Not worth talking about. boo.

Second attempt with Scott on the horse trail, distance was 3.3 but with all the walking I did, Im only counting another 1.5 miles. Total calories burned today, somewhere in the low 700's. So thats something. I need a do-over of this day. It will be called "tuesday."

Ran along 1300 E. to Pioneer Rd. and mom picked me up and drove me home. Felt groggy today also but pushed through it. Ran really slow splits but at least I did it. I kept waiting to get the 2nd wind but it never came. Maybe im getting sick, who knows. Just dont feel normal.

60 minute on demand Jillian Michaels kick arse workout. Core strengthening. I believe Im really lacking in this area and I know I need it to become a better runner. Stronger core, better runner, ..stronger core, better runner..

slow start, saw Erin and stopped and chatted for awhile. Then I felt better when I started up again. Had hunger pangs that were making me feel sick, that usually doesnt happen to me, kind of weird. Another run, another day. 

As the day goes on, I am more and more sore from Jillian's circuit training yesterday. I feel like I can barely walk! good feeling.

gradual uphill first 3 miles, took off on a trail for a bit and then back down on road. Ran some new streets, I wasnt sure where I would end up but it worked out, back up Falcon Hill and around the hood back home. felt good, did some posture adjustment a few times, wouldnt it be nice if someone could video tape you the whole time so you could see yourself and see your mistakes? Anyway, perfect temp. beautiful day.

Can I just complain about my husband for a minute? I run, he bikes. Running is my outlet. Lately he wants running to be his outlet too, Im all for that. I really am. What im not all for is that I go out and run 7 miles today, which for me is pretty good and when I come home, hes not here. Not here bc he's out running strait up the face of Mt. Olympus. WHAT??! He's not only faster, hes stronger and Ive been doing this for going on 3 yrs and he has been doing this for, Oh I dont know, on and off for a couple of months? I mean really running. He has gone in spurts in the past but few months he has been getting serious. Im just venting. I want to be proud of myself without him outdoing me!! I know I sound like a winey baby. waa waa. Okay, its now out of my system and now I will go tell him im proud of him, bc thats what good wives do.

Good first mile, a little fartlek on mile 2 and mile 4, pretty good consistency in my splits. Ive had another epiphany.. Ive decided that im holding back bc of fear. And Im trying to figure out what it is im afraid of. Is it bonking? working too hard? fear of being slow forever? I dont know, but today I tried to let myself go a little more and feel a little bit more free with my run. Im not sure what or why I let myself hold back, but Im happy that I realize that I do it and now I can try to overcome it. Do I sound crazy? well like ive said before, thats bc I am.

went and ran on the draper trail this morning while mom watched the bean. Spent the early morning at the dmv to renew my license. An hour in line just to find out that I need my birthcertificate to prove that Im not an illegal...ummm, Ive been driving in this state since I was 16, look it up you idiots!! curse the dmv.

decent run, running into a headwind and my legs felt like steel posts, but other than that, it was decent.

70 minute Brian Kest yoga, then babysat my niece. Watched MJ's "This is It" with my cousing and mom. Just in case you wanted a play by play of my day.

woke up a bit congested today and low on energy, I actually ran/walked a bit in mile 2 and 3, just trying to warm up. Felt pretty good the rest of the run until about 5.5 and then I was a little light headed. Slow finish home.

Remember the 5k I did for the man in my neighborhood with ALS? He passed away. I will be going to his funeral saturday, so sad for his family.

Felt pretty good, got new shoes, yay. Dragging a bit bc of a little bit of a cold and bc I ate horrible the last 4 days. Popcorn and candy at a movie, valentine sugar cookies, some candy hearts, and a few other things Im not even going to mention bc Im already feeling ashamed! New day, a new week, a new start. Thank goodness we get to start over again every day.

1 mile warm up and then 2 mile sprint/walk in btwn. and 1 mile cool down. Just around the mile loop in my neighborhood. Havent done speed work in way too long. Felt good but I forgot how freakin hard it is.

yesterday I had a dr. apt and my daughters maturation program and I havent felt well again. Its giving me anxiety that I am sick. I dont have time for it. Today I ran around Draper, it was a nice change of scenery. I could feel the sickness at mile 2 but it seemed to leave around 3 and I felt good at the end. Maybe I ran it out of me. It was nice to run into the calm snow, it was beautiful. Btw, Im running on asics duomax I believe. Im not positive. theyre cute though. And thats important too.

skiing up at Brighton all day with the kids. It was a last minute decision. We have free passes up there and so when we woke up to sun, we thought we better take advantage. Im worried about not getting any long runs in this week whatsoever. Which means next week, I need to do two. Its all good guess, I need to take advantage of beautiful days with my kids also.

Meant to do a long one today but I have to take my mom to the doctor. I will try for tomorrow..Ran around the park where it all started. When I first started running, we used to go to this park down the street and run a lap or two until we worked up to 3 miles. I havent been there for so long bc I got so burned out on it, it was nostalgic to go around it again today.

My asics are gel-kayano 16's I told you duomax but that was a blonde manuever.

Have you ever had a run that is so crappy bc of your emotional and mental state that you seriously cant wait to get back home? Then half way through you get a killer headache and you want to cry? That was today. Now Im going to go sit in the bath and lay down and pretend that never happened.

five fabulous miles around Draper.

I didnt really plan on going 8, I was actually going to do that tomorrow, but I was feeling good and so I thought I better take advatage of it. Its the first time ive done 8 without bringing a gu or water with me, then I realized Ive never run 8 at this time of year before. Usually I run my 8's in the summer and I have to have water. Anyway, it felt good although my splits were pretty slow. Anywhere from 9:40 to 10:40, I even had an 11:20 but that was up a long hill. whatever. Running is such a personal thing and I get so worked up in my head about time and comparing myself to others, It drives me crazy. I know running is about 60% mental and I need some mental running therapy.

5 miles. Not as fabulous as the day before, I get these lovely headaches and yesterday I got one when I got back from my 8. They wipe me out and I was feeling the affects of it today. At least I got some miles in, thats all that matters.
