11.5 miles around my old high school and stomping grounds AP 8:32.
Sad day. My good high school friend, Rick, collapsed yesterday after a short run (no explanation for why he collapsed, he was in very good health). He was without oxygen for 20 minutes before being life-flighted to IMC. He is presently in ICU, things do not look favorable. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

We were in St. George for the weekend to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with my grandpa. So running this half was extremely convenient and fulfilled one of the two races required to complete the runners series. Bonus! :)
Beautiful day for a race. It has been a tough week and so my only goals were to run hard and enjoy the moment. I must admit that I was a tad nervous since last time I ran this race I was rewarded with a stress fracture that took over 6 months to completely heal.
I decided to push myself to a hard pace but one that would still allow for a speedy recovery if I needed one at all. One of the greatest lessons I learned this year with all my racing is knowing when I am at that pace. :)
Pleasantly surprised with my time of 1:34:03. Had I known that I was only 13 seconds behind the 3rd place woman in my division I could have pushed harder. Oh well. I will gladly take the 3 1/2 minute PR.
This course is stunning and fast! :)
Splits: 7:04, 7:19, 7:04, 6:40, 6:39, 6:35, 6:50, 7:43, 7:10, 7:19, 7:40, 7:39, 7:28, 6:23 pace (for .16)
Watched Matt, Brooke and my SSF come in and then hurried to the condo to shower and get back in time for the 1 mile Kids Run (4 of my 5 kids ran it). They did SO SO SO good. I was shocked that they had these kids run up and down a significant hill. They were rewarded with a shirt and medal!
Smooth, Brooke, Matt and Me after the race! :)
4 out of the 5 cutest kids EVER after their race! :)

9 miles on the BST with Mark.
Had so much fun ... but dang it was steep and muddy today!!! :) We ran to the highest tower, roughly a 1500 ft climb in a little over 4 miles.
I love running with Mark. I love the conversation, environment, geology lessons and all the good finds! Today we found an abandoned camp/living quarters of some sort. Good times!!! :) :) :) |

** On a side note: While I was doing homework last night I was semi-tuned into the news that was on FOX 13. I usually don't watch that channel when it comes to news, last night was a prime example why. I didn't catch all of the details, but apparently some restaurant owner (or someone) was taken hostage somewhere around Milcreek canyon. The guy who was held hostage was driving while the criminal had a gun. To the guy's credit he ran his truck into a police station to get someone's attention. Here's the part that just kills me, the news lady then proceeded to ask the guy reporter telling the story: "I wonder why he ran into the police building, didn't he have a cell phone with him?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????

~ 16 miles
Love my thursday runs with Fly. Needless to say, I am going to call the route we ran today, "Dang Fly, We Should Have Turned Around Quite Some Time Ago Loop!!!!!"
I was planning on our normal 7-10 mile run, but Mark had other plans! :)
Started at Morris Meadow's trail head followed the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to the Dry Gulch then the Red Butte Loop then back. I did fine until about mile 10 at which point I felt like I had been hit by a bus. What's up with that? I even had to walk for a bit a few times. Dang.
I am presently starving ... I know candy bars aren't good for me ... but I am eating the ones left over from Halloween. I don't care!!! :)
** A special thanks to Fly for being so patient with me. I could tell that he had the energy to leave me in the dust, but he was kind not to! I appreciated that, as I would have certainly been lost!! :)

Iliopsoas release with the tension ball. It was tight after yesterday's run with Fly. But feels great now! :)
** On a side note, Costco is selling Dave's Gourmet Butternut Squash pasta sauce. Delish! :) |

12.5 miles AP 7:59
Too big of a baby to run City Creek in the wind with the group today. Slept in and hit the gym. This is my highest running mileage week ever (61 miles). I was pleasantly surprised with how good I felt. Started out easy and increased the pace with each mile. Hit the last 1.5 miles hard to bring the overall pace under 8. Not sure why I did that, but that's what I did. :) |

15 beautiful winter white miles :)
Matt and Brooke talked me into running on the JRP this morning in the bittercold!!! I am so so so happy they did. After a trip to home-depot and some how-to info I found on youtube last night I successfully transformed an old pair of running shoes into ice/snow running shoes. They worked PERFECTLY!!! It was absolutely stunning outside, so peaceful.
Only saw 2 other runs the whole time. Yes, it was cold, but beyond beautiful!! Well worth it!
LOVED EVERY SECOND!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL!!! :) :) :) |

a.m.
speed workout:
2 really slow warmup miles in the cardio cinema watching Date Night
(moved to the open gym to add some pressure)
4 miles of FFs
2 miles cooldown (kind of): 3/4 of a mile at 8:34 followed by 1/4 of a mile at my max speed, twice
p.m.
Rec center with the family.
2 miles with Ry on the indoor track (8:30, 7:40)
upperbody weights (tried to show off for my boy -- I am going to pay for it tomorrow)
A handful of games of speed with the fam. I looked pathetic - after the upperbody workout my arms could not shoot the ball at all!!!!
** On a side note: Undecided on registering for the Slam. Not quite sure it will be as doable in 2011 as it was in 2010 (if all goes well with school). Dang ... looks like I have until midnight to decide. :)
** Another side note: I am conveniently allowing myself to believe that these Sweeet Potato krinkle cut chips from Costco are a good snack. It is okay to eat the whole bag in a few sittings because they are made with natural ingredients: sweet potatoes, expeller pressed oil ("expeller" being the operative word) and sea salt. Furthermore, you get a FULL SERVING of vegetables in every ounce. So technically, if I eat the whole bag I am really just eating 16.5 servings of veggies!!! Right? :) :) :)
