Paula's running blog

It's a new year and what a great way to start it.  We went out through the golf coarse. There was little traffic and we were able to just enjoy the beautiful sunshine. Something we usually dont see while running.  It was a good run for me I felt great the whole time I just cant quite get up to speed with Jody.  Ive decided not to worry about it though and just concentrate on making it enjoyable for me.

One day I will surprise her and leave her to catch up.  Ha ha.  One can dream!

Happy New Year!!

Today we ran up hill the first 3 and 1/2 miles. They were slow but after that it was all down hill and it seemed to fly by. I felt really good and am ready to get going on the rest of the day.

6:59

We went back and forth on if we were going to go running today after looking outside and seeing a whiteout.  But Jody persisted and got me out after the snow quit.  We ended up getting out 7 miles by zig zagging through neighborhoods and looping churches.  All in all it was a nice run.A little slippery but nice to get out in the fresh snow and enjoy above freezing weather.

Thanks Jody!

9:30-10:45

I didn't know that a road could be so icy.  There were a couple of ice skating moments where I all but ate it but we zig zagged through the neighborhood and avoided traffic. and ultimately we finished with no falls and no broken bones, which after a slippery day like today is a huge success.

Hope you all have a great week!!

7:02

Today we ran up through the golf coarse.  There was a very little wind that shouldn't have mattered but when we started up hill it was cold.  After we got to the top thuogh we were rewarded with a beautiful view of the valley.  I just wish that the sun was starting to come up so we could have seen the sunrise while up there.  I struggled to keep up with Jody but got the run done none the less.

7:08

Today we ran west and down to parkway blvd.  Its a great route to give you road access and little traffic.  Yesterday we took the day off and it felt good to get out and do our run today.  Contrary to what I tell Jody I do enjoy to get out an dget my run done in the morning.  It starts my day of right.  Not to day I dont enjoy my days when I sleep in and take the day off. You need those every once in a while.

7:04

We did it.  We went early and I slept really back so I was worried that it would be a hard run.The first mile was hard to get into and the last little bit I struggled but other than that it was pretty good.  It was nice to have it be a little warmer out and not so icy. When all the snow melts and we are back to totally dry runs we wont know what to do.

5:30-6:40

Today I got up tired and wanting to cancel on Jody, I had an awful night last night.  I also had extra kids that slept over and my 4 year old niece was up scared to sleep so needless to say it was a ruff night.  The first mile was hard and after that when I got warmed up it felt great.Jody did have to come and makesure I was still doing ok at one point however but it was good to get out and to go long.I started this running thing just wanting to get a couple miles a day, wow who would of thought, 10 miles, If you asked me if I could do this a year and a half ago I would of laughed at you. Not to mention I had no desire to do this. Now my day doesn't start until I have got my run. 

 A HOT shower is waiting for me. Then we are off to the safe kids fair. 

Have a great day.

8:30-10:18

It was COLD!!  I was so stiff yesterday from Saturday's run. So all things considered I had a pretty good run.  Now on with the day and tonight we get to start the second half of our year of bowling.  oh and for the record Jody you are just getting faster.  I am steady and true to my time. Maybe someday I will speed up too.Thanks for the run.

Have a great day!

6:58

Got out and got it done today.  I felt good the whole run so thats always great.

7:06

We ran at the kearns oval indoors so we were not so cold.  It is a nice track to run on. And with the ice and the sub arctic temperature it was probably the safest choice. 

Good to do and good to have it done!

We went over to the west valley fitness center and ran the track 11 laps to a mile.  I started out tired and hoping to get 4 miles.  After I got that I just added on one mile at a time waiting on Jody to finish.  When 7:00 rolled around I had got my 7 miles (77 laps) wow how we could walk out of the fitness center in a straight line is beyond me.  Yeah we did it.  Now I get the weekend off and hopefully warmer weather next week so we can run outside again.

Have a great weekend.

I took the weekend off which was great to be able to sleep in. But I definitely needed to get back out and running.  Our run today was cold when we left my house it was 11 degrees.  But luckily there was no wind so it really didn't feel to bad.  Overall I had a great run.

Its great to be back at it.

7:02

We went up to the olympic oval today and got out of the cold.  It was a nice relaxed run for me.  Now its to the store to get the running done that I have put off doing.

