I went alone, without music. Perfect weather. I just love getting outside in the morning.

It was a slow, tough run. I felt pretty crappy the entire run. BUT I'm still grateful I got up and ran 6 miles outside!

I saw Lysa and Erin at the top of Newcastle and that was awesome!

9's and 10's. Up and down hills. Last 5 miles were 9:45, 9:48, 9:46,9:09, 9:06.

Tried to fast finish.

Thinking about Ogden marathon today. Thinking about last years run and those running it today.

Might do yoga later. I'll add it if I do.

Up at 5:45 and ran with Ashley. Needed to get the long run in today. It was perfect weather!!!

30 minutes plus of upper body (weights) and ab workout. I did it while watching disney so my daughter would be entertained. I did a minute of each which felt longer than what Jackie does. Ouch! So one minute on each set of 3 and then back again for 30 sec on each. 3 sets of 3 different upper body and then 3 sets of 3 different ab exercises.

Now to lunch with the sisters!

Woo! shorts and short sleeves! It's hot! I went for the torture run up Falcon Way. So 3 up and 3 down basically. That way the sun is at my back at least. Awesome weather really. not too hot between 6:30-7:30. Fun May weather. My 2 yr old played in the sprinklers basically all day yesterday. With friends in the morn and sisters in the pm.

I drove my car to get fixed and walked about 1.3 miles home. Guess I'll walk back when it's ready. Unless Lysa will run me down:)

The base of my left pinky toe is purple cause I kicked the table leg last night. It hurt a little while running this morn. Hopefully it's nothing. Ugh. It's always hard to get up on a Monday morn after vacation but I did. Felt slow and sluggish after eating too much crap this weekend (but we had a blast)!

I ran around both parks twice. Lots of hills. I wore my Ogden marathon shirt and shorts. I loved that marathon experience. Beautiful weather this morning.

Can't decide if I should run another marathon or concentrate on yard work. My back yard is a disaster!

Yard work for like 3 hours or something. Lawn mowing, etc. It's the etc that's kill'in me. Josie played with the neighbors grand kids in the sprinklers. She's part of the reason I haven't done yard work for so long but now she's older it might get easier. Going back out now that Josie's in bed.

7:30am run in St George with Jeff. We stayed at Las Palmas. We saw three cute little bunnies when we first left. There were beautiful flowers around too. It was already pretty hot in the sun with tank top and shorts. We ran on a trail going out but coming back was cooler. We ran around some homes and saw the golf course. We ran past the cottages where there were trees with lots of shade. The honeysuckle is in bloom down there and it smelled amazing! It's been a while since I ran with Jeff. It was nice.

Ran with Ashley. Left at 5:45am. My legs felt tired and my feet sore. would have had a 10 min pace or less if we hadn't finished up a steep switch back path. I usually finish below around the park and walk up it but we needed to get home quick. oh well.

SOOOOOO excited for the weekend!!!

First mile warm-up alone. Second mile with Lysa and Erin! So fun to see them. Ran up Newcastle with them. 3rd mile alone again, up the rest of the hill and came down home. Ran home fast.

9:56,11:04, 9:40,8:47,8:44,8:24 (mostly flat). Is that sort of progression run?

I don't know exactly what I'm doing (goal wise) and I need to figure it out.

Awesome 6am run with my awesome sister! It's amazing how fast this run went because I was deep in conversation. Thanks for listening to me talk and talk Ash! Congrats on your 7 miler! Beautiful morning! I LOVE being outside. I'm so grateful to be able to run and live in such a beautiful place. I'm so blessed.

My thoughts today to those reading... think positive and LET IT GO! Just let go of whatever you're holding on to. Stop feeling any guilt about anything. YOU are an amazing person! It's a new and beautiful day. Start fresh. Be happy. Smile when you go out and make someone's day! Life is good, beautiful and wonderful!!! don't forget. thanks Ash.

