Was Feeling Pretty Good

So I got on here thinking I could really brag about what I've been doing until I read all of your posts! You guys are way kicking my behind. Way to go!! I am so excited to see all of you doing so well. And those of you not posting, I'm sure you're doing well too! I wish I could be faster, but maybe I just need to realize that I will never be. Oh well. I did get 23 miles in this week and hopefully will walk a little tonight to get closer to my Trek Across Utah goals. Keep up the good work and the race in June will be a breeze! Happy Running!

When will it end?

So I have been sick this week and did not run wednesday and thursday but I was feeling good so I went for a 6.5 mile run outside today. It is a beautiful day outside. I was doing really well when at 4 miles my right knee started hurting so I slowed down and tried to work it out and then had to stop and stretch it but it just kept getting worse. So I ran my 6 in just over 54 minutes but I had to walk the last 1/2 mile home. At least it isn't my left ankle:)

Last night I ran home from work. 23 degrees outside, after a day of work I ran 4.5 miles in 40 minutes. 8:55 pace per mile!! I haven't been under 9 min miles forever! I doubt I can keep it up every time I run but it's becoming a more possible goal!

Back at it

Hey team, I am still here. I haven't posted for a while cause I was so discouraged by my knee issues, but they seem to have resolved. Through some careful physical therapy, ice, heat and rest I haven't had sore knees for a week or two. Last week my family and I were in Bear Lake and I started running outside. Now I hate the treadmill even more. Running outside doesn't seem to stress my knees as bad. I am slowly regaining my distance running and enjoying running outside. Run on.

okay so i totally didn't realize that the schedule was uped this week, none the less i did still get 24 miles in even with the 2 miles less running that i should've done:) my long run was only 6 1/2 but did it in right at an hour. now waiting for the weather to warm back up. hate getting cold...so wade you're not the only one who is a pansie!

4 miles, -5 degrees. Owie lungs.

I ran 4 miles this morning in 36 minutes,27 seconds, and the temperature was 5 below zero. It felt great, but I was wheezing for several hours afterward. I feel pretty good now that it's evening time. I'm looking forward to another 4 tomorrow and then stretching it to 5 on Wednesday. Saturday I'm looking at doing 10 miles. I'll let y'all know how it goes. Run On!

I ran 7 miles today but it was not as fast as I would have liked. I actually had to stop and stretch twice and I didn't have any kick left for the 1/4 mile sprint at the end. Hopefully this funk will end soon and I can start improving again. On a positive note, I hardly hurt at all while I ran.
