I Run Like A Girl

So I am at work and still have not had time to add to my race report and I did not get my run in this morning. You could have not paid me to get out of bed to run this morning.I feel hashed, my eyes are so tired they hurt!I didnt nap at all yesterday and slept horrible sat and sunday night.  The past 2 weeks have really caught up with me. I will get to bed early tonight and be back at it tomorrow. Legs are not sore or tired from this weekend so thats good but feel a little twinge in my hamstring. Plan on hitting over 60 mi this week.

I did get my house scrubbed down  tonight  after not being  home much over the past 2 weeks! That felt much better than getting a run in today!

Felt good to get out and run. Ran 4 on my own and the rest with Peg and Heidi. Right leg quad and hamstring felt a little stiff. Avg pace 8:02

I wish I didnt have to go to work today so I could just crawl back into bed. Felt like I was still asleep the first couple miles. Legs felt very tired today and my leg is still feeling pretty tight. (getting deep tissue on sat). 2 bathroom breaks was the only eventful thing that happened. avg pace 7:45

plan for the rest of the week is 10 on thurs, 12 on friday and 20 on sat. with weights/core tonight and friday. (and hopefully find some time to sit down and blog some comments. i just havent had time the past couple weeks)

I was a bad bad girl yesterday and didnt run. I know its two times in a week but I really felt like my body needed the rest, feeling a little burned out.

TOday was great, my bestest running friend (started running with her 10 yrs ago and ran my first marathon with her too) Cheri came and ran with me. She got mono 3 weeks before SG marathon last year and then got another flareup in January. She is finally feeling good enough to come and run with me. SHe did great, we had a great pace and it was so good to run with her. SHe tells the greatest stories and we have had some crazy race experiences together. I am so glad she will be able to train with me for SG. I cant imagine SG marathon training with out her. This truly made my week after feeling so crappy all week.

Ran 1.10 miles on my own and then 5.3 with CHeri and then 8.10 on my own. Right leg is still pretty tight, I hate when it feels like this but see April tomorrow and then I am determined to have an awesome running week next week!

current weight 110

Ran with Bill, Dave, Logan and Hayden...well....more like I ran behind them the whole time. Good thing I took my ipod along:) Drove out to Utah hill and drove 10 miles down. We ran up Utah Hill for 10 miles (well I turned around a quarter mile early cuz dave brought my water with him and so there was no reason for my to run the last quarter mile) This was a tough run...as I was trudging along I told myself you can turn around at 8 miles and then I got thinking and I told myself no you can turn around at 9 cuz 18 is much better number than 16 and then when I got to 9 I said no way I have to go all the way cuz i need my water or i will die out here. That is a tough climb!!! Going down felt like heaven and I was so proud of seeing what I had just ran up! I have never ran up it, only down.

Here are my miles coming down, felt awesome, just very hot! 6:23, 6:41, 6:35, 6:31, 6:44, 6:47, 7:00, 7:11, 7:10- started to get pretty tired towards the end. But a good tempo for me.  Saw April after and she worked out some good knots in my quad, hamstring and calf. My right quad going up the hill was burning so bad and i felt like I was dragging it along. Note to self I cant go 2 months btween massages.

Thanks guys for letting me come! You always boost my confidence!
