I usually dont run with the girls in my neighborhood on wednesdays because they do a hill workout and my heartrate sky rockets on hills but they were just doing one of our reg 10.5milers so I jumped at the chance to join them. Felt great, the first half my legs were a little tired but the second half felt great and I even added on a little at the end to give me 12. Will do weights tonight after work. avg pace 8:35

So tired when I woke up, really thought about staying in bed but with it being tax season my husband gets up early so I knew I wouldnt be able to go back to sleep with him getting up and showering. Told myself I would just run 6 and if I felt good I would add on after. First couple miles all three of us were dragging but gradually started to perk up and ended up adding 2 miles after reg 6. One of the other girls joined me so that was nice to have the extra company. avg pace 8:49

Had a big group today. One of our old running buddies moved back from Logan and then a couple other girls came, one that just had a baby and the other doesnt usually come on saturdays with us. Felt like our old group back together again. Were just missing 2 other girls and we would have been complete.. Ran 8 and then a few of us added on a few more. Felt really really good. Just the last mile got a cramp in my calf. Will use my stick and scrape it and hopefully it will go back to normal. avg pace 8:42 (with a little walking waiting for one of the girls and then a short water stop).

I am just amazed at how good I am still feeling running, the first miles lately my belly feels a little heavier but then I dont even notice it the rest of the run. I was for sure by now there would be no way I could still be running 8-10 miles more than once a week. I know the day will come when I will have to start cutting some miles back but for now I am going to just soak up every mile I can!

Another fabulous run with great friends. The first 8 miles we were clipping along, after the 2 mile uphill everytime anyone of us looked at our GPS we were about 7:30's and I felt great running that pace.. My heartrate was great and I just felt fantastic. Two of the girls stopped at a little over 8 miles and then my other friend and I added on a cool down, way nice easy relaxed pace. Beautiful morning!!!

Got in to my hotel late night before and was exhausted from getting up early to run 10 on wed, and then working and then driving to salt lake. And what exhausted me the most is walking into Babies R us and feeling completly overwhelmed by everything. Almost had an anxiety attack and had to leave. TOO MUCH baby stuff in that store and dont know what half of it is used for!

Lots off walking around today but  ate too many sweets though!

The little fitness center at the place I stayed didnt open til 7:30, so only had time for a few miles. Was late to my conference but I needed to sweat so much more. HATE the TM but did make me feel better.

Whoa harder run today. Took me four miles to feel good and not have my legs feel so heavy. My feet and legs were still swollen from driving yesterday. Even though today was hard it helped me feel so much better and sweat off the extra water weight. And the last 6 I felt great!  avg pace was 8:30.

Great run today. Didnt really feel like getting up and going but know I needed too. Ended up feeling great and so glad I went. I would have been so mad at myself if I slacked 2 days in a row.

Ran with Peg, felt good but calf started to act up last couple miles. I am well in need of new shoes, Steve has a pair waiting for me at his store, just need to find the time to drive over there to pick them up. I liked when his store was just up the street from my house.

Slept in and went for an easy 10 miler, GPS is acting up and havent had a chance to sit down and figure out whats going on so no avg pace, just did a route I know is exactly 10. Felt good. Last night was cleaning the bathroom and hopped up on the counter and my hip popped really bad. Its a little sore and my movement is slightly retrained on it. Felt fine running but its the after thats bugging me. A visit to the chiro might be in order. Can you go to them when you are pregnant???

Wonderful morning. Felt very good. Legs more tired today but other than that felt so good! Avg pace 8:23 (off Pegs garmin) Somehow I hit something that changed my distance to reading in feet instead of miles, it has done this before but I have a troubleshooting guide that tells you how to switch it back but i have searched for the book and cant find it so I will have to call and see how to fix it. I feel so weird running without it!!!