Today we ventured back outside into the cold.  It was pretty good until we got headed back . No one  understands the concept of a snow shovel.  The sidewalks were awful.  But overall it was good to get out and get the day started right.  Then I got home and found my daughter who needed to be leaving for school in 5 minutes still in bed.  We got her up and we are in hustle mode now.

Have a great day!!

I did it. I hoped for under 26 minutes so to get 25:45 was wonderful for me.  It was hard to get ready this morning.  I wasn't sure if it would be cold or hot so I just winged it and went with my jacket.  I was dressed just fine other than my toes were cold the first half.  It was fun and I am looking forward to doing the 10k in a couple weeks.  It was fun to get out with Jody and Katy and get back into doing a run.

I was able to meet Brent and Sylvia after the race. Its nice to see others out doing what I enjoy. 

Have a good weekend.

We ended up at the olympic oval again today. It was either that or get blown away.  I slept awful last night so I had no drive this morning.  I was able to hang in there and get 6 so hopefully tomorrow we can get back in the groove and start getting our 7 again.  And hopeflly we get to go outside tomorrow. 

Everyone have a great day.

We were able to get out and run outside. I was ready to be outside.  It was a little windy so  the first half was against the breeze, but it wasn't bad, just enough to make the return trip nice.  As always Jody left me in her dust. It was all in all a great run for me and great to get back up to our 7 miles.

6:55

We went up to the oval again today to avoid all the snow and blowing snow and cars trying to run us down.  The first have was hard to up the time on, but once I started challenging myself to pass others I was able to speed up a little. Still no record breakers but it felt good to get out and do it. 

I got home and had to run knids to school.   Then I got to play on the 4 wheeler and throw some snow.  Now that the walks are clean and I am frozen I am off to the shower and onto hopefully a great day!!!

It was a cold and windy morning.  As long as we didn't run south we were ok but once you started to run south it was bitter cold.  I was grateful to get out and get our run in and I am glad to be back in out of all the wind.  Now I get to get ready and go out to lunch with a friend. 

Have a great day running.

7:09

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!!

7:08

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.

time  45 minutes

It was nice to get back out and running this morning.  It was way to cold however.  Hopefully this was a good start to a great day

Have a great day!!

Time 58:00

We went out to see what we could get today. Jody is still nursing a hurt leg and so we tried to keep it simple.  At 4 miles she was feeling pretty good so we added on and she took off but I was stuck in slow mode.  It felt good today though.  Glad I got out and got it done.

Time  1:13

I went out with Jody and her knee was giving her problems so we headed back home and I forced myself to go and get a run in anyway. I was up throughout the night with my son so  I am totally ready for a long nap today.  But I feel great that I got my run done atleast.

Jody get feeling better!!!!!

We went out this morning with no real game plan.  We were just going to see how far we could go. The first little bit was hard to get into but once we got into it all was well.  Im not sure how far we went so I was just guessing today.  I was glad to see Jody being able to work through her leg issues today. It was nice to just run a slower speed and catch up with Jody.  Hopefully she doesn't tighten up because of the run. We were going to take our 4 wheelers out riding today but with the weather looking so gloomy I think we will just stick to home.  I have to get invites out for my neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt anyway.  Today is just as good as any other to get them out.

Hope al your weekends are fun!! Thanks Jody for getting me out running!!!!!

Time- 1 hour

My running partner is out of town which usually means I take the day off.  But I am going to try to stick to it all week and at least get a run in each day.  It was very nice out today and I felt great. 

Its my sons 6th birthday today so we are going to take him with us bowling tonight. I always bowl on Monday nights. He is so excited to get to go. Hopefully my day goes great from here on out.

Time 54 min.

We went out tonight since Jody was out of town this morning.  I used to run at nights and it was nice to get out again and enjo the evening.  Not to mention it was nice to have it warmer out for us.  No coat and shorts if I could have found them! 

We stayed close to home for the first three miles and kept it mild. Jody is still working on figuring out whats wrong with her knee.  It's been nice to be able to visit as we have been out.  After the 3 miles Jody went home while her knee was feeling good. And I added on some to get me 6 miles.  It felt good and I got home just when it started to rain.  By the way though Who Ordered the wind?

