Just DO It.

I'm back.

I haven't logged everything in over the months, but would like to start again with my training for a half in June. I ran with a visitor from Australia - she was wiped after mile 1 so we walked for a bit, then I ran again - sprinted at the end. I like to pretend there is an axe murderer running right behind me near the end and I have to sprint to get away from him. Am I weird? Don't answer that.

It felt awesome to run outside. I've run a few times on my TM this Winter and it is so NOT fun. I was happy to see that I haven't totally lost my ability to run. I never huffed and puffed (except for after the sprint!)

Didn't get a chance to log my run yesterday. Ran outside - cold in the beginning, but really warm towards the end (obviously! puff puff). It felt good knowing I could run a 5k without all of the training I used to need. Updated my playlist which was a motivator.

Ran outside with Jenny. LOVED IT! Ran 2 straight - ran/walked the rest!

treadmill.

Ran/walked 3 miles. When I walked I did incline big time so I didn't feel so lazy!

3.0 on the treadmill. Had to slow it down so I could run the whole thing, but run it I did. I find it so much easier to run outside, but I think before maybe I was running too fast on the tredmill which is why I couldn't run the whole time. I don't know. Anywhoo - happy training!

Ran outside - in Scottsdale, AZ! Definitely warmer temps! It was a breezy day, but it felt good. Spring needs to hurry up and get here!

Treadmill - tweaked my knee right when I got on somehow and didn't feel good the whole run. Cut it short.

Ran 4 outside with Jenny. Knee was hurting throughout but not bad enough to cry about it so I carried on! Felt good to be done!

Treadmill. It sucked. Knee was still hurting.

outside run this morning. It was hard, but good. Blasted the tunes and away I went!

Treadmill baby.

Ran 4 miles with Jenny. Drove up around her house and ran up to Wasatch 2 mi then back down to the car. Hills on the way were not easy but the down hill on the way back was sure nice!

Treadmill. Have I mentioned I'm not a big fan of the treamill? Haha. Felt good. Got faster in the middle then I have before.

Treadmill. Wasn't so bad today. I get so frustrated with myself on days I don't run. Serious negative talk going on in my head. This morning I realized (again) no one loves me less if I don't run and they don't love me more if I do run so IT'S OK. I'm doing this for me.

Quote of the day: "Our spirit, with God's help, is more powerful than our flesh"

Must tell myself that at 9pm when I know I should not EAT AGAIN but instead should go upstairs and read and not watch MINDLESS TV for the next 3 hours. I need more sleep.

Love myself enough to treat myself well. Body and spirit.

Just looked out the window and saw the recycle bin turned over because of the wind. Only half full now. Great - should I start running up and down the street looking for my trash?!

Blasted weather! I ran 5 miles on the stinkin' treadmill! Didn't know I could do it so I'm pretty proud of myself. I was squirting myself with a water squirter at the end!

Treadmill. Sweatball!!!

Ran late morning with Jenny. I thought the long run on the schedule this week was 6 miles so that's what we ran. Later I found out it was only supposed to be a 5 mile! OH WELL - dang! Ran it in 55:54.

Treadmill run. Yipee!! Off to St. George for my next run Wed! (unless I do 2 tomorrow which I'm supposed to do :)

St. George run OUTSIDE with my sister!!!! Awesome - loved it. It was great running with Stacie since we haven't run together since the Ice Ages. She FORCED ME to run all the way up a 999 mile hill at the end - ok, didn't force, just encouraged! Felt good to do it.

Was supposed to run more the rest of the week, but, um. I didn't.

So there.

I am back. I almost died. Not really, but I was sicker than I've been in a really long time. Sheesh.

Felt good to get back in my shoes!

Was going to run 4 but had to stop to take an important phone call from a V.I.P.
