Time 50:47 AP 9:39

HILLS. And steep ones! 7:00 TUT

Ran down around Falcon and then over to Flat Iron. I overdressed this morning. Just prepping for 5 degrees on Wed:) It was foggy, breezy, snowy, slippery. I was afraid to let loose on the downhills cause even with my spotlight I couldn't see every ice patch. Didn't seem snowy or icy enough for the yaktrax though.

Will do BK Power Yoga 2 (50 min) while Josie naps later.

I still love my Kinsei's more. (wow, up to 600)

Time 1:07:15 on the treadmill. "Slow" run today.

Watched an episode and 1/2 of "Heavy" on A&E. My sister told me about the show and all I have to say is WHOA! Made me grateful that I was physically able to run 7 easy on the TM today.

Grateful for a new month. One month closer to Spring even if it's colder than it's ever been out there today. I was feeling down and a little angry that I had to get up and run 7 miles today. Asked myself what I was thinking signing up for this marathon and training in the winter. Training last year with Lysa starting in May was so nice! I think I'm crazy for doing 2 marathons this year. Just having a little breakdown. I need to refocus and be grateful that I can run! This weather is just so depressing and it doesn't help to talk to my friend in Vegas who's training for Ogden as well.

Cross training day

Tried the Just Dance 2 Intense workout on the wii for 40 min.I was sweating, but not enough. The program didn't work the way I thought it would and it annoyed me. The dancing part was fun but not enough of a workout.

Did Jillian's "winning combination of core-focused cardio circuits and ab-toning exercises." Otherwise known as the "6 week/ 6pack" on demand. 38 min.

4 "Fast" miles on the treadmill in 34:55.

Warmed up for 5 min and then ran between 6.5-7.0 most the time and 8.0 the last .60. I was trying to do a tempo run but I don't even know what I ended up doing. There are so many different types of speed work that it confuses me.

Jackie Warner Upper body and ab workout (weight+cardio)- 30 min

So glad my 11 yr old is finally back to school. Has been home all week with influenza (doctor thinks) . Still not totally recovered but not contagious.

Rest day

BK Power Yoga 1- 52 minutes

Left @ 6:30 and it was 33 degrees. So warm! I went with Deb and Jill. Up Newcastle and up to La Caille (trail) where we turned left on Wasatch. Went a ways and left went left down toward Creek Road. All the way down Creek to Highland and back up to Newcastle. We were @ 9+ there when Deb left us to take her dog home. Deb and I went back up Newcastle and back up to La Caille (trail again) and turned right and SLOWLY ran up to 94th. My legs were burning! I love the burn! (kept telling myself)  I really couldn't believe we were going back up (way back on Newcastle for the 2nd time) @ mile 10. I told her that Lysa and I were always looking for flat or downhill @ this point on our long runs. She said she just goes on auto pilot and doesn't notice the inclines. What!? Anyway, so happy to get to the top of Wasatch @ 94th and come down, down, down, to Highland where we get another hill @ mile 13 where I was supposed to be done. Ran an extra mile home on flat ground and so appreciated it! My average was around 9:57 I think but my daughter was playing with it when I got home and kept pushing the start button. Need to stretch my butt and hamstrings!
