3.25 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  Time was 32:30  Same as I usually do.  Got to go buy a new car seat today the insurance is sending someone out to pick up the one I had.  I guess if a car seat has been in an accident no matter how serious it is it has to be disposed of and buy new per the law.  So I am headed back to St George again today.

2.25 miles in the evening on the treadmill.  2 miles = 20:00 min    .25 miles cool down at a slower pace = 5:00 minutes.  Another busy day.  I had to go get my Utah drivers license.  Yes I never change my Colorado license over when we moved here.  The Highway Patrolman was going to cite me for that but was nice and gave me a week to get it changed over.  I am excited to run my first 5K race in the morning!  Hope I can do it!  Goal I hope for is around 30:00 minutes or less.  Good luck to whoever else is running the Hurricane 1/2 and 5K too!

Ran my first 5K! Great race despite the difficult night of staying up with sick kids until 2:00 am and had to be at the race at 5:30 am. Then Dustin set the alarm for 4:45 pm not am and we were lucky that he suddenly woke up at 5:28 am. We made a mad dash to get dressed and over to the bus. Got there as the last buses where getting ready to pull out. Nice morning a bit on the chilly side though. No wind that was the best!! I was really impress let alone surprised with my times. I did not realize that I was going that fast. I got a silver medal for taking 2nd place in my age division. I am glad that I signed up and did it!

Time: 26:11

No run at all today.  I finally took Jarren to the doctor since he has been sick over a week.  He has 2 ear infections again.  This makes 5 since Dec.  Then we had a BBQ/Swimming birthday party for my cousins daughter over in St George.  That took the whole night and now I really don't feel like getting out and running.

3.25 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  Time 32.30  I had to stop after 2 miles and get a cold wet rag for my face.  I was way too hot I felt like I was about to pass out.  It must be getting too hot for the treadmill for me.  But I got back on and ran 1.25 more miles.

3.25 in the morning on the treadmill.  Time 32:00    3 miles=28:40 .25 miles=3:20  I had a gut ache for most of the last mile.  I am sure it was due to the pizza and birthday cake from last nights party!  But it was fun!

Another hot 3.25 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  Time 32:00  3 miles=29:00 .25 miles =3:00.  I got kind of dizzy for a minute trying to watch Jansen play his new Mario Kart game so I had to change the position of the treadmill.  Now to packing Jarren and I are headed to Salt Lake to take my grandma to a Mother's Day Brunch while Dustin, Jordan and Jansen go to the Father's and Son's campout.

After a weekend of not running, eating good food and having fun I hit the treadmill.  I could feel that my body did not want to get going for a while.  But I did get the 3.25 miles in 33:30 done.  I was going to go outside to run but it was way too windy.  I may try and go outside tonight if I find time.

3.25 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  Time 33:00  Felt good until I rolled my right ankle at about 2.70 miles into the run.  But I kept going hoping it would work it out.  Wish the wind would quit so I could go out and run with the stroller again.  On a good note I get to go pick up our car finally!  It's finally fixed-I hope!

What a nice morning for a run!  No wind and it was not hot yet.  Ran the LaVerkin 5K loop backwards than the normal way we usually run it.  Had Jarren in the stroller he fell asleep before the 1st mile. So nice to be outside and off the treadmill!

What a busy day! I had to take our youngest son Jarren to the dentist today to get his siamese tooth fixed. He ended up getting 2 root canals and 2 caps. They did this under sedation so he was out of it for quite some time after. What a trooper he is. Then we had t-ball for Jansen. I finally got my short 2 mile run in at 9:30 pm. Time: 9:13/9:23=18:33 I ran to the fire hydrant and back on 300 West. Very windy the whole entire run. All I can say is I am so sick of the wind it sure can stop anytime soon!

3 great miles outside with Jarren in the stroller. I really did not have a real route I just ran all over LaVerkin with Mr. Garmin telling me the distance. Time: 29:37 9:47/9:35/10:15 Nice to get outside there was a little breeze to keep me cool because it was starting to warm up pretty fast.!  Jarren loves going in the stroller he always falls asleep around mile 1 but when he is awake he always loves running past all the animals. He gets really excited.

Another Hot one today!  Same 3.1 mile run as yesterday with Jarren in the stroller and Jansen jogging along.  Dropped Jansen off at school so the first .5 mile was a bit slower.  A breeze was starting to pick up some.

Time: 31:41  11:09/10:12/10:20

No run today.  I had Jansen's Kindergarten Graduation to go to.  Way to go Jansen!!!!  Then the weather got really yucky between the horrible wind and the off and on rain I had no desire to go out.  The treadmill was just not appealing me either.  We also had t-ball games to go too.

Not a good day for a run. I just was struggling through it. I was up off and on all night with Jarren and then he decided at 4:00 am he was up for the morning. So I really was dragging on todays run. Ran 1 mile outside with Jarren in the stroller and for .5 of the mile Jansen jogging along until we got him to school. Then I decided the weather was still yucky and cold so I ran 2.1 on the treadmill. 1 mile outside 10:04 --2.1 miles on the treadmill 21:04 Overall time 31:08 Now I've got to get to doing laundry and packing we are headed out to Colorado and then Milwaukee for about 10 days.

3 miles in the morning on the treadmill.  Time 30:00  We are headed to Colorado this afternoon for a few days and then to Milwaukee for a week.  I hope to get some running in but I am not sure when and if it will all fit in but I will try.  The plan is to run a 5K on Monday in Colorado.

We made it to Craig, Colorado late last night.  A good 9 hour drive. The little boys slept most of the way so they were not tired once we got there and the excitement of seeing their Grandparents was beyond.  I sure was ready for bed but they were not.  Finally got to bed about 2 am.  Got up and realized my in-laws had a treadmill so I got on it and ran 3 miles.  Time was 28:06  I really overheated they had their fireplace going.  So after the run I went outside in the cool crisp Colorado air.  It was a nice cool off.  Dustin and I are planning to run the 5K on Monday.  Tonight Dustin and I are going to the Collin Raye concert here in town.

Ran the Boot Scoot 5K here in Craig, Colorado with Dustin. Well he left me in the dust and then came back to get me. He took 1st place. They did not have any awards or even timed us. Not even any after race treats either. Dustin had his Garmin and the race was not quite a 5K even. But according to my watch my time was 26:42. They did not have the miles marked so I don't know the splits for them. There were some major hills most of the race. But I am glad I got up and ran it. I was the 2nd girl that finished. I ran with the 1st girl most of the way she had her dog with her. Then Dustin came back and got me and ran with me about .5 left of the race.

Walked around the Milwaukee Zoo all day long.  It was really fun to see the boys all excited about the animals.  Rain some of the time we were there but it ended up being a nice day.  No run but a lot of hours of walking.

Spent the entire day walking Downtown Chicago and Navy Pier. It was a lot of fun. Plenty of walking again!  This has not been a very good week for running miles for me.  I am planning to finish the vacation and then once we get back home and on a normal schedule I will get back to running!
