Paula's running blog

I wish I could bottle days like today. The sun was beautiful to watch rise this morning and it is a nice clear sunny day. I felt good the whole time running. I ran 5 miles with Jody the first half mostly up hill and then down hill coming back. Then I added on a mile and a 1half which I dont usually have any desire to even think about doing.

The best part of the run was finding a huge wheel weight for Mike. He will be so impressed.

Anyway what a great start to the week. Now if only my cabinets would come in. That would be wonderful.

Have  a great day!

Another great morning to watch the sun come up. Me and Jody went up hill for a mile and a half that was so hard for me, then it was fairly level ground and I felt really good. I found a bunch more wheel weights today and put them in my back pocket so my sweats were constantly trying to fall down. Would not have been a pleasant sight. Anyway for those of you who dont know wheel weights are the weights they put on your tires to balance them but the fall off sometimes and they are made of lead. My husband reloads and melts them down to make lead bullets. So I enjoy to watch for them as I run for something to do.

After we ran I jumped in the shower and walked with my kids to school and went with my son on a field trip to Smith's grocery store to take a tour of the store. It was fun for the kids mainly because they got treats throughout the store.

Have a great day!!

Today was dreary outside and not near as nice as watching the sun come up on a nice clear day. We did an easy 3 miles and then some weight training. Now I am getting ready to go to La Caille for an AVON recognition lunch.

Have a great day!

No run today. I got up and it was rainy and windy, so I called Jody and bailed. Hopefully I will get some miles in this afternoon. If not we will be back at it tomorrow.

Have a great day!!

Got out and ran with my daughters puched 2 miles and then run walked the last mile.Glad to get some miles in.

Me and Jody kept it short because she needed to be in to work early so we went a simple 3 miles and I was grateful it was east to west because it was windy out. We are hanging our upper cabinets today. The floor got sanded yesterday and will get finished tomorrow. Then we can put in our lower cabinets on Monday. YEAH there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Have a great windy day!!

WE ran up through west ridge golf course today. The getting there is all up hill and mentally hard to survive, but we persevered and got to the turn around and stopped to enjoy the view. It is so beautiful to be able to look all across the valley and even up into the mountains. Then we headed  down hill and upped the pace a little. My dog hurt his leg and I was pulling him part of the time. Usually he has to pull me the entire run. He is recovering well after many dog treats!! All together it was a great run. But I am ready for summer. No more cold mornings and rainy cloudy afternoons.

Have a great weekend!!

My daughter left for Oakcrest this morning so I had to skip my morning run. It took all day to get it in but I finally got it at 9:00 tonight. I ran around the neighborhood and stayed close to home so the kids could get me if they needed me. I also saw lots of neighbors so I had lots of stops to visit. It felt good to get out and enjoy the slight breeze.

I went out with Jody today and braved the wind. We tried to stay out of it as much as possible so the first 1.5 miles was into it so we could hopefully be wind free the remaining miles. However the wind seemed to be all over today. I ran out of steam at about mile 4. I just couldn't get going any faster than I  was going.But other than that is was a good run.

Now its off to the shower and get the house cleaned up!

Have a good day!!

Ran  to Harmons and back and then came home and went to the Temple to do baptisms with my Young Yomen girls.

Me and Jody were going  to go running last night but she couldn't so I called a neighbor and we did 3 miles together. We did a light jog for the first half and then walked home.

We went out this morning and kept our run light and easy. It was nice to just enjoy the run and not to worry about speed. We wanted to keep it easy with the 5k tomorrow. Now I get to work on the kitchen.  We finally got all our cabinets in and the countertops. I picked up the new stove and microwave yesterday but we  haven't put them in yet. Some molding and cleanup and we will be done.

I got done doing my blog and went to post and all went down. So anyway overall it was a great run and I got a PR. YEAH for me. I am so excited for Kim and here entry into the ST George marathon. It was great to see all at the race and I am looking forward to the Murray 5k.

