Trail Running Granny

3 miles around the neighborhood.  I ate to much over the weekend, Paradise Bakery cookies after the run/Bloggers Party/SuperBowl Sunday, it doesn't do much for your Monday morning run.  Super sluggish.  I am going to have to watch it close these next few days, I will be lucky if I don't gain, I will settle for just holding on for dear life my meager little loss. 

I may go out for a run this afternoon, I am not very happy with 3 miles. 

Have a  great week everyone!

I got out and did some speed  work!  This is totally out of my comfort zone to go back out after I am dressed for the day. I need a lesson on my garmin, I will get Maurine to help me.  I NEVER touch my garmin when I run,  I do potty stops, rest stops whatever, so this time I hit my lap button every time I did a sprint.  I did 12 sprints, the longest one was 3 min., most of them were between 1 and 2 mintes.  The 3 fastest were 8:?? and the rest were all 9:??  I was pretty happy with that, but I was walking inbetween the sprints.  I  actually had a fun time, I just need to know how to do it correctly and learn how to put the results on the blog right, so it makes sense, and then I can come back and see how I improve.  I am looking forward to my butt crack of dawn run with Maurine on Wed. to do some speed work with her. 

Muscle-Up today.  Hopefully I can get in a short run later today.  They moved Paul's surgery up to today, he was in a lot of pain over the weekend.

Happy Running!

Mean Maurine made me get up early and run fast.  

6.2 miles total - 1:12:46

1.2 miles slow/cooldown

****  Okay, I had Maurine put the splits on my blog this morning for me, I messed up on mine. I met Maurine at her house at 5:30 am and had a great run.  The course was flat, along 7th east.  It was hard, I was definitely out of my comfort zone, but was surprised it was do-able.  I am hoping I can do a weekday run with Maurine once a week for speedwork, she has gotten so fast that my speed work is her recovery run, it really helped to have her right there coaxing me along.  I do breath like a freight train, I was working hard enough that conversation wasn't easy for me. It looked like it was a walk in the park for her. I am excited to see what she does at the 5K on Sat.  I am going to pass on the 5K and say this was mine this morning.  My time would have been  30:19  ( sort of,  that is 3 miles and not 3.1)  I was happy with that.  THANK YOU MAURINE!!!!!!!********

3 little treadmill miles,  20 min. of weights and a one hour yoga class.

Todays weigh in for the contest was a big goose egg! 

My focus is to have a perfect weekend, that's it, I need to do baby steps!!

Two Extremely wimpy miles. I am sore from head to toe ( maybe my weight training) achy back and arms.  I think I am still recovering from my speed work, legs aren't quite right.  I am not sure what to do tomorrow, run or take a break.  I have been on my feet all day doing hair, feel plain ol' tuckered out.  It is off to the couch with a hot pad to relax. 

Everyone enjoy your weekend, those of  you in Lehi and the Provo 5K!

Woke up  feeling much better today, I decided to take Odee over to the PR trail, Harold was going to go skiing, but decided to bike with me.  We did nice easy run, it was overcast, but no rain, the temp. actually was perfect.  I did a little bit of speed work, getting my pace down into the 8's and 9's for short little spurts, but for the most part it was a nice leisurely run. Alot of runners were out today, I think everyone is thinking spring and getting ready for the running season, it was a fun atmosphere.  I was glad to get out of my 2 day funk!  Happy Days!!!  I am dieing to hear how my little Marion and Maurine did today and get the details on the Lehi running group.  I thought of you all today, but was glad I made the decsion to take an easy day today, it was perfect!!
