Paula's running blog

I got up to go running yesterday and there was snow on the ground and the roads were all snow covered so I was lazy and went back to bed. So today I was determined to go. I got up and headed out to get at least 4 miles and it felt good and I was making good enough time that I kept going and got 6.  Now its off to the dentist with my boys who if you can believe it have been counting down the days til they got to go get their teeth cleaned. Definitely strange children!

Have a great day!!

I did it! It has been so hard to get myself out and doing my runs without Jody to get me going. She is going to try to do a light run tomorrow with me. YEAH!!! She has no idea how excited I am to have her back going in the morning with me. My husband gets home at 3 a.m. and he would come in and say it had rained or it was cold and I would decide ok no run in the morning. Just no follow through. Anyway I got out this evening and had a wonderful run. It felt so good and I have missed it. It was one of those runs that I could have just kept going forever and enjoyed it.

My alarm went off this morning and I got up and turned it off and started to get back in bed before my brain finally kicked in and I remembered that Jody was going with me running this morning. No excuses to go back to bed. It was great to get back with Jody out in the morning. We kept it slow and enjoyed catching up with each other and all that has been going on. Im hoping that I will get back out tonight and do a few more miles. But if not oh well.

Have a great day! It's FRIDAY!!!!!

We went out and headed east this morning and the sun rise was so beautiful. It was nice to watch the sun come up as we ran. It felt good to get out his morning again with Jody. Then I came home and had to take Michela to her softball games she had 2 of them back to back so 4 hours later I am now getting warm and cleaning up the house. '

Have a fabulous weekend!!

Went with my daughter up to the library She road her bike and I ran. Not much but something. Hopefully I will do better tomorrow.

I have had no follow through on my getting up in the morning and running. I need Jody waiting at the corner for me to get me up. I feel so sluggish when I dont get out and do it also You would think that I would just follow through, but Jody is back home tonight so hopefully that means she is on for running in the morning. I was going to run the half marathon next week but I have decided to just do the 5k instead. I think with my lack of miles these last few weeks that I would have to kill myself to finish with a halfway good time. so I am just going to go and have fun.

Have a great day!

We finally got out and got in a run this morning. It is still to cold in the mornings. I have finally decided that spring is never going to come. It felt good until the last mile. I got an awful side ache that I could not breath through.

Have a great day!!

Went out with Jody and did 3 miles then I added on a couple miles. It felt really good today. I actually woke up and was able to get into the run first thing off today.

Yeah It's Friday!!Go do something fun!

Up and running a little later than normal but unfortunately that means I stayed up way to late and waking was still hard. We had a little wind whenever we went south but other than that nothing very eventful happened.  When I got home my family went out riding quads for the day and we just got home.We had a great time and time away with just the family was muchly needed.

Have a great weekend!!

We got out and did our 5 miles with no falls, bumps, and especially no cars trying to run us down.  There was a little wind which I could have done without but otherwise it was a great run. I think I have a cold coming on, I've been pumping airborne in me to hopefully fight it off and so far it hasn't got any worse, hopefully I can be 100% in a day or so.

Have  a great week!!

I had an awful nights sleep and woke up to wind so I did the unforgivable and called Jody and bailed on her. At the time I told myself I would get my run in later today, but the wind is getting worse and life has happened. Anyway sorry Jody. Hopefully tomorrow brings no wind and a good run!

Wow it has been a hard week to get out and get runs in anyway my cold seems to be better and Jody is back in town so we went on a easy run today. It was nice to get out and active again. My computer has been tucked in a corner all day under a quilt i was tying so I got it done and finally got to my computer to record my run.

Have a great day!  Its almost Friday YEAH!!!

Got out for my run today and headed south (into the wind) for a mile and a half.It was hard to get going but once I got turned it was much better. I was glad I got 6 miles at every spot I could turn I almost did it. My calf is kind of stiff today hopefully it will loosen up before tomorrow. I went down yesterday and got my race packet and changed from the half marathon to the 5k. I'm afraid I haven't got myself ready for a half right now so maybe later in the year.

I did the salt lake 5k today and I felt really good but there were so many people that the first mile was so crowded I didn't feel that I could really make great time after that I really got going and it was overall a great run.  The weather was ideal for it and they had great treats at the end. .  Hopefully all of you that did the half and full marathon had a great time and got some great PR's. This was a PR for me by 23 seconds. I was hoping for under 25 but maybe next time.

Have a great weekend.

Todays run was really good other than it was 34 degrees which is great if it is February but not April. Anyway my hamstring is sore today. Im not sure if I pulled it on Saturday or what. Luckily its not to bad I was able to work through it and by the end of our run it was a lot looser. Now I am stretching it so hopefully it will not act up again tomorrow.

Anyway it was a great start to the week.

We ran with one of our nieghbors today, she is just getting back into running. So it was nice to have her join us for the first half. Then me and Jody did the sasme 2.5 again. We were not pushing it today for speed but got the miles and were able to visit. All  in all it was good to get out.

Great day to you all!!

We went out with our nieghbor again today for the first half and then me and Jody added the other 2.5 miles. It was raining just lightly when we left but by the time we got home I was soaked.  All in all it was a good slow run.

Have a great day!!

We went out this morning before my daughters soft ball game and did the Harmons block It felt great and I felt like we made really good time.  The last Mile and a half I had a awful side ache that I couldn't make go away but other than that it was a great run. Hope all of you with injuries are getting better. Jody is doing great she is going to leave me in her dust again any time now.

Have a great weekend!

Jolynn joined this morning for the first 2.5 miles and then me and Jody went an additional 4.5. I was tired this morning and felt like I was dragging. Maybe if I would get to bed earlier it would probably benefit me tons.  Yesterday we were given a puppy and I had forgot how much babysitting they take.  I couldn't just jump out of bed and go. I had to take her out to go potty and then clean up the mess she made when she came in and went potty. She hasn't quite got the idea yet.  So watch your front porches I may be giving her away if it becomes too much.  Other than my children would probably beat me for it.

Have a great day!!

I gave blood yesterday and that always means the next day I have little energy. However my little energy was even worse today. I couldn't get into it at all. So I was greatful to get what I got. Day off tomorrow and back at it on Thursday. Hopefully with more energy!
