find each others light

Time 37:22 AP 9:21

Ran with Jeff. Ended at Flat Iron to do hill sprints and Lysa was there! So fun!

5x10sec hill sprints with Lysa while Jeff timed us. Well, 4 with Lysa @ Flat Iron and 1 with Jeff on 17th.

10 lb slimdown core workout with Chris Freytag-22 min.

This was my first time doing this workout and I had done all these moves before with Jillian, Bryan Kest and Jackie Warner EXCEPT the double leg stretch with a lat pullover with 5 pound weights. This was a TOUGH move and I could feel it "ripping" my abs.  She also did core body hops which were fun and I must try these moves again soon! Can't forget the plank move with a leg lift either. Lifting that leg really works the legs muscles as you're working the core! Nice workout when I don't have a lot of time.

Happy Monday and first day of August 2011!

I ran alone and ran whatever pace felt good. Splits 10, 9:53, 9:58, (up) 9:10,(down) 10:07 (steepest hill), 9:02, 9:31, 9:01, 8:48 (flat). Glad to finish strong. My legs and feet felt tired and sore last night and this morning but when I started running...it all worked itself out. Funny how that happens.

Bryan Kest Power Yoga-52 minutes

So Jeff and I left later than usual this morning and ran a slow recovery run. During the first mile a friend of mine who was out running, ran up behind us and said "Hey, I have some bad news. (My daughter) and I have LICE!" This daughter was over playing with my daughter (6 yr olds) yesterday afternoon for a few hours. They jumped on the tramp and ran through sprinklers and her daughter was hugging my 1 yr old all over the place. UGH! So she ran with us and we talked about what I need to do to hopefully nip this in the bud if we did get the bug. This is ALL I need on top of everything else I'm worried about. STINK! Exposed to LICE! Seriously???

5x10sec hill sprints up Falcon

Time 1:21:19 AP 9:02

9 mile pace run by myself. Decided to give it a try. I've been a real wimp with a bad attitude lately and have refused to try the pace runs with Jeff. I gave it a go this morning and I did it!!!

Did my usual 9 mile route. Here are splits:

8:56, 9:05, 9:37, 8:37, 9:47 (Eastdell hill), 8:38 (favorite mile, favorite song, flying downhill with a great view of the Jordan River temple), 8:54, 9:16, 8:29. Happy!

I just keep thinking what would I be capable of if I stopped eating crappy and dropped 10-15lbs. Eating clean is SO hard for me lately. I think I need school to start.

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1- 52 minutes

Wow! That was a late, (left @ 7am) long, slow, painful run. But I did it. And that's all that matters:)  It was surprisingly cool for most of the run but I still hate running in the sun.

First 45 mile week ever. Pretty cool. I feel strong. I feel sore. Jeff thinks I'm not getting enough fuel. But it may also have something to do with the fact that I did a 9 mile pace run yesterday.

Congrats to Jeff on his first ever 19 mile run!

Just saw Harry Potter with my two oldest and having dinner with friends tonight. It's a good thing cause I need to eat something other than popcorn today. Fun day!

Namaste everybody.
