| 4 fantastic miles, AP 8:31, in Balboa Park this evening with Ry. Tank and shorts weather. YAHOO!!! :) Awesome dinner at Jimmy Carter's Mexican restaurant. We are staying in the cutest place, The Inn at the Park. For whatever reason I can totally see Rylee living in a place like this in a handful of years. A cute king size studio right across the street from Balboa Park. LOVE IT! :) |

| 7 totally fun miles, AP 8:48, with Ry this morning on the Maple Canyon trail and then at the Harbor. A few stops to see some fun things. Man, I really love this place. Maybe we should move here. Why not? The day started with a run but definitely didn't end there. We spent the day on our feet touring the USS Midway and then the Cabrillo National Monument including the Old Point Loma Lighthouse and Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery. Beyond amazing. :) |

| Another incredible day. 4 easy miles on the trails in Balboa Park. Seriously, why don't we live here? :) After the run we --- 1. Saw the Corral Reef movie in the IMAX theatre in the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center then 2. Kayaked the La Jolla caves -- TONS of sea lions that swam right next to our kayaks ... WOW!!! then 3. Saw the night showing of The Rolling Stones in the IMAX theatre in Balboa Park and then 4. Ate more crazy yummy Mexican food at the Ortega Bistro! I'm wiped out but loving it!! :) (Couldn't help but think about how much the kids would have loved seeing all of the sea lions!! Can't wait to come back with them next time.) |

I think with my crazy internship schedule (where I have to leave my house by 6) that M,T,F and Sat will have to be shorter runs with W,Th and Sun longer type runs.

She wanted to come but she has had this cold for over a week now. Poor thing. :) Seriously considering moving to St. George. We will probably head down in a few weeks to look at houses and watch the high school basketball teams down there compete in State. |

Each set was done at a progressively faster pace: 6:59, 6:54, 6:49, 6:45. Also threw in a couple of 400s (1:30 each) during the last couple of miles to work on running fast on tired legs. Definitely exhausted when I was finished. |

| 13.25 wonderful miles on the trails in the immediate vicinity of a handful of houses we are looking at. My legs feel like mush ... some serious incline/decline. Ry ran 9 miles with me and Smo ran 4.25. It is so much fun watching Sophia float on those trails. I couldn't stay up with her (granted I had already run 9 but I'm not sure that I could have on fresh legs). She was kind enough to wait for me every now and then. :) Our family is loving St. George. We have been driving to Cedar City every day to watch the 3A girls basketball state tournament (mostly to watch the Desert Hills girls). We think Rylee would fit in quite nicely. We already talked to the coach and various players. I think this is going to happen. |

| 5 miles: 1 warm-up, 3 @ 6:53, 1 cool-down Early morning meeting today so decided I would try to run a fast three miles with a nice mile warm-up and cool-down. Haven't run a crazy hard three miles in a row for quite some time. I was nervous but it went better than expected. The only real mistake I made was stopping immediately after the hard three (instead of jogging right into my cool down). For the first time in years I was in puke zone and I almost hurled a lung! As I am now in my forties this "puke zone" pace has become not nearly as enjoyable as it was in my thirties. :) I know that many run faster than I do but for me this was a great pace. I was happy. :) |

| So I was supposed to have today off but the opportunity came up to watch (and even help) an MD with some x-ray guided cortisone shots into various parts of the body (SI, low back, rib insertion, neck, etc.). Very cool!! I'm amazed how specific those things can be when using x-ray. To make the day even better I ran the fastest mile I have ever run in my life (that I know of). It was on the treadmill so maybe it wasn't accurate at all. But who cares ... it was awesome!!! I'm going to hit the track with Sophia next week and see if I can repeat it legit! :) A.M.: 5.5 miles at 8:30, then my fastest mile ever (at least the treadmill said it was), then one slow mile. P.M.: 2.5 miles easy. Happy March Madness, All! Let the shining moments begin! :) |

| 20 miles, AP 7:59 -14.5 @ 7:54, on the JRP by my lonesome, well kind of my lonesome, the trail was packed -- and I ran into Kathie and Kimmy :) - 5.5 @ 8:17 , on 7800 South with Smo. I was so tired at the end and she showed me no mercy by kicking it up a giant notch the last mile and leaving me in the dust. My legs were just too mushy to respond. Dang. *** Then I was adding up my miles for the week and realized that I only needed one more to hit an even 60! I hopped on the treadmill and slowly plugged along. 1 mile, 9:30 Got to figure out my intake before Boston. I feel the energy being zapped from my legs around mile 17. Not good! But on a positive note I have zero niggles! That is usually not the case with me this close to a marathon. Usually am trying to ward off something. So perhaps the two things will offset each other. :) |

