I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Beautiful day! 

Laps- 2:44, 2:26,1:36,1:46,2:11,2:05,2:20

Oh wait, those were our uphill CAR laps ;)

1:21:55, ave 11:36, best 8:08  We walked some before and some after.

Laps- 10:11,9:35,10:17,9:59,16:36(.34),10:18,11:02

There were very cute cows out today in the canyon.  There was this stern looking bull who we avoided as best we could.  I used Kim as a human shield in case he charged!

I am fully addicted to running DOWN the canyon!  I was afraid that I'd be sore after yesterdays speedy sprint, but my legs are OK.  They really didn't like the second half, they started to cramp up and get a bit tight.  I'll just keep moving today and they should be fine!

Well I am off to the temple and then to my brothers to swim and BBQ! Have a GREAT day and keep it cool! ;)

Glad you had a nice downhill run. Try some extra gatorade on some of those runs to see if the extra electrolytes help when the quads are trashed.

Ok- seriously- I am having major electrolyte problems. Will gatorade help? Is there anything else?

From tarzan on Sun, Jul 06, 2008 at 14:45:10

I would first try gatorade or powerade - starting about one hour in. I actually like gatorade endurance formula - you can usually find it in powder formula at running stores.

Another thing to try are S Caps or E Caps - with electrolytes and salt in them. There are several brands and you can take them with water.

YAHOO! I love running down the canyon too!!!! Please tell me when the Foxes are having another down hill 5k, I will rearrange me life and sign up, I will make you and Kim look good! I would be happy with 3rd place, if there were just the 3 of us, if Maurine came, I would be happy with 4th place!!! I could brag to all my non running friends that I placed 4th over all and 1st place in my age group!!!!

I am waiting for you to post your goals and see what your focus is this week. I am addicted to reading your blog and following your progress, you go!!!!
