Paula's running blog

We went out to get a nice long run in. We decided to loop one of our routes 3 times  which sounded great the first lap was good and the hill wasn't bad at all.  Which it used to do me in. The second lap the hill killed me. But I endured and made it up.  Once we started the third lap that we ended up changing a little to avoid ignorant drivers, I slowly lost ground with Jody. So I decided to cut up a street early.  Oops shouldn't do that she thought I must have fallen, Which I do quite frequently, and she went back to rescue me..  Anyway I chased her for a couple miles and finally we were able to get it done.  I had to add on a little to get my 13 but I did it. That was I believe my longest run to date. So who knows I may not be able to move tomorrow.  It felt great to do it however.

Have a great weekend!!

I t has snowed over the weekend so the roads were wet and slushy. The run was a fairly uneventful run, but had the potential to be back there were many icy spots. It felt good to get outside. There was a light snow falling to add to the beauty of the morning

Have a great  day!

7:00

It was cold out today. Luckily my daughter looked at the temperature this morning before I left so I could change into something warmer.  It was a good run though.  Cars were all nice to us and it was also nice to run on sidewalks that weren't covered with snow.

7:06

We went out and it was a usual run for me.  Jody was kind to me and let me set the pace which for her was slow but it was nice to feel as though she was trying to keep up the entire time. Ignorance is bliss!! Anyway it was a great start to my day.

6:59

Went out to run and it was too windy so we moved inside to the fitness center. We ran 3 miiles on the indoor track and then I finished up on the machines.  It was good to get out and get it done. I have a little sore throat and my son had strep so I hope that i am not getting it. Anyway it was probably a good think to go in out of the elements. 

Rest day tomorrow before the 10k on saturday.

Have a great day!!

I was really hoping for under 55:00. so to get this time was a great time.  I now have a base time for a 10k to try and improve.  I was dreading doing the run today because the course is so monotinious. But It was actually a very nice run. It was clearer out today so you could see all over the lake and over to Davis county which had a awful haze going on.  Anyway it was great to see so many from the blog out running and to meet so many of you. 

Sunday is a day off and we are back at it on Monday.

Have a great day!

We went out to get 8 miles today and I wasn't sure how good I would do since I couldn't sleep last night. I think I got about 3and a half hours. but to my surprise it was really a nice run.  I had forgot that the roads were as wide as they are without all the snow pushed to the sides.  Anyway we got a bonus mile and I didn't fall to far behind Jody today so what a great start to an awesome week.

Time to start cleaning out the trailer to go camping this weekend.  Yes thats right we are crazy and go camping every year for Presidents Day weekend.  Best trip of the year.

Have a great day!!

Today was a hard day to get out of bed.  I was sure I had just went to bed when my alarm went off. So mentally I had a hard time getting into it. Other than that it was fairly uneventful.

6:57

I have no excuse for myself. Other than I was having a pitty party for myself all night, because I have to go do Jury Duty today,  and I could not sleep.   Then when my husband got home he told me how windy it was outside so I bailed on Jody.  I should have went running because it is actually beautiful outside and I will feel guilty now all day.

Well hopefully all goes well at Jury Duty and back at the run tomorrow. No more bad morning. Sorry Jody!!!!

We were going to run outside this morning but it was too snowy and windy. So went over to the fitness center and did our workout.  There was hardly anyone there.But we got it done.  Hopefully all the snow melts before next week and we are able to get in some more miles.

Have a great day!!

No run today.  Jody had to work early and I have been fighting the stomach flu since yesterday. YUCK.  We are leaving to go camping in the morning and I hope my stomach can handle it.  Some people that are already out at our camping spot called and told us there is 18 inches of snow and everyone is getting stuck. So It should be interesting.On the bright side..Probably will be great sledding though.

Have a great weekend and a fun President's Day!! 

Today we got back to our running. It was a great weekend off but I was glad to start the usual routine back up.  It was nice to see Jody again and feel good the entire run.  I added on just a little to get the 8 miles. Jody has so warped me to even want to add on. Anyway now to sorting AVON and getting the house clean after vacation. You would think it would be clean since no one has been here but no I think they had a party in it while we were gone.

Have a great day!!

7:00

My husband wanted me to go running inside because of the bad air quality, but I couldn't bring myself to do that.  It actually felt really good out today. I woke up in a great mood and carried that mood through my whole run.  If all days could be like today that would be great.

Have a great day!

7:04

I was in the mental set that the snow was all gone and we were not going to have any more so when i woke up to snow my attitude went down the drain.  We just wove around the neighborhood and stayed off the main roads.  Not my best run but we got it done.

Have a great day!!

6:56

Today was the last of  the race series that we did out at the saltair.  I felt pretty good going into the day, but I wasn't looking forward to the flat monotony of the course. Once I got started running however I felt great and had a really good run.  I enjoy getting to see all the other bloggers and listening to their times. Now I will have to find another run to do.

Have a great weekend!  Hopefully the storm tomorrow wont hit very hard and the snow will stay  away!!!!

Todays run was a good run we went at a mellow pace Jody's knees were hurting her so we were close to going home but they got better and we ended up having a nice run with a little rain.  Its starting to get warmer out in the mornings so we need to re evaluate our running attire.

Have a great rainy day!!

7:06

I gave blood yesterday and whenever I do the next day I am usually lower energy.  So I was unable to really get into our run today.  My hamstrings have been sore and today was no exception.  We just had a ruff day of it, Jody is having knee problems so we ended up walking part of it and finally decided we better have a walk day tomorrow and hopefully get her knee feeling better. 

There were a couple icy spots out there today and i am just grateful that i stayed upright the entire time with minimal slipping. 

Have a great day!!

Time-1:22

Went out today with Jody at a slow pace around the neighborhood.  Here knee is still hurting a little. It was nice to get out though and get a run in anyway we can. After I left her I added on a little before I came home.  Hopefully my energy level will be higher today. Yesterday I was so tired. Maybe if I would go to bed earlier I wouldn't be so tired.

Anyway back at it tomorrow with another short run and hopefully we will be back to our normal by the end of next week.