NO WIND, NO RAIN, NO SNOW?????

I just dont know how to run in these nice conditions.  It was a great run today other than I had a side ache but not so bad that I couldn't work with it.  I went out and did 3 miles with Jody then I added 2 miles.  Ifelt really good and tried to add a couple sprints in to the mix.  Now onto cleaning house and getting kids off to school.

Have a great Friday!!

We went out and ran the first mile but decided to walk the other 2 because Jody's leg was sore.  I had an awful attitude when we started out. But I got home with a better attitude and ready to get things done so I'm glad we got out and got some miles in.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

Today was a great run. There were a couple cars that wanted to see how close they could get to us without hitting us but other than that there were no problems.  It's always great to start the week out with a great run. Hope all your runs are good today!

This morning I was able to get out of bed easily and I got into the run from the very beginning. It's nice to enjoy the entire run, usually I start out tired and wondering what am I thinking getting up so early.  Anyway great run start hopefully to a great day. 

We went out to run this morning and it was raining and windy so we decided to go over to the fitness center. I tried to talk the cashier into giving us a buy one get one in free but he wasn't going there. Oh well worth a try, anyway we walked for about 45 minutes and then decided we would run tonight.  Well tonight can and everything got busy so we called it off and decided to just go in the morning.  My children were watching a show and I was just sitting around so I decided to go out and run anyway.  My husband is mad because I ran alone and didn't take an AK47 to defend myself with me. But I did take my pepper spray so I got half credit. Anyway it was a good run other than my MP3 player was on the fritz.

I'm going to get a good night sleep and start again tomorrow.

I could not sleep last night so I stayed up really late and then my husband who works until 2:30 am got home and woke me up and we talked for a while so needless to day I was so tired this morning, plus I ran last night. Based on all that info I had a great run. my calf was a little tight but I'm hopefully going to be able to work through that. 

Have a great day,  Hay its Friday YEAH!!!

We got to sleep in a little today before we went out and headed out to the golf course. It was a nice easy course but it felt great. my calf muscle is a little sore but hopefully they wont get worse than they are now.  We got home and I needed to jump in the shower and get ready for a neighborhood easter hunt that we do.  It went well and I was ready for a nap, so anyway several hours later I am finally getting my run logged.

Happy Easter!!

We went on a course that we havent done for a while. It has a mile of up hill that you need to get through then it's pretty  mellow. Anyway my run was good  and I felt like I made good time. Good start hopefully to a great week.

We keep it nice and easy today.  It was nice to visit some for the first half and then we put our earphones in and finished our run.  It felt so nice out this morning. There was a little dog over at the fitness center that we ran past, he had a ferocious bark, even though he was only a quarter the size of my dog. I wonder if his bark would have been so confident had they both been off of their leashes.I get to go to the symphony with my daughters class today. So its off to the shower. Anyway all together another great run.

We went to the fitness center and did the machines today.  Nothing fun for scenery but we got it done. Not sure on any miles so I cheated and copied Jody's calculating.

No run as of yet today. It was yucky out this morning so we took it off. Maybe I will get out tonight.  Who knows as for now I will run up and down the stairs doing laundry all day. That should get me something Right??

Have a great day!!!

My daughters first softball game was this morning and she had to be there 45 minutes early. so I put on my running clothes and ran around the fitness center while they warmed up. It was so cold out there today and there was a yucky wind that bite right into you. But anyway I got it done. If I have the energy I might go out and get a few more miles tonight. 

Anyway back to my daughters game even though we parents were all frozen by the time the game was over her team won 17 to 0 yeah for them.

Have a great weekend!!

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!

We went on tuesday and I had a hard run. I figured it was from giving blood. But then later in the day I came down with this cold. So now I  believe it was a combination of both. Anyway I was going to go this morning but the cold has moved into my chest and throat and I figures running out in the cold was probably going to do more damage than good. So hopefully tomorrow I will feel up to venturing out and finally getting in a run.

Ive had this awful cold so I was just hoping to complete our run today.  The first 2 miles were hard to breath. But after that things got pretty smooth for me up until the last mile. My mind and body were no longer into it. All in all I did pretty good. Now that I am home though my body is drained. I have a softball game in an hour so I am going to go power nap for 20 minutes and hopefully recharge myself.

