Alright, I now I usually post and review my goals, but it will be a bit different this week. Last weeks goals changed because of my calf. I did very good at biking inplace of running. My bum adjusted ;) and it went really well. I liked it but I REALLY MISSED RUNING. I am pain free and have been for 3 days. Tomorrow I am going to run a totally flat 2.5, possibly 4 miles, depending on feel. I am going to go really slow and not push anything. My only goal is to have a very mild uneventful week of running. I really want to get all of my miles in (31), but I will modify if i feel like I may reinjure. The Mama Calm came yesterday and I am talking it :P Wish me luck.
Now for the serious stuff... The Police concert was AMAZING!!! It really was. Elvis Costello opened and rocked the joint. I danced for 3 hours. I wonder how many running miles that converts too. We didn't get home until after 1 am. (The exiting at Usana leaves something to be desierd) It is by far the BEST birthday present I have ever given my husband :D We went with my brother and his wife. Adam, my bro, and David both got the tickets for their birthdays this year. David turned 40 and Adam turned 30. We, Mandy and I, didn't find out until after we bought the tickets that THe Police was not their favorite band ;) and that neither of them liked Costello. Oh well- WE (all of us) LOVED it and the boys had a much better time than they thought they would. We were all amazed at how these guys could ROCK THE WORLD! Aside from the exit procedure, the Usana was a fantastic venue and I would go there again :D Who's going again, were game :) | | Comments(11) |

Are there any other local 1/2 marathons this fall besides the Moab Other 1/2 in October?
14.16 miles - Eveing bike ride with David - 1:23:45, best pace 3:17, ave pace 5:55, Laps-6:00, 4:53, 5:00, 6:15, 5:06, 4:58, 9:01, 4:46, 6:34, 6:39, 4:52, 5:30, 5:35, 7:28, 7:06
After an emotional morning, I was able to pull it together and get out on my bike tonight. We road out to the dump with a 3 mile divot on our way and on our way back. We ate about 1,000,000 bugs. They were in my eyes, eye lashes and eye brows, not to mention all over my face and in my hair. I think I will try this again in the morning and see if the bugs are still swarming.
My goals have been readjusted per my injury. I am going to really focus on getting my leg better and not even worry about Hobble Creek. I am hoping I will be able to run it really slowly, but I'll have to wait and see. I'll just run a "Hobbling Marion Creek" for a fake race this fall and have sweet Dr. Josse pace me for a 2:0_ time :D
I didn't think of this before, but I could have been bawling for half the day because I am going to girls camp in the morning ;D | | Comments(14) |
| | 14.01 biking miles, best pace 2:58 (20.2 miles per hour) I woke up at 4am and could not fall back asleep :( So, at 5:30, I went out for a ride :) I did the same ride as last night, only 2 bugs this time and a TON of bats under the freeway overpass. I am off to girls camp. I hope you all have a great week. | | Comments(5) |
| | We went to Teasdale to stay at our Young Womans President home there by Capitol Reef National Park. It was beautiful, the girls were DARLING and everyone had a great time. I was very good and iced my calf several times a day and scraped religiously. I even passed on a few of the very steep trails. (I did not want to do a repeat of my "I had to dance for three hours at the POLICE concert and bust myself up again" routine) We had a beautiful sunrise testimony meeting this morning on this fantastic red rock formation. The week (three days) could not have been more perfect. | | Comments(2) |

I slept in today! I am in shock! I must have been really pooped from Girls camp. I NEVER sleep late, so I went with it :) I am cleaning out all of my cupboard and pantry and hall closets today. We are all having major allergy attacks because of all of the dust hiding everywhere! Thank heavens for Zyrtec!
I wanted to ride again, yesterday and today, but my palms are still quite tender. The riding causes pretty good pain in my hands, and I am guessing because of the swelling there, my last two fingers stay numb for most of the day afterwards. I can't even do much yoga. I need to go to the bike shop and find a remedy. I wonder if my handle bars are too low?
I have had no pain in my calf since monday, and am hoping to be running again this next monday. Any pointers? The plan is slow and slower ;D | | Comments(6) |