| 22 miles, which I am listing under easy miles because I'm not sure where to put them. The pace was slower but they did not feel easy by a long stretch!! :) First 12 miles were FANTASTIC! Comfortable pace, with GREAT company: Ry, Fly, JohnnyV and Dave, on the beautiful BST. Nice hilly run with great conversation! With that said, whomever thought that course would be a good idea to start my 22 miler on was NUTZ! ;-) When those miles were complete Ry and JohnnyV immediately drove me to the entrance of the JRP (so about a 7-8 minute break) while I re-fueled. I then ran home, which unfortunately was directly south, which happened to be the exact direction the wind was coming from at 12-20 mph. Needless to say the wind and I are now sworn enemies. Thankfully, I was able to manage an 8:19 pace for those last 10 miles, which I feel really good about under those conditions. However, I honestly felt so beat up afterwards. Sigh ... I hope it will pay off at Boston. I'm a little worried that the 7-8 minute break and another 4 minute break on the trail (I ran into Andy D and we chatted a bit) may make this 22 miler not as effective as it would have been without those breaks. Anyways ... that's all. :) Oh ... and our house is under contract! I hope we find one in SG really soon!!! :) |

| 19 miles, AP 8:45, with JohnnyV and Dave on the JRP up in Dave's neck of the woods. Interesting, my first niggle this running season. Is it taper madness? It's nothing too bad, just some bizarre fleeting pain in the back of my knee. Feels like a tad bit of inflammation. I wore my Pure Cadence shoes more this week, but my pace has been relatively conservative (other than Wednesday). I did do something stupid on the long run though: I only carried 6 ounces of fluids and a half consumed Gu (that I unbeknownst had in my little water container pocket thankfully). STUPID! For some silly reason I thought there would be something on the trail. Oh well. Haven't felt the need to take any ibuprofen yet. Hoping it's 100% by Monday morning. :) |

| 5.5 miles which included two sub 7 miles and two 400s sprinkled within. Knee felt great. I took the time Sunday afternoon to figure out what was going on. A simple tight semimembranosus. Once I did some soft tissue and foam rolled it things were MUCH better. :) |

| Definitely not what I expected! It was just not my day physically BUT emotionally it has been a fantastic few days. SO happy I ran. The atmosphere and feeling here was AMAZING. It was a little different because Ry and I decided to hang out with mostly ourselves instead of hanging out with friends (we just haven't seen each other enough these past 16 weeks and needed the time). I did LOVE having dinner with Andy and Becky and hanging out with Becky at the start line though. One of my slowest races yet. Didn't know exactly what to expect but I really believed that I was capable of roughly a 3:25-27. Crazy how off I was. :) In hindsight I made some major mistakes. BUT ... I did the best that I could do considering my past 16 weeks. So I am totally okay with the time. For my own future notes I am going to outline some of my training errors: 1. Vast majority of miles were on the treadmill. 2. I did very little cross training and/or strength training (I had every intention ... just not the time). 3. These past 16 weeks of internships I have really failed miserably on the nutrition aspect: eating out of convenience and not making smart choices (I am approximately 6 pounds heavier than I usually am when I race ... I'd be okay with that if it were muscle ... but sadly, it's not). 4. Lack of sleep. 5. Lack of proper hydration, etc.: My left anterior tib and triceps surae were battling it out. Caught me off guard. 5. Wore almost new shoes that I was second guessing anyway ... but they matched the best with my brand new running outfit (which turned out to be a mistake as well ... oops). 6. Started out WAY too fast. But considering that it felt relatively easy and wasn't out of line considering what I believed I could do I just went with it. The one thing I thought I had going for me was that I was absolutely niggle free. Turns out that wasn't even close to enough. :) Also, I didn't dare get in a taxi out of fear of cramping up too badly so Ry and I walked the 2.5+ miles back to the hotel. That actually helped a TON! :) Congrats to all of you who had a FANTASTIC race! The ones I know of are: Becky (Andy's girl), AmberG and Rad. I'm sure there are many others! :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE Boston! :) | |

