first 9 down marathon course with nat. went slower (forgot to start garmin)
went ahead at a good pace last 6 mi. really struggled mentally. ususally it goes by so fast but today it seemed like it dragged even though i was moving steadly. Legs still very tired from previous days. nervous about half next week. Nat and I discussed starting track workouts. Excited about that! | |

| Usually mondays are an 8-9 mi run with my group but today the girl I run with only had time to do 4mi which I was happy with since I have the SC half this weekend and dont want to wear my legs out (especially where they were so fatigued last week). splits today were 8:07(uphill), 6:48, 6:55, and 7:50. Felt really good today-no fatigue in legs today:)avg pace 7:23 | |

9 mi loop with cheri, pace felt pretty good. First 2 miles were a steady gradual incline as well as mile 9 Not slow enough to be easy but not fast enough for a tempo. Just a good overall run. Abs and my little home lifting routine | |

Nice easy loop with Peg and Nat, good conversation and company. I love the social part of running and the friendships that get developed. I felt really good today so hopefully that means good things for tomorrow.
Lots warmer today-got hot with my headband and gloves. | |

Well had the SC half marathon today in St. George and while I didn't get a PR I did take first overall for the females.i neverhave taken first so that was pretty exciting, even though it was a pretty small race, I was happy to experience that (and Ive always wanted toknowwhat it felt like to break the tape as cheesy as that is!)
The weather was perfect, was able to wear shorts and tank from the start. It even got a little warm, kinda crazy for Novemeber weather. The course starts at on a very steep downhill and then around mile 1.5 you break off onto a 3 mi out and 3 back on a dirt trail. It was tough for me, Im not a trail runner and it was a gradual incline. I took off to fast at the start (its hard not to on that steep delcline) and at mile 4 I was thinking "I cant believe I have only ran 4 mi, Im already spent!" But anyways I just kept on trucking along and was so excited to see the finish line. Overall it was a pretty good course, I liked where they had the course finish. I did get to meet Josse face to face so that was very fun, she ran a great race!!
Time was 1:31:15 and splits were:
1. 5:30 (see way to fast for me)
2.5:47 (still too fast)
3. 6:36

| Wow my legs, I mean my whole body is sore today. Even my ribcage hurts. I got up out of bed and kinda stumbled around and wondered if I would be able to run. I went out and we did an easy 9 and it actually felt pretty good to get the legs moving. Any downhill at all I could really feel (alot). I can't believe I am this sore. I have not gotten this sore for a long long time. I am going to try to keep my miles up this week, and get a few extra in on turkey day so I can feel a little better about having that extra piece of pie!!(and all the other goodies too:) | |

8 mi loop with nat and cheri, nice easy pace but put some umph into it for the last mile (6:08). Legs finally starting to feel semi-back to normal ... temp dipped below 40 today which was not entirely prepared for, could have used an extra top layer. (I know all you northerner's are laughing but Im baby when it comes to the cold, especially since Im a native of sunny SG.)
Going to try to make it to the gym this afternoon to get some weights in since Im only working a half day today (Yeahhhh), it will be nice to have 4 1/2 day break from scraping teeth:) Tomorrow we are planning on our 4th annual 17 mi loop for Thanksgiving so anyone thats is in SG, your more than welcome to join us. | |

Ran the SC loop with Cheri, down snow canyon parkway, up through the park and then down the marathon course. It was a slow, painful run. I think I was a little dehydrated and neither Cheri or I was feeling that great. Im just glad we got the miles in and got it done. A few times we discussed turning around and cutting it short but we didnt and kept going and finished stronger then when we started. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Went out for 1 hr 15 min walk after turkey dinner. Dont know if I should count these towards slow miles. not sure on the distance. | |

K what can I say, I ran with Ruth today and she is an incredible runner. She took me on on killer trail run which was probably a piece of cake for her but worked me pretty good. Our avg pace was a 7:55 but there was some tough miles on soft sand and some hills. So Im counting 4 miles as fast cuz I dont feel like they were all slow and definetley not easy! I had alot of fun running with her and hope she will let me join her again! Now I off to with the in-laws to do some shopping.
Also did abs and free weights upper body. | |

| Slept in and just went on run with me and my ipod. Right hamstring was a little tight, has felt that way starting out my runs and then it warms up. Avg pace 7:35. Was planning on throwing in some strides but with my hamstring tight I was a little nervous so just kept it at a comfortable pace. | |

| Went 3.75 with Nat and didnt feel that great but then went 5.35 with peg. and felt tons better on the second half. Avg pace was an 8. Right hamstring still feeling a little tight, been stretching it but know I need to be better about stretching it out throughout the day. I need to get going with some speedwork, (strides and tempos) but have felt a little unmotivated to do so. I think I go through the winter running blues(every year!) when the weather starts to turn colder. I am giving it to the end of the week to take it easy on my runs and then I have to get back into the groove of things. By the way I am so excited my two sister-in-laws joined the blog (Jody and Andee)!!! | |

