Well I had some serious sleep issues last night. I don't really know what the problem was, just could not get to sleep, then when I did sleep is was a restless kind of sleep. Must be a bit of tamper madness LOL. So I ran a little over 6 around the neighborhood, then meet up with my running friend for another 6. You can see by the laps that it really helped me to run with her. When I was alone I just could not get myself moving! Now all the worry sets in... is this they way I will feel at the marathon? Am I going to be able to sleep better? AGHHH!! Well I'm just going to let go of this run... it is what it is... and move on :)

Well since I was asked to run the Ragnar again in a few weeks. (a man at work had a runner drop) I guess this will help with sleep deprivation training :) Oh and I get the opportunity to run the same legs I ran last year. The bottom of the big hill (Guardmans Pass). And I'm so lucky... they added 4 miles to my night run!!! Yeppy sounds like fun! (I hope you are feeling my sarcasim)

Great run! I need to go run 12 as soon as the girls get home from YW's. :) You are going to do GREAT in the Wasatch back :)

It looks like having people around you on marathon day will be great for your energy levels!

I think you'll do great next Saturday. Take a deep breath. Relax.

I'll be in touch.

Hey you got'er done on little sleep. GOOD JOB!!! You will have the adrenaline and hundreds of your running friends at Ogden. You will do GREAT! Hey, I'm doing the WBR too. Never done it before. Should be interesting, especially after running Utah Valley 6 days prior. Will someone tell me why the Ragnar people charge so much? It amounts to about $10 a mile to run that thing.

From Smooth on Sat, May 09, 2009 at 15:18:39 from 71.36.74.243

Oh, I forgot to tell ya. I ran on the Porter Rockwell Trail today and thought about you running with me on that same route 4 weeks ago. FUN TIME!

Thanks everyone, I sure hope that having the energy of people around me will do the trick.

Smooth, you are amazing!! I can't believe that you are running Ragnar 6 day after running Utah Valley! You are my hero!

Oh, I really need to run with you guys on that trail again, it was fun! What number leg are you for Ragnar?

I just got invited to run on a team for Ragnar. I definitely want to run, but I also have a big race the week before. Hopefully, I'll be up to it. You are going to do great this weekend.
