find each others light

Ashley needed to run 5 but I needed to run 6 so she ran an extra mile with me. My hamstrings felt tight this whole run. Different route but same old running up and up east and then coming down home and last mile on flat. I sped up the last mile and she stayed with me the whole time. I really sped up the last 1/4 mile and she stayed with me. She's awesome!  No yoga today though since it's a holiday and kids are home. I'm painting address numbers on curbs today with my brighton cheerleader! Cemetery visiting and bbq tonight with family! Happy memorial day!

Beautiful morning! Ran a mile around here and then up newcastle and over to Debeers which turns into Willow Hills. Over past Albion and up Newcastle and up and up. down past water tower and over to buffalo. Down alta canyon and up highland. My lower butt feels SO tight still. The tightness spread down my right hamstring during the run. This happened on Thurs and Sat. too. What is up? Gotta do more yoga I guess. Oh. I was obsessed with checking out people's curb house numbers this morning cause I painted curbs for my daughter's fundraiser yesterday for like 3 hours. I think we did a pretty crappy job. Sorry people.We're not professionals.

I'm already crying inside knowing that my precious time schedule will turn upside down when school ends. And no more alone time during Josie's nap:( I love my kids but...you know.

60 min (warm-up to cool down) Jillian Michaels Banish Fat/Boost Metabolism dvd.

 Was planning on going on a long walk with Josie in the stroller but Cami is home sick. Maybe I'll go later this evening.

I think the root of my butt/hamstring problem is my psoas.

It's feeling better with yoga and cross training.

 Ran alone and tried to run fast.  I need to do yoga and lengthen my psoas. I tried to lengthen my stride and it seemed to help. Still tight on the right side (lower butt and hamstring) Worse going up hill and loosens when I run down. Last mile was 8:44 mostly flat.

My sister sent me this article saying she has this problem. I think my issues are also related to the psoas, but not as severe as hers.

I ran 11 miles with Ashley 1:45:15 AP 9:34. Last mile was my fastest at 9:08.

1 mile alone (after sitting in the car for a while) 10:10 AP 10:11

Had to make it 30 for the week.

The weather was so weird at 6:10am. There was a yucky looking brown cloud covering out west. It almost looked like smoke from a fire. There were also creepy looking clouds coming up over the east mountains. I was so grateful for the cloud cover though because it would have been a much hotter run without them. We started at the park and ride at bottom of Little Cottonwood and ran to Draper. It an eventful, memorable run and I can't write about it all here:) It was a fun 11 miler! I've only ever run dimple dell to draper as part of a marathon training run. I'm usually at 18-20 miles in that area so it was nice.

Good job Ashley! You rock!
