Did Cameron's long run with him today bc I won't be here this weekend. Started at my mom and dads house and ran around Draper. It was fun, he did a good job. I did most of the talking again. He was  happy it was over with and I was proud of him. happy running. Beautiful day.

I actually planned on going further but it didn't happen today. I have chaffing so bad where my sports bra sits and I forgot to put body glide on before I left. Of course it didn't bother me until I really started sweating then it was hurting. I tucked my shirt under it to help the situation and I'm sure that was sexy looking. Got home and its actually bleeding. But that isn't the only reason I cut this run short. Today I let the mental games get the best of me. waa waa waa. whatever. Happy running.

Woke up early in St. George after kind of a sleepless night and went running. It was beautiful. Beautiful scenery & weather. Red cliffs and blue skies. Everyone was quiet when I left. I thought I heard Stacie stirring around in her room but I didn't want to bother her so I went on my own. We both regretted not planning that better. She probably ended up leaving 20 minutes after me for her run. I actually went around a loop hoping I would see her but with no luck. Anyway It was so nice to run in new scenery. I ran up and down hills and along a ridge that overlooks the valley, BEAUTIFUL!  It was great. 9:40 avg.

Felt pretty good. My avg would have been about 9:40 but I ran into Cam running up by the water towers when I was running down by them, so I turned around and ran with him for 1.5 miles. Then sped back up. Nice temps.

Felt pretty good, Ive been meaning to run a 10 for a long time now, finally did it. I was slow in areas with big hills. Had one mile @ 9:06 and the rest were slower. Avg 10:33 {I think} I turned off the garmin already but I think that's what it said. Anyway, Happy Running.

Did Cam's long one today bc on Sat. I have to go sell girl scout cookies at the grocery store. Awesome.

He did better today, he seemed stronger and more postitive. I took him on Dimple dell which I love to run on and I think he liked it too. It was gorgeous weather, nice terrain and a good day to run. happy running.

OH! I almost forgot!!  At .03 {just barely started} I swallowed a bug! It flew into my mouth and it made gag so much I acutally puked. Cameron thought something was wrong at first and when he found out it was a bug, he laughed and laughed at me while I puked. Disgusting.

I did it, despite the fact that every part of me was rebelling against it. Going to deliver cookies and then take the dog and kids to the horse park to hike around and play a bit. Yes. They are out of school once again. Parent teacher conf. is the reason this time I guess. Next Friday and the Friday after that?? I don't know the reasons. Maybe its bc they're getting TOO smart? And that musn't happen.You know what really gets me though more than the many days off? Is the fact that they have to have a short day every day before a day off. So essentially they get three good days at school a week and then a dumb short day and then another break. I would rather them go all these days and get out for summer a couple of weeks early. But I don't make the rules. I just complain about them.  BUT this is a running blog. We talk about running. Sorry, I get carried away. HAPPY RUNNING in the beautiful sunny weather!!

Today I woke up wishing I was a fast walker not a runner. I felt out of sorts. I think it the combo. of daylight savings and allergies. But I pushed through some miles and of course in the end, I am happy that I am a runner again.

My allergies are bad right now. It was hard to breathe, I could hear myself wheezing. I wanted to run down past the buffalo which is funny bc it took me 4.4 miles to get to it. Then I ran by it and that was that! ha. Ran a few hills but they were extra hard so I walked a bit also due to my breathing issues. Tomorrow I will take an allergy pill before I go out and see if that helps. Anyway, happy running.

First mile 9:40, 2nd 9:28, 3rd 8:09..I stopped the clock at the light so I don't know if I had not had that break if I could have pulled off 8:09. But it looks cool on the garmin anyway! Windy wind. 

I have some errands to run so I'm going to do weights and plank and call it good! happy running!

Cam's long one today. It was fun, he did good. It was a bit hard on him today but he pushed through and did it so that's awesome.

Gnarly head wind. Saturday morning chaos. Happy running.

I didn't want to run today. But I'm really glad I did. 9:15 avg. Warm before the storm, not too windy. Happy.

weights and plank. {and cleaning}

Felt good. 9:38 avg. I stopped a few times to stretch my feet and calves so I doubt it would have really been that avg. It probably would have been more like 9:50 or so. But whatever. My last mile was 10:10 bc I ran up a hill. Happy day. Grateful for running.

Ran with Cam today. Up to the LaCaille trail and back down. My achilles is bugging. Actually my whole calf, achilles and feet are hurting. I feel like its all on fire when I'm running. I don't know where the actual pain is stemming from bc it all burns. I'm going to stretch and ice extra today. I'm a little irritated by it. Anyway, Happy running like always.

Resting my achilles or whatever it is that is hurting me. Making birthday cake for my daughter and grocery shopping. Awesome. Looks like my body picked a good day to need a day off.

Ran with Cameron, his friend Blair and Blair's wife Emma. It was a lot of fun. Cam ran really well today. Felt stronger and ran at a much faster pace. He got a bloody chest where his Ipod was sitting and had to move it, it looked totally painful. But it was fun. I was thinking about JD & company quite a bit and at the end of our ten, I said "what if I only had 40 more to go??!!"" HOLY COW!! That is a butt load of miles in one day.

Good news, my achilles didn't bother me at all nor did my feet so hooray! Happy Running!!

9:23 avg. I have the beginnings of a cold. Felt extra tired and wondered how it would go. Went better than I had planned. I hate to jinx anything but running at about a 9:30 avg pace is feeling more like the norm. I'm happy about that. My last mile was 9:00 exactly. So Party On!

9:38 avg. which I'm happy about bc I ran up some hills. I wanted to run down 9800 S. so I ran up the big hill to get there. A little bit sprinkly and breezy but nice day. PArTy On!

We started kind of late today. Cam was having a hard time getting out of his head. But he did a good job. Blair and Emma came with us again so Emma and I would run ahead and then wait. The last mile was hard on me, I was feeling really bad for Cam, I knew he was hatin it but he did it! It was actually getting Hot! woo! We got in the car and he said "how am I ever going to run two more miles?" ha. Its such a mind game.
