Ran with Sue up in the trails... had a harder time then last week. I felt really wiped out after this run.

Signed up for the Ogden 1/2... I hope this is not a bad idea... My hubby signed up for the full, I do think this was a bad idea, but I can not convince him of that so, I just pray that he dosn't kill himself doing it.

It rained on and off most of the day so even though it was still pretty warm I loved running outside. Leggs were not as corroperative as I wish they would be. They just felt tight and heavy.

I ran around the city then up into the city cemitary. Tomorrow is my firends birthday, he would have been 51. I can remember when he died I ran in the cemitary all the time. Even though I think I do feel his around me more when I run the trails we used to run  together. But I stopped by for a bit of a chat then snaked through the streets of the cemitary and back to the gym.

Bill (husband) has been getting to the gym alot more then he used to. So we lifted weights for a bit. There was a guy giving free seated massages.... so I got one. I really need to get back to seeing Nate (my massage guy) more often... I really miss that!

Trail with Sue... there were a few mud puddles but nothing too bad. We used to circle down on a lower trail and so we thought it would be fun to do that again... well they are doing tons of construction down there so we got lost and were running all over trying to figure our way around... lots of fun though. I felt better today then last week, so we were a tiny bit faster :)

4 miles outside with hubby :) we were able to run and workout together. Usually we can only do part of our workouts together, but I had to work late, and he got off a bit earlier then usual... so it was great!

I just could not stay in the gym tonight so I ran the parkway again... it was beautiful! I have not seem my regulars since I have been back running on the parkway, it makes me wonder what happened to them. 

Hubby was not able to make it with me... so it was a bit lonely. I wore my garmin tonight I haven't done it too much since I have been back to running and I usually don't check my pace... just use it to know my miles. But tonight I check my pace and was pleasantly surprised. 

8:55, 9:39, 9:20, 9:20. (.53) 9:01

As always I take off faster then I should. I know that this is pretty slow for most of you speedys but for me it felt pretty good :)

Lots of ellipticaling then just a mile barefoot on the treadmill. I was having some major motivation issues today. Let's hope it passes quickly

Ran out on the parkway from the gym, it was a very nice night, but I knew I didn't have a ton of time and it seemed like I would run into people that I have not seen in a while and they would want to chat. So I felt like I was doing interval training.... run fast to make up time... then I would run into someone... talk ... run fast to make up time. All in all a pretty good run. I felt a bit more tired and achy today then I did at the start  of the week. But not too bad.

Lots of weights, and then a bit of ellipticalling... took off early from work so then I could work on dolls!! I wish I could do this more often. I'm going to try to enter then doll I'm working on in a show. That is if I get finished.

Eight miles up in the trails with Sue... this was the fastest finish time we have had since my surgery!!! Maybe my garmin was acting up... but I"m going to be happy about it anyway :)

On the treadmill tonight, I was trying to do five miles, and I did the last 1.6 in my stocking feet, but the palms of my feet were getting very tender, so I had to call it quites. I think I need to invest in some five fingers or something if I'm going to keep running on the treadmill in my stocking. My feet are even a bit tender this morning.

Slow, but not so easy run... things were a bit more achy tonight then they have been in a while. Hubby got to the gym just as I was finishing up my run so we did weights together. Pretty good work out, really nice to have hubby with me :)
