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 ;)

Mile one and two were TERRIBLE.  Mile 3 was OK.  I cried my eyes out for a quarter mile at the end of mile 3.  Mile 4 and 5 were fine :)  I was really mad for the first two miles and really happy I had gone for a run the last two.

Oh and some STUPID kids broke the windows out of my daughters car last night.  The police said that there were a ton of vandalism last night.  This happend in Spanish Fork last weekend and then the second night they slashed the tires.  We are moving all of the cars into the yard tonight.  David may prop his lazy boy in the front entry way all night with his BB gun and wait for them to return.

600 IM minus the butterfly ;)  I guess it really isn't an IM.  It felt really good to swim :)  I was surprised that it did not kill me, like it did last year on my first day.

So at one mile I decided to make this a tempo.  I was going for 10mm. The first quarter mile of mile 2 was slow and.... GOAL!!!!  WE JUST SCORED!!!!!!! USA!!!!!  ....WE JUST WON!!!!!!!!!!!! USA!!!!

I don't remember what I was saying :)  Ok-  I was still deciding what my plan was for the run in the first part of mile 2.  I am very happy that I did this run.  I have been feeling SO bad about my running.  This was not easy, mile 4 was the worst, mile 5 was the easiest.

and one more for the road.... GGGGGGGOOOOOOOOO AAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

The goal was to run this at 11mm average or better.  Goal accomplished :)  I started this run at 9:15pm.  I have never run at night before.  A cop flipped around to check me out.  He took off as soon as he could see that I was an old lady ;) 

With about two miles to go, I turfed it.  Splat!  If it haddn't been pitch black, a bunch of loitering teens, would have had a good laugh ;) I ran it off.  I have skinned hands, knees and a bump here and there.  My left hip hurts and my right calf feels like it's pulled. I don't remember hitting my teeth, but they hurt.  I did an ice bath as soon as I came in the door.  Oh well.  I'm pooped and I don't think I'll run at night again :P

***Morning after note- don't do longer runs at night.  It makes for a rough night of sleep and waking up feeling like CRAP! :p  I have a bruised knee cap.