Today Im just glad I got out of bed and ran. I was thinking of every excuse to stay in bed and sleep but I got out and as always so glad that I went. I forgot to start my garmin so I dont have a pace or time but guessing it was about a 7:45-7:50. | |

So this morning I was not feeling well (my husband , a few co-workers, and tons of my patients have been sick) when I got up to go running so I made sure there would be at least two people from group there to run and then I hopped right back in bed and did not feel bad about it at all!
But dont worry I did get my run in after work. I ran up to the SG Running Center from my house (1.43 mi) and then met up with the runners there, we went on the SC parkway trail. I was with some of the guys for the first mile or so and then they took off so I was on my own from there ( I tried to keep them in view on the way out). I felt great , usually when I run at night I struggle a little cuz my body is not use to it and Im tired from work. But this run I really felt fantastic except for my hamstring was really tight.I felt like it kinda held me back from what i felt capable of tonight. I had to stop and stretch it a few times. I turned around when I got 5.15 out so it would give me a little over 10 to go back to my house. On my way down Valley View my husband came up along side me and gave me ride home (he was worried about me running in the dark) so my run got cut short a little, but good enough for me.

Well today will be no miles day for me. My hamstring as I mentioned before has been bothering me and this morning when I got up I could really feel it so I made the conscious decision to rest it today. Its hard for me mentally to take a day off but I know I need too. (I had trouble with my hamstring after the Spectrum 10k in March which is almost an identical course to the SC half except shorter )
Anyways on a different note and maybe I will post this on the discussion board but do any of you out there suffer from Restless Leg Syndrome too? I have since I was in high school, its never been very bad but the past 3 or 4 years it has gotten worse.Wakes me up at night, or hard to fall asleep cuz they are so flinchie (is that a word??) and achy. They get bad when I fly or travel or watching a movie late at night.It seems to be worse when I have done a long run or a run where I put more into it. I dont want to use the medication they have out to help with it. Any recommendations??? | |

So I feel like I am kinda in slump, we usually go 8-10 on wed. Both of us were feeling sluggish so we took the shorter route. I know we should have just sucked it up and went the whole thing but sometimes you should need to cut it short and hop back into bed . The past 2 weeks I have just not had the greatest runs and I have to give myself major pep talks each morning to get out to run.Not that I dont want to run but I just want to stay in my warm bed and sleep! It seems like every once in awhile I go through this and then I am back to normal after it runs its course. I will try to back out today after work to at least get 8 in but will see...
After our run I had about 50 minutes til I had to start getting ready for work so I put back on my pj's and cozy robe and hopped back into bed but forgot to turn my alarm on, needless to say I woke up late and had seriousley rush to make it in time and you can tell by looks of me today:)
So I made it back out tonight to finish my miles, it would have made it alot easier and more time efficient if I would have done it this morning. I had a great run tonight, felt fantastic with just a little tightness in my hammy which warmed up quick. Warmed up the first mile taking it easy and then my splits were 7:00, 6:55, 7:05, 7:31 with an avg of 7:21. I ran a 1.8 mile loop around my neighborhood and then headed out a little ways and did little over 3 miles. Now I can really put on my PJ's and go to bed! (missed my usual weights on wed nights because of my laziness this morning) | |

So I slept in a little today, see on tues and thurs I usually meet a couple girls at 5am ad then a another gal at 6am. I was up alot later than I usually am last night so I just met up with 6am friend. But dont worry I will get the rest of miles in tonight when I go with the Running Club and plan on getting around 8 miles in. (hopefully the rain will hold off til we are done). Not cold at all this morning!
avg. pace 7:58
PM went with the Running Club after work, small group today mostly cross country runners. Decided to stay on the trail system and do an out and back since its getting dark early. So we headed out and I thought we were going to turn and go down the SC parkway but instead we kept going straight and headed UP the trail that parallels the marathon course. Holy moly I am use to running down it but not UP it. The group took off pretty fast for myself, so I hung back with some others til I got my groove going. Felt pretty good and got in some killer hills. Went out 2.65 and then turned around and headed back. Even though my pace going up was around 8:20 on the outI am putting them in the fast category because I was pushin it on those hills. coming down my splits were7:11, 7:12, and the last .6 was at a 6:50 pace. Avg pace was 7:45 Perfect weather tonight! Sorry Ruth that I didnt get to run with you, I wasnt to far behind you guys and then I turned earlier than you guys did. See you on Saturday !! | |

