I've noticed a giagantic difference between my consistency in workouts when I am blogging versus when I am not. So here's another attempt at putting my best foot forward (or at least a better foot forward). I'm still trying to get used to balancing working full time with all else (including the kiddo's schedules which seem to be getting busier and busier). You would think that since it has now been over a year that it would be old hat. Nope. But I'm trying. :-)

3.0 trail miles (up, up, up then down, down, down) with Ry and Smo (behind D-hills).

Did I happen to mention as part of my Mother's Day Ry committed to one more marathon. :-) :-) :-)

Joke that one of my patient's told me today went something like this:

Q: What do you do if you cross a half parrot half shark specimen?

A: Who cares. But if it says, "Polly wants a cracker you better well give the *#@! thing a *#@! cracker!"

(And he used the explicitives without shame and then proceeded to laugh straight from his belly. I kid you not! It totally cracked me up!)

I LOVE it when people laugh so whole-heartedly!!!!

Nothing for me today. Got back from Provo not too long ago where Smo competed in her first USATF sanctioned event this year. She has amazed me with the way she has juggled 3 basketball teams and track. She has not been able to compete this year much secondary to ball tournaments. Since next weekend is the USATF Utah State Championship she really wanted to compete to gauge her level of readiness. She did AWESOME!!

Here are her results:

Sophia (13), 13-14 division

1500 meters - 5:26.xx, 1st place

* A new personal record by a fraction of a second. She finished with far too much gas in the tank, running her first two laps much slower than she likely should have. I wish they would have run the younger division with them since Tate Beasely is in the younger division and ran a 5:24.xx. They could have pushed each other and gone for broke! :-)

800 meters - 2:33.xx, 1st place

* This was a break through race for Smo! A personal best by 7 seconds. Regretting having too much left in the tank on her 1500 she decided to give it everything. They ran the boys with the girls for this event. Smo decided to try and stay close to to the leading guys which proved very effective. Her last 150 meters were AMAZING!! She finished neck and neck with the third leading guy and within a handful of seconds of the number one and two (official results show Smo actually beating the 3rd place guy by 1/100th of a second). It was AWESOME! And because I have zero shame when it comes to bragging up my kiddos here is the footage. She is in the bright yellow singlet. :-)

Hope that link works (since I am doing this on an ipad you will likely have to copy and paste it if you'd like to take a look).

For all of you who ran or raced today, I hope you loved it!!! :-)

9 running miles

* 6 by myself, 1 with the twins and 2 with Smo. Smo and I ran what we have dubbed "The Critter Valley Loop." On our short two miles we saw 3 deer, 3 bunnies, 1 chipmunk (we think that is what it was), 2 squirrels, 5 lizards and lots of colorful birds. It was AWESOME!

1000 meter swim

box jumps

bird dogs with claps

plank spins: forward plank, to push up with clap, to side plank with hip abduction, to dip, to side plank with hip abduction then repetitions

B SL stance with eyes closed

Still in awe of Smo's performances yesterday. Her 2:33 800 really got her fired up.
