Moving Forward

Today was so slow.... man I just could not get any motion going. So I just slowed down and turtled it out. LOL I guess it's not too bad. So here is my plan, I will run in the morning before I fly out to Ohio. I don't know if I will have access to a computer so. I will keep track of my miles and times and post if I can't post while on my trip I will post when I get home. Best of luck to all those who are running St. George. 

7 miles - 1:04:18

Was able to get a few miles in before I had to head to the airport. Had a bit of some tummy trouble at the end, I was hoping to get six miles.

51/2 - miles 51:28:55

I was able to get up before the class started and get my run in. It was raining a bit, not enough to really get you wet, just a drizzle I guess. I had plotted out a 6.2 mile run but got a bit confused and ended up running a bit more.

71/2 miles 1:07:15

Not sleeping well on this trip, but when do you sleep well in a strange bed, needless to say I was in a pull out bed so it was even more difficult to sleep. I did make it on my run with no trouble found all the streets, but I had to run earlier then yesterday, luckily I had my head light. Got a bit freeked out in the dark but other then that not a bad run.

6.2 miles - 56:52

No running, but had the last day of my class. It was a wonderful workshop and I will have to post on my blog all the pictures, and hopefully the finished head. :) Didn't sleep well.

I think the stress from the classes, the lack of good sleep, and also eating food that I'm not used to made for a very difficult run. My back is hurting quite a bit and just not feeling good. Some of the artists at the class were sick so I wonder if I'm coming down with something also. I hope I get feeling better this week. When I got home, I found out that the computer at home is on the fritz. So my son in law is fixing it. I don't think it will be opperational for a week :(

5.8 miles - 53:55

Worst running day ever. To humiliating to give details.

Still did not have a great run, but it was a beautiful day!!! Got in a few more miles but I hope I will be able to do better tomorrow.

7.2 miles - 1:05:21

Slept better but still not feeling the best. I turtled through 41/2 miles, legs are very tights and heavy. I kind of set in my mind that this week is just going to be pathetic as far as good miles. I hope running will feel better next week. I have a massage scheduled for Friday after work, I hope this helps with the tightness/heavy leg feeling.

4.5 miles - 41:55:52

6 miles 54:58:48

Feeling a bit better, pretty good run. 

Had a bit of tummy trouble and had to shorten my run a bit

5 miles - 45:20:42 

Today was a pretty good run, if the rest of the week feels like this run it should be a pretty good week. I have more doll classes Thurs-Saturday so I hope I can work my runs into the schedule. The good thing is I just need to travel to West Valley. I was going to stay in SLC again with my son, but my one friend that lives in Kaysville wanted a ride, so it just seemed better that I drive back every night. It will make running a bit harder since I will have to be getting up eariler. But I'm sure I can do it.

7 miles - 1:03:45

Did 7 miles, after about 10 minutes did my first acceleration for 1 min. Felt fine, infact at that point could have kept going at that speed a bit longer. Like before there was really no method to how I do the accelerations, just pick up the pace when I feel like it, for 1 minute. By the last one I was getting pretty tired and happy that it was only one minute. Ran about 1 mile after the last one for my seven miles. Pretty good run all in all. :)

7 miles - 1:02:58

I ran the parkway tonight after work and it was so nice. I love this weather and the parkway is great... no dealing with cars. I felt pretty good the entire run, nothing hurt, no real tummy issues. Just a nice run. 

8.7 miles - 1:17:11

Early run this morning so I can get it done before my class. It was a bit tough I think because my body is used to running after work, then to turn around a run early, it just didn't want to move, but after the first mile or so it was a bit better. I'm sure tomorrow morning will be easier. 

5 miles - 45:07

Same early morning route that I did yesterday. Felt about the same also

5 miles - 45:02

Didn't get much sleep last night and when the alarm went off at 4:40 for me to be able to get a run in, I just could not do it. I hate having a big fat 0 but I also know that I needed a bit more sleep, still a bit tired from this week, but I hope next week will be better. 

Had a pretty nice run tonight. It felt pretty good, nothing hurt... no tummy trouble, so I was happy with my run.

7.3 miles 1:05:19

Had a pretty good run, got the first three miles in and had to stop for a potty break :( Then I was able to run the rest with not too much trouble. I got a bit tired with about 1/2 a mile to go. I thought I had stopped my watch, but later when I looked at it... it was still running :( so this is just a good estimate. 

8 miles - 1:11:10

Well today the alarm went off at 4:40am so I could run before work, because my daughter had a band concert tonight. I got dressed and then looked for my headlight, my streets are way to dark to run without it. I searched for so long that I realized that I would not be able to get a run in, so I ended up doing a laundry. :) When I woke my husband to get ready for work, he asked how my run was, when I told him I didn't get it in because I could not find my head light, he fessed up that he had borrowed it to get some projects done and left it out in the garage. Needless to say I had to get my run in after work, I was able to get five miles in before I had to get home, then the poor people next to me just had to put up with being next to a stinky person LOL

5 miles - 45:08

Ran the Ogden Parkway after work and it felt wonderful!! I had my first official chicking LOL About 1/4 a mile into my run I could see a guy ahead of me, he was going pretty slow so I knew I could pass him, as I got closer I kind-of felt bad, and almost didn't pass him, but I got over it LOL. There was another couple about 1 1/2 miles later, but they stopped and walk right as I got to them so I guess that is not an offical one :) Everything felt pretty good, had one potty stop and one quick streatch.

 8.7 miles - 1:14:45

Had a very rough night's sleep, can't really say what caused it. Well I guess I should say I don't know why I woke, but I know that it was my dear hubby's snoring that was making it hard to get back to sleep. I knew I had to get my run in before work, I'm doing stuff with the grandkids tonight. So even though it might have been more fun to shoot myself in the foot, I got up and did 5 miles. I hope I sleep better tonight, I'm going to try and run some trails tomorrow.

5 miles - 45:32

Ran the trails above 33nd street today. Had a bit if a hard time, legs felt a bit wobbly on the way back so I slowed down a bit, afraid I would trip and fall. 

 8.4 miles - 1:25:21

Had a pretty regular run, nothing to eventful. Felt pretty good.

 7.3 miles - 1:05:20

Today my run was pretty good. I had to stop at mile 6 for a potty break. Then my tummy really didn't like the last two miles very much, so I slowed down a bit.

8 miles - 1:12:07

Tonight was not a good run. I had too much tummy trouble :( I think it was the pringle chips that I was craving at lunch, you know the spicy green ones Yummmm I don' think my tummy likes them, also when I eat too much sugar free gum or mints my tummy seems to have trouble. I never thought I was a person that had tummy issues but lately I seem to. But I think most of it is self inflicted, if I could just eat a good diet I'm sure I would not have as much trouble.

6 miles - 54:04

Well I ran today on my lunch break, I thought I could get in 6 miles, but the path had construction on it so the last little bit was blocked. I tried to make up the miles but didn't quite do it. It was a pretty nice run, legs got a bit heavy at the end.

5.5 miles - 49:57

Today did not feel good... my right shin is hurting, I think I might be getting shin splints. I had heavy legs and crampy tummy too. I don't think I'm sick, I have been tracking this a bit and I think it is hormones ...but the shin thing is new :( Just took it slow and tried to get though the miles.
