| | Started at Millers and climbed for what seemed like forever. Stomach was better today (thanks to Zantac), but my back has been killing me. This route had way more steep up and down than I wanted. That's what I get for trail running with Nate, Carrie, and Jim. Their idea of a recovery day is only 3,000 ft of vertical! At least the views of SLC were amazing.

Provo City 5k (3.107 Miles) 00:24:08 | | I'm really disappointed with this one. I fully expected to run around 23:15 so it was disheartening to see 24 in the results. I wish I could provide splits and analyze what went wrong, but I was halfway to Provo when I realized that I had no watch or garmin or any sort of time keeping device. So I ran by feel and I felt like I was working really hard. By halfway, my stomach was revolting and I just wanted to walk. I don't know if I went out too fast or if it just wasn't my day.
But given the week I've had, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. After struggling with stomach issues for over a week and 1/2, I saw a doctor and learned that I have problems with excess stomach acid. Luckily there is a pill for that, so my stomach has steadily been getting better, but it's still not right. I've also had bad back pain since Tuesday. Even with a few days off, it wasn't getting better and I aggravated it on Thursday's run. I was considering skipping this race, but I got a massage on Friday night, popped a few aleve, and decided to give it a try. I don't feel like my back was the reason for my poor performance, though.
I know I'm in better shape than this so I'm writing it off as a bad day. I've had a string of good races (for me), so I guess I was due for a bad one.

| | This was a completely miserable run. I had my husband drop me off at Mountain Dell golf course with the plan to run down Emigration, then Sunnyside, on to Liberty Park, then home. The first 2 miles or so were pleasant. I settled into a slow, but steady pace on the climb. But when I turned onto the canyon road, I was hit in the face with a serious wind. Like Wyoming windy. And the wind was relentless, it basically didn't stop until I hit Liberty. My pace running downhill was so slow because of the wind and it felt so hard. By the time I reached the zoo at mile 12, I was mentally drained. I was so sick of fighting the wind. I had a breakdown, started crying, and did a walk of shame down Sunnyside. Then I basically alternated running with feeling sorry for myself and walking the rest of the way home. I stopped at Cafe Espresso for a huge iced latte to soothe myself and walked the last bit home. So glad this week is over.

| | Still trying to make sense of the back issues. I've been seeig a sports chiropractor and will also see an orthopedic doctor on Wednesday. I am visiblly tilted, my right hip is higher than my left. X-rays are showing "mild spondylosis" and some slight spine curvature. I'm trying to make sense of what all this means and if there is a way to salvage Utah Valley. Right now, I don't see how it's possible.

| | Saw an orthopedic doc today about my back. She doesn't think it is as concerning as the chiropractor. She disagrees that I have spondylosis. However, both do not think I will do further damage if I continue to run. Also saw a PT and have some basic core exercises to do daily.
The pain finally lessened enough that I could get my nornal 5 in, but it was hard and there was still some pain. Still holding out hope for UtahValley, although the goal will change from PR to just finish.

| | Pipeline. So happy to be running (almost) pain free again. I've lost a bit of fitness, but no worries, it will come back.
