Good News

Hey Team,
Ragnar got their website rebuilt and we are officially in. We should be team number 2 by the end of this or next week. By the way, do Chris and Chandra live within 10 miles of the race?

Feeling Lazy

So Monday I ran 1.5 miles before my ankle started hurting bad enough to make me stop, which isn't too bad because I have a low threshold for this ankle. I didn't run Tuesday and Kimball kept us up a bit that night so I slept in Wednesday. I decided to run in the evening on Wednesday and when I went to work I found out that my orthotics had arrived. So, Last night I ran on my new orthotics and was only able to run a mile before my ankle started hurting again, but this morning it feels pretty good. We'll see how it goes this weekend for a 3 mile run, I think?!?.

Nice Finish to the Year

First of all I want to ask the CRAZIES why they are going so fast? Is it just to see if you can or what? Please fill me in!!! I finished the year with 1118 miles! I was pretty proud of myself. Hopefully I'll be able to do 1000 again this year. I ran a 6 miler on the indoor track in Star Valley which was nice. It was awfully cold up there! Then I did a five miler on the treadmill. Thanx Mom for letting me stink up your place! I kinda wish that I would have ran 2 more miles to make it a more rounded number, oh well. We came home from Star Valley on Friday and I ran 3 on the treadmill. On Sat. I went for a 6 miler with Bruce. He runs WAY too fast and I'm running out of things to ask him so that he has to do all the talking! It's been really good for me though to get my mind off the pain.
Hopefully we will all continue to train smart and hard! Good Luck with all your new goals and Happy Running!

during the break

I was lazy and didn't run last week. Then I only ran 2.5 miles this morning. I had runner gut pretty bad, I'm blaming it on Fast Sunday. My one run in Bancroft resulted in 3.5 miles and I ran for approximately 1.5 minutes at a 12 on the treadmill. Holy cow I thought that 10 was bad. The first couple miles were heinous since the belt was loose on the Eliasons treadmill and I was sliding all over. I finally stopped and fixed it. Made the run much nicer then.

Happy New Year!

I want to officially welcome the Perry's to our team! Sorry it has taken me so long, but I believe I am once again on the mend. Jonathan talked me into going to the PT and she worked wonders on my foot. She found things that hurt that I never knew existed. My foot is healing very nicely and I have been able to run on it a little for the last week. Actually, Saturday, my lungs gave out before my foot did, so this week I'm expecting great things from myself (slowly, of course!) I am determined to run this race just because I am irritated at my body for making me feel like I'm old. I have a lot of physical goals for myself in this new year, and running this race is definitely one of them. Thanks to all of you for your support and encouragement. I never believed that I could run, and I definitely won't break any speed records, but simply to finish will be an amazing feat for me. Keep up the good work all of you, and I will try not to complain so much!

5 miles

It's 2 days late, but I finally got my 5 miler in!! Thanks to you all for pushing me!
