One Step at a Time

Went to the gym.  Shot baskets for an hour.  Three pointers were going in!!!

Cycled for about 40 minutes while watching Ocean's Twelve.

Had to walk up the trail -- snow was too deep.  Had to walk down the hill.  Ice was too slippery!  The last thing I need is to be injured, even worse, to have my running partner injured!

Walked most of it because of the ice and I wasn't feeling well. :-(

Very, very, very slippery!!!  It was warm - 34.7 degrees!

After my early morning run, sometimes I go back to bed for a blessed amount of time.  Sometimes it is only 20 minutes, sometimes it is an hour.  I love this extra bit of sleep but it is so hard to get back out of bed.  I've decided to call this extra sleep my "nap time".  I know it is going to be years and years before I'll be able to have a traditional nap during the week, so this will have to suffice.

This morning's run was cold.  Running partner is still having problems with her IT band.  We have started to walk a block or so once or twice during our run.  So far, so good.

So tired this a.m.  Need more sleep and need to eat better. LOL  Maybe in the next life!

This morning was cold. 

Gotta stop taking my nap in the morning.  It makes me an hour late to work!!!

Run was good this morning.  Walked short distances twice to help with partner's IT band.  Haven't ran this far with so little pain ever!!!  Maybe we're making progress!

The cold and the dark are getting to me mentally.  I want to run in the sun.  I want to wear my skirt and a tank top.  I'm tired of wearing three layers and have my ears bundled up!!  I WANT SUNSHINE!!!

Only ran 3.88 miles, but running partner had NO pain!  Slowly but surely we will work back up to our normal distance -- just in time to run St. George again!

This was a tough race becaue I haven't trained for a 5k.  I didn't get much sleep.  Ate spaghetti at 2:00 a.m.

Rained the whole race!!  Reminded me of St. George marathon last year.

It was fun having my son with me.  He ran the 2k.  He did great!  7th overall and 1st in his age group.  I might end up w/ a permanent race partner!!  He said that he's not ready to do it again tomorrow, but maybe next week!! ;-)

This was a friendly race.  I love it.  People talked to everyone, whether they knew them or not!  Loved the plaques - they are unique.  Raffle drawing prizes were awesome.  Thanks to the guy that gave me his prize and then traded with me.

Rode 51 miles today.  My legs are jello!  I was lucky to have such a strong rider to draft behind!!!

I need more sleep!!!

It was an awesome run this morning!  I felt strong, even though I was tired and hungry!

Lame run......had too much to talk about so the pace was pathetic.  Tomorrow, Running Partner is doing all the talking!

This run was awesome!  Started out slow, but picked up a little.  Ran around the lake at Daybreak.  It was beautiful.  I love running out on the pier and pretending I'm going to run off the end!

Beautiful sunrise!!

Mosquitos or whatever they are weren't as bad as last week.

Didn't run today.  Went swimming at 10:45 p.m.  Finished at about 11:30 p.m.  Crazy hours!  It was a good workout!

I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for this race.  Provo River trail is meant to be run downhill, not up!!!  I thought I was going to die!

Good run on the way back, though. 

Whoever thought a 9:00 a.m. start time is a good idea is wrong!  Too many people on the trail.  All races should start no later than 8:00 a.m.!!!

Good run overall.  Happy w/ my time!

:-)

Lame, lame run!  My tummy hurt.  Walked about 1 mile.  Last .94 mile was at a 8:20 pace and that was good.

Gotta get to the gym tonight.  Stepped on the scale for the first time in a week and it said bad things to me!

Time:   47:27

avg:  9:21

Run was great.  Felt faster than the numbers say, but who cares?

So grateful to my running partner.  She keeps me going!!!

Felt horrible this morning.  Sinus problems.  The only reason I ran is because I knew I would feel better when I finished.  And I do, just don't feel great!

Appreciate my running partner.  Never would have run w/o her today!

Biked 26.5 miles today w/ Infinite Cycle club.  I am like the lamest cyclist, but it was awesome.  I tag along just to make all of them look better.

Is there any way to log cycling miles on here??

Biked from WJ to Copperton.  16 miles round trip.  A bit chilly.  Should have worn tights and long finger gloves, but it wasn't too miserable.  Downhill is so much fun!

Great run considering little sleep and awesome games of basketball the night before at the gym!!!  Also did 20 minutes on stairmaster, level 12 (15 min) and 13 (5 min).

Need more sleep.  Too tired.

It was so cold this morning.  22 degrees.  Otherwise, it was a good run.  A bit icy.

9:16 avg -- Not bad considering I talked the entire time.  I am so grateful for a running partner that is an awesome listener!!!

It was a bit chilly, but I dressed better than yesterday so it wasn't too bad.  26 degrees.

Tomorrow is cross-training day!!!  That is code for sleeping in!

Running partner went down cuz the snow covered up the edge of the sidewalk.  She slipped off, went down, and twisted her ankle!  Total bummer......and she thinks she is going to run tomorrow!!!

Garmin battery died 2.32 miles into.  I think we actually did four miles.  22 degrees.  Other than the ice, it was a good morning to run!
