Hello again! I've missed you all
ok so this summer has been a wash out. lame I know. things just didn't work for me in the running department so I'm giving up the idea of qualifing this year, I'll just try for a respectable finish in St. George. anyway I saw steve today while I my daughter was getting new cross country shoes and got inspired to get outside and put a few miles in, AND record them on the blog! novel idea I know. just over three miles at an average 9:30 pace. I was totally sweaty and feeling gross tonight. I really don't like night runs, but i stayed up too late last night reading (breaking dawn of course) so no morning run at all. I need to get consistant again and that is all there is to it.

| | that was much better. I'm still winded and major sweaty but the run felt better than last night. I did three at an average 8:50, then walked the last bit for a cool down. The morning was sweet, not too hot and not too crowded. I stopped for a minute at two miles to run threw some sprinklers and that energized me right up.
the only down side to the whole thing was i took a good look at my yard as i came home. i've got some weeding to do...yuck

| | four today at an easy 10m/m pace. i picked it up every now and then, and finished with and 8.5 pace. this weekend is the pine valley 10K and I'm not in racer form, but it will be ok. the only thing i'm really bummed about is that it is the same day as the hurricane invitational for cross country and i will miss kiya's first race of the season! |

Pine Valley 10K (6.2 Miles) 00:58:15, Place overall: 8, Place in age division: 1 | |
What a beautiful day for a race! Pine Vally is wonderful as always, just cool enough to make me want to get moving. The race was run very well; water stops at the right places, good course directions, and yummy food at the end. I had a great morning! A couple of my friends signed up for the run too so we all rode up together. I loved seeing all the people on the side of the road training for marathon. What an inspiration! The start of the run was an gentle downhill. I had to keep reminding myself to hold back so I would have something left to get back up the hill at the end. The first half I was doing 8.5m/m. For the next bit there were some challenging uphill climbs. I haven't done hill training so combined with the elevation I ended up walking four different times. Felt like a loser, but so what. Arriving at the turnaround point put a major smile on my face. I was able to make up some time here as I let gravity take me down those nasty inclines I had just gone up. I got a big boost when I saw a friend cheering me on that I didn't even know was up there this weekend. The finish line was coming up quickly and I was used up, but I still felt I was still able to finish strong. I averaged 9:22, much slower than I wanted--- but until I get invited to the Olympics I have the feeling I will always be slower than I wanted hehe. Considering my lack of training and the elevation challenge I've decided to feel pretty good about this run. big winks and smilely faces to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| | I went up to Diamond Valley to run so I could stay a little bit cooler. It helped a little. I got seven miles done in 10:20m/m. When I ran I stayed under 10m/m, but I walked quite a bit today. I am just not into running as much as I think I should be this close to marathon. I hope I can wrap my head around it soon or the race will be a disaster. |
