Trail Running Granny

My whole body fought me this morning, I had two days off running and xcrossing and it was not good. I learned a very valuable lesson, my body needs to move every day, or I seize up.  My AP was 13:13. 

This week I am going to try and run 5 miles Mon. thur Thur., I will also do my muscle-up  Tue and Thur.  Friday, Harold and I are going to our beach house in San Juan Capistrano for a long weekend.  I can not wait to run along the beach and soak up the sun!

Have a great week everyone!

Who put the lead in my pants? Another hard run, sluggish, joints not working quite right, I felt I pushed harder this morning, but my time was the same.  What gives?  Oh, well, I had to cut out Muscle-Up, I got called up to Snowbird to do a massage, so I've got to get dressed and drive up the canyon, it's a chains or 4X4 only today, I am not looking forward to the drive.

Was out the door at 7:00, there were snow flurries, but at least I had day light.  I finally picked up the pace a bit.

5 miles  1:00  AP 12:09   splits  11:22 / 12:03 / 12:31 / 12:33 / 12:18

It's my youngest birthday today, Janalisa, she is 23.  I am going to color her and Julie's hair today and take them to lunch.  Fun times!

Maurine and I have been thinking and talking and stewing about our 50 miler, we think we don't want to spend the money or time to go out of state, so we are now considering doing the OV50 miler on Oct. 24, ask us next week and you may get a different answer, but I am thinking this makes alot more sense, other than you have to go up and over Trappers Loop twice!  It is up in the Huntsville area, it is one of the most beautiful places in Utah I think, well, you know, that is where the Ogden Marathon is, anyway, we can go up during the summer and run parts of the course.  That is our most recent thoughts on the upcoming 50.

Note to Maurine: I just pretended you were in front of me this morning telling me to catch up to you and it worked!  :)

I had a great run this morning, I waited for the sun to come up again, and wore a lighter windbreaker, I think it helped, I think I am slower and more cautious in the dark, and my jacket has been weighing me down, so I felt lighter and brighter this morning and had a better time.

5 miles  57:44  AP 11:36   10:59 /  11:15 / 11:51 / 11:45 / 12:09

My next run will be along beach!!!  Have a great safe weekend, and good luck with all your long run plans!
