The only reason I ran this race was because David wanted to.  I seriously wanted to not pay and just run for fun.  We got the start and it was a little over 30 degrees, it was pretty chilly out.  I wore running tights and David wore shorts (crazy).  We ran a mile around the high school to warm up. The course went around the high school, so it was a good change from the typical place they have their other races.  

I saw a few of my students at the start line and I thought it was really cool that elementary age school children were RUNNING a 5k!  So cool.  My plan was to start off slow and just go off of how my body felt.  As I started, I noticed there was no one to really compete against and only men were passing me.  What the heck, I just went and felt pretty darn good.  Big hill at mile 1 and another one at 2.5 miles.  The finish line seemed so far away on the home stretch.  

Finished and felt like poop.  David got second to a speedy man.  David seems to always get second for some reason, but he ran the race in 17:40.  Faster than I could ever run.  We waited around for the awards and of course they did overall last.  I started to walk up before the announced my name, I felt like a weirdo.  They also pronounced out last name as Sounduro, in a very heavy Hispanic accent.  We basically live in Mexico, so, why not?  One of my students ran up and gave me a big hug, it was the cutest things!

We went and got breakfast tacos at Rudy's after, yummy yummy.

At the end of my run I passed some older men doing a group PT.  They asked me how far I had gone and I told them 6 miles.  Somehow being pregnant makes running that much more impressive because they seemed pretty impressed.  I snickered to myself.

It was 85 out in the afternoon and I got really hot.  I was completely EXHAUSTED by the end of the day.  Sometimes I forget that I am six months pregnant and keep going and going until my body just shuts down.

10 miles on the TM.  Today was the first time I used a running/maternity belt thing while I ran.  It was actually really comfortable, until it got hot.  I did the 10 miles at about an 8mm.  I am starting to have IT issues in my left leg and I am wondering if it is due to old shoes or my body getting bigger.  I probably need to get into the gym and get going with toning stuff for my lower body.  Really great run with a few new songs I ran to.

I had a pretty sad day.  Just pregnant and tired.  I got to the gym at 6pm and ran 6, I felt so so much better!

David was helping with the Devil Dash 5k in his squadron.  It was an event to raise money for the Wounded Warrior something or other, scholarship fund.  He was over registration and results.  I got to the race an hour and a half early to help with registration.  Mostly everyone had pre-registered, and came 30 minutes before the race, so it was a little hectic.  I have never been on the other side of a race and now I have more appreciation for those that plan events.  It's not an easy job and it's nice when people are nice...

Right before the race started, I raced to the bathroom.... Guess that was my warm?  I am basically 7 months pregnant and I really wanted to just see how I could handle this race.  I wasn't planning to win, unless no one fast showed up, but there were two ladies that I just couldn't catch up to.  Having gained nearly 20 pounds, I could really feel my body getting tired by 1.5 miles.  

The course ran out onto the flight line and back up a hill to the start, it was a great 5k course I thought!  The time on the runway went by really fast and it was fun to see a straight line of runners.  It was also a flat course, which I liked.  If I get to race next year, I would like to really train and focus on breaking 20 min on this course, I think it would be manageable.  Plus the course was measured exactly on, not short!  

I came in pleased with my time.  Many people were not pleased that a very pregnant lady had passed them.  One lady came up to me at the end and said, "There are two people that I don't like passing me in races, pregnant people and presents."  I laughed.  She told me that at a Jingle Bell run a guy in a huge present box passed her!  I was proud to have passed many of my husband's students as well.  They were impressed that a pregnant lady could just pass them up.

David won the race, which was really nice.  He was a good representation of his squadron.  I was impressed that he could help out with the race and come off with the win as well.  At the end of the race he ran me in, I rather enjoy that when he comes and cheers me in.  Sometimes I even go a bit slower because he is with me.  :)  

Great race at 27 weeks pregnant!

Progressive tempo run.  Didn't plan that, it just happened that way.  First mile was 8.40, 8:26, 8;20, 8:10 (didn't see the 5th mile) and 8:10.  Great run.  Tried to run fast becuase I was running a tad late.  Got it done.

