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 ;)

I REALLY want to run TOU, but I know that it stupid, but I REALLY want to do it!  I truly did not believe in the "Marathon Bug" but I have it!  I am sick with fever and the only cure is MORE MARATHON!!!

I'll be ok.  I think I will feel better this week when I am running again and trying to train for this Triathlon in September.  There is one in Day Break on the 19th that will fit into my race schedule better than the I Can Tri in Sandy on the 12th.  I need to put a bit more thought into the matter.  The Sandy one is in a pool.  The Day Break is open water. I have decided. I am going to do the I Can Tri in Sandy.  It is 1/2 of the swimming and less biking than Daybreaks.  The pool swim is the kicker though.  I will do this one and then next year try another, longer distance sprint.

I need to look up some training schedules for sprints.... I just did, they are boring.  I will stick with my new modified plan :) 

Monday- Run 5 mi tempo

Tuesday -3.5 mile run w/ 20 min swim

Wednesday- bike30 minutes, run 6 miles

Thursday- bike 90 minutes, run 3.5

Friday- swim 55 minutes

Saturday- long run, 10, 13, 10, 15, 10, 13...

I have also decided that I am going to do the Speedy Spaniard 10k July 24h and run the 5k at Onion Days.  I want to beat my time last year. :)

OH oh, super excited.  My running buddy Kim is going up to girls camp with me this week and so we can run up on top of the Mt Nebo Loop :)  I have always wanted to do it, but have never had another runner to go with me.  I am SO excited :)  I hope I can convince her to get up EARLY and go for a little bit of a long-ish run :)

Have a GREAT week.  Girls camp will be tons of fun.  All three of my girls are going this year.  I love girls camp!

Very tired this morning.  BEAUTIFUL morning :)  My hip was not too bad this morning.  I iced it last night, and am icing it right now.  Frozen pop corn kernels makes the best ice pack ;)

I am off to work, costco, Sun Flower Market, lunch with David and packing for Girls Camp.  Have a GREAT week.  I am not sure that I will blog again until thursday :)

Man am I out of shape!  Oh well.  I need more hours in the day.  Well, just the morning really.  I need two 6am hours.  Then I could swim at 6 and run at six.  It would help a ton ;)  On another random note, I have been sleeping REALLY well since I got home from camp.  Nothing like not sleeping two nights in a row, to make you sleep well :)

I am off to get the exact address for the start of the RHPC 1/2 marathon.  You should have an email from me later today.

Have a GREAT 4th.  Anyone running 8 miles on the Provo River trail at 6:15 tomorrow?

I decided to run up Payson Canyon and then down. It was beautiful :)  I should have taken more water.  I was looking for puddles to lap out of by the end :p
