find each others light

Bryan Kest Power Yoga 1- 52 minutes

Time: 39:34 Avg: 9:53 Slept in and went at 7:30 since it's a holiday. I realized later that I should have gone earlier so I had more time after to lift but I was able to squeeze it in. It was cold this morning. I wore gloves, tights and my Buff head band that covers my ears. Probably didn't need the gloves but...I kept them on. Lysa and I ran up Newcastle and back. We talked and ran what seemed like a pretty easy run to me. Didn't pay attention to my time and was pleased to see we still came in under 10 min miles without trying. Good job! Love the easy 4 milers. I remember when I could barely run 1 mile after having Josie. I'm still so grateful to be back to running and back in shape. Count my blessings everyday that I'm healthy and able to run and train for this marathon. 

30 minutes upper body weights and ab work.

(Later in the day and had to add ) We promised the kids we'd do something fun like a hike and ice cream today. Jeff wanted to go up to Alta and hike Catherine's Pass. I had no idea it would be such a long hike. We didn't get up the canyon until around 4 and started on the hike about 4:45pm. Josie was in the back pack on Jeff's back and I helped Cami. It was 2 miles all the way to the peak. We kept going another half mile after getting to the top of C's pass and went to the peak. I carried Cami, my five year old piggy back to the top. That was tough, but it was so beautiful! We could see Midway from up there. There was a guy running the trail up to the top who passed us  when we were almost to the top. He took a picture of our family up there. It was cold! We had to hurry back down and didn't get to the car until around 7:30pm. I think we hiked about 4 miles total. I forgot to say we saw 3 moose on the drive up to park at the trail head. Two calves and their mother. They were just off the road. Then on the way back to the car at the end of our hike we saw two deer. Then more deer on the road on the way down the canyon. We were all starving and went to Zupa's for dinner. It was fun, but too far for me after doing all I'd already done today. I'll probably be sore tomorrow. Hopefully I can run 6 miles in the morning.

Time: 55:10 Avg: 9:12 Ran east and back down pretty much. Probably over dressed for the weather but I'd rather be warm than cold. Felt great. Started feeling a little hungry at mile 4 cause I forgot to eat before I left. Good run. 

Time 30:02 Avg 10

Left at 6:30. My 11 yr-old daughter Lizzie came with Lysa and I and we ran around the mile and 1/2 loop twice.  I asked Lizzie if it was hard for her and she said no. She plays comp soccer and is supposed to (coach asks them to)  run or jump rope on days she doesn't have games or practice. She's a tough little cookie. Glad it wasn't thunder and lightning at 6:30. My 5 yr old woke me up at 1am terrified by the storm.

 Did Yoga Meltdown when I got home. 35 minutes. Would rather do Bryan Kest but didn't have time.

Time: 1:24:26 Avg 10:33 Well...our last long run before the race and I wanted to stay with Lysa. We left at 6am and it was pretty chilly. I'm glad I wore long sleeves and my buff band. I seriously cannot believe we're tapering already. I was feeling sad yesterday when I looked at my schedule on the fridge and it's all marked off except one more week. I've loved training for this marathon. I know I can do another, but nothing will be like my first. I'm so excited and nervous. I don't want this experience to be over. I love training and having a schedule and a fitness goal to work toward. I'm running a 10k (Love your body) at Thanksgiving Point in October with my sisters who are trying to get back into shape after babies. I also want to train for the Salt Lake Half (never done it) for next April and my sister Ashley said she might continue on in her training for that after this 10k. I'm hoping we can get my other sister Amber to do it with us too. 

 Jackie Warner Upper body and Abs workout 30 minutes

Cross day=55 minutes-Jillian Michaels. Levels 2 and 3 of her 30 day shred dvd. Strength, cardio and abs in circuits. SWEAT! I also vacuumed a lot today. Does that count? I need a nap. Excited for next week. Tapering down before the marathon. I want to try and do yoga everyday (while Josie sleeps) to keep me loose and calm. I've heard it helps with recovery after marathon. I've been doing it, just not every day.
