| | I really need Marion to rub off some of her Polly Anna attitude on me, I've been rather grumpy the past few days. I talked my hubby into power hiking with my this morning, Then I ran just a bit after I think all in all it was about 5 miles worth of stuff, not sure if I should put it in the miles though. But my shin feel OK not worse but a bit better. I didn't time our hiking/running because I knew it would be slow. I hope next week is better.

I ran on my lunch break today at work. When I ran the other day my usual path was under some construction, I had complained to one of my team members that also worksout on lunch quite often. He told me about a new path that I could run on. Most of my coworkers bike at lunch. So it was 99% trails and I enjoyed it very much. One thing got my confused... on the way out there was a tree that you had to duck under, and on my way back I never seen it so I thought I had run a different path back, when I was explaining that to my co-worker, he told me that he had run out to the tree and cut it down... so that explained why it was not there on my way back LOL. I was a bit slow today... I think because it was a windy trail with some slippery areas.

| | Had a pretty good run this morning. Left my ipod in the car so I ran without music, this is something I don't usually do, but it was rather nice in a way. Have to go, I'm having a baby shower at my house in a couple of hours. 8.37 miles - 1:12

| | Today was pretty good, I think I was a bit slower today. My shins were a bit achy, I think it's time for new shoes. They have about 490 miles on them. Good thing it's pay day this Friday. :) 7 miles - 1:03

| | Well God blessed me with many things but gracefulness is not one of them. Sometimes at work I split my time between two buildings. When I do I ride the van that drives back and forth between the buildings all day, I was getting out of the van at the end of the day... the heal of my shoe caught the step and down I went on my right knee. AHGGGG how embarrassing.!!! I wish I could say this doesn't happen often but that is not the case. So now my knee and my shins are hurting. My right shin was hurting quite a bit for the first mile, then it seemed to mellow out. At about the 41/2 mark it started hurting again, I was hoping for 6 miles but I will settle for the 5.2. I'm getting new shoes on my lunch break tomorrow and Icing my shins tonight... tomorrow at work, until they feel better :) 5.25 miles - 47:47

| | So I got a killer deal, I went to get new runners and ended up with new trail runners also...Anthony at Peak Performance in Ogden is the bomb :) If you ever need a good hook up on shoes go see him, tell him I sent you :) Well Anthony invited me to go for a run with him and some other runners tonight. Trail running at 5:00pm, yep by mile 2 it was dark. I was so nervous, I trip getting out of a van... trails at night I was certain I would end up falling off the cliffs. But nope YAHOOO I did so good. Except for the fact that I was the slowest of the group. :( But at least I came back without any major damage. What a way to break-in new trail runners :) 8 miles - 1:28

| | So I had a terrible nights sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night (about 12:30) with a terrible headache. I thought I might be dehydrated so I drank a bunch of water... then took some aleve, but still after 21/2 hour of being awake my head still hurt. I finally got to sleep a bit later, then when I woke for work, my head hurt but not to the extent it did in the night. I took off work a bit early because they were selling some excess property and I wanted a desk for my art room. Then when I got home I decided to try a run. My right shin is still a bit touchy so I thought I would do five and take it slow. It felt pretty good and I ended up doing 6 and the last mile felt better then the first!! If I had all the tech gear I would probably have done a negative split, but I can't say for sure. I don't think it's shin splints, when I had them many years ago they hurt when you pushed on your shins, Mine is not like that now, it aches but not nessicarily when you push on it, I don't know what is going on :( 6 miles - 54:03

| | So yesterday was a total bust... I was helping my husband with project at our oldest daughters house. My shin had been bugging and I wasn't sure running the roads was such a good idea.
My friend Anthony had told me they would be running Sunday so I met up with them and we ran Mueller's Canyon, this was 61/2 miles up then back down. I had a great time but... I hate so much being the slowest of the group. Aghhh!!! It sucks so much !!! I was happy that I didn't fall or have any major trouble besides being slow.

| | Tonight felt better then last night. I'm hopeful that the shin issues is slowly working itself out. Tried to push it a bit in the middle but I don't think I was much faster. 6.5 miles - 59:26

| | Well tonight was pretty good, my shin is still bugging :( I have been sleeping pretty good but last night had weird dreams that I was getting plastic surgery (nose job, something with my eyes and forehead) and then I woke up with a head ache that lasted until about 10:00am LOL I'm sure there is some deep root weird thing in my phycy that this dream means something... but it was weird. I won't be running tomorrow, I'm going to my grandson's last wrestling meet, then to the nutcracker with my mom, sisters, daughter, grandaughter and neices. (Sounds fun ??? are you jealous??) 6 miles - 55:34

| | After two days with out running I thought I would try to see if my shin felt any better. My friends had invited me to run Ben Lomond Peak (sorry for the spelling), but that would be about 41/2 hours and I just didn't think I wanted to push myself that much. So I ran the same path that I did last Thursday when I ran the trails at night. It was pretty nice. My shins didn't hurt the entire run... but started hurting when I was walking around a bit after. Hmmm wonder what is going on. I didn't time myself, but I figured I was at about 10 minute miles. 8 miles.

| | Did not want to run today, I don't know what my problem is, but I finally beat down my inner two year old that was having my inner temper tantrum about running. I though I will just go and run one mile and see how I feel... one turned into two then eventually I slogged through 5 miles. By the end I was OK with how I felt about the run... Don't know what my deal has been lately, I think I need a new mindset about my running... maybe Santa can bring me that. 5 miles - 46:10