Right quad still gets randomly fatigued and tuckered out throughout the day, it's strange.

We also did lunges 2x around the track.  If I can't run tomorrow, it will be because of the stupid lunges.  

37 weeks.  Oh baby, I'm getting huge.  I am that pregnant lady.  Yeah THAT one that is still running.  My goal was to make it to 30 weeks of running.  I think any miles past that point count as double.

After two days off, I felt good to go.  Naomi slept the entire time while I was on the TM.  She woke up when 6 girls came into the mother's room, and then went back to sleep.  

I ran starting at a 7.0 and up the speed every quarter mile.  As soon as I went for 15 minutes, I would rest and walk for two minutes.  This is a pretty good workout and I can start to feel my abs working again.

I would have liked to run 10, but I only had time to run 7. It was on the indoor track, and it was really boring. 

I am actually glad that I didn't run anymore because my body was not having it.  Hip flexors and ankles were sore.

2 miles on the outdoor track pushing Naomi.  This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  She slept the entire miles. It was a workout pushing the stroller.

1 mile on the TM and then Naomi woke up and I had to feed her.

Naomi would not go back to sleep so I pushed her on the indoor track.  There is no elevator up to the track so I had to carry the stroller up a flight of stairs, geez.  Naomi was awake the entire run and looked around the whole time.  I got 4 miles in and called it good when she started crying.

Came home and did T25 Cardio.

14 miles and it was REALLY hot!  

I fed N in the morning while David did the first half of his run.  He got back and she wasn't done eating, so he kept running.  We ran together for about 5 with N in the stroller and he pushed.  I was happy to get a break from that and let David have a try. 

I had 9 more miles to go... Filled a bottle with ice water and headed back out.  By mile 10 I fell apart. Every time I saw shade I would sit in it. 

Got to Subway and refilled my bottle with ice water and it was super refreshing.  I made it home alive in one piece. It was 90 degrees by then.  AP 8:53

6 miles on the indoor track, most of it pushing the stroller.  Ran 2 miles worth of fast miles.  First time doing somewhat real speed work post baby, that was interesting.  It felt good letting my legs go as fast as  I could.

Baby would sleep better if I ran as fast as I could. When baby was asleep I would park her on the side of the track and see her every time I passed.  It's a nice place to run minus it's 13 times around to make a mile and the fact that it's upstairs and there is no elevator.  That becomes a task when you have to lift the stroller up the stairs.

Shout out to myself.  I am just really proud of my mileage and motivation for the week.  I am a new mom and so far I am making this running thing work. SO FAR.  

David and I had a 16 miler planned on the books and we weren't sure how we were going to make this work with little N.  We decided he would run first, I would get ready and feed the baby and then he would come and get us.  

Plans worked out.  I ran the first 8 miles with David and he pushed the stroller.  Naomi did so well as she looked up at us just strolling around in her diaper.  Just about the cutest thing ever.  After over an hour we took Naomi home.  I got water, gatorade, an AMAZING salted caramel GU and changed my shirt (I was soaked).  

Went back out and did the remaing miles at below an 8:30 pace on hills.  It was about 80 at this point, so I felt really well about this run.

8:30 AP for the run.

Not the best start to the week.  I didn't get to run yesterday and I have eaten way TOO much junk over the weekend.  Oh well, my baby girl still loves me.

Ran on the track, like a hampster.  It's really the only thing I can do around here if I sleep in.  It's just too hot and I can't run outside with N in high temps.  So 104 times around the track.

Seriously, this track thing is killing me.  I need to get up real early I guess.  It's just hard because I always want to go back to bed after I feed Naomi.  This morning she ate and then slept next to me for a few hours.  We just cuddled and then she smiled at me a ton.  I love my little girl and being a Mommy, as of now... She has stolen my heart.  When she smiles at me, I melt and I will do anything for her.  

Anyway, all of that has nothing to do with running.  At least I ran 6?