| Nothing since Boston. Not even cross training. I have been quite sick. I had very little soreness after the race (which was great) but have had zero energy and difficulty breathing. What started out with what I assumed to be allergies has turned into something quite ugly. Kept going back and forth on whether or not to try and force myself to exercise. Finally decided that I cannot risk getting more sick than I already am and that I need to use my energy wisely in order to get through these next couple of weeks. Still super happy that I ran Boston, just frustrated with my lungs/asthma/susceptibility to getting sick. I pride myself on being healthy so when something like this happens I have to remind myself that it's okay and that I can only control what I can control. Cheer up, Buttercup!! :-) | |

| Smo and Sherm joined QuickFeet today! It was bittersweet! I knew they would love it but I also knew that many of my early morning runs with Smo would be coming to an end. Their practice starts at 6:30 a.m. at Snow Canyon High School so when work schedule permits I will have the luxury of running in the natural playground that surrounds the high school. 10 miles, AP 8:08 Began on the Snow Canyon trails -> pioneer highway -> Rachel street -> Puerto Street -> Center street and back. BEAUTIFUL. 5 miles up, 5 miles down. | |

| Zero running for me today but what a FANTASTIC day for Smo and Sherm!! It was the USATF State Championship. We were unsure on how everything would go down with the move and all. Smo and Sherm joined their dream team, "QuickFeet", here in St. George 5 days prior to the meet. Here's how it went: Sherm: Raced both the 100 and 200 meters. Had no real training this year up until Monday. Struggled with the blocks (slipping on BOTH races). Started out behind, ended up taking third! Nicely done!!! 100 meters: 14.19 seconds 200 meters: 30.09 seconds Sophia: WOW!!! Huge PRs for her today! She looked SO strong!!! It was BEAUTIFUL!!! 800 meters: 2:45.69 (personal best by 6 seconds) and 1st place!!! The new STATE CHAMP!!! 1500 meters: 5.31.20 (personal best by 12 seconds)!!!! The race was INSANE!!!! She ended up taking second place, missing out on first by 1/100th of 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (First place ran a 5:31.19!) It was NUTZ!!! The four officials at the finish line were arguing on who won. THREE of them said Sophia BUT the main guy over the USATF youth in Utah, Tony Glover, said it was the other girl (and he has the last say). It was an AWESOME race!!!! Yeah, Sophia would have loved to have been the state champ but you can't sulk about a 12 second PR when you are running that fast!! I LOVED how her new coach talks to her!!! He was so excited for her and told her that you never worry about the placings at this point! Your focus is on your improvements, your times, your work ethic and your attitude! If you do that, the placings will come! Regional Championship is in two weeks in Meridian, Idaho!! :-) | |

I think I found an entrance to some more trails. :-) Oh and Smooth's post today reminded me of something: I probably need to find myself a good marathon training plan for SGM. My last couple of races that I have run without truly following some sort of plan have definitely had their shortcomings. Can't decide how many miles I am willing to train a week right now. I suppose I am just truly enjoying not having to cram so much into such little time. Almost like I am on vacation sprinkled with fun work that I get paid for. It's just plain not normal!!!! :-) |

We've got that pretty worked out though and he should be running again in no time. :-) Probably should find myself some more running partners to make these longer runs not seem so long (only issue is that my work schedule can be a little wacko).

Anyway, during the evaluation I couldn't help but notice a fairly large but not huge tattoo on her forearm. I said to her, "You must like (and then I named the object in the tattoo)." She asserted that she did. I asked her how old she was when she got the tattoo. She told me 70!!!!!!! She said that she talked her daughter and daughter-in-law in getting ones as well!!!! She was so stinkin' cute!! I just love her. :-) |

