How does that song go? "One bad apple, don't spoil the whole week of runs?"
It's monday, what more needs to be said! I got really sick in the middle :( I am guessing my body wasn't very happy to be running at 5:30 am. What a WIMP!!! Kim was VERY brave and non-wimpy.

***WARNING***
The Surgeon General has issued a warning that EVEN reading about a slow run can be contagious. The following run is so SLOW that it has been given the rating "READ AT YOUR OWN RISK" it most certainly will cause psychological damage and add at least a minute to any runner who reads these splits.
That being said, have a nice day :) ...and thank you for risking your running career by reading my blog.
Time 1:04:05, ave 13:50, best pace 9:36, Laps- 18:07(.36mi), 13:36, 13:16, 13:12, 12:41, 17:31(.27mi)
The run was not great this morning. I felt old and achy. I am glad it is done. I did about 20 min of Yoga earlier this morning and I will get in some more after I water the plants. The flowers and garden are looking good, but the lawn is a bit sad :( | | Comments(10) |

2.51 walk this morning.
Will walk 2.5 with David tonight, or maybe we'll ride bikes? Who can know forsure ;)
My knees were achy yesterday and I wanted to give them a break today. I am ever so worried about injury and would rather be very safe than sorry! MUST LIVE TO RUN ANOTHER DAY!!!! | | Comments(3) |

Hello there all you AMAZING runners!
Confessions of a ~runner: I cut todays run by a mile. My knee was still a little... I don't know how to say it... a little questionable. So, I thought I'd better play it safe, and not risk any injury that might be trying to RUIN MY LIFE!!! :)
Nice run. I am noticing a trend, speedier week, NOT speedy week, and back and forth. Thats OK, right? I am in this for the long haul, and two years ago I couldn't even walk 2 miles! So here's to me. Does anyone know any good songs to celebrate my. All I come up with is , "just keep running, step in time, never quit running, step in time..."
Speaking of songs, my mp3 died after just one Scorpion song. I had to sing "step in time" for 3.6 miles. The verses got really BAD!!!
Time: 49:41, ave 13:48, best 10:05, Laps- 16:51(.25), 13:35, 12:59, 12:21, 18:37(.35) | | Comments(6) |

Just in case you didn't notice, I got a MAJOR PR today!
The Payson Canyon Fox Club had our first anual 4th of July 5K. I took either first or second place. We couldn't see straight to tell who was first and who was second :)
Time 27:56, ave pace 9:01, best pace 6:45
Laps- 8:45 This mile did not feel too bad :) Sorry, I couldn't wait for next week Josse :) I did 8:__! I am SO excited. You said I could, Josse :)
9:05 This one was alright, it did not feel this fast.
9:10 This last mile was DEATH! I wanted to quit the last 1/2 mile FORESURE!
9:24 (.11) This was a peice of cake ;) Not really, I think this could have been the hardest .11mi I have ever run :)
We did a 1/2 mile warm up and almost a 1/2 mile cool down.
WERE WE SMOKIN' OR WHAT? | | Comments(18) |

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! ;) | | Comments(4) |
