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. :)

Long-Term Running Goals:

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

Married, 4 kids, started running to lose mommy weight and have alone time. Now I run bc of EVERYTHING

strength, sanity, awareness, confidence, attitude, health, peace, life, and Because I CAN

I was afraid I would forget how to run bc Its been so long. It was slow and little bit hard but it felt good to be back out there. Left at 6:20 bc today is officially moving day for my parents so I have to go over there in a few. Lifting boxes all day long and cleaning, counting that as exercise also. party on!

Ran 4 miles to my Mom's new place. Its only a mile away but I took the long way there. Needed to check on her but wasn't very anxious to do so. I found her doing so well. Such a relief. Night and day compared to the last three days & I'm so grateful. So I visited with my parents for awhile and then ran the mile home. Deep breath, party on.

I have nowhere to be today. Its amazing! So I took my sweet time on a very hilly run and it felt marvelous. Cloudy, cool temps with a few sprinkles here and there, perfect.

gotta count the .12 :) I was pretty tired today, didn't get much sleep last night plus I haven't eaten anything since 4:30 yesterday afternoon. I should have enough fat on me to find that energy but I just felt kind of worn down today.

Saw Cameron running down NC while I was running up. Made me happy, he hasn't run much since the half so I was glad he was out there. But then again, neither have I. Its all relative. Anyway, party on today!! Have a great day!

Ran 4 to my mom's to check on her. My sister and I took her on a walk around the block, it was good for her. Right before we left though, my dad was mowing the lawn, lost his footing, fell backwards and twisted his ankle. I don't know if its broken. He won't let us take him to the Dr. yet. But its very swollen and now they are both sitting on their couch and I think I might start crying. We went and bought my dad a cane so he can get around the house without putting pressure on it but its a wait and see thing I guess. FOR THE LOVE! Anyway, got them all situated and fed and then ran the mile home. Now I'm going to mow my lawn and pretend none of this is happening. Party on.

4 easy miles around the neighborhood. Ran to the light and saw Stacie, Emma and Ashley! Fun! So I ran 1.8 with them. It was fun to run with Stacie again, its been soo long. I was breathing pretty hard this morning, think I needed some caffeine. Beautiful morning.

Wasn't going to go today bc I had so much to do at home, but I finished earlier than expected so I took some time to go.

One mile around the neighborhood and then hill repeats at Flat Iron park. Took Puddy with me, I think I wore him out. :)

Went on a hike with the kids yesterday up Bells canyon, my P.F. was bugging me more than usual and continued to bother me today until I started on the hill repeats and then it quit. Strange. Oh well, at least if feels okay for now.

My son came in my room last night with flu symptoms. And I woke up with them. Feeling a bit flu-ish. Maybe a walk on the dreadmill later. We will hurry up and wait..to see..If I can move when advil is in me. {that rhymed} just wanted to point out that I'm still hilarious even when flu-ish. party on and enjoy your days.

Wasn't sure how I would feel today but it turned out to be one of the best runs I have had in awhile.

My friend was pulled over in her car by the school so I stopped to say Hi and she was having a bad day. I ended up talking to her longer then I planned, But that's okay. Then I ran the loop and came back home. It felt awesome.

I'm tired of the rain but I have to say, it makes everything look so green & lush and pretty.

Thinking about Stacie and all those running Ogden tomorrow!! Woo Woo!!

9:31 avg. But the good part about that is I ran the last two miles at 9:14 & 9:13 {so close to 8 something} but they felt effortless and it wasn't until I got home and checked that I noticed that. I love happy runs. If I knew they could all be like this, I would run twice a day or just never come home.  Off to games now.

got up early to go to the Dr. only to have it postponed. Then downstairs to get kids ready only to find out one is sick and staying home. On the computer to find out whats up with my day only to get in a big fight with my daughter. "Let us all speak kind words to each other"...NOT! Then errands. Then a PB&J. Can I have a do-over of this day? Maybe a little some-in' some-in' later. OH Wait! Not THAT some-in' some-in'..I meant  like a walk or something. ANYwaaysss.. have a great day people! {mean it}

Felt good. Kept them under 10. You would think I would be able to do that all the time, but I'm still working on it. Last one 9:18. decento. {that's my spanish for decent.}

I had my own personal 5k around the neighborhood. Two reasons, one I don't have much time, and 2, I wanted to see what I could do today.

Decento again. 9:30, 9:12, 8:50 SO avg was 9:09. So 28 minutes. I want to bring that down a minute or two. I will try again soon.

PF was bugging me the first 1/2 mile. I found myself trying to put all the pressure on the out side of my foot and in doing that I started to feel pain up the outside calf so I just put the pressure back on the PF. Don't want to create a new injury. BUT then it went away. For now. It will come back to say hi in about an hour.

Kept them all under 10 except the first one bc I saw a friend and walked with her for a street so I don't know what my average really would have been. Last three were 9:1 something. I thought the last one would be in the 8's bc everytime I looked down it said 8 something but when it dinged it was 9:12 or something. Oh well. Better than I thought it would go. Feeling alergies or something so I didn't think It would be that great. Always nice when a run surprises you in a happy way. I'm feeling like I need to pull some doubles to prepare for Ragnar but I don't know.

I thought I had allergies but I have a cold. Unless headache and sore throat are part of allergies. I don't know. So I ran a bit slower with some walking intervals. Started to feel like I maybe had a fever?? Hard to tell. BUT even with that my avg was 10:10. I was surprised. I thought with the way I felt it would be in the elevens. So that must mean when I was running, I was moving pretty good. Not bad for my headgames.