| 7 miles, AP 8:01, Maverick Loop plus a little. :-) I know that not many people look at this blog, but for those few of you who do this message is for you :-) As you know, two of my kiddos (Sophia and Oliver aka Smo and Sherm) have been running for several years now. Once we moved to St George they became part of a running club, Quick Feet. They have admired this club for several years when they would race against their runners at the USATF State and Regional Championships for youth. Something about these kids drew my kids to them! Not only were they often the very best runners but their sportsmanship was amazing. In fact, Sherm became best friends with two of the sprinters who were on the Quick Feet team long before we moved here. Some people thought this was surprising because the two boys whom he became best friends with were also his biggest competition. Those three together would almost always place fist, second and third in their events, and usually it was a camera photo finish with it being extremely difficult to tell which one of them had actually crossed the line first. The fun part was watching them after the race was over. They would be jump around, handing out high fives and congratulating each other as they would make friendly wagers on who the actual winner was before it was announced. Anyway, it was this kind of sportsmanship, talent, and camaraderie that made us seek them out. To make a long story short (even though it seems like I am giving you the long version) these kids come from all across St. George and surrounding areas with all kinds of backgrounds. The coach never turns anyone runner away, regardless if they can pay club fees or not. The only condition is that they must be willing to put in their full effort. This includes training 4 days a week beginning at 6:30 a.m. (since it is often well above 100 degrees in the afternoon). Furthermore, the club helps each of the runners who do not have the funds to travel to compete. Unfortunately, the club has not been able to raise enough funds to get all of the runners who qualified for the National Junior Olympics there (it is in Houston, Texas). And although I am grateful that we have the means to get our children there (as well as help some others) we still fall far short and it breaks my heart to see some of these young runners not be able to compete at this level simply because the funds are not available. So, here is your chance. If you can donate even $5.00 it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! :-) http://www.gofundme.com/quickfeet |

| 10 miles. AP 8:37. I logged these as all easy miles but they didn't feel easy one iota! I'm in Las Vegas with the fam. The plan was to wake up early and head out before the sun came up. Unfortunately Ry had a snore-fest last night and so I went and slept on the pullout bed with the twins. It was not comfy but they were kind enough to let me bombard their space. Sadly we all tossed and turned and consequently did not hear the alarm. It was 9 a.m. by the time I got out. It was 97 degrees when I started and 105 when I finished. I stopped at a couple of gas stations which were nice enough to let me fill my tiny orange juice plastic container that I had brought along with me with ice. Wow, that was not a fun run.
12 weeks to SGM. Time to get a plan drawn up. The plan is to get that done tonight. :-)

| A.M. 7 miles, AP 8:14. This morning's run was one of the most vivid runs I have ever had. It was 84゜when I started at 5:20 this morning. The sky was black and filled with dark clouds. There was no rain in my neighborhood but lightning was striking both on the east and west side. The dark sky would be lit about with each jolt. Crack, boom! It felt a little eery, almost as if I was being chased. I decided since I was not being rained upon that I was safe. Not sure if that was a correct assumption but I went with it. At about 2 miles large drop of rains started falling. I turned around and headed back home but before I was there the rain had stopped so I headed a different direction. The lightning bolts were becoming less frequent but the wind began to pick up making the uphills seem much longer than usual. The sun began to peep through the clouds and the sky began changing colors, deep blue, purple, pink over the red rock. It was majestic beyond measure. A feeling of complete oneness with nature came over me. Not exactly sure why it affected me this me but everything seemed so alive. I loved this morning's run. P.M.

It was great to finally meet up with Rachel for a run and can't wait to do it more often. :-) P.M. ST: Core So, this may be kind of crazy but eating radishes makes me feel very happy inside! I think it stems from my childhood when one year we planted a garden but all that came up was one broccoli plant and about 1000 radishes. The radishes seemed to be the size of a small apples (at least that is how they seemed to me at 6 years of age). We were all so proud of those radishes! :-) Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. :-) |

Oliver (the one in the picture) has set some pretty high goals for himself (you have to read his quote)!! Hee Hee!!! So proud of my kiddos! Man I love each and every one of them! Nationals, here we come: http://www.thespectrum.com/story/sports/2014/07/18/quick-feet-track-field-junior-olympics-houston/12867061/ |

Sophia and I ran roughly 1.5 miles before we met up with Rachel, then we all ran together for another 2 miles, then Rachel and I dropped off Smo and ran a few more together, and then I ran back home. The time just flew by! Loved it. :-) ST: hips/glutes |

