Moving Forward

Still not feeling real well. Legs were still heavy. 

But slogged thur the 7 miles in 64:50

Well today was just about a carbon copy of yesterday, but I did feel much better then yesterday. Not nearly as stiff or heavy legged. 

7 miles - 64:45 

Tonight felt better then I have felt in a couple of days. It's weird, I don't think I eat or sleep that much different, yet my running can feel so different with in just a few days. 

7 miles in 63:45 (one minute faster then yesterday) 

Had a bad nights sleep, I think I'm starting to stress a bit about my son's wedding this Friday. I'm off today and tomorrow to help with the wedding plans, so I was able to get a morning run in. Only did 6 miles and they really didn't feel to good. I hope I have a better nights sleep tonight. 

6 mile 53:45 

Had a nice run this morning, just around the neighborhood. Had to take a potty break, but then finished the last two miles feeling better. 

 7.3 miles in 1:10:15
 

Had a wonderful night at my oldest son's wedding, it was very beautiful. Got up and run 10 miles but now I'm toasted. Had a bit of a nap... not enough. 

10 Miles - 1:34:31 

Well I got in a 10K but it was not pretty. I have not been feeling 100% lately, don't know what it wrong, just tired. If I sit for too long I want to sleep, I feel like I'm having to push myself kust to get through the day. Hope I snap out of this soon. 

 6.2 - 56:46
 

I got a good nights sleep but I'm still not feeling 100%. I supposed to have my six month check with my endro. next month, but I think I will call and try to get in sooner. I'm pretty certain that my medication needs some tweeking. When I start wanting to be put in a medeval streatching machine I know that I need some adjusting.  :) 

I'm running the Wasatch Back Relay with a team here from work and I'm starting to get a bit worried. One of my legs is pretty tough. Our team is not competative, but I still don't want to hold them back. I'm thinking about maybe doing Top of Utah in September.

I ran at lunch today because I need to go to a viewing tonight. It is an out and back route, with the first and last mile on trail and old rail road tracks. So I think I did pretty good considering.

6 miles - 58:14

My work puts on a 5K run and 2 mile walk every year. We have changed the venue so today at my lunch break I ran the new course with one of my work running friends. I was hoping she would bring her garmin and we could plot the course exactly, but we just estimated where we needed to start and end. I think it was more like 3 1/2 instead of 3.1 (I guess we will need to run it again) She is a slower runner then me (if you can imagine that) so it was just a nice easy run.

3.5 in 36:27

I will get some more miles in and post the total after work.

So I ran 4 more miles after work. I think I could have done more, but I had some tummy trouble so I guess it was time to stop. Boy we were sure slow at lunch LOL.

4 miles in 36:39

Total miles 7.5

Total time 1:12:66 ?? I think I have bad math

Ran 2 miles... had to stop to find a potty. Ran 4 miles... had to stop to find a potty... Wanted to do at least one more but... the potty thing was getting troublesome.

6 miles - 55:44 

Well I went and had all the knots massaged out of me... it felt so good :) I didn't get to run at lunch today so I had to do it after my massage. I just went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. I made it almost 4 miles before I had to take a potty break. Then got in another three. Felt pretty good. 

7 miles - 1:05:00

Got in a little over 10 miles this morning. My legs felt heavy for the first while then I felt better. Had to walk a few of the hills and then about 1/4 to the end had to walk because I needed a potty. (been a bad week for this... hope next week is better)

10.3 miles - 1:31:05 

Today felt pretty good. I ran 5 miles then I had to stop for a potty break.AHHH this is getting more and more irritating. But I ran 3 more after that. 

 8 miles -1:14:06
 

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. 

 7 miles - 1:03:41
 

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. :)

6 miles - 54:50 

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 .

I forgot to take my watch with my today... so I will have to estimate the time. 

6 miles - 56:?? 

Ran 6 miles, but it was harder then the time shows. My left anckle and my right knee were hurting. Still having some fatigue issues. I don't think I have recovered from the WBR.

6 miles - 55:30

Only got a 5.5 in tonight. Between my potty issues and having to pick-up my dear Hubby form work because we car pool I was only able to get in 5.5. I did feel a bit better then yesterday. I took some anti-inflamatory meds. at lunch time and I think that helped my ackyness. 

5.5 miles - 49:46 

So I forgot my watch today, I have to estimate my time. My run felt pretty good today nothing really hurt, but I also didn't push my self.

7 miles - 1:04? 1:05? 

Well I only got 4 miles in tonight, was getting a massage and then had to pick up my husband from work. I guess 4 is better then 0. 

4 miles - 36:04 

Today was one of those runs that makes you realizes why you love to run. And so thankful that I live so close to the mountains. I really needed a changed of scenery so I ran the trails above 22nd street in Ogden. I love these trails and today it felt great!! I was able to take some of the hills faster then I have been able to in the past. Also I think I finished my regular loop faster then I had in a while. I don't know the mileage, I just time myself and estimate the miles. I think next time I might do some longer runs up by Snow Basin.

I had a low mileage week, but I guess that's OK. I'm out on furlough from work for 4 weeks so hopefully I can get more lovely morning trail runs in. :)

9 miles - 1:25:46

Today I took my husband to work then went to the gym. I need to try to do some weights and other stuff besides running. So I ran 7.5 miles on the TM then did some weights.

 7.5 miles - 1:04:22
