8 slow miles. Last mile was 8:49 though getting home just in time to wave goodbye to my oldest daughter as my husband drove the carpool. 

Left a little after 6am and it was 40 degrees I think. Great weather. There are few things that are more gratifying to me than running outside throughout an entire sunrise (darkness, then outline of the mountains...light and more light with pretty blue...moving into my favorite...pink and blue sky and clouds). Gorgeous!

Cross training day

JM Banish Fat Boost Metabolism-40 minute Cardio Circuit broken into 6-minute circuits. Most challenging circuit for me is #5 *jump sqauts *cross country *scissor kicks (like jump squats but you come up and scissor the legs) * skaters (recovery) and *STANDING MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS (high knees with arm punching up).  Love the jumping jacks and jumprope and the walking plank she does during the floor circuit.

20 minutes jogging on step while watching Oprah. 10 minutes at advanced level- 5 minutes at intermediate level and 5 minutes cooling down stepping not jogging. Oh my gosh, while I was stepping I heard something and looked toward my sliding glass door, which was open a little for some fresh air and a huge, ugly, brown dog was trying to get into my house! I freaked and screamed and yelled at him to get out and get away! Scared the !&*# out of me! Stupid dog! Why is it even running around in my yard? I had just let Puddy (Lysa's dog) back into his yard before I started exercising. What's up with the dog thing today?

It is so dang windy!!!

Just read this. The dream is moving farther away.

Treadmill run @ 6am. Tried Yasso 800's (marathon goal 4hrs)

Time 53:55 AP 8:59 (I think)

1 mile warm up @ 6.0

4X800's (1/2 mile) in 4 minutes so I ran around a 7.5 for 4 minutes. Jeff says that's about an 8 minute mile. (4th time tough)

Recovered @ 6.5 for 1/2 mile

Last mile I started @ 6.5 and worked my way up to 8.0 for the last bit.

Jeff and I dropped Lizzie off at the soccer field and got to Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah @9am Sat. He was trying to catch the last shuttle for the 5 mile run which was supposed to leave @ 9:15. It was raining and had been pouring down since 4 am that morning. Gray clouds all around and no let up in sight. When we arrived they told us they weren't doing the shuttle and the 5 and 10 mile race would start together @ 10am. We sat in our car for an hour waiting...I decided @ the last minute to not wear my big, awkward raincoat, Jeff kept his on. 

This was not a big race, I really have no idea how many people there were. 100? (Hey I guessed right) Jeff and I ran together for a bit but then I headed off. (He's only worked his way up to 3 miles so was hoping to finish this 5 mile race). I had on two shirts and my tights, shorts, a hat, buff band to cover ears and gloves. When we started raining I didn't even notice the rain anymore. It was just me and my music and the person ahead of me I needed to pass pretty much this whole race. I took it easy though to begin with.

We ran around a big body of water. We started on gravel, then to road and then back to gravel for a while. Got a few rocks in my shoes but left them there. Figured I'd just get more. The 5 milers turned around @ 2.5 and we ran out and around a point and turned around @ 5. When the first runner looped around I high fived him and said good job. A girl was close behind him and I high-fived her and said good job!!! I thought I recognized the 5th or 6th woman that looped me coming back and I realized who she was when I saw her again @ the end of the race.

There were water stations at mile 2.5 and 5 and ? Anyway, at 5 I drank for a minute and passed up a few girls I thought for sure would catch me again but didn't. On the way back I stayed right behind a tall guy for a while, just tried to keep pushing myself. My goal was to stay under 9 for AP every mile. I passed a few people on the way to the finish and then just gave it my all the last few miles. There was a head wind and rain the entire time of course so I feel like I did great. It was tough but I just pushed as hard as I could at the end. Jeff was there cheering my in!

They gave us chocolate milk, mini muffins and fruit cups. They also gave us a card with our official time and place. When I was getting my card I saw this girl again I thought I recognized and realized I've read her blog on marathon mommies. I read about her race @ Ogden marathon last year where she qualified for Boston. She had a lot of pictures and I've read this blog entry several times because she tells in detail about what she did that helped her qualify. She inspired me to try and qualify. I told her so. Anyway... good race!
