Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

Nice Sunday with nothing I have to do but watch conference on the TV :)  Dinner is in the crock pot, I'm out of the shower and now I just get to veggg all day :)  Does anyone know how to spell vegg...????

My legs are not sore at all today.  I ran turtle pace, so I think that could be the explanation.  I forgot my Garmin yesterday, so I had no idea of our pace.  I am still pretty proud of myself for 15 miles :)  This week is 11, then 17, 18, 12, 19, 13, 20, 12, 8, then MARATHON!!!

This week I am going to focus on including protein at every meal.  I am going to try to tweak my diet a bit for better running and weight loss results ;)  Aren't we all???

Happy Sunday to all and CONGRATULATIONS to all you amazing racers yesterday!  WOW!!

Alright, y'all know that I am supposed to cross train on Mondays, well....  I just HAD to run today.  It was 56 degrees and BEAUTIFUL!!!  The clincher was when I read that it was going to rain on Wednesday and Thursday :(  I figured that I would run today and Tuesday and then cross train on Wed & Thurs :)  Friday and Saturday are supposed to be AMAZING too :)  I love it when Spring acts like Spring :)  I wore shorts and one of my new sleeveless shirts :)  It is orange :)

Now about this WONDERFUL run on the most AMAZING day :)  Well, I think I will let the splits speak for themselves ;D  Oh and when did wind go from being the DEVIL to my very best friend??? xoxoxoxoxo

44:01, 11:00.25 ave, best 7:25, Splits- 12:13, 11:41, 10:56, 9:52

56:43, ave- 12:27, best 8:37, Laps-15:00, 11:18, 11:58, 12:11, 11:22

I was supposed to run 7 MP miles today.  I ran the fist mile and stopped to stretch.  I started the run and within 100 feet I was breathing like a steam engine.  I could not move any faster.  I tried until about 2.7 miles in and nothing.  At that point I had to decide if I would just do the 7 slower or stop at ~4 and try for the 7 on thursday.  Since there were two trucks parked in a weird spot on a secluded part of my 7 miler, I headed back home for the 4.5.  There are a few spots where I run that I am totally alone.  If I see a car that does not belong or people out of place, I turn and go the other direction.  I suppose if axe murderers were smart, they'd dress up like runners.  I am not afraid of other runners at all.  It's pretty nuts really.  I meet a bunch of people on the internet and go off to other cities and sleep in the same rooms in the same condo???  I think we are BONKERS!!! :)  I am so glad that non of you have turned out to be axe murderers ;D

Anyway- I am going to go clean out the carport and have a GREAT day!!

XOXOXOXOXO!!!

What size t-shirts should I order? I am getting bids from 3 different places to see what we can do, price wise.  I have asked Sasha if we can use "Fast Running Blog" on the shirts.  I fugure that we are all FRB runners/blogers.

It's a perfect morning for a run, but my hips are screaming YOGA!!! So, I am going to do a good hour of yoga this morning :)

Here is what I can hear coming from my room-

Mac (5)- "Can you breath?" 

Muffled Ford (8)- "Yeah," 

Mac- "Can you breath now?",

Muffled Ford- "Yeah",

Mac- "Can you breath now?" 

Muffled Ford- "Yeah"

This goes on for about 5 minutes.  I figure Ford can breath so long as I can hear his responses ;)

If there are any guys out there today, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THESE BOYS THINKING???  Boys are just plain strange!!!

Have a beautiful day!  The sunlight is SO beautiful this morning.  It's extra pretty today :)

***PM- bike ride and 50 minutes of Yoga.  By how the yoga felt, I am seriously in need of more regular yoga!  My quads were solid and immovable- great for moral character, bad for injury free running legs ;)

I need FROSTING!  Thanks a lot Kelli and Leslie!!!

1:17:03, best- 7:13, ave- 10:40(for the 6 MP) and 10:43 for the entire run), splits- 11:36, 10:53, 10:13, 10:34, 10:29, 10:41, 10:19, 12:16(.19)

I decided to take a gamble and wait until this afternoon to run and boy did it pay off!!  I was in the low 40's and raining this morning and this afternoon it was 52 and sunny when I left and 54 when I got back :)  PLUS my legs decided that they wanted to run today :)  So the 7 miler at marathon pace worked :)  I was a bit closer to my 1/2 pace, but I can live with that.  I don't seem to do well holding 11 mm.  I think actually 10:30-10:40's. Anyway- I am very happy about today's run!  I got to wear my shorts and a t-shirt :)  Yippee!!  I think summer may come :)

I am going to be ordering the Red Hot Pink Chicks T-shirts for anyone who would like one.  Please PM me with any questions ;)  Basically they are either a singlet ($14), tank($15) or t-shirt($16).  That is including the printing cost of $4 per shirt.  These, of course, can be worn for our First Annual RHCP 1/2 Marathon down Provo Canyon July 11th, but should be worn at EVERY race you run ;D  I'd like to place the order next week, so let me know ASAP.  Now, if you personally object to pink, you can choose another color that the shirts come in and be a strange and odd RHPC!  But hey, you would still belong to the coolest group of running women around!!! ;)

XOXOXOXO

2:20:39, ave- 12:46, best 8:51, Splits-12:44, 13:11, 12:52, 13:21, 12:58, 13:13, 13:14, 13:22, 11:58, 11:50, 10:45

Yesterday a bunch of CRUD came crashing down onto my head and right shoulder from a really high shelf.  It gave me a really lousy head, neck and shoulder ache all day :(  I felt better by bed time but woke up at 2am feeling pretty horrible.   Anyway, by about 5:30 I knew I had better trash the run plans and try to get some sleep.  Me and no sleep makes for a really bad several days and brain pain that never goes away!!!! (Ok -it stays around for a few days)  I slept in and lazed about and by about 2, I was feeling MUCH better and decided to try a run.  I thought I'd do a little loop to test the waters.  It was a bit too long and had to VPB behind a low wall next to a dead deer :p   Oh, did I mention, whenever my head hurts it gives me nasty tummy troubles??  Any hoo, I came home and fueled and hit the last 4 miles.  The last two were with a crappy head wind and RAIN!!  Oh, I had to yell at a STUPID driver too about a 1/2 mile from home.  He seriously was going to run me over.  I need to take plate numbers and have my cop friend scare the crap out of them!  ARG!!

My tummy and head are feeling OK at the moment.  I really want a shower, but my bathroom has been taken over by 4 teenagers doing Anna's hair for prom tonight.  I hope no one lights a match, there is so much hair spray in the air, the house would BLOW UP!!!

Happy Easter!!!  xoxoxoxoxo
