Went to Jackson, WY for the weekend got up early went to the gym and ran 5 miles.  Felt pretty good the pain is still there but not as bad.  The view from the gym was AMAZING! Had a great weekend hoping to get back to the grind on Monday!

Went out after work.  I felt amazing.  I was able to keep a pretty good pace and had almost no pain.  I wanted to keep going but didnt want to do it. Love having great runs, makes my day and what a great way to start the week.  Hope this is a sign for an amazing week.

Went out from my house fown to the greentbelt over to the pancheri bridge a little bit of Snake River Landing and back home.  Again, an amazing run felt great and was able to keep a good pace.  I rolled yesterday and today and I think it has helped a little.  I had almost no pain.  I am soooo happy to be running at a good pace and be almost pain free.  Now to Group Power and Yoga.  My best friend will be joining me for Group Power hope she gets a membership and joins the club.

I am soooo sore from the gym last nigh.  Came home sat on the couch and was debating whether or not to go on a run.  I checked on the weather and it said it was 48 so of course I had to go out.  About half a mile into my run it started to hail and rain and blow pretty bad.  I was gonna turn back, but kept going.  It stopped about 3 miles into my run.  I went from my house down to Freeman Park went 3 loops around it came back to the Greenbelt and up on Broadway and met my sister at Starbucks.  I though about my goals I have for this year and I know that in order to accomplish these goals I will have to go out in unpleasant conditions like today but the reward afterwards will be amazing, and it was.  I felt great the entire time the pain on my shin is about gone and I was able to keep a good pace.  Things are looking good and I am getting excited about Salt Lake Half specially after the runs I've had!

Serisouly this weather is amazing.  Went out later in the evening .  No wind temperature was great and the sunset was AMAZING! I seriously could not stop smiling.  My pace was a little bit slowe but I didnt want to push it since I am going on a longer run tomorrow.  The pain on my left shin was a little bit more today but nothing to bad.  This week has been amazing for me.

Got up early took my time to get ready.  I was a bit nervous to go on my run since my last longer run outside was a while back.  Went from my house dont on river road for about 7 miles turned back went to freeman park and did a few loops after that I came home.  I fetl a bit sluggish for the first two miles but was able to snap it out.  Running with a belt is not my favorite thing so I found a secret place and left it there while I went down on river road, what a great idea.  The weather was amazing NO WIND the sunrise was amazing.  I felt a bit tired towards the end but not bad.  Came home took an ice bath, took the kids to breakfast and the day has started great.  This week has been amazing!!!!! :)

Went out for 6 after work up broadway over to bellin and back to my work. I have decided that I really don't like the Glyrecin shoe kinda hurts my shins, maybe it's all in my head. Felt ok for the 6 miles wished I would have felt a little better though.

Took the kids for a walk over to the post office and about a mile on the Greenbelt the weather was amazing so I came home and for the first time since December put on some shorts and went on a 4 mile run really pushed myself was able to do these for on AP of 7:53 !!! So damn happy. Now, off to dinner with the family.

Just quick run before I head to the gym for GO and Yoga. Just an easy run. It was a little windy and a bit chilly but was still able to run in shorts. I had a little cute girl stop and clap for me as I went by her, totally made my day!! Now off to the gym to make some muscles with my friends. LOVE TUESDAY.

I swear I am always sore on Wednesdays. I always tell myself I am gonna take the day off but when I get home and the only thing I have to do is sit on the couch and watch tv I have to go on a run. Went down east river road for about 3 miles turned back and went on to freeman park over to the Greenbelt and up on broadway to Starbucks to get my frapuccino my favorite part of the run. Felt great the whole time started off easy but finished hard. Was able to keep an AP of 8:09. It's crazy how far I've come and I am loving it. Love my me time gives me time to clear my mind and ponder a lot!

In Utah for a few days.  Trying to find time to run while being in charge of 3 kids is almost impossible.  Went to the gym did a quick 3 miles while the kids were showereing and getting ready for dinner.

Last night before I went to bed it was kinda snowing, I think deep down in my head I wanted to wake up to a lot of snow I was kinda nervous about 19 miles.  Got up NO SNOW but way cold.  I really wanted to wear my new jacket so I got dressed and off I went.  I went down the Lewisville HWY over and back up over to SRL and finished at starbucks.  I felt great for the most part the last mile was kinda tough.  I bough some of the chewy GU and kinda really liked it and I think it helped a lot too.  Another week down only a few more left before SLC half!

not a bad run today. weather was great a little wind nothing bad.  people really should have dogs on leash specially at the park.. I got chased by 3 different dogs.  I kinda freaked by the last one and very politely asked the lady if her dog had to be on leash cause i think thats the law... and off i went