BEYOND excited for my kiddos to have this experience. And a HUGE thank you to those of you who donated so that some of Quick Feet's young runners who couldn't afford to go now have that opportunity! I'll keep you in the loop on how they do. You know who you are. :-)

| 7.25 miles, AP 8:35 5.25 miles with Rachel and 2 by my lonesome. It is so nice having someone to run with in the mornings! I don't have a patient until 9 this morning and so my goal is to catch up my blog here! Like everything else right now, it has fallen quite behind! :-) Houston was a FANTASTIC experience for the kiddos! It was so so so stinkin' HOT and HUMID though! I have no idea how people train and race in those conditions. We spent roughly six hours a day at the track to watch our kids as well as the rest of the Quick Feet runners. Most of the hours were in the sun (roughly 95-100 degrees) and humidity in the 70s and 80s! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!! Sherm and Smo did AMAZING! It was quite the experience for Sherm to race all these crazy fast runners. In Utah he has become accustomed to being among the very fastest! At Nationals, not so much! In fact, even though he PR's on his 200 he was definitely towards the slow end of the runners there!! ********* Sherm's results (11 y.o.) 200 meters, 27.92 seconds 100 meters, 13.84 seconds Neither of these times were fast enough to get him past the preliminaries. I'm telling you though, some of these 11 and 12 year old boys look like they are 16!!! I'm not exaggerating even in the slightest. It is CRAZY!!!! The cool thing was that instead of moping or feeling discouraged by his results Sherm was instead motivated to get even better and faster!! I LOVE IT!!! (He is even considering trying to figure out a way to grow a mustache because he said some of those boys his age had them!!!!!!) ********* Sophia's results (12 y.o.) 800 meters, 2:41.6 Not her best, but crazy good considering she threw up 7 times within the hour of her race, including once while walking to the starting line. In fact, the officials asked her if she was okay and needed to sit out. She gave them the stink eye and said, "No, I'm fine!" She is one tough cookie!!! 1500 meters, 5:26.73 A new personal record and 36th in the Nation :-) She definitely got a taste of what it is like to compete with the best of the best and it has lit a fire inside of her that I believe will never go out! She has already made a two year plan to become an All American (meaning you have to place in the top 8). :-) Her splits for the 1500 meters were: 300 m 1:00.66 700 m 1:29.5 1100 m 1:31.55 1500 m 1:25.02 Anyway, that's the update!!!! Gotta get to work!!! Hope everyone is having a GREAT week!!! :-) |

| 20.1 miles (18.1 miles, AP 8:18, then 2 cool down miles with the twins) Miles 1-7 by my lonesome. Started out early and it was dark, windy, rainy but BEAUTIFUL (except for the wind)! Sadly, I got so caught up in my thoughts that I missed my turn. I was intending to run a 6 miles loop and pick up Ry to join me for some miles. I was totally lost. Couldn't even see Webb Hill (which is my usual marker if I ever get turned around). Luckily I was able to flag down a cyclist who let me borrow his phone to call Ry so he wouldn't freak out! I was able to give Ry my coordinates and he met me 1.5 mile from where I was lost which happened to be Costco. I discovered a new trail that I like though, Milcreek Trail. :-) Miles 8 -13 with Ry just making our way back home (his car is still at Costco, I suppose we'll have to pick it up later). :-) Luckily he had fluids because I had planned on picking some up when I met him at home at 6 miles! Ha! Miles 14 - 20.1 with Smo, which forced me to keep my pace (actually pick it up a bit) for the next four miles even though I wanted to slow way down! Luckily I had the chance to slow down with the twins who joined us for the last two mile hoorah! :-) Temp 81˚ upon completion. Fortunately, it didn't feel that hot. Happy Saturday, All. Be careful out there! :-) |

| 8 miles, AP 7:56 Surprisingly, considering this headache I have been fighting, this was a great run for me. I woke up and felt fine (no headache). I started running having no idea what route or how long long I was going to run. I had a little over an hour that I could spend running but wasn't expecting to last more than 40 minutes. Needless to say, almost immediately I knew that I was going to enjoy running this morning. I can't help but wonder if the reason I felt so good was that I was expecting to feel so badly ... does that make sense? So when I didn't feel badly it felt twice as good because it was such a relief. I felt lighter and stronger than usual. So bizarre. Within two miles I decided to try and make it up Banded Hills Drive, which happens to be the road to the new airport. I've looked at it from a distance for quite some time and have even run up to where it begins once. It stands tall and looks daunting but beautiful. As I began running up it I immediately wished that Fly could have been there to tell me what the beautiful rock was that I was admiring. I assume the reason it is called Banded Hills is because there are these incredible white bands stratified into the rock. How does that happen? It almost looks like ribbon! The sun was coming up and it was AWESOME! In truth, it almost completely numbed the fatigue that was building up in my legs as I ran up up and up (I think the steepest portion is roughly .75 miles with about 400 feet of incline). When I reached the top more beauty awaited. The view was INCREDIBLE! I could see the whole valley, and just when I thought it couldn't get better I heard an airplane began to make it's way down the runway behind me ... faster, faster ... I look over my shoulder and see it take off in a westward direction. The whole moment felt beyond earthly. This makes the second time since I moved to St. George that I have felt this overwhelming feeling of being completely alive during an early morning run. I appreciated it today immensely. Sadly, the headache returned this afternoon. Boo! |

