Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

What a GLORIOUS run!  I warmed up on the treadmill walking, then stretched and then headed out.  It was SO nice out.  I was really naughty and ran 4 miles.  My knee was fine until the end o mile 3.  It got really mad at me, so I stopped and stretched my hips really well.  The knee behaved for the next half mile with a little squawking at 3.5 miles.  I stretched again and ran home and stretched some more.

Happy New Year!!!

*** Adventures in sledding with Michelle & Luz

1/2 mile warm up, stretch.  3+ miles on the treadmill. Stretch, roll, abs, stretch.  No knee pain at all.  I am going to do at least three miles a day next week, so long as there is no pain.

My bum is still sore today, but not worse than last night.  I can't sit on a hard surface well, but the sofa is okee dokee. 

I must purge my house of all of the holiday crap.  Tomorrow is going to be far better than today, after all it has no mistakes in it yet ;D  I am very pooped out.  I don't do well with company at my house.  I really would like to have another day after tomorrow with nobody coming over.  I love my family and I love to have them over, but I can feel that I really need a day to just lounge around and now worry about anybody.  I've had migraines straight since Wednesday :(

11:07 ave, Laps-10:41, 11:15, 10:55, 11:37

Stretched, ran, stretched, shower.  At about 3.5 miles, my knee was a bit squawkie but never got mad enough for me to stop and stretch :)  I was supposed to do only 3 but just felt like doing 4, so I did :p

I ran to Walmart and back.  Oh, I did switch sides of the road when my knee got upset.  I think that it might be a piece in this puzzle.  I am going to run the opposite tomorrow and see what happens.

stretch, 2 miles treadmill, stretch, abs.

No knee pain, but the treadmill was so boring I just couldn't go on ;D

1/4 mile walk.  stretch. 4 mile run outside.  Needed gloves.  Knee squawked a bit at the end , but not bad at all.  I nearly did 5 miles but stopped myself.  Stretched.

I warmed up on the treadmill for .25 miles.  Stretched really well.  Ran 4.16. stretched. Scraped.

My knee seems to be just fine.  I have decided that the road camber makes a big difference.  I have also decided that running is the sport of the Gods.  I love it.  I love it. I love it!  Would you please bookmark this page to remind me this the day before my 20 miler late this summer??

Michelle and I went to the temple then I rode my bike while she ran.  Next, David and I went to lunch and then to the temple too.  Next, sandwiches, treadmill and stretching all while watching Friday night TV ;)

3 miles at abt 11:30 pace.  No knee pain :D

1/4 mile warm up on the treadmill.  stretch.  4 mile run ave10:42 Laps-11:29,10:34, 10:23, 10:22.  Stretch

The run felt AMAZING!  I am in love with being outside.  The valley to the south west of pasyon was indescribable!  It was laced with pink, blue and gray clouds and mountain silhouettes.  I am in awe of the beauty all around me.

Oh, I tried the pre-tape ITB wrap that Teena told me about.  It seemed to be good stuff.  Next week I will attempt 4 miles a day.  If that goes well, the next week I'll throw in a few 5's :)  Life may return to normal after all!

I warmed up on the treadmill then stretched. I ran the Onion Day's 5k route backwards from my house. I prefer it backwards. When I run it regular, it gives me an anxiety attack. I stretched at home and am now stinking up the couch blogging :)

I am thinking about doing a 5k time trial with Michelle tomorrow. I want to, to see if Painters 5k is a good idea. If there were no Painters, I would postpone a time trial until the end of the month. So, I think I should do the time trial at the the end of the month. This will give my legs all the time they need to make sure they are healed/healing. So for my run with Michelle, I will just have to torture her will the uber-Granny Marion Pace :)

Ave 11:22. Laps- 11:00, 11:09, 11:46, 11:26. Running this the race direction has forced me to skip the fact that the first mile is slightly down hill and mile 2 is a little more down hill. Very interesting. this will help me plan my race a bit better in the future :)

1/4 mile warm up on the treadmill. Stretch.  Ran with Michelle.  she pushed by 4 year old in the stroller while we ran at non-stellar granny pace, aka my pace :)  We ran too far because I forgot about the little loop to drop off my 8 year old's glasses at school.  It felt tired this morning.  I think that I really prefer the afternoon runs to the morning ones... although I prefer any with run Michelle :D

11:55, 10:47, 11:04, 11:42

If any of you are married to a VIDIOT, this is the video/song for you :)  Enjoy!  http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1329362959167995041#

My hips really squawked when I stretched today so I decided to do little miles and am going to go and stretch the tar out of my hip region this evening.  Running would probably be fine, but they were so whiny that I figure I will just cut them some slack.

I just registered for the Provo city half May 1, the memorial and Pioneer day 10ks at run13.com.  Michelle and I are signed up for both.  let's all do them and wear the colors!  RHPC forever!!!

