| 7 miles, AP 7:50 (including warm up mile) with Shelbey this evening. It was chilly, but not as chilly as it is up north!! :-) 8:39 (warm up), 7:46, 7:50, 7:42, 7:44, 7:35, 7:39 Love running with Shelbey. The goal was an 8:12 pace (her desired MP for her first marathon). We beat that by a long shot! She is AMAZING!!! Up into the Washington Fields area by some crazy huge houses and back. Reach curls: 3 x 10 Side reach curls: 3 x 10 each direction SL bridges: 3 x 10 B ************************** Funny story: I have this patient that cracks me up!!! He has worked crazy hard and ready for discharge. Upon reviewing everything for self management he asks for another one of my cards. I say, "Sure." I go to grab it and he asks, "Don't you want to know why I need another one?" I say, "Absolutely." His response (which had me rolling): "I hung the first business card you gave me in the bathroom stalls at the Beaver gas station! I wrote: 'For a mediocre time call . . ." OH MY . . . I couldn't stop laughing! I love people with a sense of humor like that!!! |

| 14 miles (13.3 with Shelbey, AP 8:29 and .7 by myself later in the afternoon just because I wanted 14). Smo had a game in Kanab at 9 which meant we had to run early. Shelbey freaking rules and met me at the trail head at 4:45 a.m. I just LOVE her! Ran both Bloomington and Virgin Trail loops. This was Shelbey's longest run to date. She rocked it!

Beautiful evening run with Shelbey up to the airport, scrambling the crags at the top, and then back down. We were both tired from work so just took it fairly easy with a few pushes. Enjoyed the scenery and the company. The hill is killer but we had a great time.

Had to be in Vegas early Saturday morning so Shelbey and I decided to get our long run in after work. Our week at work has been crazy. We were both exhausted. We chose a hilly course but were committed to taking it easy. Ry ran 7 of the miles with us which was nice! I think he may start running more again. Crossing my fingers.

| 5 miles, AP 7:36, this evening during sundown. Trying to squeeze in a run between the kiddos cheer competitions and basketball games. Had no choice but to run faster to make it to Sherm's game in time. 6:30/7ish in the evening and still mid 60s. I love St. George!

| 9 miles. 2.5 miles to Summit, 8:03 AP 2 fast miles on the TM at Summit, 6:59 AP followed by: Leg press Quads/HS Standard plank Depth jumps Box jumps 2.5 miles home, 7:55 AP then 2 miles with Iggy (who ran much slower tonight, 9:22 AP) With the weights and plyos in the middle the whole workout lasted just under 2 hours. I start my 4 X 10 hour shifts at work tomorrow. Hoping it goes well. It does mean that I have to get up even earlier now or run at night. Ugh . . . It will probably be a combination of them both! |

Great run for me, but icky run for Ry. :-(
First, having Friday's off rules!!!! Was able to get in my long run today (which is a scale back week). The plan was to run 7 miles by my lonesome and then pick up Ry who would be waiting with bells for the last 6! :-)
I figured I'd run hard on my own and then enjoy the company for the final 6.
Miles 1-7, AP 7:45. Summit loop with extension. Hilly loop. Ran hard, not max, but hard. Didn't have to stop at any lights so kept the pace honest. Felt great about these miles as I was able to keep a good pace even on the uphill miles. With that said was happy to finish those 7 miles and take it easier with Ry.
Mile 8, AP 8:57. True to his word Ry was ready when I arrived but not with bells. I knew immediately when we started to run that something was off. Just shy of a mile Ry stopped and started dry heaving. Needless to say we turned around and headed home. Walked a few minutes with him to make sure he was good. After that he insisted a go and finish my run so we could leave for SLC on time.
Miles 9-13, AP 7:35. Pickle ball loop with rustic loop. I was feeling pretty good after the 3 minute walk with Ry. I decided that I would see if I could pick up the pace again and match my prior pace. I was pleased when I saw each mile click in. I was feeling strong but starting to feel the fatigue. I kept telling myself to just hang on for another mile. Then the magical feeling you get when the mile clicks in faster than you were expected that gives you a little boost would take over. Last mile was my fastest at a 7:22. No stops other than the one with Ry.
Feel super great about this run. :-)
Go Thunder Girls!!!! :-)

| 12 miles First 6.5 miles with Ry in the trails just southeast of our house. Found a way to the new airport that is all on trail! SWEET!!! We are going to call it Rock City because of all the big gorgeous rocks you pass on the way up. Well, Ry actually only ran 5.5 of those miles with me because during the steep uphill he found one of those big rocks to lay flat on his back and soak in some rays while I ran up and down it. Hilarious!! What I would have given for a camera. It would have been an amazing pic from up above. Next time. When we returned at 6.5 I straightway went out for another 3.5 miles (pushing the last two) to make an even 10. Then about an hour after that I could tell that Iggy wanted to go for a jog so I took her out for another couple of miles at a decent clip. She is such a fun dog! Ever since we started running together she doesn't want to leave my side! She's laying down right next to me as I type this. I LOVE HER!!! :-) Oh, and I can't forget all of the Bocci Ball and Blokus today! :-) :-) :-) Happy new week, All. :-) |

| 18 FANTASTIC super easy (except for 1) miles. Shelbey has a niggle and so we decided to take it crazy easy since this is the farthest she has ever run and she was having calf problems earlier in the week. We had SO SO SO much fun. Miles 1-4 with Iggy (Iggy didn't need to stop even once, of course we were running super easy, but still) Miles 5-16 Shelbey and I dropped Iggy off at home and then headed out to Rock City. We LOVE that place!!! Feeling the dirt underneath your feet makes it almost feel like your feet are getting a massage!! At least that is what we were telling ourselves! Ha!!! Like I said, we just ran crazy easy and chatted up a storm. Lots of laughing! At one point (well actually two points, but I was only aware of one) we ran across a mad smoking doobies (is that a real word) with his dogs. Shelbey says, "Oh there's that guy again." I responded, "What guy?" She's like, "You are kidding me, right? You saw him before, right?" I answer, "Nope!" She responds, "No way you should ever run by yourself, you are oblivious to your surrounding!!" We couldn't stop laughing because I honestly did not see him the first time. Mile 17-18 Picked up Rylee (who gets done with school around 11) and she ran the last couple with us. SO MUCH FUN! Seriously, that was a run that I could run everyday! Our pace was so easy that the first 10 miles felt like nothing. After we finished we all made some yummy watermelon smoothies, brought out a speaker, and shared the hammock in the backyard and chatted some more! I LOVE HAVING FRIDAYS OFF!!!!!!! |

| Today was bitter sweet. Spend most of the day in Cedar City at SUU watching the state championship games. Rylee's team did not make it to the finals so that was sad, but we wanted to watch the game and Rylee had to be there to accept her All State Academic Award at half time. I could not be more proud of my girl. I tried so hard not to cry and mostly succeeded but I had to fight the tears big time. I felt my throat closing off on me as I tried to hold back my emotions. Basketball has been such a huge part of her life, and now that chapter is coming to end. She is more than prepared to move on to all the good things the world has to offer her, I'm just not prepared. Ugh ... I love that girl!!! Got home and ran 4.5 miles with Ry up towards Rock City and then another 1.5 with Iggy. Iggy is becoming quite the runner! Today she ran her 1.5 at a 7:43 pace. Who knew I could love a dog so much! The second she sees me in my running clothes she heads straight to the front door and lays on her back waiting for me to put on the leash. She is SO CUTE!!!! :-) Goal this week was 50 miles! I did it! :-) |
