I have loved to run since I was a little girl when I won my first race against a neighbor boy in his backyard. I have run recreationally ever since, but never really setting any goals other than distance or to participate in a race for the fun of it. So this is all new territory for me and I'm feeling very out of my league. At the suggestion of a friend, here I am... trying to get to the next step in my running.
Besides being a runner, I own an IT Staffing company, am a yoga instructor and snowboarder. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful baby girl. |

| AM: I purposefully made myself run this extra slow. I slept horribly and was feeling cranky. All in all I'm happy to have covered the miles without hating every step and I feel like I'm turning a corner in my training, both physically and pschologically. I'm starting to relax a little and not beat myself up mentally so much. 3:27:03 10 mi at Murray park, then north thru the city finishing at Sugarhouse Park. |

| PM: Legs felt a little tentative after last night's speed work, but felt really good after a couple of miles. I ran faster on the return when my legs had loosened up. I'm trying to focus on "relaxing". Demetrio kept telling me that yesterday; that my shoulders are tensing up. This comes as no surprise because my right shoulder has been giving me some grief on my runs. It was overcast again and nice and cool... this makes a huge difference for me on my runs. I'm ready for fall and the cooler weather. Sugarhouse "Out 'n Back" - from my house to the park, 2 laps at the park, then back home. 52:36 |

| AM: 6 mi in City Creek 6 mi home Felt really good today; definitely feeling an improvement in my training. I don't feel like I'm working so hard; the heaviness has gone. I think some of it's due to the cooler weather. I've also been sleeping better. It's funny, but I also think not taking Friday off and just putting in those couple of miles helps too; keeps the legs loose. Things that must go... almost getting hit by a car at an intersection because the driver was looking left while trying to make a right-hand turn without stopping at a red light while I'm crossing and have the right of way. PM: 8 mi bike ride. |

| PM: About 7 miles. 2 mi warm up 8 x 2:00 fartlek workout with 2:00 slow jogging in between 2 mi cool down I was feeling a little tight today, especially in the hip flexors. Things loosened up a bit after 3 miles. Question for any of you GPS users... I wear a Garmin and I'm trying to determine how accurate the "calories burned" data is. I want to better monitor my calorie intake to output ratio. Everything I've ever read says that on average you burn about 100 calories per mile. My garmin data says I'm burning between 175-200/mi. Does anyone have any insight as to how accurate the garmin is? The garmin does take into account your age and weight, could this be the reason for the sizable difference? |

| AM: Provo Canyon - got a late start this morning. It was a beautiful run thru a canopy of trees and fall colors erupting all over the mountains. Despite having run this same distance faster than 2 wks ago, my legs were heavy and tired. It took 7 miles just to get into the groove, then the last 5 were awful with a bad headache coming on. 3:13:16 |

| 2PM: City loop with laps at Liberty. Fantastic weather, great run. It felt so good outside today. Crisp autumn air that smells wet and earthy. This is my kind of weather. It started to lightly rain the last 3 miles... I couldn't have asked for better! 1:48:12 |

| PM: Sugarhouse / Highland Track 4 mi warmup 1 mi speed changes 400 cool down 800 x 5 with 400 recoveries inbetween - the goal was 3:20 or better 1) 3:13 2) 3:17 3) 3:15 4) 3:20 5) 3:22 1200 cool down I was pretty tired after the third repeat. I think mostly because I did a 4 mile warm up instead of my usual 2. |

Legs feel pretty good. The extra day of rest on Friday helped.
