Ive had a cough that feels like its deep in my lungs and ive found it hard to take deep breaths so I thought a run might help. It did feel good for awhile and I jogged slowly on the flat. I tried to run the hill but I was having a hard time finding the breath so I had to walk. I dont know if I made it worse or better, I feel like an elephant is sitting on my chest. I know I made my mental state better though so thats good. Hopefully it helps clear it out and I can have a better run tomorrow. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years! Im personally happy to have the kids back in school for awhile, Dont look forward to homework time again but I am happy to have my afternoons back.

My lungs feel much better today. I was even able to push it up 2 hills {except when I had to walk a few ice patches} so it felt good. I needed to take gloves though, my hands were freezing. I was a little concerned about my lungs turning into pnemonia, Ive had it before and I know what it feels like, but it looks like its taken a turn for the better so thats great news. April 1/2 marathon.... $70.00... ouch, why?? what does it go to?? Are the shirts made of gold?? Does it go to a good cause? I have no problem with it if it does.

I dont know whats wrong with me. I dont feel sick anymore but when I run, im so winded. I had to stop for a sideache once and another time just to catch my breath. I feel like im breathing all wrong. Did I forget how?

I read in the runners world magazine today "You rarely regret the runs you do: you almost always regret the runs you skip."  So on that note, Im still happy I got out there today.

Jillian Michaels on demand workout with Erin and 30 min yoga. Jillian kicks my butt.

Wore a fleece shirt and a shell with gloves and a headband, shed the shell at mile 1, shed the gloves at mile 2 then put the gloves back on at mile 3.5. Couldnt decide if I was cold or hot. Felt really good today,  It was nice to not be pressed for time and be able to just go with no worries. I do have alot to do today but I let myself forget about it for an hour and its been awhile since ive done that. Love saturday runs.

Jillian Michaels on demand again. I have to run to Provo during running time today and dont know If I will be back in time to run. Still hoping. btw, Jillian kicks my butt.

Does anyone else feel the gunk entering their lungs? I keep having the urge to cough but nothing comes up. Not a pretty picture.

30 minute elliptical

Wow. what a horrible week for me. Im not going to bore you with the circumstances. or the excuses. All I can say is next week should be better.

the elliptical wasnt cutting it so I took a quick 2 mile run with a steep hill. Maybe that will help, now im off to run errands before the kids get home in an hour1/2! uggh, fridays are brutal sometimes.

good run. My right arch was hurting today. What is that? And what do I do about it? Is it my shoes? They dont have that many miles on them, could they need to be replaced already? And I wonder why its only on my right foot. It started around mile 3, and I noticed it hurt more on a down slope. I really, really hope this isnt an issue.

quick 3 miler. felt good. going to a bday party now.

Ran around the hood and then down highland Dr and down 9400 S. It was beautiful to look out over the valley and see Kennecot with a fresh coat of snow and blue clear skies. Then on 1300 E to 8600 S and back home. Right arch still bugging me. Have to wait until pay day next week to buy new shoes.

Taking the kids to free ski at Alta this afternoon. Should be fun.

Takin

I was up until 4:00 a.m. with a throwing up child. Ive never had a kid just keep throwing up and throwing up and throwing up like that before! ugghh. And selfish me just kept thinking.."how is this going to affect my run!" Well, I think its going to call it off. Now that Im up and trying to clean up, disinfect and function. Maybe some BryanKest yoga will call to me this evening. Or maybe just bed will.

around the hood bc I woke up with a headache and not feeling too great so I am a bit worried I may be getting what my daughter had. Felt pretty good on the run but running into that wind isnt too much fun. Its blowing hard but only when I was heading South. Blowing hard enough to actually slow you down. Anyway, heres to another run! Its always good to appreciate another one.

70 minute yoga and 45 minute elliptical. Sweat my ars off. too bad not literally.

4 miles. I ran.

runnin off some steam.

Cant seem to break away from the number 4. beautiful day, I dressed way too warm.

good run today. I love love a run that I dont worry about my splits and I just hang out with my thoughts and take my time and enjoy the feeling of distance rather than speed. Its too bad I cant let myself just feel this way during a 1/2, I would enjoy them much more. I end up being disappointed in my times anyway, so I should just never think about it and just cruise. Funny how everything is so mental. My foot was bugging me a little bit but Im choosing to ignore it for now. Dont lecture, you would do the same.
