just trying to be better

ran the nestle 5k, did not realy want to run it.  My legs were sore from pump class on friday.  I am glad that I ran it because I PR 19:43 I was realy happy

woke up at 6:30 being realy lazy today. Did not get out on the road today till 6:50 ran my usual route by my house, not as windy. ran 3.5 in 24 minutes then came home to get my daughter to piano. Then had to go down on the treadmill because of the kids did 5 and a half more miles at a 7:00 pace then walked a quarter of mile for cool down, I don't love the treadmill but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.  I did feel realy good today.

ran my usual route around my house out into mapleton and around the neighborhoods and it is always windy but I felt ok the first three miles 7:40 pace then the next one 7:00 pace then 7:12 then 7:23 then 7:25 then 7:36 then 7:52 then 7:40 as you can tell my legs started feeling realy heavy and I was tired

I wimped out today and ran on the treadmill because I am so sick of the wind.  I ran two miles warm up at 8:00 minute pace then I did three miles at a 6:40 pace then three miles at a 7:15 the three more at a 7:25 pace it wasn't to bad but not my favorite and it seems like it takes you forever

went to spin class today at 5:45 to 6:45 then did strength training for about an hour.  I like to break it up a little bit or I get a little sick of running. then me and the kids rode our bikes to magelbys fresh and then over to my daughters dance class. It was a fun day we also saw the new ice age movie

ran payson canyon today was trying to meet up with mackenzie but i was late. Kristen was there so i ran up with her.  We ran around peetneet for a short warmup and then started up the canyon.  I did not feel good today my stomach and legs were hurting but overall i think we still did pretty well. we ran eleven together and then i came home and ran another four miles they were a hard four miles

i woke up at 5:15 and went to my pump class an hour and ten minutes then i came home and knew i needed to run but was not realy feeling up to it but joining this blog has made me run because i like to see my miles for the week

woke up at 5:45 decided to run on treadmill ran 9 miles at not a very good pace realy tired and my legs were sore plus i had to go teach my bootcamp class and i wanted some energy left for the class. but then when i was teaching the class we were warming up jogging around canyon view park and i felt my ankle pop and then i could not walk on it for a while and then it felt a little better

later that night we played in the fiesta days kickball tournament with couples from our ward and it was a blast we had so much fun and we are co champions we tied the other team and decided to stayed tied because we both received the same prizes it was fun

did not start running till nine this morning  was so tired from the kickball tournament. started runnung and immediatley felt my legs espically my hip flexors and i can only think it was from the kickball all the sprinting and stopping and sprinting and stopping and honestly i could barely hold an eight minute mile and my calfs and ankles hurt and i hate to complain about being sore so sorry if anyone is reading this

decided i was going to rest today cause i am running the speedy spainard tommorow and considering i can barely walk down stairs i thought my legs should have a break. I hope that i can even run the race i might have to take alot of ib profen to relax those muscles i hope i do well but i might do realy bad you never know with these races hopefully i can just do my best
