| 2 hour trail run with Ry. Found a new way to get up to the water tower and then took a different trail that led us to the most wonderful and breathtaking spot right around the halfway point. Comfortable chatting pace with a couple little hiking portions. My Ry has grown his hair out a bit for the first time (I have been begging for years). Not gonna lie, he looked quite good today on those trails in his sunglasses and new Nike white tights under his running shorts! Weather and company were perfect!!! :-) |

| 3 easy and wonderful miles with Rylee and Smo. Mostly talking about Rylee going to college and wondering where that will be. She has worked so hard in high school and it has paid off. She has been offered multiple presidential scholarships but has not heard back from all the schools to which she applied yet. She will not give any indication of which school she is leaning most towards until she has heard from them all. I thought a run could pull that out of her but it didn't. Ha! :-) 30 minutes easy bike Yoga Back to work tomorrow with no upcoming paid holidays in sight! Dang!!!! Was definitely spoiled having so many long weekends over the holidays. Hey, quick question for any of you who may be reading this (like one or two people, ha ha). Has anyone worked 4 10 hour shifts in lieu of 5 8s? I'm considering it but don't know if I could make it through 10 hours without feeling completely exhausted and missing my kiddos like crazy. I realize it's only 2 hours longer than 8, but for some reason that 7th and 8th hour already do me in. Ha! |

| 7 early chilly miles with Shelbey on the Bloomington Trail. Can I just say that Shelbey rocks! We have been working together now for 8 months and still hang out whenever we can. I often have a hard time believing how lucky I am to work with someone who I love to be around so much. It's kind of freaky how many times the exact same words come out of each of our mouths at the exact same time. Or how we often think the most random thoughts simultaneously. I honestly don't know how it is possible. Sometimes it freaks us both out a bit. My kids and Ry get a kick out of it though! Now for the bad news . . . I regret to inform the few of you who may read this that my lucky powerball tickets were not as lucky as I had planned. So alas, I will not providing new shoes nor a lifetime of electrolytes of your choice to any of you. |

| 8 miles So I LOVE this little clip that my kids' high school's student council put together for the girls basketball team. It will be shown at all home games when they announce the starters. They are Desert Hills Thunder . . . . So the song is very fitting! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! Rylee (my oldest, a senior) is the first girl you see in the clip and then a couple times after that. She is number 3. The clip is one minute with footage but the rest is just a black screen as the music plays. So if you have 59 free seconds check it out! I LOVE BASKETBALL SEASON!!!!! http://youtu.be/Ix8W-v1r_NA Not sure how to make it a link on my iPad so you may have to copy and paste. The mama pride in me is beaming full force!!! THUNDER . . . . Duh nuh nuh nuh nuhhhhhhh . . . . THUNDER!!!! |

| 10 ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC miles on a beautiful portion of the Desert Tortoise Reserve trail system with Shelbey and Ry!! Seriously, this run was money! I am a clinical instructor for a PTA student right now who will graduate in the next few months. Anyway, she is in the clinic with me for seven weeks. One day she heard Shelbey and I talking about where we were going to do our next long run. She interrupted and told us about this place she takes her dog. Oh my goodness, it was heaven!! I wish I could post a picture on here from my iPad. We ran on dirt along beautiful red rock. The miles you could run out there seem endless. At our half way mark there was this beautiful rock that reminded me of The Wave (if you have every hiked there). Absolutely breathtaking. We snapped some pretty cool shots (Shelbey runs with her phone). About 6 miles into the run Ry got some hip pain, so he would run a little then walk a little. Every time he would need to walk Shelbey and I would do 15 burpees and then catch back up and he would run again. We were able to get in 60 burpees. LOVED this run! |

| 9 miles with Shelbey after work. Dang it was windy!!! Like crazy mad wind wanting to knock you straight to your buttocks mad wind!!! We were trying to convince each other how tough we were! But then we would think of one of our patients who's husband died roughly 20 years ago and she proceeded to take care of a giant ranch on her own for 18 years! Now that woman is tough!!!! :-) Love running with Shelbey! |

