| Today was the first day back to Utah from running in Cali for two weeks at 75 degree weather (Oh how I miss it). It was chilly today (28 degrees) so I bundled up and went for it! Now that I have my running head on from "Bootcamp" in Cali with my sis I acutally found a really good course that had a good stretch before stopping at any stoplights. I did 8 miles and beat my adverage pace of 9min/mile by two seconds. I finished with adverage pace of 8:58 for 8 miles! YaHoO!!! | | Comments(1) |

| Today I ran for 6 miles to work up to my 13 mile half marathon goal. Here in Utah it stays pretty dark during the morning time so when faced with a fellow runner or walker the 'ol Good morning doesn't get to many smiles back. In cali people seemed way chipper. Probably because it's not freezing cold and dark during the mornings in California. I feel like shouting "IT'S THE 6TH DAY OF THE YEAR" to people around here!!! Anywho I felt good today ran a 9:05 pace. Pushed my last mile strong. Trying hard to keep my miles under 9! | | Comments(1) |

| I DID IT! PR TODAY!!!! My goal is to get into an 8-8:30 min/mile for the Half Marathon! I ran an 8 miler at a 8:39 average pace! Took me 1hr 9min to complete. Cut off my min/mile time by 26 sec! I felt really good today. I ate pasta last night and chocolate right before bed. I know what you must be thinking but I believe it gave me the extra caffine kick to kill it. Also right before my run I had a Zipfizz energy boost. It made me feel great and I feel strong and not too tired after my run! Woot Woot!! | | Add Comment |

| Tempo Run Today: Cold outside so I went all out in the beggining and then realized I needed to slow it down to kick it in for 4miles. I felt like I expended most of my energy in the first few miles because the last miles were rough. Also I need to evaluate the course I took bc the first 3 miles is a gradual incline which killed my average pace. I felt really out of breath and low on oxygen when I kept the 8:14 ave/pace goal up that incline. Stats: Lap 1: 9:32 (warm up) Lap 2: 8:09 : ) Lap 3: 8:50 Lap 4: 8:37 Lap 5: 8:16 : ) Lap 6: 9:20 (cool down) | | Add Comment |

| So this week I've been having trouble with my achilles tendon and decided to take a rest day yesterday. I iced it and it seemed to do me some good bc I felt good enough to run a 4 at a steady 9min/mile pace. I'm back in the game and getting ready for a longer run tomorrow. Prob 8 so I don't over do it again! | | Add Comment |

| Kevin and I went 3.76mi today : ( He was doing great, I wasn't feeling it. This tendon thing is worse than I originally thought. Still made great time however! Averaged 9:12 which is better than my time for the 11 long run I was suppossed to take! I need a REST day for sure.....Does anyone else feel like Rest days are boring??? | | Comments(2) |

| So I took 3 days off and then decided to pick up and do and easy 5 miles today. The first 3 miles was great....it was the last two that killed me! My achilles tendon is so soar that now it hurts to walk up hills and stairs. I've taken the rest of this week off to heal.....Looks like a slow and steady process : ( SO BUMMED!!! | | Add Comment |

| First run after taking most of last week off. I ran with Jason. We ran 1 mile and walked 1 mile. My achilles tendon felt good for the first mile but started to get really soar again after the second...so we walked. I feel like a Marathon Runner trapped in a bubble : ( Icing it everyday and hoping and praying I can get back out there soon! | | Add Comment |