I had a rough night last night. I had my neices and nephew sleep over and the one had a hard time sleeping. So when my alarm went off I was greatly tempted to roll over and go back to sleep. I was watching the trees while I got my shoes on and there is no breeze at all today, the clouds look as though they are falling apart in the sky because there is nothing to move them. Anyway my first two miles were good and then the third mile kicked my butt of course that was the up hill part. After that though I felt really good and had a great run.  I just need to do some finish work on my kitchen, molding and knobs and then it is done. But as it is, it is a working kichen YEAH! 

Have a great day.

To start out with I have complained about the cold and now today it was so hot so early in the morning. Nothing with satisfy me apparently. Anyway we ran out through the westfest route and it was not the easiest for me. There was a breeze coming from the east and south that kicked my butt.

Now to the positive. As we ran east I got to enjoythe sunrising and it was so beautiful. It makes me grateful to get up so early and be able to see the day start.There were no clouds in the sky and the sun slowly crept over the mountains. Great to see and enjoy.

Hopefully I will get a good nights rest and have a good run in the morning.

We kept it light and easy today and just enjoyed the nice weather.

I did not want to get up this morning. But once I did and we got started it was a great run. I got me some new running pants yesterday and they were great. Other than they are way tighter than I am used to and I was feeling wierd in them. Oh well I'll get used to them. I love getting our run done early in the morning. Then I am ready for the day.

Go Enjoy the sunshine. It could snow tomorrow:)

Have a great day!!

Today was our light and easy run. Which I needed.I think I am geting a cold and it was nice to not need to push myself today. Not to mention it was just nice to visit with Jody. Good luck to all you runners in the wasatch back today!!

Wow it is so hot outside.  We went out for a longer run today and wanted to get 9.  Fell a little short but the heat was killing me and I was so thirsty. Glad we got what we did. I struggled to keep up with Jody the entire time. She was in turbo mode today.We did the same route twice. It has a pretty good up hill grade at mile 2 and then again at mile 6. I feel like I achieved something just for getting p the hill the second time around.

Hopefully today we are going to get out crown molding on in the kitchen today and the side panels on the cabinets.

Hope all you WBR runners are doing great and surviving the heat.

Have a great weekend!!

Last night me and my husband stayed up really late and then I couldn't fall asleep. So I overall got maybe 3 hours sleep last night and I think that is pushing it. Me and Jody met up with Walter to run this morning and I was sure I wouldn't have it in me to do anything, but I actually felt pretty good. Jody and Walter kicked it in though and I was chasing them the majority of the time however. Now its time to clean the house and go buy putty to finish of the cabinet.

Have a great day!

Thanks Jody and Walter for the run!

My computer has been on the fritz so the internet has been hit and miss, so I finally have it up and running and better hurry and get my run logged. We did harmons regular and it is mainly flat for the first mile and a half. Then there was a slight uphill that wasn't as bad as I remembered. Then on 41st there is a little uphill and it always mentally kicks my butt. I think after I get up the hill I'm done with incline and then I have 41st to go and I slowed down. The last mile and a half are down hill and Jody really kicked it in so I just tried to stay close to her. All together though I felt really good. I'm looking forward to tomorrow slow and low miles YEAH!! Then its off to scout day camp with the cub scouts.

Have  a great day!

Today was our keep it easy run day. YEAH!  It was nice to have Laurie come and run with us. Now I am off to Cub Country with the scouts and then a birthday party tonight.

Have a great day!

No run yet today. Hopefully I will get out this evening and get a run in. We will see

Have a great day!

I was going ot go running last night but I ended up with only one of my four children home with me so we made cookies and watched a movie together. It was nice to have that time together and there is always time to run later. The kids are only young once Right! Anyway today we kept it slower than usual which was a nice end to the week. I am leaving for vacation this afternoon so it was good to get up and have a nice mellow runa and get the blood flowing. My computer keeps going down each day after about 8:30 in the morning until about 8:30 at night. Comcast thinks its my modem I say someone is messing with something. So I have to hurry and do all my computer work early or wait til late. What a pain!

Anyway Have A Great Weekend!!!
