What a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL run this morning. I was able to run later in the sun (since Jeff is home today) which was heavenly. I called Lysa and asked if I could run with her and then talked her ear off. Thanks so much LYSA. It's so gorgeous out there today and having her company, it just made for a great start to this new year, first run of 2012. I left her around mile 6 something and ran to my sister's cause I didn't want to go home yet. She wasn't there so I just got a drink and ran home.

Slow pace but there were lots of hills. I walked/ran up the back of flat iron cause it's stink'in steep! I also ran 8 miles on Sat. and am still sore from that. AND, I didn't care about running fast I just wanted to run forever today.

3 sets of plank. 1min30, 1min15 and 1min.

Jackie Warner Total Body Workout (weights) 40 minutes

Has anyone ever run either the capitol half in may or the Freedom Salt lake run on the 4th? Which is better?

1:08:24 AP 10:13

Left at 6:15am and ran with Deb and her dog Hobbes. I need to start getting up early again and getting it done. Josie isn't taking her nap as well and I have to check on her every 20 min or so that she's awake to make sure she hasn't taken off her diaper! (Yes she took off a poopy diaper last week and tried to clean herself with wipes. Then she set the dirty diaper and wipes she had used in the big Costco diaper box that's in her room. So she did try to do it as neatly as possible. Hello, she turned 2 in August! There are more stories but I'll spare you. She's trying to potty train herself, I'm not quite ready. I've never had a kid do this).

 Anyway, great run. slow again but lots of hills. Great conversation. i'm tired of running alone.

Left at 6am and ran with Deb and Hobbes. Super cold out! Great to have a running partner, conversation and my run in before kids are off to school. Beautiful moon this morning.

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1-52 minutes

I ran at 2pm today since Jeff is home. Run started out great and planned on 4 around both parks. It was warm out. I'm not used to running this time of day. At the last half mile I started getting sharp pains on my right side and had to walk home. What? That doesn't happen to me very often:( Kind of sad I had to walk the last hill but...it just killed when I ran. Had pretty good splits for running hills till I had to walk.

I'm super dang sore from power yoga yesterday. Kicked my butt.

58:12 AP 9:42 because I ran such a slow last 1/2 mile.

8:45am Drove up to the bottom of Little Cottonwood with Lysa and ran home. It was COLD at first coming down the canyon but warmed up later. We ran down 94th and turned somewhere that took us past Granite Elementary and over by dimple dell and then down home. It really warmed up on Highland where we ran in the sun. Felt SO good! Super fun run with Lysa in the SUN since I have people home to take care of Josie. Thanks Lysa. The last .5 was after we got back from picking up her car and I was hobbling cause my feet and legs were sore. I guess from yoga and maybe I need new shoes.

Doing yoga either today or tomorrow. Will add it later if I end up doing it today.

Did Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1- (52 minutes)with a pounding headache, which made it harder.

45:53 AP 9:11

Left at 6:40am and ran alone in the freezing cold. Music worked for a while but then it died. I ran down to 86th and then over to Peruvian. Turned right and over to Viscounti. Crossed Highland and turned right at Mountain Snow Dr and ran up toward the buffalo but turned right on the street before it. Came down Willow hills. I tried to run fast this morning.

Splits:8:55,9:20,10:10 I (long gradual up)8:47and 8:42

59:55 AP 9:59 cause I had to run up a steep hill to finish. It was a slow run in general though.

 Yes. 6 slow miles. I over dressed and was sweating like crazy. Fun to run in the sun!

Finally bought and downloaded the new Coldplay album. Listened to that today.

Last time I ran 26 miles in a week was Oct. week of SGM. I'm slowly coming out of my slump.

6:30 am. Alone. I overdressed again. It was SO WARM! Hard to believe it's January.

7 very slow, and hilly miles. I left around 8am and the weather was perfect. Cloudy and around 40 degrees. For some reason my head started pounding as soon as I started running.  I was just hoping it would go away but it never did. At mile 4/5 I saw blue sky and the sun starting coming out. Then my last mile the wind started and a storm was coming from the north. I also ran my steepest hill and was just crawling up it. Despite the headache, and wind I had a great time. This weather is amazing for January!

49:12 AP 9:51

Ran hills @ 10am cause Jeff is home. Sunny one minute, cold and windy the next. Icy in spots cause I ran around the parks to get some hills (shorter and steeper than usual) in.

TM run in 37:31 AP 9:18

Interval training. Started at 6.0 at each mile and worked up to 7.0. Up to 7.5 for a minute at last mile. Watched part of the movie "Awakenings" with Robert Deniro. I totally cried while cooling down/walking when they dance at the end and he stops shaking.

Before my run I did BRYAN KEST Power Yoga 1-52 minutes!! Love it!

Jillian's Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism workout.

52 minutes.

Haven't done it in a while.

Kicked my butt.

47:43 AP 9:33

Very nice weather this morning!

Did the newcastle, buffalo, key bank, Ashley's house, Peruvian park and home run.

Flat, up, flat, down, up, flat, up a little and down a little and finished up.

I have to say that the snow frosted buffalo looked beautiful with the snow all around in the yard and the snow covered mountains behind with the sun coming up.

Not sure if I'm doing yoga today or tomorrow.

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1- 52 min.

Stayed in corpse pose a long time today.

AHHHHHHH!

Going to the BYU/UTAH gymnastic meet tonight!

Go CougUtes!

6am with Deb and Hobbes. We ran over to Petunia where Highland ends there and on to the sand trail on our way to Dimple Dell trail(s). I don't know exactly where we entered ddtrail but we went through some gate and started running up. It was SO COLD this morning. I did not dress warm enough. It was so pretty up toward the top where we could see the outline of the mountains as the sun rose. We started down the longest, steepest hill that goes toward the trail head and it was covered in frozen snow. Deb wanted to turn around. I thought it might be fun to just sit and slide down it but my butt was already freezing so we turned back and ran back down the trail. Gorgeous view coming down of temples and city. Where there wasn't snow and ice the trail was very cold and crisp and hard to run on. I'm also not used to trails. I'm gonna be super sore from the 10 combined with trail running. It was fun though and I love that kind of soreness!:) We ran back home and I was at 8.3 when I dropped her at home and I ran around the hood to finish. Felt great to get it done early! Hot shower felt so good. Didn't want to get out. Don't think I've run 10 since SGM. Woo hoo!

48:27 AP 9:42

Dang hard run by myself in the pm. My legs and feet hurt the whole time. I guess I'm still sore from Sat. long run plus trails. I ran around both parks twice (HILLS) and then sprinted (well, ran as fast as I could) up 17th to home. Hard run but totally awesome of course!

Plank (on elbows and toes) x3 at 1:30, 1:15, 1:00
