Feelin pretty good this morning, my abs are little sore. Can tell I havent pushed that hard for awhile. Goals this week are to hit 60 miles. I would like to get one quailty tempo run this week, crosstraining and 2-3 days of light weights. Also I am now considering the Utah Valley Marathon. I am going to see how this week goes, do a long run on Saturday and then make a decision next week.

Taking today off. I will do an easy run tomorrow and then see April. I am pretty stinkin tight on my right leg today and calf has a pretty big knot and I can feel the muscle flinching. So I am takin break today and will do some weights and core later tonight. I am playing catch up today on all the stuff I did not get accomplished on saturday after the race. After racing I sometimes getting pretty queasy and lots of stomach cramping. Its not every time, but saturday I felt pretty crummy all afternoon but needless to say that did not stop me from downing a whole bag of mini cadbury eggs!!! I am serious the whole bag (I accomplished that after Moab as well:)

So this week is going to be kinda of a recovery week for me instead. Only 6 today and most likely just 6 tomorrow. Thursday I will bump it back up and go from there. Ran with my group today. My friends husband who is 44 and just battled cancer 6 yrs ago just had 6 bypasses done on his heart last friday, so it has been a whirl wind for her the last few days. It was good run for her to just be able to talk and get her mind off all that is going on.

No running today because of my deep tissue last night, I was hoping I would be able to do an easy 6 even though she had told me not to run on it but my calf was so sore today I could bearly walk on it this morning. It feels so much better now. Did the elipitical for 30 min and then weights and core. I feel like the biggest blob this week from cutting my miles so drastically back but I know it will pay off in the long run. I am really been watching my diet so I dont gain weight this week. I plan on 9-10 mi tomorrow, friday and longer on sat. Pretty sure I am not going to run the Utah Valley Marathon now. I will not be ready for it and dont really want to spend the money to drive up there.

Ended up just doing 6, I hoping to do ten but was not feeling it today with my leg so 6 is good for now and hopefully tomorrow and sat should be better and next week back in full swing.

Finally some decent mileage today. Ran 6 with my group and then added on 8 . First 6 were pretty slow but on my 8 I tried to pick up the pace a little. Felt good. Leg slightly tight but much better. So thats good for me. Planning on 18 tomorrow. I love long runs and they way you feel after! Happy Easter Weekend!

Ran with my friends Jamie, Trisha (they are twin sisters) and Trisha's huband Jeff (he is doing an iron man in 3 weeks). Ran out in the washington fields, havent ran out there for a long while but it was nice, and the company was great. I felt awesome and felt like I could go forever. We were in the 8-8:15's for most of the run and then Jeff and I kicked it in to the low 7's high 6's for the last 3.5 miles. It supposed to be 18 but ended up being a little short which was ok since i was on a sprint to the bathroom. Overall it was a great run and hope to get out with them more often.