So I am trying not to make too many excuses about not running today but I missed my only window of opportunity to get my run in. It was raining pretty hard when we were supposed to head out. I dont like starting out in a downpour but if I am running and it starts raining I can deal with that. I didnt have the motivation to drive to the gym to run 8 miles on the treadmill. After work I had a ton of errands to run and no I could not run them on foot and then other obligations to attend to. So I will just have to make tomorrows run count! | |

Ran 10 miles of the painters1/2 marathon course with Ruth. Wanted a refresher on it, I used to run that course almost every saturday back a few years ago but didnt realize it was the 1/2 marathon course. I felt good the whole time and my hamstring didnt bother me at all (yeah!!) We saw lots of other runners out and few that I know and hadnt talk to or ran with for awhile so that was fun to stop and chat for a minute or two. Weather was nice today, not to cold, overdressed but I would rather shed then be freezin' the whole time. Thanks for running with me Ruth!
I drove home and wanted to get in a few extra miles so I did 5.5 mi around my neighborhood, again felt good. Last two miles my stomach started to cramp a little which is never any fun, just wanted to hurry to get back home.
Free weights, pushups, dips, squats, lunges and ab workout at home.

| Well todays run did not turn out to be my best ever. We run alot on the SC Parkway trail, well its under construction for umpteenth time!!! so the the trail is blocked off at every intersection (driveway into subdivisions). We can usually go around but because it rained over the weekend it was really muddy so we went onto the sidewalk on the other side of the street,Which wasnt any better because its pretty much an obstacle course around signs and cones, so I hopped off the sidewalk into the gutter and then from the gutter to the road .Well there is drop that a i didnt realize was there. Both Cheri I stumbled but icaught it just right and rolled my ankle! ouch! We stopped for a minute and then walked for a minute and decided to try running, it actually felt ok but when we would have stop at the lights it hurt to walk and by the end of the run it was pretty sore. I hurried into my house and iced for 20 minutes. But its starting to swell. I will ice it as much as I can at work today and IB up but now I have one cankle! | |

| Half with cheri and other half with peg. Could not find my garmin this morning so no exact times but Cheri had to be back for some early meetings so we had a little faster pace than we usually do. (at least it felt faster). Ankle felt really ok running but now after its a little sore but I am glad it is runnable. More ice and IB:) | |

| Did a similar route but avoided the SC parkway today-did an out and back, which I usually dont like but was suprised I really did today, we got some more ideas from it and some different routes til our trail is back to normal. We had a good pace today, again I dont have a pace or time because I would stop by garmin and then would forget to start it, but it felt great! Its always nice when you feel good and can run without thinking about that you are running! (or that it is cold or you want to go back to bed) I didnt have any negative thoughts today and if I didnt have to get back for work i just may have kept going. These kind of days make running worth it! | |

So I finally get to enter in my blog. I missed my run this morning because my 5am friend cancelled early in the morning (and I dont like to go out in the mornings in the winter when its dark by myself, my brother is a sargent with the SG PD and the past couple years there have been several attacks on female runners in SG, so I promised my husband and brother I would not go alone) so I went back to bed til I met with my 6am friend but I forgot to reset my alarm clock so I totally stood her up, I felt so bad ! But I got off work early today and took off ( I wanted to go with the running club but since I got off at 4 today I didnt want to wait)
I tried a little experiment tonight. I wanted to see what my avg pace is at a relaxed comfortable state and putting no extra effort into the run, never pushing myself out of that comfort zone. Avg pace 7:25, time 1:15 min .I was happy with that.
Hey Andee and Jody, we got out shutters put in yesterday, I love them. Andee- Garrett and I were thinking that if you want any of our white wood blinds for your basement you could have them. They might not fit just right but garrett says you cut them to fit. Let us know. | |

Ran 6.5 with my fabulous friend Natalie whom I havent ran with for a couple weeks, so that was good to catch up with her and get a good run in. Got back to my place and then did laps around the block til I got 10 miles in. I figured my excuse for for not wanting to go alone could be solved my staying really close to home and just doing laps like I have read a few of you do.
TGIF!!!!! | |

Wow what a nice morning, not too cold at all. Ran with Cheri, my friend Nat joined us for the first 4. Went 11.5 with Cheri and then added on a little extra running around my neighborhood (laps). On Mon and Wed my pals my running partners have to be back by 6:30 but I dont have to get in the shower til 7, usually I just go lay back in bed for a half hour but I decided I am going to use that extra half hour to get in a few extra miles.

