Jackie Warner Total Body Circuit-40 min

I finally got some new shoes. Didn't want to spend as much as I did on the Kinsei 3 so I went with the Asics Nimbus 12. Hope they make me as happy. Will try them out for real on the TM tomorrow.

60 minute interval training TM run. I watched "What not to wear" and "Baby story" and listened to music on commercials. Started crying when they put the baby on the Mom's chest while running at 7.5 speed, not a good combo. I ran at 8.0 for a minute at some point. Or maybe it was 30 seconds. It was hard.

MY NEW SHOES ARE GREAT! I'll run in them till Sunday when I have to put them back in the box and wrap them for my b-day.

By the way Lysa and JD. I noticed I did put in initial mileage was 80 on those Kinsei's so that is the total mileage. We had this conversation before the marathon. Anyway, LOTS of miles on those shoes. I seriously want to frame them Lys seeing as they were my first marathon shoes!

Time 1:00:01 AP 9:08

It was 48 degrees when I left at 7:42am. Warm compared to yesterday morning but I still could have used my gloves. The sky was bright blue with pink clouds at first but faded quickly. Went around part of the big block and up Newcastle over to the water tank and turned right to go past Albion. Ran past the "winter Yellowstone buffalo" which looked more in its element with a little snow on the roof of the house and on the grass. Down Alta Canyon(?) which turns into Viscounti. Ran on that street to the back of Flat Iron Mesa Park and ran up the back of it. Straight up for about a minute or two. Around the park and up to home.

First time outside in my new shoes. Felt good.

Time: 1:31:18 AP 8:47 Best mile was 7 at 8:19

Beautiful run down Sundance and Provo Canyon. My canyons! I was born in Provo and grew up skiing at Sundance. I ran over a bridge at Canyon Glen that I jumped off of into the rushing water below when I was 10 yrs old (my Dad dared me and was waiting for me at the bottom)

So, hey! The Halloween half marathon just happened to be going on:) K. I'm being silly, Lysa and I went to support her Sis-in-law who was running the race. Well, Lysa was THE support and I was going for a fun birthday run. We got separated and I just decided to run my 10 miles and race a little :) I never stopped for POP's and didn't take water, gu whatever since I wasn't registered. I had on my water belt. Came across a girl who was on the path, on the ground and holding her ankle. Found out later that it was Erin's (the sis-in-law) friend and Lysa stopped to help her. 

I gotta go shower and help the fam carve pumpkins downstairs and make breadsticks from scratch to eat with Lysa's yummy chili tonight so gotta go.

 Oh, I almost forgot! I saw Allie after I finished the race! I was done and watching the runners with Lysa and Erin's husbands and she ran by holding a pace marker sign (2:05? am I right?) and I  called out to her. I think she saw me. It was fun to see you Allie!
