Running Accomplishments:

2009- Finished the Hobble Creek 1/2 and the Provo River 1/2  And have done 3 more 5k's

2010 Got my PR with the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon!!

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 driven out of bed by anger over the weight I have gained. Decided to do hills. Ran around the hood and  then down to flat Iron to run those hills. I had run them twice when I saw Jeff and Stacie. They were about to do hill sprints so I joined them. It was fun! Then I ran up 8600 back home to make it 4. After doing the sprints, I didn't realize how tired that made me until I was running up 86th home. It was almost comical. Man I'm out of shape. I guess that's what happens when you stay up late, sleep in, and eat like crap for a month. Good times.

Went down by Falcon park and up Falcon today. About a mile into it, someone came up right behind me and let out a big breath right by my ear.  SCARED the H out of me! I whipped around and it was Jeff! He was giggling. Ha! I kind of freaked out and as he was running away, I heard him giggle again. :) Then up Falcon, left on Quail, down to Willow Hills where I ran into Jeff again! He was doing 9 @ a 9 avg pace. I was doing 5 @ a much slower than that pace. :) good times.

still running to the bathroom a lot. Woke up with my left eye swollen shut too. Awesome. Don't know if its pink eye or what. May have to go to the Dr. Which just irritates me. But my mood is a little better today I guess. Can't help being a little annoyed at the circumstance. Go run for me and make them good! good times.

Ran the first two with Stacie, she happened to be running past my house when I came outside. It was fun but I was slowing her way down on the the 2nd mile. Sorry Stacie. So I told her to go. I felt a little sick to my stomach so I walked a bit on mile 3. Then finished. Overall a pretty crapola run but its better than not going. Grateful for running.

Triple Buy back bonus:

Cheers

Felt pretty good. Nice steady run.

Scott and I are taking the kids camping today for two nights up in the Uinta's. Haven't been camping for a couple of years, I'm kind of excited. Good times.

My silly brother got sucked into doing the TOU half next weekend, and he hasn't been training really at all. So he asked me to do 8 with him today. We did our usual long route through dimple dell and left at 5:45 this morning. It was fun. Good to do something over 5. Its been a long time for me. :) Good time. Never regret getting up early to run when its over.

My alarm went off at 6:15 but it was just offensive so I turned it off and fell back to sleep. Got up w/ my daughter who started 7th grade today! Exciting times for her...{if she only knew how awful jr. high is.} but I'm glad she is blissful. Ran a quick 3 around the hood. Felt good to sweat horribly. Happy Friday!

Ran three around and up NC. ran into Jeff and Stacie at the top and ran back down with Stacie. Jeff ran ahead. Was fun. I was glad I saw them. Fun to run a little with Stac. It seemed warmer than its been and I was extra thirsty. Stacie and I ran through a couple sets of sprinklers. That always feels awesome. Have a great Saturday! 

p.s. She sped me up for those last two even though she said she was worn out and running extra slow. It was good for me!

didn't feel well when I woke up but I HAD to run. So a quick 3. I sprinted up the hill on 17th for as far as I could. Almost made it to the top. Felt good. Did I mention how nice it is to have the kids back in school? :)

Ran into Stacie right as I was turning the corner from my house so I ran with her. It was fun. We weren't going fast bc she was being patient with me. I was having waves of nausea once in awhile but just tried to ignore them. At one point I made her go ahead of me around the loop and I met her at the bottom of the loop. Then I was going home and she asked if I wanted to go more with her, I said "No" and she put her arm out to block me and made me go more with her. Then I left her again for a minute and met her on a different street. I was having inner battles with myself.  It was "Do I want to go more? ..yes, no..yes..maybe..no. okay fine!" So then I finished with her. She ran 6 and I ended up with 5.5. Thank you Stacie for being so patient and nice to me. You are a good friend. I needed that today. I will just call my my little Jillian.

I was startled awake from a terrible nightmare. Kind of left me out of sorts. I went outside to adjust our sprinklers and unexpectedly got splashed right in the face. So that added to my strange. Was a weird run.

Crazy lightning and thunder last night. One of the strikes seemed like it was in my back yard. I have only heard it like that one other time and I was in the Uinta's. Run was decent. Nice temps. Good times.

Went a different way today bc I'm so bored with the same old. Ran up Alta Canyon and down NC. Was a nice change of scenery, reminded me of running up Falcon though. A little harder than NC. But worth it for the change. I left at 8:00 today too. Was able to avoid the sun bc of the direction I was going. AC is on lower ground so the sun doesn't hit it as early. I'm a much better runner when I can go later. I look forward to cool autumn morning runs around 9:00 instead of stupid 6:30 am
