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.

7 miles, AP 8:03 to Jaynie's and back.

.75 easy followed by .25 hard x 7

I think maybe I need to adopt Slick's philosophy about running at 3:30 a.m. It's getting hot! :-)

6.5 miles, AP 8:34

5 miles with Rachel around the surrounding neighborhoods and 1.5 by my lonesome. It was great to finally meet up with Rachel for a run and can't wait to do it more often. :-)

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. :-)

6 miles, AP 7:33, to Brigham Exit and back (4 seconds/mile from goal pace for this run) then one mile cool down.

This is so bad http://youtu.be/lI2OBReZXJ4 but I can't help but laugh. I'm so inappropriate.

17 miles, AP 8:14, 85°

First 9.25 by my lonesome then Ry joined me for the final 7.75 💚💚💚

Highest mileage week for me since before Boston. I feel tired but I think that has more to do with the heat and work than anything. Can't wait to see how Smooth's marathon went this morning.

Happy weekend, All! Don't forget to eat your fruits and veggies! 🍊🍒🍆

UPDATE!!!

This is awesome, my kiddos are in the Spectrum Newspaper today. 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!