Have a Great Weekend!!

       Yeah I feel good today. My cold is getting better and I woke up ready to go running.  I could not sleep last night, mainly because I am going to go order some cabinets for my kitchen today.  Im so excited.  So I should be tired but as of now I feel great and I will just run with the energy while I have it.

Have a great day!

I thought the cold was basically gone, but no last night I lost my voice and today I have alot of chest congestion and no voice. The run was good but I couldn't do the up hill at all.  I couldn;t catch my breath.Someday I will get over this silly cold.

Have a great day!

We had a pretty mellow run today, but the last mile kicked my butt. I cant wait until this cold goes away and I can breath normally again.

Have a great day!!

WE were all very slow today. I could not get moving fast at all today. But it was nice to get out and see the ducks running around the streets. My dog was tempted to eat them however. Jody leaves today for two weeks so hopefully I can stay active with Jolynn while she is gone.

Have a great day!

That was the hardest run I have done for a long time. My cold is making me so I cant breath very good and I could feel mysekf dragging the entire time but I just couldn't make myself go any faster. It was fun to go to all the booths after with my kids though.

I was suppose to go running with Jolynn this morning and my alarm did not go off. So Hopefully I will make up for it later in the week. She was very understanding however.

Went out finally today and ran the big block then added a little. It was a beautiful morning and I have been missing the running. I think the little time off has been great for my cold though. I am tearing up my kitchen so we can paint and get our floor done. Then put new cabinets in. But I cant figure out what to do with all the junk in my cubbards until I get new ones. Im tempted to just throw it all away and be done with it all.

Have a great day!!

Once again just a beautiful morning for a run.  I think I could really grow to enjoy this temperature all year long. No more snow!! Hopefully everyone elses run is just as enjoyable today. If you haven't got out do it and enjoy the warm weather!!

I was out very late last night an getting up early was so hard. Once I got out running though it was great. me and Jolynn ran together and it was just a relaxed run. once again the weather is beautiful.

Have a great day.

Today has been a long and busy day. I got my run in this morning and then I came home and went and hiked up to Timpanogas with my daughters class. It was way fun. But anyway it was a good run. I don't seem to be pushing myself to get the speed that I need, atleast I am getting out and getting in a run.

It has been yucky weather so I have hidden away also I have been staying up late doing my kitchen remodeling so morning comes way to early. Last week I hurt my arm and it was gradually getting worse all week so yesterday I went to the doctor and I have tendonidus.So I have this brace on my arm and was told not to do any work with that hand. Which is hard when I am sanding mud and painting.  So anyway I got my run in tonight and it was so needed, the weather was great nice and cool, and the sun was setting. what a beautiful run and I felt great. Now hopefully my run in the morning is as good.

Yeah I actually got up and went running this morning. I slept great and was wide awake this morning. It was a nice run with Jolynn but I had to get back for my niece this morning so kind of short. Who knows maybe I will add on tonight.

Have a great day!

Happy Memorial Day!

It's great to have Jody back to get my butt out the door and get my runs in. I start out cold an dby the end I am so hot. I need to figure out how to dress apparently.  Anyway my nephew is getting married today so we are off to a wedding and hopefully it is a beautiful day.

Have a great day!

We went out for a easy run today and then back to Jody's to do some toning. It was good to get a little extra work done on my muscles.

Have a great day!

Great run this morning. I have decided I need to quit looking for wheel weights for my husband because I loose speed fast. It felt great this morning and I actually enjoyed seeing Jody in the lead again. I think she is back to kicking my butt. Oh well it was great while it lasted.

Went running with Jody and Jolynn for a no pressure 3 miles. We were able to complain about softball and just enjoy the run.  I am going to sign up for Hobblecreek as soon as I get done blogging my time and I will send Heart of Holladay off today. Another  good morning.

Have a great day!

I just went to register for Hobblecreek and they are full so I guess I wont be running in it.

Wow 6 days straight of running. It felt great. I am so sad that I cant do Hobblecreek but thats ok I will train for it with Jody and see what happens later in the year. Maybe there will be another great 1/2 marathon. Anyway Have a great weekend.

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!!!

