I Run Like A Girl

So my determination from yesterday wore off quickly when the alarm went off to get up and get miles in beforehand, turned it off and went back to bed til it was time to meet my group. Maybe after cub scouts I will go back out but kinda doubt it. But anyways I did feel good today on our run!

reg loop with group, a couple of the girls werent feeling good so it was very easy today. wanted to try to get back out after work but got a bad stomache at work and had to just lie down after work.

Added on to one of the 10 mile loops I did, had to stop twice for the bathroom. Now I know why I had a stomache the day before:) Overall felt good, tried to push it for some stretches of the run. Doing 20 tomorrow.

Ran with my friend Jamie and Ruth came along for the first 8 or so. We were supposed to do 20 but my friend only wanted to do 18 which was so okay with me since I am not training for a marathon right now. It ended up being a little short of 18. Had great conversation today, had bathroom issues again and was a little sluggish but not too bad. Jamie said Ruth's stride is so intimidating! Which is so true! Ruth is an awesome runner and it was so fun tohave her come along for a little bit.

Ran some loops around my house. Leg got a little tight around 6 miles, ended up with a little over seven. I will let it rest the rest of the day and hopefully get some more miles in after work either outside or at the gym. Love the spring weather. avg pace 7:18

pm: ran 5.6 miles after work, did my favorite out and back route. Had a headwind for the out portion but coming back was great. avg pace 7:40

easy run with my group, uneventual but nice. avg pace 8:40

Same run as monday, hoping to get in a few more after work. My running seems kinda of boring lately. I wish i had more exciting things to post, oh well.... avg pace 7:36

So wasnt able to run today because of how dumb I am.... So my  eye has been bothering for about 2 weeks now and I was not able to figure it out, I tried switching contacts, my medicated eye drops, taking my contacts out and nothing was helping. Well last night I finally figured it out, I had a contact stuck up high in my eye, I had put in a new pair about 2 weeks ago and did not remove the other one!!!!  My eye was so sore this morning I could not get my contact in let alone hardly keep it open. So I missed my run today:( I hope I can get out later but it looks unlikely as of now. BTW my eye is starting feel much better and I NEED Lasik!!!

Feelin good good good! I had a fantastic run today. I slept in and then headed out, weather was perfect. It was one of those days that my legs felt so fresh and i could have just kept going and going and going. I planned for 10 and ended up with 14, i just kept extending the route. I stopped my in laws to see the progress of the renovations they are doing in their house and it looks so great! Andee and Jody you will be amazed at it, not even the same house upstairs. Totally love it! Ended the run with some weights and core at home.  My poor husband has just been exhausted this week, he took another section of the CPA exam on tuesday and then has been working like crazy. Well when I got home from my run (about 10 am) he was still in bed asleep!! He had fallen back to sleep when I left and never woke til I got home. He was so panicked!  Good thing he didnt have early appts today! Only I week left and I get my hubby back! Avg pace 7:39

Did ten miles with my friend Jamie (she is headed to Boston next week, I am jealous, I wish I was going since the Womens OT's will be going on). Then I was going to add on just 4-5 more on my own but when I got to the point to turn for 4 I decided to keep going. Did the ten miles route we did backwards and there are 2 spots to cut off a little so  i did, I would have liked to done the full ten again but have a baby shower to get to. First 10 avg pace 7:51, last eight avg pace 7:43. Felt awesome and I am sorry to all you notherners that are having crappy weather but I am absolutely loving our weather right now. I need to take full advantage of every minute on it because its not too far away til it gets blastly hot!!!

Not my bestest feeling run today. Ate too many sunday treats and felt very slugglish and heavy... hope tomorrow I feel a little lighter.

Was lazy this morning and slept in so only got 6 in with my group. I have got to get more consistent. I feel like my running is all over the place lately and its buggin me. I know I am the only one that can change that so I got to get better on it. 10 mi everyday in the morning!

Ok so my 10 miles a day starts tomorrow:) Its getting to where its lighter in the morning so I can do my boring laps and then head out and feel safer in the light. Today I just wanted to get back in bed and snuggle with my hubby since TAX SEASON IS OVER and i have not seen him very much lately, so thats my excuse for not going 10. I told myself i would go after work and finish it but that wind was awful today. So I dont know why some weeks I am so gungho (spell?) and others I drag myself out to get there. I love running and am a mess when i dont  but I think its the fact that I dont have anyone waiting for me to show up some of the days (just when its early am). Days I dont work, no trouble at all, wouldnt  even think of starting the day without my run. Gol sorry about my rambling. Anyways tomorrows a new day, right? avg pace 7:23 oh and on a not running note...I have been on a dried fruit kick lately and just started drying my own and it taste so good. I dont put any extra sweetners and its so good. My husband is even lovin it (BTW if you want the BEST dried pineapple EVER, TRADER JOES has it and it is seriously heaven!)

