Got in 6 miles. I thought I had stopped my watch...but after a few minutes I looked at it again and it was still running... so I will have to estimate my time. It was a pretty good run, feet got a bit achy, I think it was because I had been in high heels at work all day :)

 6 miles 56:??

Had a pretty good run... 7 miles. Felt good. I hope I ready for the Wasatch Back Relay. I running it with a team from work. Not real competitive but should be good. I have a real steep run for my last leg, I hope that I'm ready for it. I'm in the 2nd car, I'm thinking of running in the morning before I have to meet up with my team, not alot maybe just 5.

Didn't sleep well at all last night. I don't know what it was, I hope I can get a better nights sleep tonight considering I will be running the WBR Friday and Saturday so I know that I won't get much sleep then. I need to go pack all the things I will need as soon as I get my blog done. My plan for tomorrow will be to get-up and get my husband to work... run about 5 miles... meet the team at 10:30 and go up to the meeting spot. I'm runner 9. I have two pretty easy legs, then my last one is all up hill, I think it is about a 7.6% grade. Keeping my fingers crossed I make it OK. :)

Don't know quite how to post my miles... I ran with a work team for the WBR and had a pretty fun time. When you are trying to run up a hill at the end of two day with not much sleep I can't say that is was all fun. But a good group of people...no one died so it was pretty fun:)

I got up Friday morning and dropped my husband off to work. I went to the gym and ran 5 miles, then showered and meet my team to drive up to the meeting point with our truck A group. I was runner 9 my first leg was 3.1 in the very hot part of the day, at the start it didn't seem to get to me but by about 1/4 to the finish I was starting to slow and felt a bit queezie. But after a bit a some water I felt better.

Continued on Saturday

My second leg was 6.2 at about midnight. I thought this was fun... nice and cool... bit scary at times with the dark and not being to sure footed, but again I had a great team and support, was about to pass a few runners and felt real good the entire run. 

Last leg was 3.6, around the golf course and the start up the Ragnar hill. Thought I was doing pretty good... was able to slow jog and power walk... a few of the steeper parts were very painful and I did know if I could do it, but was able to jog the last few yards to pass of the my team mate and was very happy to be done with my legs. Fell asleep at 7:00 last night and did get up until 7:00am I don't think I have every slept like that. Was trying to do a bit of yard work... my muscles are not that sore... it's more that I get tired very fast. Weird feeling to expireance .