My only real concern is that there is very little diversity. Luckily the kiddos have more diversity on their running and basketball teams. |

| 17 miles, AP 7:25 on the last 17 miles of the SGM course! Holy crap, was not planning on running that fast! Rachel has been inviting me to group long runs for quite some time but I always have opted out because they start so stinkin' early! Today I went. :-) Met at the St. George Rec. center at 4:30 a.m. Cockadoodledoo!!! A bunch of us jumped in a back of a pickup and headed up the route 17 miles. I started running with Rachel and Misty but ended up running most of my miles with Nicole and Casey (Nicole is crazy fast and was running a bit slower today .. she will run a sub 3 at SGM). It was definitely a push for me to keep that pace (even with two water breaks and no Veyo hill). Faster than I plan on running the marathon for sure. And the crazy thing is that after we finished Nicole went out for an additional five miles at a 6:00 minute pace! CRAZY!!!!! Anyway, I think I will start running with this group more. There was probably around 14 of us and they were all FANTASTIC! :-) Happy Saturday, All. Definitely not running tomorrow! :-) |

| 5 easy peasy miles on the boring TM. I think this was only the third time I have been on the TM since we moved here over three months ago. Wanted to run outside but there was serious raining, lightning and thunder. Turns out we had flash floods which results in some serious damage just 1500 meters south of us. Fortunately I don't know of any homes that were damaged though. |

| 5 very easy miles, Happy Friday, All! :-) Did I mention that I accepted a full time position at the Hurricane Valley Clinic? Still with Intermountain. I have been working roughly 30-35 hours a week as PRN for Intermountain (in other words, feeling in for other therapists throughout the hospital and all the clinics in the greater St. George area). I had a couple of opportunities come up and decided to take advantage of the one in Hurricane. Yes, it's about a 25 minute commute but well worth it! The clinic has such a variety of patients with various impairments. Not only do I get to work with ortho patients of all ages (my patients right now range from the ages of 8 to 92) but neuro patients as well. It's a dream job for me! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!! :-) | |

| 20 miles, AP 8:24. Not too much zippy in my skippy this morning. Legs felt a bit heavy and tired. Since Rachel could not run until late this morning I decided that I'd run the majority of this one solo. The time seemed to drag on and on and on. No fun! With that said, I returned home at 15 miles so that Sophia could run the last 5 with me. That dang girl made my last five miles my faster by far! I wanted to throw up as she forced me to run a sub 7:00 mile at the end (and then watch her sprint far ahead the last 800 meters ... RUDE!). Where did this girl come from??? :-) Have a great weekend, All! :-) |

He's super excited, me too! :-) I hate running longish runs on my own. They seem to drag on and on and on. Ran up to Brigham exit and then hopped on the trail system then ran up to Green Valley and back. Happy Thursday, All. :-) |

| Ry and I went out on the Red Rock trails for a nice mountain bike ride! The plan was to ride for about 75 minutes and then to do a short run. As has happened on so many other occasions, Ry and I got lost! Not smart in the heat! After 3 1/2 hours I had to get off the bike and sit down feeling completely dehydrated. My mouth was so dry and I was feeling crazy light headed and weak. Ry and I had both taken one bottle of fluids with us. I had a zero calorie sports drink and Ry had a regular Gatorade. Normally I probably would have been fine but I started out low on fluids secondary to not having much to drink since my longer run on Thursday (crazy busy days at work, and then driving to Vegas, etc.). I will not make that mistake again. We found our way back making the total bike ride roughly 4 hours. |

