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 Some say
that sledding is fun. Some say that sledding is dangerous and only for
the fools of the world. I say that I am an idiot and sledding is
fun... if you don't get hurt! I took my first run, in probably 20
years, down a road that is closed in the winter due to its steep
slope. The locals of Woodland Hills use it for sledding, I'd say
ultimate sledding. I was on Ben's little blue saucer. Well, I immediately
ended up sledding backwards. About half way down the hill, on one side,
there is a HUGE jump. I hit the jump pretty square on, getting some
serious air landing pretty flat with a little accent on my left sits
bone... OUCH! The teenagers just below the jump looked at me in awe,
probably wondering if I was going to burst into tears. I just gave
them a thumbs up, they cheered and I went the rest of the way down. At
the bottom, there is a little snow ridge, made for stopping, that I
just plowed through onto the road below, STILL BACKWARDS! Even though
I was on the asphalt, I was still moving FAST. The only thing I could
think of to do to stop, was to just flatten myself out. This
eventually stopped me, but my coat is pretty trashed. I am very glad I
had on a fur lined suede coat, or I'd have some good road rash. Oh the
joys of a family outing :) I am feeling OK right now, except it really
hurts to sit, or stand, or bend. I can't wait to see what tomorrow
brings :) Life is good! Oh, and I did do more sledding runs. My
husband watched my whole first run and was pretty sure I was finished
for the day after the jump, but no not me! I need to learn how to ski! |

| | 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.

| | 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?? xoxox

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

| | 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. |

| | 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.

| | 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. |

| | 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 :) |
