early morning 4. Felt like I was dragging a bit but it still felt good. Pretty morning

Ran better then I thought I would. I felt extra tired getting out of bed but when I started running I felt better.  Went alone today, kind of nice. My own pace, my own route. Its fun to run with Stacie, but its nice to go alone too. Had many marathon thoughts while running today. Watched 20/20 last night. They had a guy on that ran 50 marathons in 50 days in 50 states. On average, he likes to get up at three in the morning, go run a marathon and then around two oclock go do some speed work with a 10 miler. WTH?

Ran with Stacie. Nice morning but it was a little bit hot. I know this is only the beginning. Im not complaining though, It beats more snow! Right ankle felt a little bit funny, not funny enough to stop or anything. Ran up a hill at the end and thought I would have an emergency bathroom break for a second but it went away. Too many beans yesterday I guess. {I know you were dying to know that}

Only had time for 3 today anyway, have to take Sen to an orthodontist apt at 8:00. Warm morning out there, im sweating like crazy. Cant believe I signed up for a marathon, but now a 1/2 doesn't feel scary to me anymore. Im actually looking forward to only having to run 13 miles for the Hobble Creek. Now it feels like a 5k in comparison.

Woke up about 10 minutes late and so I went by myself for 3 miles, then I ran into Stacie and ran a mile home with her. I took my own sweet time while I was alone and just enjoyed the scenery. When I hooked up with Stac, I picked up the pace and took off. Funny how that happens. Decent run, need to bring my sunglasses next time, it is so bright heading East, its hard to even cross the street looking in that direction, blinding.

Felt pretty good today. Slept like a rock last night, nice morning. Went with Stacie.

Woke up at 5:30 and ran with Stacie. I think I talked her on to getting on the blog. Run was good, we were at a 10.30 {thereabouts} average, so overall pretty slow but it felt really good. I kept saying "its all about distance not speed" bc she feels like she has to go fast so she can up her husband. They're funny, really competitive with each other. But I LOVE a good relaxing long run, they're my favorite. It was fun to go that distance with her again, its been forever since we have done that. Anyway, much better day today. happy run. happy running to you.

Felt good today, I thought I would run faster then I did today but I was slow again. whatever. And even though I'm complaining that I had to turn my heat on last night, It sure is awesome to run in this weather. How often can you go run 5 miles in June at 10:30 a.m. and not die from heat?  The schedule said I'm supposed to cross train today but honestly I don't know what to do besides run, nothing sounds as much fun or as brainless as running. OH and look for Stacie on the blog now! She signed up yesterday!

Ran with Stacie, felt good and then came home and did weights. Woke up with my eyes glued shut and an itchy throat but I think its just allergies bc I feel good now. Ate like crap yesterday. Good thing I can start over today. Today is a new day, always is. : )

Felt really strong today. I was worried bc I had one of my headaches last night and had to take a 1/2 pain pill. Went with Stacie and we are talking more and more rather than listening to music. We brought our music and used it on the hills but talked the rest of the time. I LOVE that I can do that now, I never thought I would be able to run and talk at the same time. Its a really welcome and nice change. I mean I love to be inside my head on a run and just go aimlessly with my thoughts, but it is really nice to change it up a bit too. Sometimes I get bored with my thoughts and then I focus on how long the run is taking and what hurts etc. So its great to have options. And I know at any point if I told Stac I want my music now, she wouldn't take it personally. Its nice to run with someone like that too.  Anyway, nice morning, conquered a few hills and ran strong. Happy Running.

My left calf has been whispering to me the last few days but nothing bad. Woke up this morning and it was a little uncomfortable walking down my stairs but I ignored it, went out and started to run and I realized I was limping to avoid that calf.{at least I think that's the muscle that hurts. maybe it's something else, but I feel it in my left calf on the outside of my leg} And then I decided if I warm up it will stop hurting so I kept going, at 1 mile I stopped to stretch it and when I started again It still hurt, so I walked home. Did weights, arm, legs and core. And 30 minutes elliptical. I will stretch it and maybe ice it, Its not a horrible pain but it enough to know that I need to be careful. Bummer. I hope after a day if feels better.

