You Can Do It!

The day started off cloudy.  As the race began it started to sprinkle, and then rain.  Thank goodness I was done before the down pour. Won a $15.00 gift certificate to Idle Isle.  Wohooo, free date night. :)

I didn't drink enough water this moring. By the time I got halfway through my workout I realized the sweat on my face was dry and I wasn't producing any more.  Soon my head began to hurt.  I finished the workout the best I could, but I think it would have gone alot better if I wasn't dehydrated.  Wooops.

I ran for about 25 min this morning and again for 26 min this afternoon, in training for the wasatchback relay.  Running twice in one day seemed to make me more tired and sore than when I ran for 80 min strait.

Today was one of those day's I had to force myself to get out and run.  I felt better menatly when I got done, even if not physically. 

Felt good to get out and run today.

Today I woke up with a sore throat and a headache.  I was going to wait until evening because Matt was running the Ogden Marathon, but because I wasn't feeling all that great I decided I wanted to just get this run over with.  I was suposed to run for 100 min. At about mile 6 I was wondering if I was going to make it, but I pushed through it, thanks to Matt's help with bringing me water.  I was able to run 8 miles in 1hr 40 min and 16 sec. For as crappy as I felt all day I'm pretty proud of making it.

I decided I wanted to get my run in before it got to hot, so I put my son in the stroller and headed out at about 8:45.  I was supposed to run for 45 min. I got home in about 42 min and decided that was close enough.  Today I walked alot of my course because the stroller plus my 40lb kid makes it more difficult to run for long periods of time.  Also my left calf and achilies tendon are quite sore, so I took it easy.

Had a good run today.  I ran more and walked less today and still felt really good.  By the time I was done I was pretty worn out though.

I made it.  I was suposed to go for 2 hrs.  In  that time I ran 9.6 miles while running 4 min and walking 1 min. for the entire 2hrs.  I used gue for the first time today.  Good thing I had a lot of water.  That is some sticky stuff!

I ended up walking most of my workout today.  My legs are still sore from Saturday's run.

I just don't know how Matt runs with the stroller.  I tried again today, I ran every other block for the first 1 1/2 - 2 miles, and just walked the rest of the time.  Just getting myself out this week has been difficult, but I went.
