Somehow missed my alarm this morning and missed my run with the Bermuda Triangle:(  Once I woke up and realized I wouldnt make it to run with them I decided to stay in bed and sleep in since I didnt have the greatest nights rest (I hate sunday nights, I never sleep good!).

Went out about 7:30 tonight and  way too soon after eating dinner, legs felt great but stomach felt heavy and kept getting aches and pains in my guts. yuck!

Ran with Bull and Mike. Ran four of the miles hard and the rest easy. We met at 5:30 instead of 5. I love that extra half hour of sleep! Will run easy 8 tomorrow, 12 on friday and then Swiss Days 5k on sat and plan on getting 7 or 8 in.

Taking the day off,  yesterday the blister that I rubbed last saturday, the top layer of skin that was starting to get tough all ripped off and now its just the raw skin. It was just too tender! Not good timing, feeling a little (ok alot) of anxiety over it, i hope it heals fast. My foot feels a little swollen and sore. Thinking it was from running funny after I felt the skin tear off. This is so stupid!!!!

Wow I am getting alot more taper this week than I thought, wont complain about that though. Was supposed to meet bull to run but he showed up a half hour early (who does that, shows up too early:) So I had some friends that were running 6 mi so I hurried down and they were just about to leave so i was able to run some easy miles and then added on 2 more. My foot was still tender, been experimenting with different bandages. I think I bought 30 dollars were of every kind of bandaid and bandage there is. Tomorrow I will try to add on more than I thought after swiss days. Dont even know what to expect on time tomorrow, I have NEVER ran a 5k!! I hope to be high 18 or low 19.  I cant believe a week from today I will be getting ready to go pick up my number at the Expo!!! Started to get butterflies yesterday!

Wow a 5k is tougher than I thought! I think I like the longer distances better. Met Dustin and some others for a warmup, ran the course. Very very flat, very honest! Saw Erica at the start and she is speedy speedy so I knew my shot of 1st was out the window.

1. 6:14 (had a hard time getting my breathing in sync)

2. 6:15 (feeling better here and in a groove)

3. 6:26 (ughhh seriousley thought i was going to throwup here, get passed by cross country girl, try so hard to stick with her but cant)

.1 55 sec  (6:42 pace) I didnt realize how much I slowed down here, that hurt my time alot!

Overall felt decent and my race that matters is next week so today was some good speedwork, polishing.  Chatted with a lot of people after the race, that was so much fun. Tons of girls in my ward ran and their kids so that was fun to see them all and we even a got a ward picture. Talked for awhile to Erica and her husband after the race, she is so awesome and fun to talk to and gave me some good advice for SG (she ran 2:54 last year). Very very nice people. Ran a cool down with Bull back on the course. Had a great time today! So excited for next week, I can hardly wait and my foot felt good today, could not feel the blister on the race but after it was a little sore, will be just fine by marathon day. Now off to my massage with April, whoo hooo! Hopefully I will make it easier for her today since I have had no issues with my hamstrings, quads, or calves lately (knock on wood!)

Ice bath 15 min (didnt feel cold enough though)
