| | This was an interesting run. Did a 1 mile warmup at 8 pace. Wanted to know what my legs could do speed wise so I ran 3 miles @ 18:45. The last mile was a 5:15. A P.R. for me! Wee. Prob not a smart run just 5 days out from the Turkey Race. Oh Well. |
| | Nothing exciting to report about this run. Just an 8pace run. Oh, except I think I am feeling my speedy run from yesterday. |
| | 4 hilly miles with husband and Doggie. These runs are slower than I like so I never time them. But it was a fun run and a beautiful day. :) |
| | Why I am doing a 3 mile run, I do not know..better than a stick in the eye I guess. Not feeling great or into it. 23:30 |
| | Wow I take lots of rest days! Ha! |

International Thanksgiving Day Run (4 Miles) 00:26:10, Place overall: 9, Place in age division: 2 | |
Turkey Run in Orem. Ran 26:10. Was super cold for me at 25 some odd degrees. I have been a softy lately, running in the warmest hours of the day. Usually around 1pm or so. Shocked my system a little. I felt a bit sick to my stomach after it, and I am not a Throw Up kind of person generally. LOL. Looking back however, I think I could have pushed a bit harder. Out of race practice, wasn't sure on how to pace. 
| |
| | Rest Day. Didn't feel like running anyhow...feel super carbohydrate bloated from eating normal people food yesterday. | |
| | Basic 8 pace. Felt I could go faster if I wanted but kept it moderate/lower effort since I plan to bump the miles up this week. |
| | Ran a little over 10 miles this afternoon @ 8:18 pace. I really tried to slow down, and make it "easy" but my legs just don't like it...it feels clunky. Or like I'm prancing in place. Hmmm. But anyhow...Was gorgeous, I wore shorts. Good thing the weather has been good since I don't own any running pants. LOL. Best win the lottery and go buy some gear. I think it odd that I am always the only one running on Sunday in Provo. | |
| | Bah! It pains me to run only 3 and to run THIS slow, but I really had to force myself to take an "easy" day. I'm always chomping at the bit, wanting to run more miles and faster. I really need to trust and stick with the program. Was about 30 degrees. These past few weeks I have been getting side stitches on even the easiest runs, because I'm struggling breathing normally in the cold. (It has been YEARS since I have even had a side stitch.) I figure I will acclimate soon enough. OH, pace was 8:40. DON'T mock me..I did it on purpose. LOL | |
| | This workout really didn't feel as Easy as I had planned. I ran 6x800meter repeats at Provo High. REALLY kicked my Butt. I think I am feeling Thursdays Race, and my long run on Sunday. Ran: 2:55, 3:03, 2:58, 2:59, 3:01, & 2:57  Felt sick to my stomach on the drive home. Stretched legs for 20 min or so..and Dug Spongebob into my arches. LOL how do I make this Spongebob picture smaller!? 
| |
| | 25:10 Easy...Listened to Moulin Rouge Soundtrack...that is my easy type music. Heh. Mega sore from Speedwork and Chest/Triceps Weight workout on Monday. Stretched for a good 20-30 minutes..it is a constant battle to keep my muscles in a healthy state!! 
I used to be a dancer...so Moulin Rouge is my Fav Movie of all time! Makes me want to dance again. Hope this link works...Go see an amazing Passionate Dance Piece!  | |
| | Fancy Treadmill run!! In my very old worn out Mizuno's. Ended up putting off the run because Super Target was way more fun at the time, the sunlight faded, temperature dropped to 20 degrees...BUT Tempo runs are pretty fun on a Mill because you can play pacing games..it really is like a game to me. Ran it in 36:21, starting at 8pace and peaking at 6:15..blah blah blah, is anyone reading this? LOL. Want to see my fancy pictures from the day? I am very weird, and yes I took these to send odd text messages to friends. I was totally TEXTING , Eating, and Driving...YES it is true.  WOW giant Picture, Burt HELP me. I really can't make it smaller. LOL.. This was a dilemma for me. WHICH glue to choose!?!? Chose Gorilla because it looked cool. 
NOW, here is a test to see if you got to the end..Free Ben and Jerry for anyone Local who sees this part:  BUT, you have to come to my house and get it CUZ I be lazy. If we have a Moulin Rouge party, everyone gets Ben and Jerrys..on me! :) Watch this MoulinRouge Video Instead, it is more gentle. | |

Some days are like this and I'm not going to paint it rosy: 10:00a.m. Drove all the way to Sandy to hit a Golds Gym and get my Shoulder Weights workout in. That is what beasts do. They make an effort to get that missed workout in. OH, for those of you who are in the dark...Utah Valley believes all gyms must be closed on Sunday. :P 1:10p.m. HAD to stretch before my run, stiff as a board. (20min leg stretch) 3p.m. Words cannot describe how hideous this run was on my body. It was like taking a baseball bat made of ice, and whacking me with it. Hands and forearms felt like they were going to shatter and crumble to the ground. Not my fav. run of the week. Cut it 3 miles short. Brutal. 1:17:27/8:46 pace Was a good girl and stretched those complaining legs again for 20 minutes.  | |
