Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

I am married to a supportive and driven husband. Together we enjoy geocaching, hiking, camping, reading and playing games with our three rambunctious children.

Aside from running, I am a homemaker and a Mental Health Therapist. Running has given me the ability to better concert my energies between my family, faith and friends.

This morning I planned to run 5 miles, but had to turn around after a couple minutes. My hamstring and glut are pretty sore. Likely a bike ride or walk tonight. This is getting annoying.

7.5 total cross train at gym.1.5 hours.

3 miles elliptical

1.5 miles on treadmill

3 miles bike

Had to cut back intensity several times so it was hard to get a cardio workout, last 30 minutes started to elevate. Rolled out muscles afterwards. For sure out this weekend for UV Half. Do you think I need to tell the race director since he gave me a complementary entry? It will be fun regardless to cheer everyone on! FRB members are going to do really well!

6 miles down and back on Main. No back pain for two days straight, still working on the hammy and glut with some progress. I didn't realize how much I had injured my hamsting/glut after the 30K. Looking back at my training, it is clear why that happened. I did not prep properly for that long run or race it no less. Grateful for the blog and what it teaches me. Another realization I have come to understand is that if I hadn't hurt my back the next day after the 30k, I think I would have ignored my injury and continued to push. It could have been much worse. So the back injury was a blessing in disguise. It made me rest without much choice.  I think we have to all have to reframe these setbacks to accept disappointments and grow from them...or we'll always be down and negative no matter what. Huh. Happy running today!

Cheered and ran with several friends running UVM. Crazy wind in the canyon, but otherwise good day. Why did I wear jeans and a sweater? Good call on the stretchy jeans though. No serious pain, just need to cut off my right glut and I think this will all go away.