Today I got back to my runing after a great weekend of lazy and relaxation. I need to get back into the running mode. I can tell I have been out of the mode but I felt really good today just SLOW. Jody was a distant shadow that I followed the entire way. It was a nice sunrise and supper hot!! 

Anyway this was a nice start to the day.

Have a great day!!!

We went out for an easy run to the fitness center and back together. I had a hot stuffy yucky nights sleep so easy was great with me. Hopefully I can get some motivation going for the rest of the day!

Today we went easy and did a fairly flat route. My legs were tired and it was hard to get going. Tomorrow we are doing the Murray 5K Hopefully I have a little more get up and go tomorrow.

Yeah it is almost Friday!

This is one of those races that I say YEAH I AM DONE!!! I was niot into it I guess. It was really hot and I couldn't really ever kick it in. The last mile I didn't feel so well, so having said that all I was really happy with my time. It was one second slower than my PR so I will take it. But in the same I know I can do better because I feel like I went so slow. Maybe next time. Jody needed to get home so we left right shortly after we got done and before the awards and drawing.

Have a Happy 4th of July!!!

My husband and daughter are starting to ride bikes together but he got a flat tire. so he3 went and bought one tonight and put it on. After he got done I took it for a ride and ended up wandering around the neighborhood for a while. I dont know how far I went so I gave me a couple miles. I'm pretty sure it was much more than that though. That was the first time I actually enjoyed riding around and my butt was not killing me after. Anyway Me and Jody were going to run tonight but I never heard from Jody so the lazy bug kicked in and I took it easy.

Me and Jody went out a little early and I felt fine for the first couple miles then I got some pain in my kidney's that stuck around for the rest of the run. Jody was a speed demon today.

I came home and drank a bunch of water. My kidney's feel fine now so hopefully it was a one time thing.

We went on a light run today with a neighbor of ours and Laurie. It was nice to be able to visit as we went and it was a good day for my legs. They have been sore for the last few days and I couldn't figure out why but my brain finally kicked in and I remembered riding on saturday. Aparently my legs are not up to bike riding without protest yet.

Anyway back to long and pushing it tomorrow.

Have a great day!

We went for our long run today and I started feeling really good and surprisingly I felt good the entire time. We did our hard uphill route for the first 3 miles but after that it is all down hill.Today we added on some to get the 10 and we went up this little road, When looking at it from the bottom it didn't look like much but it was steeper than I was ready for. I survived and then it was all down hill and I was into it the entire time. Jody still kicked my butt, but that is all right. I wish all days were like today.

Getting started this morning kicked my butt, but after a mile I felt good and got into the groove. Didn't push it at all today just let my momentum carry me. Jody is going out of town until Wednesday. So we shall see if I get out on my own. Wish me luck!

YEAH!!! Its friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Getting up in the morning without Jody out there waiting for me is a no go so I went tonight. I got my 6 miles but i had a really bad side ache during the majority of it. Anyway hopefully I will get out again tomorrow night. Who knows.

YEAH!! two days in a row and I got my butt out of the house and ran. Mornings are still a no go but it got done. Not the best running attitude, its been too hot and hard to talk myself into going out in the heat. Anyway two more days and we are off to the mountains out of the heat to camp I can survive until then.

Ran with Jody before leaving for camping trip this weekend.

Mostly walking up here in the mountains but tried to do some jogging also. Its been nice to get away from the heat!

I went out with a neighbor and got 4 miles and then added on a couple more to get my six. I have been up in the mountains all weekend and exercise didn't happen so I was glad to get back into it.

This morning I went out with Laurie and my neighbor. The weather was beautiful this morning and I actually slept really well and was ready to go this morning. other than I hit the snooze and almost slept to late. Today I am going up mill creek canyon with the young women to do a hike and then hopefully I am all ready for the 10k tomorrow.

The race this morning was great it wasn't too hot and it started early enough that it didn't warm up along the way. I felt really good throughout the race other than I had a bad headache. we met and visited with some of the other blog people. We decided to take off before the awards which turned out good because I came home and went back to sleep for a couple hours. My head ache is now gone and I am so happy about my time. It is a PR. I shaved about 3 minutes off of my previous time for a 10k. When my chip time comes in hopefully it will be below 51 minutes. Who knows we will see.

