2 miles on the treadmill in the morning. Time: 21:18 My knees were feeling really tight and not wanting to bend. I will try to go out again later tonight.

2.5 miles in the evening.  My sister wanted to try running with me so we went out.  We ran 1.5 miles at her pace she wanted and it was way too slow for me.  Then I dropped her off and ran 1 more mile alone.  Time 9:26

2.5 miles on the treadmill in the morning. 2 mile time 21:08 .5 cool down Will probably go out again tonight. Knees still feeling a bit stiff or tight. I was kind of tired too. I was up most the night with a baby not wanting to sleep.

3 miles in the late evening.  2 miles with my sister again we ran up and back on 300 West.  Did it a little faster but not as fast as I like.  Time was 23:47   Then I dropped her off and ran another mile by myself up and back on 300 West again.  Time was 9:41  I am ready for bed hope I can get a good nights sleep tonight!!!!  Knees were still stiff I put some icy hot on them before running and they felt pretty good after a while.

2 miles on the treadmill in the morning.  I kept it at a 11:00 pace the whole time because of my knees being sore but they felt a bit better during todays run.

2 miles late this evening. Ran to the Hurricane Bridge and back. Time was 10:00, 9:20=19:20 It was quite windy (as usual) and my knee is still bothering me I may have to rest it a few days?! Dustin thinks I might have runner's knee???  It was quite a busy day but at least I got some running in finally.

1 slow mile on the treadmill in the morning.  That is about all my knee could stand.  The rest of me wanted to go longer though.  I rested and iced my knee some Saturday and Sunday.  It must need more time.

1 mile to the school to pick Jansen up.  I took our new jogging stroller that we got last night.  Good slow run but my knee is still bothering me so I took it easy.  I just wanted to try the stroller out.  We got a Baby Trend Expedition.  I think that I am going to like it.

2.5 on the treadmill in the morning.  2 miles at 12:00 pace .5 mile 15:00 pace cool down.  I wrapped my knee it did pretty good until the last 1/4 mile and then I could really feel it starting to stiffen and popping.  I will now go ice it for a while and see what it brings the rest of the day.  I hope I did not do too much.

2.5 miles on the treadmill in the morning.  2 miles at 12:00 pace .5 miles at 15:00 pace cool down.  Same as the past few days.  I wrapped my knee it felt pretty good.  I will ice it some too.  Hopefully it is getting better.  If the darn wind would quit blowing I would like to take the stroller out. It sure is whipping out there.

1.3 miles in the afternoon with the jogging stroller while Dustin tried "patiently" to teach Jansen to ride bike.   Knee started to hurt once I stopped.  Went home and iced it.  1 mile I walked to the school and back at a fast pace to Jansen's soccer game.  The weather was wonderful finally no wind!

OK! I got a little carried away listening to our new Toby Keith CD we bought. 3.5 miles in the morning on the treadmill slow and easy. 3.25 miles at 12:00 pace .25 miles at 15:00 pace. I wrapped my knee and took 2- ibuprofen. It felt pretty good the entire run. I never have put this info when I run on the treadmill but the incline is 1.5 that is as low as our treadmill goes and that is what I have always had it at. I am going to ice my knee for sure.

Decided to take Jarren out in the stroller this afternoon. 2 miles ran to my parents and back in the blazing 85* heat. Times if my stroller timer worked right. 8:47 9:28 Not bad if it was working right. Knee felt pretty good I did not wrap it this time out. It was good to get out though and enjoy the sunshine.

2 miles in the morning outside with the jogging stroller.  Ran up to my parents and back.  Pretty windy and already 70* out there.  Time was 21:35  I guess my stroller timer/mileage marker does work I took the garmin out just to see if it worked right.  They had the same calculations.

3.5 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  3.1 miles 35:05   .4 miles cool down at 15:00 pace. I keep it easy for my knees sake.   I would like to try running the La Verkin 5K loop Dustin measured out and get an idea outside rather than on the treadmill.  Maybe tonight if I get some time.  The wind is just blowing so hard here so I did not want to go out with the stroller.

2.25 miles this morning on the treadmill.  2 miles = 20:15   .25 miles = 3.45 cool down.   I had my knee wrapped and it felt pretty good so it may be getting better.  I know I keep saying this I want to try and run the La Verkin 5K loop.  I did not do it yesterday because the nasty wind was no stop.  If it dies down today I will do it today!

2 miles in the evening.  Ran with Dustin pushing Jarren in the stroller to the fire hydrant on 300 West.  Time 9:35 / 9:14=18:49  First time running without wrapping my knee.  It felt good no pain.  It also felt good to get out and run after a good weekend of fast food and snacking on junk.

Going on a field trip with Jansen's kindergarten class to the wildlife museum in St George. I will have to run tonight.

After I got back from the field trip I helped my dad trim his hedge which took several hours because it was rather large. Then as we were getting ready to go Jarren fell down the concrete stairs and hit his mouth and loosened a tooth so I had to take him over to St George to the dentist to check it out. Ends up he has cracked his jaw and it loosened his tooth. So my day has been very eventful. But I did finally get a short run in and it has been my best time so far! and even in the wind!

2 miles in the evening to the bridge and back. VERY windy!! Time 18:00

2 miles in the morning with Jarren in the stroller. Ran 300 West to fire hydrant and back. Time 9:48/9:52=19:00 Felt tired the whole run but it was nice to get out. I did have to get up several time last night with Jarren that may be why I'm still tired. I would like to go do 2 more miles tonight too.

I got in a car accident with Jansen and Jarren this afternoon so I may not go out tonight. I'm a bit shaken up. Luckily no one got hurt thank goodness. It was not my fault, but looks like I'll be a few days without my car.

3.25 miles in the morning on the treadmill. Time 32:30 10:00 pace Felt good knee has felt good all week too. I would have gone longer but my son unplugged the treadmill so it was a sudden stop at a good time I guess. I went outside and walked it off some in the nice wind. I might have to go run some more later tonight so I can at least get 15 miles for the week.  I did not sleep very well last night I kept having flash backs from the accident yesterday.  The reason why I am thinking because I have only been in 2 car accidents and 17 years ago was when the other one happened and it actually happened at the exact intersection.  What is the chances of that?!?  The other weird thing was My sister and I were actually talking about the 1st accident while we were walking to the school to pick up our boys that morning.  Ok I better quit rambling on.

3.25 on the treadmill in the morning.  3 miles =30:00  .25 miles = 3.33  slowed it down to cool off.  It is way to warm to be running on the treadmill in my house.  I was burning up and I even had the fans going.  I tried watching the Price is Right without Bob it is just not the same.  Sorry Drew!   Felt good ! No pain anywhere today just overheated!

1 measly mile to the school with the stroller. Time I think was around 10:20 I really can't remember to be honest.  My day was very busy.  I had to deal with the insurance and appraisers about getting our car fixed.  Then I had to get our car towed to St George and then meet them at the auto body shop to sign paper work.  What a long day!  And to top that off I had Jarren barfing all day too.
