find each others light

Time 46:01 AP 9:13 TUT (total uphill time) 6:00

I left at 7:15! Yay for light! Went down around falcon and found puddles and slush. I also found myself stripping down there cause I was so hot. It was so warm out this morning. Yay for warmth! There were some big dark clouds at first but they blew away. Coming up the Falcon hill took me two minutes and I ran over to Flat Iron where the hills took me one minute each. Ran around there a few times and then the hill home took 1 minute. Yay for a training schedule!

I LOVE it!

Jackie Warner Upper Body and Ab workout-30 minutes

Time 54:54 AP 9:09 Best mile was the last in 8:24

Beautiful moon out west as I stepped out at 6am. It was crisp and clear. This was 6 "easy" miles according to schedule.  The first half I ran toward the mountain so gradual uphill the whole time. 2nd half coming back down and then to flat for the last 1.5 mile. It was nice to see some light behind the east mountains as I finished up.

I bought myself an LED headlamp with TriplePower 75 lumens. I WILL be seen. I also bought a safety light (red) to wear on the back. I wanted to put them both on strobe light and be really obnoxious to cars:) but I didn't.

Cross training day and I don't  have a bike or a gym membership. I would prefer to swim or bike but..

Did Jillian's Burn Fat/Boost Metabolism-50 minutes

Sweat my butt off!

Time 34:28 AP 8:37:) Splits 8:44, 8:36, 8:50, 8:20

Tried to make it "fast" miles today but my legs felt frozen. I guess they weren't because I don't think I've ever run that fast (outside) for 4 miles! Yay! Now if only i could keep that up for 22 more miles I could qualify for Boston! Hah! Not likely.

It was COLD out! Should have worn my gator. The moon beautiful!

Jackie Warner Upper Body and Ab workout-30 minutes (didn't rest on the tummy tucks and about died!)

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1-50 minutes.

Modified for rest day.

Time 1:54:05 AP 9:30 Not bad for a hilly run.

Splits 9:39, 9:26, 10:26, (big hill) 9:17, 9:41, 8:53, 9:21, 9:47, 9:35, 9:34, 9:27, 8:59 :)

Left at 6:30am and it was 40 degrees! Met Deb and Betsy and their BIG dogs. Ran up Newcastle and met Jill (no dog).We ran up Newcastle and turned south on some street to 94th. Ran up that (whoa) and turned toward Dimple dell road. We ran past the road Lysa and I used to come out on but instead of going right toward dimple dell we went left up a steep hill and just went up and up to Wasatch. Tough! We turned around and came back, turned somewhere and ended  up back at the dimple dell trail area and went on the trail there. That was my first time and I loved it! There was a powdered sugaring of snow covering the trail (which is wood chips Deb told me). The sun was rising and the moon was gorgeous up south west. It was so clear and the lights of the city  with the mountains all around...it was just pretty. I loved running on that trail too! We ran there for a while and Betsy left us to go home at mile 6 (She ran 20 miles yesterday).The 3 of us ran down by Smith's and cut through and went up past the library and up highland to home. I ended up running the last 2 miles alone around home.  I was happy to run the last mile in 8:59! My butt and the bottoms of my feet were sore at the end of the run. It's been a long time since I ran 12 miles outside. First time doing long runs in the winter. Fun, new experience!

Fun to run with people, to talk and listen to fun stories and leave the music at home. Jill ran one marathon 10 years ago and told us this morning that she's running/training for the Provo marathon. Deb is running Ogden and Betsy is training for a 50 miler. Betsy is fast so if I feel like pushing it I stay with her. If I want to hold back I hang with Deb. It's nice to have a mixture of speeds going on.

Just drank a BIG glass of chocolate milk. Yummo! Gotta shower, make blueberry muffins (trying a new recipe with whole WHITE wheat and greek yogurt) and plan my sharing time for tomorrow! Have a great day!