Ran the base with N while it was still pretty cool out.  She was asleep and I found myself in the gym around mile 6.  Hopped on the TM do to some speed work.  4 miles at 7:26 AP.  One min fast, one min slow for the last two miles.  I never do speed work, partly to do with the baby stroller I am always pushing around, partly to do with the pain I want to avoid. Nice run today.

18 miles on the base.  These long runs have been much easier this marathon because I get to do about half of each long run with David at a slower tempo for him because he pushes the stroller.  I am lucky to have David this marathon to train with, blessed in fact.  It's much more exciting when both of us are training for a long distance race, he seems to get more excited about running.

He started running a little before 5 am.  I woke up at the same time and waited about 45-50 minutes to wake Naomi up.  I fed her and David was back before I had gotten myself ready.  He had started so I early so I wouldn't have to be in the heat as long, which was really nice of him.  He got Naomi in her stroller and I got myself ready.

We left before it was light out and Naomi looked really confused in the stroller.  She just watched me as I ran for the few miles she was awake.  I lust love looking at that baby in just her diaper looking around as we run, it's something rather special.  We ran about 7 miles and then David was finished.

I kept running and my pace dropped as the heat kept rising.  It was a very humid moring and i had to change my shirt 3 times and my shorts twice during the run.  I just managed to completely soak all of my running attire.  With three miles remaining, I found myslef downing Gatorade and water at a raid pace.  I never CRAVE gatorade like I do in the Texas summer heat, it tastes heavenly.  

Managed my 18 before 9:30 and it was really hot.  (80+).  David's parents are coming down for a few weeks so we will have some babysitters for our last few long runs.  :)  I wonder if he will just push an empty stroller for the fun of it. Knowing him, he would.

We are vacationing at South Padre Island.  I got up pretty early to feed Naomi, so I just got ready and went for my run.  This was one of those runs, the best kinds of runs... The last mile and a half I ran on the beach at sunrise, it was beyond gorgeous.  I was one of the only ones at the beach this time, I was lucky to be a runner,

While I was running at 6:30 in the darkness, there was no one out.  At mile 1.5 some random guy passed me on a Segway, it scared the crap out of me and then it just made me chuckle a little.

I got back and David left for his 12 miles.  I took Naomi for a long walk on the beach while she slept in the stroller.  Lots of people out walking the shore line.  Just beautiful.  Got back to the hotel when David did.  He said that was one of the worst places to run and he had a horrific time.  Strange how two different people can get the opposite point of view running the same place.

What happens when a cold front comes to Texas?  AWESOME running weather, that is what happens.  I think this was the BEST long run I have ever had in my life. 8:05 AP

David started out a 5:30 am and I laid in bed until 6.  Got up and dressed, fed Naomi and ate a banana.  I didn't get out the door until around 7 am.  When I stepped outside it was misting and it felt WONDERFUL.  Actually I felt rather cold (68).  

We started out pretty quick, around an 8 mm and I was concerned because I still had a LONG way to go and David was on the back end of his LR.  He pushed the stroller and he was going like it wasn't even hard.  Around the 7 mile mark, it down poured.  We had to seek shelter because we didn't want Naomi to get wet.  We stood under a car port at the dorms and we ran back and forth underneath.  I bet anyone watching thought we were NUTS.  

We started back up and it felt good again.  I dropped David off around the 9 mile mark, changed my shirt, drank Gatorade and was off again.  I ran 5 more miles and came back home for my 2nd Caramel GU.  

The last 6 miles I decided I would pick the pace up and do speed work at the end of my LR.  I came out of my house and there was a female runner I tried to stay with for a long time.  I looked down at my watch and we were going around a 7 mm.  I just smiled because I was on mile 15, I bet she was on mile 2 or something.  She still beat up to the West gate.  Man, I need to find out who she is so I can run with her.  Probably a student from the Academy here for UPT.

I decided I would run as fast as I could down a hill, recover and climb back up at a steady pace.  I did this 4x.  Last mile was a cool down.  When my watch hit 20, I stopped it and looked at my AP.  I swore out loud!!!  This was the fastest I have ever gone on a LR.  I was super proud of my performance, I feel REALLY ready for SGM.  I would be cool to PR, but I am not planning to.  

