Just really happy right now.

Ran the race I wanted to. My pace did slow from mile 20 to the finish, but I was okay with that. We were all in the same boat ... it was HOT, and I was running the best I could for that moment. I turned on some tunes (compliments of Fonz's "help dull the pain" collection) and held on for dear life. :)

It was great to run a bit with Matt (best physiology prof EVER), Larry and Lyman. It was also quite satisfying to slap Slick as hard as I could on his buttocks around mile 22 (payback).

It has been a wonderful running season. I accomplished more than I thought I could. I PR'd and ended up placing 3rd overall in the Slam. The plaque was really nice and I received a $50 gift card to Wasatch Running as well. Nice!!!

As always, it was so good to spend time with friends. There were so many of us that met up at the buses that we almost filled one entirely by ourselves. VERY COOL!!

** Quick question: Why is it that each time I could tell that someone was about to throw up (happened 4 times) that I told myself: "Teena, don't look" AND THEN I PROCEEDED TO LOOK????

Not too sore. Legs quite tired and heavy.

*Have to find new shoes since they aren't making my faves anymore. Wore my mizunos. The next day had some pain in my left anterior compartment. Dang ... I love how these shoes feel, but every time I run in them I have compartment issues. Stink.

*Feeling blah and lazy. Need to find the motivation to pick it up. I'm pretty certain that once SGM was over my body said, "HALLELUJAH ... I'm shutting down for a bit." Come on body ... snap out of it!!!!

Wore my Asics. They just don't feel like home. DANG, bring my Adidas Bostons back. Crazy how attached I have become to them. I went through 11 pairs of those babies.

Any suggestions on a really good neutral shoe with a lot of cushion in the front?

Wore my adidas (how will I ever be able to replace these shoes?). Shocked at how good I felt.

Stopped for 5 minutes to grab a drink at my Mom and Dad's at about the halfway point.

** I pushed super hard. Was so happy to have to wait for a light with a little under 1 mile to go. I shouldn't admit it ... but I was! :)

** Why did the french fries from McDonald's smell so good? I am NOT a McDonald's fan ... but dang they smelled heavenly as I ran by.

Today was one of those days when life is just plain good!

Spent the morning and evening with the birthday girl, my SSF. :) :) :)

We ran the Rail Trail in Park City with Brooke and Matt. Absolutely wonderful conversation and company. Just enjoyed being in the moment. :)

In the evening we saw Secretariat. WOW!!!! Absolutely LOVED this movie! It was one of those flicks where you leave feeling wonderful. Yes, I know, some of it is a little cliche', but dang, I fell for it!!! :) :) :)

One of my favorite lines was: "... you don't know far you can go until you run."

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Smooth!!! :)

**Drivers seemed to be extra considerate today. Practically each time I approached some sort of intersection/street they would back up their cars to give me extra room. Now I feel like being extra nice today! Very cool. :) :) :)

10.1 on the JRP, AP 8:06

So ... I didn't get into Boston. Last night I was sick about it. However, today I am feeling much better.

I'm thinking I might run one of these two marathons instead (see links below). They are both during my Spring Break and so would work out PERFECTLY. They look awesome!!! Ry and I could make a vacation out of it since I will have a week off. :) :) :)

Anyone know anything about either of these races?

Met Rick and Steve a little after 5 for an early morning run. I was shocked when my hands were freezing to the point that my fingers hurt. Great run, great company. :)

My left vastus medialis was twitching for roughly two hours last night. When I woke up this morning it started twitching again. I decided to run a recovery/easy run today.

*GREAT* run with the Chumps/Physio running groups at City Creek! Had a fantastic time running with Fly, Andy, Paul, JohnnyV, Matt, Dave, Brooke, JD, Jake, and Allie (not TOU winner Allie, another Allie). I thought I was doing really great hanging with Andy and Fly until in between my gasps for air I noticed Andy was texting while running. DANG!!!! :) :) :)

Afternoon:

3.5 miles

*AWESOME* run with Ry in the rain. When we got home we were sopping wet! It was so much fun. :) :) :)

**** I wish every run could be as fun as they were today!!!! ****

2 miles by myself and then 6 miles with Fly on the Bonneville Shoreline. I had such a good time!!! I am not used to running on trails and it showed as I was quite out of control on the downhill portions, BUT MAN WAS IT FUN!!!! I loved everything about it, especially the muddy parts! Thanks Fly! :)

evening:

3 easy miles on the treadmill.