Congratulations to all the runners today!!

Me and Jody went out and did a slow pace today to recover from yesterdays 10k and in prep for tomorrow's miles. My legs have been sore all day today and I hope that they feel much better by the morning.

Have a great weekend!

We went and met Kim this morning and headed over to the Jordan River Parkway for a 16 mile run. It was 2 and a half miles to it and then we learned that the parkway is not a easy trail to navigate. You would think that the trail was cut and dry but no sometimes you had to cut through a parkinglot and other times you needed to go one direction to stay on the path and the other direction to the parking area. None the less we found our way and kept at a 9+ minute mile. At mile 6 I knew I needed to slow down or I would never survive the entire run so I dropped back and just went slow and steady.  We turned around at mile 8 and headed back. We saw Brent and he ran with us for a mile or so. Then a little further we met Leslie and Lisa.  It was fun to meet all the people from the blog. After we left them I lost steem fast. By mile 14 I was so tired and tempted to call my husband to come and pick me up. But I persevered and got back to Kim's brothers house at a very slow pace.

I now know what if feels like to be a rubber band because that is what my legs felt like. I am so glad that I did it though and Jody and Kim get 10,000 brownie points for dragging me along and waiting and waiting  and waiting for me. I definitely need to build up my miles a little slower though. I will be sore from this I'm sure.I am so greatful that tomorrow is Sunday and NO RUN DAY!!!!

Have a great weekend!!!!!!!

We went down and did the westfest route today. we kept it slow and steady. My legs are still a little sore from our saturday run but the blisters on my toes were my biggest issue. It was a good run though all in all. I need to get in all the run that I can because next week is girls camp and i will be gone 4 days and then I go to youth conference the week after for 3 days and then its off to the bow hunt for a long weekend of camping. Anyway this will be my last full week of running and then two weeks of hit and miss.

Have a great day and stay out of the heat!!

It was a hard run to get into today. I trudged along and watched Jody zoom away. Tonight I have an AVON banquet at the Mayan that me and my daughter are going to. I've heard its pretty cool there so we shall see.

Have a great day!!

Went out with Jody today for an easy run but Jody was not feeling well so we did some walking along the way. It was nice to just take it easy today. Hopefully we will both be up for our regular run tomorrow.

Went up and did an old route today. I felt great starting out but my kidneys had issues today. I need to drink more water. Jody was back to being a speed demon today but I was just glad to get out and enjoy of the coolness of the morning. We are off to Lagoon today so I don't believe the coolness will last.

Have a great day!!

We got out and did it YEAH!! Not fast and not far but out of bed and that in itself was a huge accomplishment. Anyway today was a good recovery day and prep for a long run for tomorrow.

I am excited that Breaking Dawn comes out tonight at midnight so silly me I will be over at walmart at midnight getting a copy.

Anyway everyone have a great day!!

I was sick all weekend and had an awful headache so it was nice to feel good and get out to run. Tomorrow I'm off to girls camp for the week so I have lots of packing to do tonight.

I went out with Jody today. She is doing a long run and my legs are just not up to it yet so I ran the first half with her and then Mike came and picked me up. Over all the run felt great though. I think I could have kept going a couple more if I wouldn't of had my husband there to pick me up. Jody went on her merry way off to Bountiful. Hopefully the rest of her run was great. She seemed to be feeling really good so we shall see.

I went to girls camp this week which was a work out on its own, but oh so much fun!!

Anyway back to the running and getting all my stuff done that I let go all week.

Have a great weekend!

I felt really good today going out. I have been really good to not fall for a very long time, but I figured it out I need an audience. So I decided to fall right in front of some guy in the last mile of our run. No huge injuries to report other than a couple scraps and a very bruised ego. Anyway. I am off to youth conference tomorrow. so I will try to get a run in the morning and then nothing more until Friday when I get back

Have a great day!!

Ran with my neighbor before leaving for Youth Conference!

WOW I have been camping for so long that I have missed out on alot of running time. I am ready to get back in the swing of things. We  went out south and ran with a fun group today. They did hills and I couldn't even begin to keep up. But I felt good after taking so much time off.

We went out today for a easy run with our neighbor. I give blood this afternoon so hopefully I will have some energy to run in the morning.