Yeah i got up earlier and did some extra miles before meeting my group. Had a great run, it was alot colder today! Its crazy how the temp can change so fast. No watch today, but went faster on my first 3.5 miles on my own and then pretty easy for the rest.

Did one of my reg 10 mile routes, had a hard time breathing out the start but that mellowed out soon into the run. I think its about time to go get my deep tissue, felt a couple twinges/tightness and my left calf ached for a bit but other than that i felt good today. avg pace 7:40

Nice easy ten. Felt sluggish to start but then half way through got a surge of energy and took off. It felt good. Still contemplating on the hurricane 1/2.

9 mi at a 7:30 avg pace, legs and body felt good. I like that its starting to get light earlier. Finally got registered for the Hurricane 1/2 and am excited about racing it. Will do some weights and core work after work.

An easy 6 with my reg group of girls, very nice, always great conversation. My friend that i had been doing long runs with the past saturdays ran Boston yesterday in 3:31 which was faster than her SG time this year. I was so excited for her. I was always sad yesterday because I was not there. I definetely want to go back again and experience  it again. (and hopefully have good weather!!!)

So yesterday at work the bottam on my heel started to hurt really bad, not like plantars but the bone of the heel. I think it may be from my work tennis shoes that have about seen their day, it ached all night long and this morning when I got up it still really hurt. I decided to take today off and rest it. I wore my running shoes to work today which have my custom orthotics in them and that has helped some. It still hurts though. I am hoping it is just from my old shoes and not something more. I plan on running tomorrow. It just better go away fast!

Had an ok run today. Not one where I felt great but didnt feel terrible. My foot (left) ached for the first 2 miles and then went away. My hamstring and calf on my rest side feels a little tight. I need to make an appt with april soon, I am way over due for getting worked over. It was defintely warmer today, its almost to just shorts and tank. Easy pace today. No garmin.

Had a fanstastic run today with the exception of some stomach issues. Tried to add in as many hills as possible since the half next week is pretty rollie. Had some good paced miles in with a 7:09, 6:58, 6:59, 7:03. Ran a huge hill with a very steep grade that was about quarter of mile if not more. I think I will use it to start training for wasatch back. Last year I did the "ragnar" leg which is 4 miles up very steep switchbacks on a dirt road.They talked about me running it again this year but I am not sure yet if I am. The hill today would help me get a little prepared if I am to run it and if not it would help me on some of the other good climbs in that race.

Avg pace 7:29 and my legs felt pretty good. Foot was a little achy when I woke up but not on the run at all. I think I will go to April after the race next weekend.

Was supposed to meet up with the running club today but we went to the late show last night and then stayed up talking after and I just could not get up and then I thought I will most likely be running by myself anyways (I didnt feel like I would be able to even keep them in site today) so I guess I will just sleep in and go out later. I passed them in the middle of my run and talked to Steve H for a split second. It was Steve, Sasha (i was pretty sure it was sasha) and another guy i did not recognize. They were cruisin! I would have for sure been left in the dust. I had an ok run, the last 3 miles I felt like i was at the end of a marathon. Was planning on 15 but cut it short. Weather was perfect, not to hot or cold. Just right.     avg pace 7:41

BTW we went to "Baby Mamma" last night and it was so dang FUNNY!!! Amy Poehler is hilarious!! She just cracks me up. My husband and his brother and wife loved it too! Go see it!

I am just happy I got out of bed and got out. I kept hitting snooze but finally made it out and got 8 good miles in. So nice its getting lighter earlier. It definetely makes it easier to get out and I feel safer. Garmin turned off in the middle of my run. But I think my time was about 58 min.

Stayed up way too late reading last night reading and therefore was so tired this morning. We had a pleasant suprise, one of the gals who used to run in our group but moved to Logan a couple years ago showed up at the corner to meet us. She usually will call if she is in town but today decided to suprise us. It definetely was so good to see her. My hamstring and upper calf was pretty tight all yesterday at work, felt better today but could still feel it a little. Warm today, no more long sleeve t's for me.
