on the track, 3 on the TM and repeated that.
So nice to catch up with Rachel and be home. I also got to see Kelli, added bonus! :) I bet those two girls are motivation for everyone else at that gym! |

Winter Wonder Land run with Rachel this morning! I was a little nervous running in snow since I kind of have forgotten how to run in snow. Rachel got to my house and we had started a little later than planned, so we decided to run 12.
We ran on the Murdock Trail in Lehi going up toward American Fork. I haven't ran the complete trail, so I was just as confused as Rachel on some spots on the trail. We figured out where to go because of the previous foot prints in the fresh snow.
At time the snow was really in our face and the road was comnpletely slushy. Runs like this really bring meaning to running for me. Beautiful scenery and a special friend to talk and run through it with. If I still lived by Rachel, I think my weekly mileage could easily double if I ran everyday with her. There is just a deeper meaning to running when you have someone you can capture the essence of a run with. :) |
