Wasn't planning on running because I didn't sleep much and am still recovering from the cruise. I'm freaking out a little cause my 22 month old started climbing out of her crib while we were gone. So sure enough, last night at midnight while I was brushing my teeth she came in my bathroom and scared the crap out of me! I've never seen her just appear in my bedroom in her entire life! I'm worried about what this will do to my morning running routine. May have to use the lock on the door and I guess we're getting rid of the crib now.

Jeff came downstairs with a training schedule for SGM and it called for 3 for today. Intermediate schedule. I ran at 2pm in the rain and it felt good! Thank goodness it was raining.

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1- 52 minutes. It's been too long. I'll probly be sore.

Time 1:04:14 AP 9:11

fastest laps were  3 (slight uphill but met up with a friend and we both sped up) =8:37 

7 (flat) =8:54 which surprises me cause I felt dead at the end.

I was supposed to run 7 yesterday but I didn't go in the morning and it never happened. I was going to go around 8:30 or 9pm but then there was that huge downpour and I had to take pictures of the kids playing outside in it. Our gutter was like a river and they had a bunch of fun. Love summer storms!

So...up @ 5:30am. It's a must! Ran alone even though Jeff was going out too. I ran into Jill. Well, I saw her up ahead around mile 2 and got close enough to call her name and she stopped (some other ladies helped flag her down to get her attention). It was good to see her and run with her. Haven't run together since winter. She ran a half marathon on Mon. and came in second and last:)
Small race :) I just ran with her, she was doing the key bank run which has a couple of steep hills at the end (up Alta Canyon and up highland). I ran her home and ran another 2.3 miles around her hood and back home.

Did Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1-52 minutes as soon as I got home. I'm really sore from doing it Mon. That vacation put me right out of shape.

Time 27:38 AP 9:12

Left around 7am and ran with Jeff.  Nice, cool morning. Still enjoying the honeysuckle. I thought it might be gone by now. We did 3 hill sprints at the end, 10 seconds each. I don't know why but I laugh when I do hill sprints.

Total Body circuit training -40 minutes Just about killed me.

Time 1:06:34 AP 9:31

Ran with Jeff. Down to Falcon and up falcon way. Turned right and ran over to ? and to 94th and up Eastdell. Jeff beat me up the hill. He's the only one who ever has. Over to Sego Lily, turned on Buttercup and down to library/petunia to 1700 to Falcon and walked home up the short cut path.Totally sore from total body circuit and hill sprints yesterday.

I've been trying to eat better this week cause of the cruise last week. I'd been doing great yesterday. Walked in the door after taking Lizzie to soccer game and Jane had made yummy peanut butter cookies. It's also between 4 and 5 pm, my weakest time of day (want to eat crap) My first instinct is "Do not eat one!" Then I convince myself to "just have one!" and forget that that never happens! Ate way too many. I don't know when I'll realize I'm not one of those people who can "eat whatever they want because I run" and I'm not one who can "eat just one." Ugh.

I'm feeling extra stressed so that's another reason I gave in. Emotional eater. Josie is almost 2 and I hope she and I both survive before she turns 2 and I turn 40. I'm too old for this. When Jeff and got home all three youngest kids were awake to greet us because Josie had climbed out of her crib and woken them up. I've always been able to be completely relaxed putting Josie down for nap and bed and I don't feel that anymore cause she won't stay. I need to clean out her room of all hazards and shut/lock her door I think cause this is too much. Sorry so long.

Up @ 5:40am and ended up going by myself and without music:( Jeff ended up not going with me (I really needed to get going to get back for soccer and he had stuff to take care of) and my ipod was dead. I was annoyed going in to this and then I just felt like crap while running and I really wanted to quit. My legs felt so heavy. Does running ever get easy? I feel like I shouldn't be struggling anymore but I guess we all have our bad days right? I decided to just run 5 out and 5 back cause I had to be home right on time. The second half of the run was better then the first.

I am SO grateful to be able to run! I'm grateful for the beautiful mountains that still have snow on them in July. As I was driving home with Lizzie yesterday I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the mountains, the blue sky and the big, puffy white clouds surrounding the green and white topped mountains. What a beautiful place we live in. I mean...have you ever been to Kansas??? I told Lizzie we take this for granted if we're born and raised here and we need to appreciate it as not everyone is lucky enough to live in such a gorgeous area! Anyway...I love living by the mountains and love being able to run up and down them and stay in the shade longer in the mornings,etc. Love it!!!