I'm sure there are plenty of crazies out here, and I absolutely love Rachel, and probably more than anything it's my fault for not really putting myself out there and attending the SG Running Group stuff ... just saying that I miss my crazies. :-) Anyway, I thought a new beautiful course would make the lonesome miles a little less lonesome. My belief was that if I started in Hurricane (at my work) and ran through Sand Hollow and the Washington Fields that I'd not only have beauty but a nice gradual downhill. Not sure where I went wrong because other than a handful of miles it definitely did not feel as easy as I was hoping. When I entered it in Map My Run it said a total net down of roughly 600 feet. Which I suppose doesn't feel as down as I had hoped over 20 miles. :-) Things got really tough for me around mile 13. I stopped and called Ry. He saved me by bringing my Smo to run the final 4 miles with me. Miles 13-16 all I could think was: "25 minutes and Smo will make everything better ..." "19 more minutes until Smo..." "15 more minutes and Smo will change everything..." 9 more minutes..." "Start looking for Smo..." "Smo will fix all of this." When I saw Smo I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. I was so GRATEFUL!! Anyway, another 20 in the books. :-) Hope everyone is off to a GREAT weekend!!! |

| MORNING: So I kept getting text messages on my phone about a flash flood heading our way. I looked out my window at 5:30 this morning and there was no rain in sight. I thought about just chancing it but then decided that I'd better take the warnings serious and run on the treadmill at home. Finished the boring run and still no raindrops in sight. Stink it all!!!! :-) 7 easy miles, AP 8:56 Hopefully more miles this evening. Hopefully. (So far today is going well, I rarely get a lunch break ... but looky looky ... here I am!!!) :-) EVENING: So the rainstorm finally hit, right as I was leaving work. Made for an adventurous drive home and meant another treadmill gig. 4 miles, very easy, high 9s. |

| 8 miles, AP 7:43, Maverick Loop with a twist. My legs still aren't feeling quite right. They have been feeling heavy and stiff for about a week. Left hip external rotators and flexors are tight but nothing crazy. Haven't needed any meds, taping, etc. Just trying to be mindful of what's going on, stay hydrated and sleep and eat a bit better. :-) Things seem to be improving somewhat each day but going to be cautious tomorrow and Friday and then decide on how to attack my long run this weekend. :-) Registered for the Boston Marathon today. I suppose that commits me to at least one more marathon. I definitely need to find more running buddies for my next training season! Not sure if I can do another season of long runs mostly by my lonesome. Hopefully by then I will know more of the running community in my new stomping grounds. :-) Happy mid-week, All. :-) |

| MY very best 20 miler EVER!!! 20 miles, AP 7 freakin 19!!!!! Can hardly believe it! (Granted it was on the course and included three 1-2 minutes hydration breaks). But still, 7:19, I'm ECSTATIC!!! Decided I could NOT do another long run on my own so woke up early and met Rachel, her hubby, and some of their friends at the St George Rec Center at 4:30 a.m. and drove 20 miles up the course. We were kind of spread out into a few groups and I had told myself that I was going to try and stay with one of the faster packs until the first water break (which included Veyo so I knew it would be hard for me). Did it ... and felt great! I then decided I would stay with them until the 10 mile mark. Wow, still with them. I told them that I was certain to start to fade but Bruce insisted that my breathing was fine and to make it to 15. Got to 15 and was feeling it but decided to continue to push. At that point it was me, Bruce, Tom and Bryan. My new goal was 17 miles. Made it, but we lost Bryan. I was really feeling it but did a quick head to toe check and new that I could hang on for one more mile. I did it! I was so proud of myself. I told Bruce and Tom to push hard the next mile so that they could finish strong. I was feeling weak and had given myself permission to fall back. They tried to talk me into staying with them but I told them that I was SUPER happy with what I had did and wanted to just try and get my breathing where I wanted it. They agreed and took off. I am happy to say that although I dropped back I managed a 7:24 on that final mile [which I was certain was an 8:24 pace (my eyes were deceiving me)]! I finished about 20 seconds behind them. THRILLED! Got home and decided to do two barefoot slow miles on my treadmill to cool down and loosen up. Followed by a contrast bath (6 minutes warm whirpool / 2 minutes ice bath x 3 = total of 24 minutes). I feel great! Happy Saturday! I think I am trained for a sub 3:20 at SGM if I run it right!!!! YES YES YES!!! That is a number I have been chasing for YEARS!!!! BTW, Aaron Metler was starting his 20 miler with one of his running partners at the same time we were. They said they were going to run 5:16!!! So my excitement about my time today is SO SO SO relative!!! Hence, I really really really try to never compare myself with anyone but myself because when I compare myself to those runners who are faster I get jealous and when I compare myself to those runners that are slower I get prideful --- I think I'll pass!! BUT WOW ... 5:16!! That's stinkin' crazy lightning fast!!!! :-) | |

