Personal:

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.

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.

PM: Great run. Finished faster on the return, not because I planned to but just because it felt good to run faster.
