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. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Walked 4 miles with the One Step Program. Still didn't run yet. But I ate two cookies yesterday and a hotdog. {disgusting] I mean about the hotdog. My diet coke streak is still going strong. So is the water consumption. I see a lot of the bathroom. Just bought a new crockpot. Life is good. Get High.

The One Step Program cancelled so I took advantage of it and went for a run! Hooray! I felt like crap. I feel a cold coming on so I feel tired. 10:33 avg.  But it still was nice to breathe. It's funny how I miss breathing more than I actually miss the act of running when I'm not doing it. I need to prioritize better so I can fit in the running more. Every day I just get lazy and walk instead. I need to be fitting in both. That was the original plan anyway, I just haven't made it happen. Anyway, blah blah blah..Get High

10:03 avg. Ran down from the mouth of Ctwd, around dimple dell then down 94th up Highland, home. 

I was running mostly down and that was my avg. Just a heads up JD. Next canyon run won't be another one like our last one. So wear yourself out this week before you go with me.
My lungs were pretty mad at me the first mile so that's good. Felt good to run. Really good.

early Ortho apt. Which just sucks bc the kids were out of school today so it could have been a sleep in day. Didn't know they were out when I scheduled it. Then a walk with some of the One Step'ers. Then Costco to pick up a prescription. Also I mowed the lawn and picked up a butt load of dog poo. Literally. Tomorrow I run. Get High

Wow, Thanks JD for helping me put a TEN'er back up on the board. That feels good. Met JD at the bottom of Millcreek and Scott drove us to the top so we could run down. I can't remember if this the 3rd or 4th year I've done this run in the fall. I love the tradition, It makes me so happy to be up there. And I love how fast those miles fly by in that canyon. It's a beautiful, perfect way to start a Fall Saturday morning. 

Not gonna lie, I struggled. Haven't run hardly at all since the marathon and it was obvious. I was a little annoyed it got so hard {esp at the end} You think that just bc you ran a marathon, a ten miler will be a piece of cake. And it wasn't . I think JD said our avg was 9:47?? Which isn't bad, but last time we ran it, we were a Lot faster. {my bad} 

Anyway, Thank you JD for making the drive to meet me. Thanks for the company and the fun morning. I had a lot of fun and I'm SOO glad I did it. I've missed that high you get when you know you just did something cool. So Thank you for helping make it happen. GET HIGH 

P.s. Sorry the pictures SUCK! stupid phone.  

p.s.s. When I got home, I realized my sports bra was on inside out. No wonder it was so hard to fasten. I just assumed it was bc I was tired & it was dark when I put it on.

Felt good to run. I look ridiculous trying to walk bc of the canyon but when I run my legs don't hurt at all. Ran up NC and when I got in front of the school there was throw up on the side of the road. As I ran by it I tried to hold my breath but I still got a whiff of it and I started to gag. I had to walk for a second until I knew I wasn't going to puke myself. ugh, that is seriously the worst smell in the world. 
Anyway..so grateful I can go out and run 5 miles. Life is good. Get High

Pure irritability got me out the door today. It's not good for your mental health to be sick & not be able to run. So don't get sick. Get High

I like winter running better than summer running. It was slushy and I had to avoid some puddles but I like the cool temps and crisp air. Really pretty with the fall leaves and snow. The road was wet and reflecting the clouds in the sky, it was mesmerizing. Squats lunges get high

Really tired today. Had to be up at the crack of dawn to go the Jr High. Didn't sleep well. Ran down to Falcon and around the park a few times then up the Granada hill. Oh, did I mention the Granada hill is the biggest one in my hood?? Well it is. And I ran up it. Pretty rad. I've been eating too many halloween treats and I feel like a whale.