Felt good today, Not as energetic as last week when we ran 9 but still pretty good. My leg only bothered me a little bit at mile 2 and around mile 8 but nothing bad so that made me happy. I loved running 10 today though. Always fun to go that distance, and it was great to talk to Stacie almost the entire time, which is still just crazy to me that I can do that now. We were laughing about adding 16 more miles to what we did today and it almost seems impossible..I said almost, Staying positive and in denial about what I've signed up to do. That will be the best way to go forward I believe. Just be in denial. Happy Running.

Slept horrible last night. Woke up to Erin's text's in the middle of the night. She was running the Ragnar. After that I couldn't go back to sleep and when I finally did, I woke up bc I was hot and had a sore throat {allergies} So I got up and played on facebook at 4:00a.m..and no, im not too obsessed.{only slightly} BUT after feeling a bit hungover this morning, I went and did 3 miles at noon bc Im normal, and normal people love to run at noon in June..But my average was 9.47 so thats not bad considering all of the conditions. Now I will do weights, upper and lower body and core.

 {side note: my leg hurts a little bit again.}

9.31 average. Felt good, beautiful morning, not too hot. Now on to weights and stupid planks. Which are totally hard and I always end up laughing at myself for being so weak! I know I will get stronger, but Im blaming kids {specifically C-sections} for having zero muscle there. And I will not admit that it would have anything to do with the fact that I haven't done sit ups in years. happy running to you.

9.45 avg. Felt pretty good starting out. Ran up Falcon Way otherwise known as the street I hate. My calf started to hurt toward the top of Falcon and so I stopped and stretched for a few seconds and then ran down NewCastle, felt it the whole way down but kept going anyway. I told Stac, I cant explain the pain except for saying it feels like my calf has hemroids. Its like a burning and I cant pinpoint the exact place it hurts. Anyway, ordered new shoes yesterday, hopefully that might help a little. I dont know if thats the issue, but it cant hurt to try. I will R.I.C.E. today as much as I can and head out again tomorrow.  Still, the run felt good.

wow. A 9.50 avg. Which is shocking to me bc I felt like we were going so slow. I thought for sure it would be at best 10.30. I was dragging today, felt tired. So was Stacie. Got home from my daughters dance recital and was limping a bit so I elevated my leg to sleep last night, wrapped it and iced it. It felt pretty good getting out of bed but is burning again right now.  Now I will do SP {stupid planks} and some upper body weights. Im going to avoid doing my lower body today and hope that my leg will feel better.

two mile pathetic run. totally pathetic. I dont want to talk about it. Then home and did weights and 60 minute yoga. Thats all I have to say about that.

Dragging bad today. Luckily Stacie was feeling the exact same way so we were both on the same level. 10.15 avg. Which is better than I thought It was going to be considering how we both felt. At one point Stacie said "I feel like we are running in place." But it was a beautiful morning,  a little bit warm, its time to break out the tank tops. Going to a family reunion in Provo all day..lucky me. Happy Running.

9.58 avg. Good run up NewCastle and then back down. Not much else to say about it.

I was supposed to do 6 today. I started out feeling extra tired and worn down but thought once I got going I would be fine. My body felt achy. I dont know if this is just one of my pms runs or if there is something else wrong. My leg started saying hi to me at 1.5. So nice to hear from her again, its been a few days. I was running at such a snails pace I lost Stacie completely, We were exploring a new neighborhood, which would have been fun had I felt good. Funny how 2 people doing the same exact run can have such different experiences. I hope tomorrow will be a better day.

I was happy it was only 3 today. Still felling a bit worn down but MUCH better than yesterday. 10.02 avg.  The sky was beautiful with the clouds and the sun coming out over the mountains. The wind was annoying and the temp. was HOT. But much better run today.

Did weights. Arms and legs.
