Extreme Morning Run!!!

I ran 6 miles at 3 a.m. this morning. Why do you ask? Because I had to leave at 4 a.m. to drive to school in Pocatello! Why do you have to ask such sill questions? It was so nice, really dark, a little windy, then it started to rain on my head. Brrr. But I loved it. I guess it's good training too, since I'm going to be running 7 miles at 1 a.m. during the relay! I'm starting to feel much better, guess my body is getting used to all this crazy running stuff again! Keep on keeping on, y'all! RUN ON!!!

I ran outside Saturday despite the wind. It was a pretty nice morning and I ran 6.5 miles in just under 60 minutes. The head wind sure takes it out of you but it is sure nice when it is pushing you along. I did have a little run in with a small pack of mutts. I got a good kick in on the most aggressive one and cam e away unscathed. I felt pretty good but had hoped to go more like 8 miles when I started but wasn't up to it that morning. I've decided to increase the frequency that I run if not necessarily the mileage.

Braggin on me

Saturday I ran my first ever race (a 5K) my goal was to finish in less than 30 minutes and I figured anything between 27 and 29 would be a miracle. I rounded the last curve and looked at my watch, it said 22. something and I got the crazy idea I could finish in less than 26. I did it in 25:40. I ranked 12th in my age bracket. I was pretty stoked.

I'm happy to be here

Good day. I got in a 9.3 mile run in 70 minutes. The local 10 miler is in two weeks, but no other information has been posted. These people are silly. Keep runnin y'all. Hey Wade, Melissa tells me you've been thinking about some girl.

Yesterday was my day off work and I was feeling lazy so I didn't get up early and run. By the time I was done with Scouts that night I still hadn't run so I jumped on the treadmill and started running. I was going to do 4 miles but when I got there I was feeling so good that I kept going. I was thinking of doing 7-8 miles when my right knee started aching and since I've promised myself to listen to this old decrepit body, I stopped at 5.5 and ran it in just under 48 minutes. It felt good. Of course Iwas tired this morning and didn't get up to lift so now I have to lift after work. Cause and effect!

Hills

So yesterday I had a nice little run in the rain!! Good thing it hadn't started snowing yet! I'm not sure how long of a run it was, I'm figuring between 4 and 5 miles, or how long it took me, probably 40 or 45 min, but I do know that Logan hills are awesome!! Need to do some more of that kinda stuff since thats what I'm going to be running. Keep on running guys!!! Love you all!!

Min? Who the heck is Min??

WOW! It's been a long time since I contributed to this share session! I am still running and I am still reading. I'm sorry to hear about so many injuries and such. I am more than impressed, however, that not one person has said "I quit!" That means a lot more to me than you will ever realize!
My running has been consistent. That's the only word I can think of. I've had a few good runs and a few bad runs and a lot of just plain runs! I did however have a fabulous run in Star Valley. I think Jer was there pushing me along. I did 4 miles in 33:48. That's faster than I've ever run before! I have started doing some hill workouts and speed workouts as well. I wanted to run my 10 miler outside today, but I decided I didn't want to tempt fate with the snow plows, so I got up at 4:30 this morning, watched Transformers II and ran and ran! Then I got to do something kinda fun, I went to Heber and got my passport papers all turned in!! Wow are those things expensive. Can't wait to go on my trip though.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. The sun is shining right now and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it! I will see some of you very soon!! Love you all and Happy Running!!