Cleaned house to warm up :)  Stretched really good :)  I was feeling kinda naughty so I ran 5, 11:56 pace.  I had to walk backwards down a steep down hill and run in about 4"+ of snow/ice for about .1 mile.  It felt really good and maybe a smidgen of a niggle in my knee, but nothing much at all.  I am all hydrated so now I am going to stretch :)

I was lucky enough to be able to run with Luz today.  I imposed a nice slow run oh her :)  We met at her house and just popped onto the PRT for another indulgent 5 miler.  I stretched really well at Luz's home before we left and we did another stretch session at the 2.5 mark.  We stretched at Luz's home afterwords as well.  It was SO fun to be with her and chat.  I may have to impose myself on her more frequently, for her sake of course :)  It's always good for the speedy chicks to have a nice slow run for recovery and healths sake.  I am happy to offer my services :)

THANKS LUZ!  You are the BEST!  Sorry you were late to work :(  Our talk was SO good though :)

2 miles.  My whole lower half was like a whiny teenager today.  Everything was squawking and acting like a teenage who does not want to go to the family reunion.  Nobody really ended up in a full fledged temper tantrum, but I was ready to spank a few parts ;)  I thought about not running, but I felt really good about two miles, so I did it.  I don't think anything is injured, just sort of ticked that I ran so much the last few days.  they will get over it :)  I can really feel the fatigue from the last two five mile days.  

David, and my two oldest girls just got home from 3 days at youth conference at Aspen Grove.  They had a GREAT time and I am glad that they are home :)

Stretched well.  Ran 4 miles outside (45:16-12:03, 11:18, 11:33, 10:22) Stretched.

there was no discomfort running today :)  My hip was a little whiny when I first started to stretch.  I think it might be the psoas and piriformis, possible the ham attachment.  It's really deep and hard for me to touch.  Oh and my right foot was squawking at mile 3 on the ball.  Man oh man :)

1/4 mile warm up on the treadmill. 4 mile run on the dread mill (11:50 pace).  All the parts seemed to be ok today.  The right hip flexor, right ham insertion point, and right knee itb insertion points were the only buggers today.  Not too bad at all, just present.  I scraped a ton over the past few days.  I will scrape again tonight.

I pretended that i was Michelle today :)  I stretched.  Ran 3 miles.  Came home, got Kate to her ortho appointment.  ran 1 more mile while she as in the appointment.  Stretched on the sunny sidewalk out side the office. Freaked out some patients :)  Finished just as Kate was coming out :)  I am uber efficient today :)

Great run!  I got to meet my friend Jennie in Salem for a wonderful run :)  We ran one and stopped for a mini stretch.  Ran the other three and I stretched when I got home.  Jennie will be at Painters doing the 5k.

She told me today that her running partner is on a running cruise.  I want to do it next year :)  She thinks it's about 10 days and around the Bahamas :)  Sounds PERFECT!  At every port there is a 3-10 mile run planned and marked with guides.  I think I am in heaven!!!

43:54, ave 10:59 Laps- 12:02, 11:50, 10:40, 9:24

I stretched before and after.  I am going to go roll as soon as I am finished here.  There was a fair headwind for the first two miles.  Funny enough, the best tail wind was in mile 3.  Mile four was mainly orneriness with a speck of spunk :)   Maybe a bit of exhibitionism there too, there are a ton of people on the road for that mile as well.

stretch. run 4 miles on the treadmill 12mm while watching the A&E version of Pride and Prejudice.  Stretched and rolled for a while.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MICHELLE on her 5k KICK BUTT first place win!!!

stretch. ave-10:55/44:18, laps-11:24, 10:56, 10:57, 10:23 Run.  stretch.

The run felt AMAZING!!!!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints just announced a temple in Payson, Utah!!! 

BEST DAY EVER!!!

oh man, my tummy was not feeling well this morning.  It happens with my

migraines or possibly from the NINE point burrito I ate for dinner last

night.  I went anyway because I was excited I got to run 5.  I was

nauseated the whole run and at 4.5 I had to walk :)  I found a sweet

dentist at 4.75 to let me in and use their very nice bathroom.  I ran

the rest of the way home.  I ave 12:30 pace.

55:05, ave 11:01, Laps 10:52, 10:40, 11:38, 11:21, 10:33

I find it very interesting that my paces can vary so wildly and feel so different.  Yesterdays run felt much harder than today's run.  Just fascinating :)  Oh, Tuesday's run was supposed to be on Wednesday.  I flaked on tuesday.

I got to run with Kim today!  YIPEE!!!  We ran for 1:07, but we went into the kindergarten, made copies and then hiked a bit off road to see the temple site.  I am guessing that we wasted about 7 minutes, so I am counting about 60 minutes of running for an 10:42 average.  We went long, but I wanted to find the temple :)  It's going to be just about 2 miles from my house :)

2 miles on the treadmill at 5:30 am before work.  12mm.  3 miles on the treadmill at 9pm at 11:40mm.  I am trying to go slow on the treadmill for nice easy rest runs :)
