A runner must run with dreams in his heart

It was a nice day today so wanted to enjoy it. Went out after yoga!

Went to spinning in the afternoon, after that i decided to go for quick run bad idea.... I was way to sore and tired!

Wish Idahos weather was like this ALL the time! So nice to be running and feeling a nice little cool breeze! Met up with one of my co-workers he ran with me for about 3 miles.  Finished at starbucks with a nice hot machiato!

BRRRRR! Cold morning.  Went out to do "run for the cure" a lot of ispiring people and a great cause and i felt strong. 

I was a little sore from the weekend.. I think I dance way to hard... lol

Today was a little better still a little sore but not much!

OK!!! Today was good.. The soreness is gone and was able to keep a good pace.  Feeling pretty damn good!

I totally forgot I had signed up for this race til Thursday night.  It has been a crazy week.  So i drove down to Soda Springs checked into my hotel. 

Found out that the race was about 6 miles of trail and the rest pavement. I was a bit nervous because I had never ran on trail and was nervouse I would fall or something.  So, I looked on youtube for "trail running" tips and I think it helped a little bit.

The race could have used a few more aid stations I think i remember like 3 or so and the aid stations were not set up all the way when the people in the front came by... NO GELS!!!!!! Good thing I had one in my pocket cause I needed one bad.  Anyway so the course was not mile marked except at the 10 and 12.... Right after the 12 I took a left instead of a right and went down about a mile or so stopped a car and asked where the park was they told me I was going the wrong way..  GRRRR I was a little upset but just went with it.. According to my app it says I ran 14.93... Would have been 4th but since I turned wrong I ended up in 6th still pretty happy.My time is a little on the high side but thats because of the the distance I went!

Loved the medal, I also got a 50 lb bag of potatoes and a 10 dollar gas card!

UGH! TM again... I just cant get it together this week! My achilles tendon has been killing me.. I am gonna rest for a few days and see how it goes.

Slept in... Ahhhh so nice! Went out this morning my achilles tendon was hurting for the first 3 miles and it slowly got better. Felt the best I have felt all week!

TM!!!!!!! Quick run before group power and yoga!

Was going to meet Alana for an early morning run... Well woke up to a few inches of wet snow.  Decided to go run on the treadmill. Not a bad run plus, I got to wear my new shoes!!!

I just could not wait to run in my other pair of brand new shoes! Went out it was very snowy and wet.  As I was the end of my run I had a lady pull over and offer me her rain coat.. Very sweet of her. I did not take it as I was near the end and I was kinda hot!

Met up with Alana this morning for a nice "longer" run. We went up Sunnyside and then back down.  Nice temperatures..

Nice easy run... The weather is AMAZING out there!

Today I worked on speed. I was able to keep a 7:59 min mile. It was hard but I did it! So damn proud of myself. Tomorrow we find out if we made it to Ogden!
