Ran with a fun blogger group in Lehi! I ran with Teena for 8 of the 10 miles. Ran with Kelli the last two. Teena was so sweet today while I struggled. We ran on the Jordan River Park Way and all the plants and pollen or whatever it was was really getting to me. My asthma was acting up majorily.

It was a good reminder to start taking my daily meds again. I think I just get lazy and forget to take them. I am not really sure what my problem is.

Also, note to self, don't forget to take toilet paper!!!! hehehe. So imbarrasing!!!!!!!

I had to get home so I had to hurry and take off as soon as I got back to my car. I was so bumbed I couldn't hang out and get to know a few of you more.

Pace 8:27

What did your Garmin say teena?

Ran with BBK today. I was so looking forward to chatting with Kelli but then really coudn't talk much. My asthma was acting up. I had fun listening to her talk I am just sorry I wasn't more entertaining for her. We also ran with Nancy. It was nice to get to know you a little more Nancy.

I did take my meds last night. It just takes a few days to get it in my system for it to really make a difference.

I was supposed to meet friends in Lehi to run but,I couldn't force myself out of bed this morning. I ran 10 miles alone. I had fun listening to the new songs I put on my MP3.

The last 2 miles were uphill, I thought my lungs were going to burst!

Ran 4 with Alisa. Pace 8:49

Came home and ran 3 on the treadmill. Pace 7:50

I had a glass of skim milk post workout. We will see how that works.

I hope everyone has a good day. Mine is off to a good start. I saw Kellie Picklers music video "Don't you know your Beautiful" while running on the treadmill. It chased away all of my FAT thoughts.

Scott and Kelli picked me up this morning and we drove out to the Jordan River trail in Lehi. It was so freezing when we started and took a few miles to warm up.

I was so spoiled I got Kelli all to myself this morning. The 11 miles went by so fast chatting with her. Jon also came and ran with Scott. Leslie and Husband and (I know I should remember Leslie's friends name, so sorry) Leslie's friend came too.

I am liking the 7 mile distance. I have run somewhere between 1:00:05 and 1:01:45 the last few times I have run. It never feels like I am pushing it just always feels really comfortable. My goal is to be running 8 miles comfortably in that amount of time by this time next year. I want to know what everyone thinks on that time frame. Too much time or too little?

I ran with Alisa, love her!!!! We had lots of fun this morning and my day is starting out great.

Oh yeah!! I am eating good today I mean great!!! I got to get this body back on track!

Have a great day everyone!!!!

I saw the midnight showing of TWILIGHT last night. IT WAS SOOOOO DANG GOOD!!!!!

Warning: We had two girls with us that had never read the book and they did not enjoy it as much. There were a few parts to understand it would have taken so much detail for them to understand that it would have ruined the movie.

I loved who they chose for all the characters. It was so well done!!!!!!

I am ready to see it again TODAY!

My hip has been bugging me for the last couple of days. As soon as I started running today it really was uncomfortable. So I didn't go too far. I may take a few days off.

I will have to see how it feels after Sun. I may be on my rode bike this week.

Ran with Alisa this morning. I did not enjoy the run at all. Just one of those days were it felt really hard. I did enjoy flying by 3 women in my neighborhood who were also running. No, I am not competitive at all!!!!
