2008- I ran a 10K and a couple of 5K's I guess you could say I'm a newborn runner.

2011 ran the Salt Lake 1/2 with my brother. Then a few 5k's

Short-Term Running Goals: Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent. Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me. Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

| | Three with the hubby. It was so cold and hard but at the end I got a high and sped way up all the way on Richard to home. Felt freaking awesome. So I decided that I need to make a resolution to slow down in my life. I'm always in a hurry, annoyingly so. And then I thought, the only time I'm slow is when I run..ironic. So then I decided I should try to run faster and walk slower. I don't know if my type A personality will allow this nonsense, but I'll try it for a day or two. Resolutions are annoying to me bc its a set up for disappointment. If I say I'll try it for a day or two, maybe I can stick to it. Anyway, Happy New Year, Here's to an awesome 2013!! GET HIGH! |

| | YOGA As I was trying to wake up this morning to get the kids back to school, I decided that I needed some yoga time. Just me, my quiet house and some muscle strengthening. So I put the yoga mat on my nice new clean basement carpet, where I was so excited to move around with lots of room. I've always had to do yoga squished in my bedroom. Anyway, I get half way through the video and the school calls me. Oliver is sick. FOR THE LOVE!! So I asked the secretary, who happens to be my neighbor, if he was faking it or if it was real. Bc I was not going to pick up a faker and bring him home on my FIRST alone day in TWO WEEKS! But she assured me he was pale and had his head leaning over a garbage can as we spoke. So Pause Yoga..picked up Oliver, put him on the couch and finished Yoga. He didn't say a word. I think he could feel the vibe. So it ended peaceful. Anyway, Namaste. Guess it was good I wasn't out running and didn't have my phone. Meant to be. Get High. | Comments(2) |
| | Thirty minutes on the treadmill. I haven't been on the dreadmill for over a year, but a sick child and freezing temps led me there. What I learned..I want to be an anchor on the Today show bc they are actually on the air for 2% of the hour and the other 98% is commercials. Must be tough having a job like that. Get High |

| | Sometimes I wonder what I would be like If I didn't have running. Its the only thing that makes sense sometimes and its the only thing that makes me feel better sometimes and I continue to just be so grateful for the day I made it apart of my life. Get High. |

| | Three dreadmill. Was actually thinking of venturing outside when my daughter called me to come get her from school. She's not feeling that well. I guess I can't complain bc I did get 3 whole days by myself. Didn't run though. Been a little bit busy and feeling unusually tired. Hoping I'm not getting it. Felt good to run, I turned up the treadmill and sprinted for a minute and then slowed down. Did that a bunch of times. Then my heat kicked on and was blowing right on my head, that was pretty awesome. {or not} but I didn't want to get off and fix it so I just dealt with it. Anyway, Get High |

| | I did it! I went outside! The sunshine inspired me. Even though its freezing cold and the air is crap, there was sunshine. The sun is trying really hard to conquer and I appreciated that. Martin Luther King Jr. Day my Niece Ady's Birthday {10 days apart from my son, so she holds a special place with me. Erin and I went through those pregnancies together.} And the 12 year anniversary of my father in laws death. Good to go outside. Looking forward to it warming up and getting back into a routine & feeling strong and healthy again. Been in a fog for a few months. GET HIGH! |

| | Three on the treadmill. My phone said it was supposed to get up to 30 today so I was trying to wait for the temps to go up. But when it came to be 10:00 and the temp went from 10 to 9, I gave up. Weights and plank. Get High |