I was up really late last night and ran with my neighbor this morning. We went later so I could sleep in a little later and there was a little breeze which kept it from being to hot. It was nice to get out and catch up visiting with Renee. I have been away from the computer all week and am finally getting caught up on all my emails and blogging.

Have a good day and good luck to all you Hobble Creek runners.

Me  and Jody went out today and ran with the group. We did a easy warm up 3 miles and then took off for another 6. I got new shoes yesterday and they were hurting my feet so I called it quits at 6 miles. At some point I am going to get into my groove and stop complaining about all my pain.

Anyway Jody is gone tomorrow and Thursday so I will hopefully get out with my other neighbor Renee for some miles.

Have a great day! And thanks to the  group for letting me tag along!

Today I went with my neighbor for 4 miles at a slower pace and then I added on  2.5 more at a faster pace. I felt really good today. My shoes yesterday were giving me problems but today they feel great and I actualy got a full nights sleep. WOW my body doesn't know what to do. However my knees are hurting a slight bit so I will have to watch them for the next little bit.

Today is my 15th anniversary YEAH so me and Mike are going out to lunch together.

Well Have a great day!!!

I got my kids off to school today and then went running with my neighbor. Its been nice to have it cooled off outside and be able to run a little later in the morning these last couple days. I have actually got my full nights sleep. However I do believe I am coming down with something because I haven't felt up to my usually self the last few days. Hopefully whatever it is doesn't grab hold.

Have a great day!!

Me and Jody went tonight out running and got a few miles in before bed.

Jody, Renee and I went over to the fitness center and back this morning. My knee is giving me aches to have to deal with. Hopefully it will get better now that I have my new shoes.

Have a great day!

Went out this evening with my dog and got a short run in. We were going to do a little more but my dog got spooked and took off so I came back home to check on him. I got a garmin today and have been playing with it. I will go out in the morning and put it to work see how I like it.

I put the garmin to the test today. I still need to figure out all the different features but overall it was fun to play around with. I was running during morning traffic and the cars were moving slower than I was. Unfortunately that means they all got to watch me as I was running along with them. All things considered it was a good run.

I am so not ready for cold mornings. It's too hot for a tee shirt and then it gets too hot for a jacket so you just wing it and see what happens. We went out through the fitness center and back with our neighbor and then me and Jody added on a couple miles to get our 6 . Good day run, but I am still trying to figure out my garmin.

Today apparently I had it on bike mode so my caleries and everything is all out  of wack. I'll try again tomorrow.

We went out today for a short easy run. Jody needed to be back early so we stayed close to home. I have had this cold that is making my throat all yucky. Hopefully I will get out later today for a couple more miles.

Yeah its Friday Have a great day!

Apparently I did not set my alarm the right way because my husband woke me up at 5:30 and asked me why I didn't go running with Jody at 5:15 as planned. So I threw on my clothes and went out to hopefully find her but no luck. The good news is that I did get a run in but unfortunately my dependability is going down the drain. Then of course along the way I had to stumble and fall. Not too bad I actually caught myself before to much damage was done. Other than that it really was a good run.

I went out with Jody this morning and prayed that the rain would not become a downpour. Luckily it just spit on us a little. I slept awful last night so I should sleep great tonight. I had a car try to run me  over as he pulled out of a side street. I would have swore he saw me but apparently not. Other than that all went fairly well.

I finally got a good nights sleep. Wierd dreams however anyway I got the kids off to school and then went running with my neighbor. She has been sick and we ended up walking after 2 miles. So I got 3 easy paced miles with her and then went on my own and got another 4 miles. Good start to hopefully a great day!!

Me, Jody, and Renee went for a easy run today for 3 miles. Then I added on another 2. I need to toot my own horn though, the last mile I ran in 7:36. Yes it was down hill but still that was great for me. It felt good to get up this morning and feel good I have had a cold all week and felt chilled all day. I slept great last night and I think I am starting to get over the cold I just have a little runny/stuffy nose.

Anyway everyone have a great day!

I ran up to the store to get a movie to watch while our final coat of floor finish was drying. YEAH the kitchen is basically done!!!

