Ran with friend Peg,  it was good run. Hamstring felt a little tight running to the corner to meet her. Did alot of stretching before we took off and did not feel it a bit during the run. I need to go to the chiro and make sure my hips are not out of whack (I think that may be contributing )

I hoping to make it to club tonight to run but I forgot I have Pack Meeting til this morning. So we will see how much I feel like rushing tonight to run, shower, and make it there in a short amount of time.

avg 8:29

update:just got back from my chiropractor ( I usually go about every 2-3 ms but have not been before the marathon) and I was extremely out of whack. My hip was really torked, so I think it should really help my hamstring. The first time I had trouble with my hips being torked a little (about 5 yrs ago) it pulled my quad really bad. So we will see how it feels!

PM So went with the club tonight, did the same usual route.Did a 1.25 mile warmup around the store. Ran with Ruth most of the first half.. Had a good discussion with Holt if I qualified for a handicap sticker for my car because of heighth. Thanks Holt j/k i actually thought it was pretty funny! Then we got to where you can turn and make it 7 or add on to do 10. Steve and Mike were going on so I though what the heck I will do ten (got out of pack meeting tonight, they didnt need my help tonight) and forgot about my warmup mile. So I ended up with plenty more miles than I anticipated today, oh well. It felt good to get them in. Had a great run with Mike and Steve.They were nice to let me tag along:)  The route had alot of uphill, which was good for me to do. Overall pace was 7:30 but had some low 7's, a couple 7:03, 7:04, 7:13, 7:08. Happy with that for a night run, and the uphill.  Thanks guys for a good run! My hamstring felt so good, I felt balanced running and both legs were getting equal movement, instead of a pull on my right leg! very happy about that, i dont know why I didnt go sooner!

I would choose the run, Pack Meeting is full of "stinky" cub scouts - they will not notice.

No doubt about that!

Oh Pack Meeting!!! What a joyful occasion. If my memory serves me right the cultural hall does end up smelling a bit strange with all those boys. I would go for the run and then not are what I looked like for pack meeting.

You never need a shower prior to a scout meeting! That way you will blend right in with the boys, possibly even some of the parents. Good miles today, nice job getting out! I will text the Sat run to you if you can't make club.

Tonight pack meeting is at St. George Ford, hmmmm..not sure why but sounds good to me. Alright I will go "stinky"!!! My last patient cancelled so I will be able to make it in time to club and hopefully get a few miles prior to.

You can always take a military shower w/o washing hair. I only wash my hair once a day, even with two-a-days. It's so hard to take quick showers in the winter, though.

I find that I have to go to the chiro about every couple of months. I started having problems with my hips after I had daughter. I think it is about time I go as well. That definatly could be the root of the hammy problem. Hope it helps.

Hey, you did awesome tonight! I have no doubt about the Ogden time!! When it comes, your fitness level will be off the charts, I just know it!

From Dustin on Thu, Jan 24, 2008 at 21:53:09

Man, you're doing awesome with your training. It was fun trying to hang with your pace tonight.

Great run Marcie! You are really tearing it up with all your mileage. And let's hear it for short people! One of these days I'm gonna make a T-shirt that says "Short Pride." He he he.