Left about 6:30 and my legs felt tired and sore from cross training this week. After mile 1 I was warmed up and after the big hill I tried to speed it up. Last mile was flat. I wore capris and long sleeves and I was HOT! It was windy too. One minute, a head wind. Next minute, tail wind. Sometimes nothing. Love running outside. It's so beautiful and green and the view of the city I had coming down was awesome!

9:33, 9:47, 10:16, 9:19, 9:15, 9:07

BK Power Yoga-52 minutes. I'm getting more flexible.

My niece and sister are injured and can't run the AF half as they planned. I am a HUGE believer in cross training to prevent injury. I know it helps. Especially core strengthening xt. And rest days. I better remind my other sister of this so I'm not running this half marathon alone.

I listened to some One Direction cause my 7th grader wanted me to buy it. I put some on my ipod. Kind of an insult to Coldplay to have that boy band on the same playlist. Actually some of the songs are fun and pretty good but some are not good.

"Shot me out of the sky. You're my Kryptonite!" aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

6:15am It was barely sprinkling rain. It was beautiful outside. Love this weather. Super busy day so this is all the running I got in.

Had to go with my first grader to school and do discovery day. I taught the kids about music. We lead music with pixie stix and I taught them some fun songs. Then made a football b-day cake for her b-day party cause that's what she wanted. Went to classic skate to do bounce and jungle zone with 10 first graders, a preschooler and my 2 yr old. Now I remember why we don't have big friend parties every year:) Came home and had to decorate the kitchen and wrap family presents for her actual birthday tomorrow!

Went to Save the Day 5k for Gage Thompson this morning at Murray Park! It was so fun. We took the whole family. My two oldest were at the water station and I pushed my 2 yr old in a jogger. My 7 and 10 yr old ran with my husband. My kids looked so cute in those cute t-shirts! It was a fun and beautiful place to run. Cami (7) started out with Sydney (10) but slowed way down and Jeff stayed with her till I caught up to them. I stayed in the back with the stroller and it took me a while to catch up cause there were lots of slow people and a small path. I did catch up eventually and Jeff went ahead and Cami stayed with Josie (2) and I. The second loop around we saw a duck floating down the little stream and a mommy duck with her babies that was SO cute! Cami did amazing and ran this entire 5k! I was a little bit ahead of her and I think she was scared to lose me so she just kept running, even up the big hill twice! I let Josie out a little before the finish so she could run through the balloons.

It was a great event and you did a great job LYSA! Sydney and Cami have never run a 5k and it was just great to get the family out for a good cause. Josie loved it to and Jane said it was fun to be able to see all the runners and pass out water. I haven't talked to Liz cause she's still with you as I'm writing this. Super fun morning for Super hero Gage! Yummy cookies too!

I drove Sydney to tumbling at 123rd and just past the freeway. I drove down to JRP and ran 5 miles. My music died on me( I tried to run this 5 miles fast cause my .6 and 5k time was slow with kids. I also had to get back fast to get Sydney on time. It was really cold this morning at the 5k but warmed up as the sun came out. I changed and ran in capris and short sleeves on the jrp and the temp was perfect. Love being able to run at noon in the Spring! I saw a guy with ski poles and what looked like skates that were long, like a skateboard, but not quite that long. Never seen that before.

Ran Ashley's 6 with her that she was worried about. It wasn't raining when I woke up so I called her and said "Let's go now!" Left around 7:55am. She ran over here and we ran around here and over to Flat Iron. It looked like the clouds were rolling in when we first left but it never rained and the sun even came out on my way home. I ran her home and then ran back home. Beautiful and green outside!

Left around 6:30 and I thought I saw Lysa way down the street. I ran to catch up with her and was happy to see it was her. We ran for a while and talked. SO much better than running alone. It was so WARM this morning. Crazy summer feeling day! I ran a mile and 1/2 after running Lysa home. Fun!