I went out with my neighbor Renee for 3 easy miles and then added on 3 more of my own. I was going to do 4 but my foot started hurting. Who knows one day is good and the next is yucky. Tomorrow will be better :)

Went wiht Jody today running and felt really good we took it easy and were just getting in our miles. Then mile 5 hit and my stupid foot started hurting again. Its like it gets a charlie horse and my toe is all messed up. Anyway so I took it down a notch and went from nice and easy to granny geat but my foot felt better until the last half mile or so it started aching again. Oh well I think I will try thinner socks and see where that takes me and if all else fails I will go get some new shoes. Mike might have to mangle me if he hears that though:)

Done for another day!@!

Ran a nice relaxed 3 miles with Renee today!

I went out with Jody and Renee this morning after only 3 hours sleep. I felt really good though and was actually ready to keep going today when we got done. Maybe less sleep is better for me. Who know. Great easy run with lots of social and a fun new route.

Went with my neighbor today.

I went out with my neighbor Renee through the fitness center and my dog decided he needed to go potty so we went back and cleaned that up and at about mile 3 she needed to walk so we walked the mile home. We had 2 little dogs that wanted to go home with us so we needed to hunt for their owners also.
Anyway that last mile took us about a half hour to complete!

Anyway I got home and felt like I really did not get in a good run at all and so after a half  hour of chores around the house I went back out and did 3 more miles.

I ruined it all though because me and my husband went to get shakes and french fries as soon as I got him up this morning. I am trying to feel bad but so far they tasted to good to feel bad.

I went out early with Jody and got 4 miles and then we came back and got Renee and did another 4 miles. I felt great the whole time so another great day!

Yeah I got up and got my husband and boys out the door to go duck hunting and had an hour to kill before me and Jody went running so what did I do I stubbed my toe and yep definitely broke it. Anyway running with a broken toe is definitley painful and I wouldn't suggest it. Anyway I went with Jody part of the way and then I had to bail on her and limp my way home. Hopefully by Monday it will have magically healed HA HA HA

But I ran every day this week!! You got to end on a good note!

Me and Jody went out for an easy 4 mile run today over to the fitness center and back. My toe is still very tender but I was able to put on my running shoes and get the miles in. When I got home though it was definitely aching. The stars were still out this morning and it was so dark. You would have thought it was the middle of the night. Anyway all in all it was a good easy run.

I ran with Jody and Renee over to the fitness center today and then I added on a mile when we got home.

Me and Jody went only 3 miles today. She is resting up for the marathon and I should have added on but I had no desire. Heck just getting out the door today was an achievement. It was a nice easy run though today!

No run yet today. My husband is leaving for the elk hunt and we had to run out earlier than I expected to get some last minute stuff for him so who knows hopefully tonight i will go a couple of miles.

Walked today with Jody and Renee.

Went out with Jody this morning and did a little jogging and some walking. I felt yucky last night so just getting up and out the door was a chore. I am feeling much better after our run though. I am going to go back out in a little bit with Renee and get a few more miles.

I went back out with Renee and got another 4.2 miles. Now I need to clean my house before my husband comes home from the elk hunt today and see's the mess that the house is.

Went with Jody and Renee for a easy run.

I ran 3 miles with jody and renee and then me and Jody added on 3 more miles.

I went out with Renee and Jody today. I am at a  crash and burn point in my running. I need to refocus on it and get more into it or something. I dont feel like I am getting much out of it lately and have little to no motivation to  even get out and get the runs in. Once I go I enjoy it but I haven't pushed myself for so long that I am getting bored. I guess I need to just force myself to push it now and then. Maybe after the deer hunt I cant get more into it!

Me and Jody went with Renee for 4 miles this morning and then we added on 2.7. I've decided it is so hard to pick up the pace when you are not pushing it., but we did it. Renee wants to go faster tomorrow so we will see. We went hunting this last week and my husband got a 3 point but I wasn't able to get me one. I did get a shot at one but it was 400 yrds away. And there was a lot of wind. I ended up hitting it but I just grazed it and it took off and I searched all over but couldn't find a trail. It was nice to just get out and hike around and enjoy the outdoors.

I went out with Renee today. Its so hard to know how to dress when it is this time of year. I was too hot of coarse by the time we were done. But all in all it was a nice run!
