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!