| 15 miles, AP 7:47 Was supposed to meet up with Rachel around 6:30ish (well we were both supposed to leave our house at 6:30ish and meet halfway). I left the house a little before 6 though and so didn't get her text that she wasn't going to get out until past 7:00. In other words, I got to her house and the lights were all out so I figured I was on my own. Smo ran the last 3 miles with me to keep my pace honest at the end. In fact, every mile with her at the end took my average pace down. That crazy girl! White Fence Loop/ Rachel's House Loop/Maverick Loop/Firehouse Loop. I feel great about the pace since it was a hilly course and my legs still haven't fully recovered since last Saturday. I definitely have noticed that it is beginning to take me longer to recover from hard runs. Possibly age? Possibly because I am on my feet all day long? Who knows. :-) So glad to have this run in the books! Oh and ... I LOVE my new watch and have been craving sour cream! Seriously, sour cream with EVERYTHING that or greek yogurt! Added a calcium/Vitamin D supplement because I figure this craving is coming from somewhere! Off to Vegas to watch Rylee and Smo play some ball!!! Ball, y'all!!! Happy Saturday! :-) ******** 15 miles 1:56:37 7:47/mi 1243 c 189 spm |

| 10 miles, AP 7:39 (which is pretty much the exact marathon pace I am shooting for). Granted, while I was running I took one fluid break (60 seconds), stopped for about 30 seconds when I ran into Rachel (because how could I not ... she's awesome) and then about 15 seconds picking up Smo for the last three miles. I had not planned on running marathon pace. Was just shooting for around 8s. Things just fell into place that way. It was a comfortable hard which is very reassuring. It actually would have been a slower overall pace had it not been for Smo. I told her to keep me at about a 7:45ish pace. It was raining outside and I guess the cooler temps put some ants in her pants with each progressive mile since our last three miles were: 7:40, 7:30 then 6:35!!! What a NUTJOB!!!!! Really hoping Smo will pace me the last handful of miles at the marathon. It'll all depend on her basketball schedule. They may have a tournament. I hope hope hope not. I NEED her!! Getting nervous. |

| In the most simple terms: First 17 miles: EPIC (didn't even feel like I was racing until after I crossed the halfway point) Next 3 miles: Intentionally scaling back to try and hold the cramping at bay. Last 6.2: EPIC FAIL In a nutshell: I felt very much the same way one feels when they put a quarter in a candy machine and only get three small M&Ms (but on a much larger scale)! :-) My last three marathons I have suffered some pretty severe cramps, but nothing like the ones I suffered yesterday. The last 6.2 miles I could only run roughly 800 - 1200 meters at a time before one would seize. When I finally crossed the finish line and I got to the grass where I could stop for a second to see my family my entire lower body seized up to the point that I literally and I mean LITERALLY fell to the ground and rolled around like a crazy lady screaming. Ryan, Rylee and Sophia were trying desperately to release the many different cramps that were seizing my legs that felt as if they were going to snap at any moment from the force of the muscle contractions. The pain was insane. Ryan finally got me up and I had to stomp and slap my legs for the duration of the car ride home. Once home I began to cry like a baby - but I'm not sure why. I wasn't crying because of sadness or pain, my body just wouldn't stop crying. Per Lowell's suggestion I immediately engulfed a bacon burger (which I hate) and some fries. The crying and cramping stopped shortly after. That's it! I truly believed that I was prepared (and was going) to run a sub 3:20. First world problem, I'm not going to dwell on it. - Worked 46.5 hours M-F evening and tried to keep hydrated but nutrition and sleep were far from adequate. - Horrible night sweats for the past several months. - One of my best training seasons ever. Splits: 7:20, 7:44, 7:17, 7:24, 7:20, 7:15, 7:18, 8:32, 7:55, 8:05, 8:08, 8:04, 7:28, 7:55, 7:13, 7:27, 7:26, 8:24, 9:09, 8:01, 8:34, 9:09, 8:35, 8:43, 9:13, 9:10, 2:06 With that said, had a GREAT weekend with Smooth, Lowell, Christine and Ben!!!! :-) :-) :-) |
