Slow Poke

Fun stuff!!!  It had rained this morning and it was a bit humid at the start, but not to bad.  With little to no training, I was a bit worried and kept giving myself positive affirmations to keep focused.  I ran with my friend who hadnt trained a whole bunch either so we reassured each other the whole way. 

The hill at mile 4 or wherever the biggest one is, was definately more noticable to me than last year and I was happy to get to the downhill, which we flew down.  I walked 4 times I think, and I needed it each time. 

I wanted to break 2 and am way excited about my time.  There was one or two times I didint think i was going to be able to do it.   

Another PR, by 10 minutes, WOO HOO!!!! 

1/2 hour spin bike. I wasnt going to do anything today, but at 8 pm, felt yucky and needed to sweat.  So I did. 

Didnt go running until about 9:15 and had Anna in the stroller with me.  It was warm.

The first half block my knees felt stif but quickly loostend up and felt good the rest of the way.  I have signed up for Bryce now and am going to look for another race or two to do between now and then.

Happy to be running!!!

1 hour spin bike.  Good work out.  

So today, with Anna in the stroller, we headed toward Laverkin to do the loop that I like out there.  We did it backwards for less hills because she is getting big and not as easy to push as she once was.  I had to walk and get water 3 times.  Thats the same number of times I walked during the 1/2 marathon I did this last weekend.  That makes no sense to me.  She is bigger and I just felt tired, and warm.

Kudos to every single mom that has ever trained for anything!!! It would be hard to push her everytime I went for a run and I have been blessed to have family so that I havent had to.

Anna and I slept in today so we didnt go until 10 and it was 70ish or maybe a bit warmer.  Even anna got quite warm sitting in the stroller.  

I have enjoyed the spin bike but still need to get some more miles in.  I feel better with running.  Anyway, gotta work on that.

1 hour spin bike

Out to the Laverkin stake center and then looped back around through residential and hit pah tempe on the way back.  It is the same run that killed me last week pushing anna in the stroller, but today  i didnt have her so i had enough strength to hit the hill on the way home.  I love that hill, but today it hurt.  I need to log more miles, gotta try harder. 

Good run.  Feel good. 

1 hour spin bike

I slept in for a half hour or so, so when I left it was already 70 degrees.  It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be though because I was in the shade most of the way.  

I kept a pretty slow pace.  It has been a while since I ran more than 5 (other than the half) so I wanted to make sure I had enough energy.   I felt good other than needing a bathroom break and having a few miles before I got to the park to use the bathroom there. 

Good run and hope to get some more miles ran then the last month or so, its been kinda pathetic.

1 hour spin bike

Same 7 as sunday.  Ran in Nimbus again and knee is sensitive.  Looks like I am a Saucony girl.  That sucks cuz I have 2 brand new pair of Nimbus's.  Oh well, I can use them for short runs or walking maybe.

1 hour spin bike

Ran with my dad today and we averaged 8:30's.  It is always nice to find out you can do more or better then you think you can.  We ran out to the Laverkin stake center then through the residential.  The same loop I have been doing when I have ran that way.

Always good to have company.

1 hour spin bike.  Leg hurts, BLAH!!!!!

1 hour spin bike.  I will try a run either tomorrow or sunday.  Hope all works well!!

1 hour spin bike.  Cant wait to run tomorrow.  I have been missing it.   Knee feels great and hopefully I can say the same thing tomorrow afternoon.

Finally a run!!!  Wish it was longer, but I have a problem with feeling good and doing to much, so I started again with 3.  Last week was a long week not running and happy to run today!!