| Big 'ol zero for the running miles today! Roughly 10 hours of driving in 24 hours is no fun! To and back from SLC for Livvy's cheer competition and then four basketball games and Rylee's prom in the evening. I have never been to a cheer competition, I wasn't a cheerleader and my two oldest girls have dedicated their extra curricular life to basketball and track. So this was new for me. I wasn't sure how it would be. Dang . . . Some of those girls are insane!!! Crazy strong!!! It was SO MUCH FUN watching Livvy do her thing! This is new to her as well, but she LOVES it! So proud of her for sticking to what she wanted to do even though it is very different that any of her other siblings. Seriously, she melts my heart!!! :-) Ry hurt his neck tonight messing with a ceiling fan. Boo! | | Add Comment |

| Well . . . 12 weeks to Boston, I guess it's time for me to step up the miles. I have to admit that I was really liking the 5ish miles a day bit. I have got to figure out a way to convince myself that I will like the 6ish miles a day and then the 7ish miles a day and so forth (as well as the much longer weekend runs) just as much! Ha! 11 miles, AP 7:55 Absolutely beautiful weather other than the west wind. It was sunny and gorgeous. As long as I wasn't running directly west it felt ideal! I was tempted to just run north and south but I decided that I would make a big loop and suck it up! :-) I was by my lonesome since Ry hurt his neck yesterday, and Shelbey had already showered by the time I was ready to run! Ha! I was shocked that I didn't see any runners out today, maybe because I didn't get out the door until 10ish. Hee Hee! Got home and worked the glutes a bit: 50 lunges 50 squats 50 SLS back kicks |

| Not a fun day. Short version: Smo has been sick. She was trying to avoid telling us how sick she was because she didn't want to miss her basketball practice or games. Yesterday she took a turn for the worst. Last night when she asked to sleep with me I realized that it was bad (that is so not like her). She woke up in the middle of the night crying that her ear hurt. She had a fever and I was tempted to take her into the emergency department but when she fell back asleep Ry and I decided that one of us would just take her to the instacare in the morning. She was still asleep when I left for work (I didn't run because I had been up with her multiple times and was beat). About an hour after I left Ry said she woke up crying again and this time as she got up blood started pouring from her ear. Ry took her to the Instacare. She had ruptured her ear drum and had a bad infection. She was but on IV for fluids and antibiotic. Poor thing. | | Add Comment |

| Another restless night with Smo by my side. The pain and the bleeding have not subsided. Smo has an appointment with an ENT in about a week. It's hard to get the drops in her ears because there is still so much blood and drainage. :-( | | Add Comment |

| 6.5 miles Smo slept with me one more time. She did much better last night only waking up 2-3 times to wipe out her ear. It is still draining but slowly down measurably. The pain is still there but not as intense. The dizziness has subsided. She still cannot hear out of that ear though. Wish we could have gotten into the ENT sooner. |

| 6.5 miles, nice and easy Hip extension in plank, 3 X 15 B Hip abduction in side plank, 3 X 10 B Bridge with SL extension, 3 X 10 B Smo is unbelievable. She seriously just tried to convince me to go to Dicks Sporting Goods and buy her a wrestler's ear guard for her. She whole heartedly argued that she should be allowed to play in her two basketball games if I get that for her because in her words, "it would protect [her] ear!" That girl!!!!!!! |

| 5.5 TM miles (Summit) Lunges and bar squats with Rylee (135 lb 3 X 8: used the track system because I am kind of wimpy, ha!) Rylee is way tougher than me when it comes to weights! I need to get my butt in gear! :-) |

| 12 miles with Shelbey! Ry ran the first 4 with us but has been getting over a cold so called it good at that point. A little drizzle but nothing heavy. Temps actually felt pretty dang good! Bloomington Trail then Summit loop. LOVE running with Shelbey! She signed up for her first marathon on May 7th! I really think she could BQ on her first full! Crazy how easy running comes to her. She was a collegiate soccer player so totally makes sense! She is freaking amazing. Everything felt nice and easy. Ran our first half really easy with an average pace of 8:50 (just grabbed the whole time felt really good). Ran the second half faster at an 8:17 pace, but still felt really comfortable. Conversation never waned and we threw in a couple of marathon paced miles still gabbing away! NICE! Got home, hopped on the TM for one more mile because I wanted 13 today. Need to hit 39+ miles this week. Wanted 35 last week and barely hit it. I have run marathons on as little as peaking at 36 miles per week, and as high as an 83 miles per week peak. I think this time around I will shoot towards something in the middle, 60 miles per week peak sounds pretty okay to me. We will see! :-) Burpees 3 x 15 Skier crunches 3 x 15 Happy new week, All! :-) |