I saw 3 baby trianchulas, 2 dead toads and 1 dead prarie dog.  hmmm.  

Next 3 weeks and we will see what I can do as far as speed.  David and I are both getting stoked about SGM!

Terrific run, that is as fast as I have ever run 20 and I certainly wasn't doing hill repeats at the end. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see a PR at SGM, especially if you get a cold one like last year.

6 miles. 2.5 on the TM, the rest on the track.  

I was officially kicked off the track by MEAN lady MARTHA because I have a child under 12.... REALLY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just looked at mean lady Martha and said, "Well, I guess I will just let my baby scream in the Mother's Room."  

She obviously never has had anything to do with kids and fitness.  Later as I was leaving the gym I burst into tears.  One thing I can control is running on the track.  I can't control the heat or when N is going to wake up screaming in the Mother's Room,  Sometimes a gym with no childcare and people that don't understand what it's like to train with a child can make me say SWEAR WORDS!  I will repent and never run when MEAN lady MARTHA is working again. AMEN.

Plus there is never any more than two people on that track at a time.  It wasn't like Naomi was going to get out of the stroller and start running around (she is 3 months). And I think I wouldn't run into anyone with the stupid jogger.

I ran 3.5 miles when David got back from his run and then I took Naomi out for the rest.  Got to mile 7.25 and did 3 miles on TM @ 7:30 AP.  

I saw half of a squirrel on the side of the road.  Just the lower part, it was terrifying.  Naomi got like 10 bug bites.  

As I was running on a 9.0 on the TM a worker man was watching me.  Later he said I look like I meditate while I jog.  The only thing about that statement is that he called me a jogger.

I was extra sleepy on today's run because Naomi woke up around 4 for her feeding and David came back around 545 to join him on his run.  Naomi didn't go back to sleep until about mile 2.5. We ran and argued, we were both really tired.  I just wanted this run to be over.  

Ran 7 with David.  He was joking that he would probably beat the sunrise today, well he did.  We got home and I changed my shirt, ate GU, and drank Gatorade with my second salt stick.  Out the door I went for another 8 miles. 

There was another lady running up to the West Gate so of course I had to push my pace to beat her.  Did that and I got really tired.  I am glad I wasn't doing my 20 miler today because I would have parked on the side of the road for a nap.p

The last 4 miles I ran up and down the hills.  My gutt just hurt all morning.  I was so happy when I hit 15, I walked.  8:02 AP.  I was impressed I could pull that off with the super humid morning and feeling like junk. I was DRIPPING with sweat when I got home.  Gross

Watch out for those reptile types. Sounds like you had a nice time running in Utah. But for Texas purposes at least you are in the good part of the year now.

7 miles.  1 to and from the gym.  Well, they turned the heat up to 76 in the gym... I never understand why they do this, it doesn't save money on enrgy by any means.  It was warmer there than in my house.  

They got new TMs :)  You know, because all of the extra $ they have left over at the end of the year.  The other TMs were old (2yrs) hahaha.  I like the digital TMs, I can run all over the world.  

I ran 6 miles in 45 min, pretty nice

Running With the Bulls 10k today, one of my favorite races!  I have never raced with a stroller, but I gave it a go today!

We got to the race and warmed up and talked to friends.  Before the race a group of runners from Mexico tried to get everyone to follow them in their warmup, it was like aerobics or something? Their shirts said "Runners Girls" nice.  

I started too far back because I was dodgeding so many people with the stroller.  One girl cut in front of me and I actually hit her.  :(  Sad, but it wasn't my fault.  The road seemed pretty bumpy and the corners were muddy and slick.  I thought I had a really nice pace.  The 5k and 10k split off of each other and things started to even out.  I had space to run and the road was wide and free of traffic.  

At about mile 3 I saw the leading group making their way back to the finish.  The leading lady was with the pack, sooo fast.  I never saw any other girl in front of me and there was one girl close behind me.  I held a steady pace and skipped the drink stations because I knew she would catch us.  