I know, I know I know that this is not even close to the minimum of 8 miles I am supposed to be doing a day and my excuses are no good. I didnt make it out this morning because I could not sleep last night and didnt end up falling asleep til 3am and 4:30 came really fast. I could not move out of my bed, literally I felt like I had been run over my truck! So how did I get my 2.5 miles, well I attempted to go after work and felt miserable, legs werent working andI got a major side stitch so I ran back home and dont think I will try to go back out again tonight. So I will try to make them up during the rest of the week. I know they are not good excuses but thats just the facts! | |

Todays run ended up being further than we planned on going because we got lost! We tried a this new route that we did last saturday but with a few adjustments well we must have taken wrong turn out in Santa Clara heights and ended up way out in Ivins going totally the opposite direction of what we had thought. It was so dark and I dont know Ivins at all and we got totally turned around so we added on 3.5 miles which isnt a ton but when you have a time to be back its alot extra to add. (my friend had to be back at 6:30) so we had to high tail it home, I felt like I was running in a race. So I got some extra miles and some speed work which is good considering my tues run.
But it was so warm this morning, i wore way too much and had to shed alot of clothing! | |

| Nice easy run with Cheri. Felt a little sluggish today, must be from all the goodies I got my hands on yesterday and brrrrr..... it was cold...well for down here. I felt weighed down from all the layers. I am just glad its done for the week and I can relax for the weekend and snuggle up with a blanket on the couch! Although I have to go to the grocery store and that could be a little scary today. Have a great weekend and a Merry Christmas! | |

Ran with Cheri, felt really good the whole time. We stopped at a light and I stopped my garmin and guess never restarted it again (I do that alot!) We did a slightly different route today and really liked it. I had to go back after and clock it with my car to get the mileage.
Since I dont have work today decided to make the most of my time and went to the gym to do some weights, which felt so good to since I have slacked greatly on that lately, then I did 25 min. on the eliptical, it said it was 3.8 mi but I dont if the machine is accurate. Did first 15 at level 8 and last 10 at level 9.
Merry Christmas! | |

Went out after a morning of opening presents with the in laws and a big breakfast. I ran into the wind for the majority of my run but other than that it was a nice morning and good easy run. It so fun to have the day to spend with family!!!

Today I had some "ugly" miles. Last night my stomach started not to feel the greatest (could be the 5 brownies and every other sweet I inhaled or that my family has all not been feeling good). I felt sluggish and sick to my stomach right from start, but I told myself just get this done and then I can go home take a warm shower and snuggle up on the couch! It felt like I was out there for an eternity.My running partners kids were sick all through the night so I was on my own today, it is so much nicer torun with someone, especially when you are not feeling the greatest, it really distracts you from it. I really missed her today!

Well I got some resistance training this morning, it was really windy! I wanted to turn around so bad and just cut it short but I just kept thinking about everybody else that runs in the wind and doesnt let that stop them (esp the SF winds i hear about). I didnt head out til close to 9am (its been nice sleeping in but it sure is going to make it hard next week) I was on my won again today, My friend got stuck up in cedar last night due to the weather and wasnt able to make it back. And then I felt so bad because I invited Ruth but went to bed before I got her message on the blog she was coming. So I thought she wasnt and stood her up. SO SORRY RUTH!!!

Ran a nice easy 10 down the SG marathon course with my friend peg. (my husband was very nice and got up early to drive us up and drop us off) avg was about an 8 pace
Then I ran 2.5 more miles at 7:11 avg pace, with the last mile being up hill. It was really hard for me! Usually that is not hard for me to run that pace and such a short distance. So it was kinda frustrating to me. I am hoping it is just because my week is thorwn off a little by eating absurd, going to bed late and running later in the morning and probably because I have not done any form of legit speed work for a long time! I have got to get on the ball and start throwing in some strides and a tempo run each week! | |

Ran the Painters 1/2 marathon course today with Cheri and Ruth (Ruth did the first 7 since her foot has been bothering her) and then another girl that I met during the summer came too.
It was a good run, avg pace was 7:58 and 1:43 in time. | |

Ran 10 with Cheri after work. Took first seven very easy and then realized what time it was when we stopped for a bathroom break at the market and we both needed to get back for dinner plans and so we booked it the last 3 miles home, no watch, so no time but it felt very speedy!
Happy New Year! | |
