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!!

2010 Ran my first marathon!! TOU! Woo Woo!

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. :)

Personal:

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

Cheated and had Scott drop me off at the mouth of the canyon. I did not want to fight hills today. At .5 I was running down 9400 where the shoulder is really narrow. I jumped onto the dirt to let a car pass and lost my footing and fell. I ripped my favorite tights. $^#$@&^!! And twisted my ankle a bit. But not bad. I could feel it the rest of the run but I'm sure its fine. So I finished the run with a bloody knee, scrapped hand and a damaged ego. 

9:45 avg. {cheating} Felt pretty good. Grateful I only had a few little hills to climb today. Good Times

another awesome 30 mile week!

yikes, i hate falling during a run - hope your ankle is okay.

oh no! im sorry, lysa. ankle twists are the worst, and ripped tights are a close second. just remember that nothing says "tough" like finishing a run with a bloody knee.

nice job with the run and another great 30 miles this week.

Ankles heal, but your favorite tights will not! That stinks! You should sue.

Hope everything is all fixed up and nothing is seriously damaged. ;o)

dang it I'm so sorry you fell. Sorry about your tights.

Another amazing week for you!