The last two miles started to really burn, my lungs hurt and my legs were getting tired.  I know this course rather well, so I just hanging on.  I impressed myself with my strength and determination.  haha.  I looked at my watch and it said 35 minutes, I knew David would be finishing and heading back soon to come and get us.  Just keep pushing until you see David, you can do it!  

I saw David with about a half mile to go!!  Thank heavens!  He took the stroller and my pace sped up a lot.  My heart was racing very rapidly at this pace and I focused on breathing.  "GO" I kept saying this over and over in my head.  I was going.  We even passed a few guys on the way into the finish.  

I was EXTREMELY pleased with my stroller push.  Naomi just slept the entire time.  Last year I ran the race at arounf a 41 min.  David took first with 36:50.  Leading lady won at 38:38. Whew!  Awesome times .  We won 3 months of Cross Fit at the raffle, what a dream...

Race: Base Turkey Trot (3.1 Miles) 21:28:00, Place overall: 2, Place in age division: 1
Slow milesFast milesTotal Distance
2.503.105.60

Sooo, I really enjoyed the base Turkey Trot this year.  I got two of my friends to come out and participate.  They both pushed strollers and just did a fabulous job.  I love to see when my friends and family get excited about running when they actively participate in it.  

David decided he would race while pushing the stroller.  I was excited to actually run FAST without the stroller holding back my time.  Running up to the gym from our house the weather was really soupy.  It looked like it could be cold but it was muggy and pretty warm.  We ran a little over a mile for our warm up.  We pinned on our cardstock numbers and got ready.

Off we went on the same route they always use.  I sprang out in front and David was actually BEHIND me.  That was a first for sure.  I ran out in front of him and he clipped me a little with the stroller.  I was for sure going out WAY too fast.  Then again, everyone in front of me went out super fast.  David slowly caught up to everyone and within in a half mile he was the leader (pushing a stroller).

 By the beginning of the third mile, I was second (men and women).  I watched a fellow runner named Jim slowly die inside as I passed him.  He yelled something at me, something along the lines of being passed by a girl.  Then my shoe came untied with more than a half mile to go.  Dang it!    I pulled over and quickly tied it.  Jim passed me as well as another guy.  I ran hard and caught back up.  Turned up the last road leading to the home stretch and pushed it.  Second place.  It was a pretty awesome race.  I guess technically Naomi won because she was the first to cross the finish line.  :)

We chilled and waited for the turkeys to be given out.  First and second of each division got a turkey, so we got to take home two.  We LOVE getting turkeys at the turkey trot, it's our Laughlin tradition.  This was our fourth year, and hopefully we will claim them again next year.  :)  they were 16 pound turkeys too.  I also enjoy getting turkey the week before Thanksgiving so we can actually prepare them and have them for our feast.

This is probably one of the more memorable run I've had here at Laughlin.  Told Mindy and Christina I needed to deliver some gifts to the ladies I visit teach.  Mindy was set on running so I went home and put my running shoes on, no socks and just in what I had been wearing that day (luckily sweats)

Ran to the first house dropped it off.  Ran past the club and they were selling Christmas gifts there and I stopped and went in.  Just as we got there David came walking up too!  I bought a gift for my mom and then we ran to the next house.

On the way back Mindy wanted to run shuttles on the path, I have never done this.  It was a great workout and two of us had strollers.  Super fun to see the houses with lights on them,  We ran past the football field and I went over and turned the stadium lights on.  They thought I was pretty clever.  

Ran home and it was getting dark and cold for the babies.  We ended up going 2.6 miles.  :)

Just noticed that I am almost to the 1,000 mile mark for base miles since I have lived here 2 years from this April.  That's cool.

Ran around the base and clocked the run I went on last night with my friends.  Mindy was surprised when I texted her that we had ran 2.6 miles.  She was proud of that little run.  

Pretty uneventful run today.  Just proud that I ran all the week days this week.  I have really been struggling to get myself out the door lately.  The high amounts of sugar I have consumed this past week have been motivation to get out the door.
