Slow miles but happy to be outside. I feel like I could have gone forever at this pace so maybe I should keep it around there until my hip is on it's best behavior. Any thoughts about that my friends?

I thought I should explain my new blog name... My husbands company is transferring us to Orange County. We will be moving the end of February. When the offer first came I was not too excited but I have really gotten excited about the move over the last two weeks. His office will be in Irvine so we are looking at moving to Mission Veijo.
My only wish is that I could take everyone with us. I am so looking forward to the running weather their year round I just hope I will be able to find great running friends. That's why I need you all to come with us!!!
This is a great opportunity and compliment to my husband. He has worked so hard and been succesful with JP Morgan Chase. His company purchased WAMU a few months back and they do not have Jonathan's division. So JP Morgan has asked Jonathan to go to Cali. and start his division in Orange County. He will be building his team of 8 or so from the ground up so he will be very busy this coming year.
We will live close to Huntington beach and Disney Land so we will fill our time away from Jonathan their. | |

Treadmill miles. Fortunatley and Unfortunatley my hip always feels so much better on the Treadmill. I prefer to run outside but today wasn't too bad. I took a water break every 2 miles or so, so that broke up the monotany. Plus Braveheart was on TV and that is a kick butt show to run to.
I was really happy to get 9 in today. I wanted to make it to 20 miles this week. Next week I will shoot for 22-25. I hope to gradually get my miles back up between 35 and 40.

3 treadmill miles. Pace 8:40 Hip pain 2.5/10. I haven't run 3 days in a row in weeks. So I think that is why my hip pain was a little more today.
I haven't been taking IB profen for about two weeks. I think I better take it on the days I run for the inflamation.

Ran with the BBK today. It was really windy which made it seem a little colder than it really was. My hip felt so much better than I tought it would today.
With a few new developments today I am starting to panic about moving. Not about actually moving but about how quickly it may happen. My husband thinks he needs to be there maybe by Feb. 1st. Since we don't want to seperate our family very long that means I will be moving with the kids probably befor the end of Feb.

I really don't actually know what the rest of the miles categories mean on my blog (except marathon pace) so I just keep putting all my miles in as EASY. Could someone please tell me what they mean?
Anyway, PM miles in home gym with hubby. He did weights while I ran. That always makes running on the treadmill go by faster when he is there with me. Plus he is so darn cute in his tank top.
Hip pain 4/10 Yikes!! Not good tonight. We shall see how it feels tomorrow with the BBK's.

They actually weren't all easy miles but I did not keep track on the hill sprints we did. Ran with the BBK.
The same leg that my hip has been bugging me is having more problems now. It really doesn't hurt more when I run but through out the day I am having problems lifting that leg by itself. (putting pants on one leg at a time, etc.) It isn't my hip that is hurting more but almost on the complete opposite side of my hip. I don't think it is my groin but I am not sure what it is.
I am almost considering taking a month off so that I can heal properly in order to start training the way I want for SGM 09. I will be moving in two weeks so that might be the perfect time. Although, I am going to have to figure out what type of exercise I can do to relieve stress and keep my weight under control and still let my leg heal. Any suggestions? | |

Ran with BBK on parkway this morning.
My hip did not hurt at all today. It did not even feel tight. I guess that is one of the blessings of coming down with Strep throat. I really have not run much in 10 days. This is the first day sense the week before Thanksgiving that I haven't felt any pain. I did not even have the insert in my shoe that the Dr. gave me.
Just got from lunch with Kelli. So fun and she introduced me to Kneaders!!! Yummy! Not sure why I haven't ever been there before
As a side note... We sold our house already. My husband and I feel so blessed and know the Lord is guiding us on our re-location. It is pretty great how he takes care of things and all we have to do is have a little faith.

I found a really great route last week that I did again today. It is 2 miles from my house to this great hill. It is behind some apartments and I run up to the peak and back down the other side for a cool down. Then I reverse it and do the same thing again. It is the perfect distance. So mixed in the middle of my 5 miles today I ran 4 hill repeats. The hill repeats equal to be 1 mile and then I turn around and run the 2 miles back home.
I have to say I am not having the easiest transition here. I do love the area but I really don't like our rental. It is old and I feel like it is dirty. Because it is a rental my husband keeps telling me to stop spending so much time to make it look the way I want it. He is right, because we really are not going to be here long. It is really hard to look around me while I am inside and enjoy California. When I am outside I love where I live!!!!!
I took my kids down to the beach for a walk. My two year old was so cute when I took his picture he kept saying cheese and grining so big. On the way home I got pooped on by a bird. Thankfully it was just on my hand.
Miss you all!!! If it makes you feel any better it has actually been a little chilly here since we got here. It has been averaging like 55. Which is actually pretty cold here. It is funny to see the locals walking around in scarfs, hats and gloves. | |

I ran the opposite direction on the boardwalk this morning. There were tons of runners and bikers and there were tons of surfers to watch this morning.
I felt great and was surprised that an 8:20 pace was comfortable today. I have stayed pain free in my hip and I am loving it. I am just not sure how much to push without re-injuring. I plan to listen to my body a little better this time.
The first 4 miles were very comfortable so I decided I need to run the last for miles as a negative split. I started to tire around 6.5 miles. I got chicked at 4.5 miles. Thankfully it was by a guy and not a girl. He must have been doing an out and back because a mile after he passed me he turned around and ran towards me. I was pleased to see he was working pretty hard. I like to think it was because he was trying to catch me. I will just pretend!

I ran along the boardwalk again today. I need to branch out a little more but it is so beautiful by the Ocean. I also feel safe running there because there are a lot of people exercising. Even early in the morning.
I am meeting up with a friend of a friend who is a Marathon runner and lives here in Huntington. I am excited to have someone to run with tomorrow.

I met up with a new running friend today. She was great and we are prerry compatiable pace wise. We are going to meet tomorrow for a 10 miler. She has lived in Huntington her whole life so she is going to show me all the great places to run. This morning we ran along the river bed, it was beautiful. We met at 5:15. Yikes!!! I was late because a got a little lost. Thankful she had waited for me.

1 hour yoga. Met some Yoga buddies a couple of weeks ago so that has been fun to have friends there. I am not much older than them and they think it is crazy that I have 3 kids. They are both un-married so I am sure that is even harder to imagine. It is crazy that I have 3 kids!!!!!

I need some moral support so I am going to do something that I think is pretty brave and stupid. I am going to start posting my weight on my blog. I have been eating so bad since the move and I need to get myself back on track. I want to get back down to 125-127 so I need you all to keep an eye on me.
I am also going to post my food for the day on the following day. So don't let me give up. Okay?!
I need everyone's help to keep me honest!!!
I am a little embarrased to post my weight because I have gained a few lbs. since SGM 08'.

I fell asleep while my husband was at the gym last night and I was out pretty good. I got woken up by him climbing through our 2nd story window. He had to break in. So funny this morning. Not so funny last night.
It is my babies b-day today he is 2!!! I am going to make a spongebob cake. Hopefully it turns out cute.
I need to do a 35 min tempo run today. Hopefully after the kids are in bed I will make it to the gym.
Weight 130.8
Need to drink more water today. I also snacked a little too much yesterday, I will pay more attention to that today. | |

They weren't all easy miles but I don't want to be that technical so I am not going to break them up.
I ran along the pier and boardwalk today. It was windy and rainy but still so many surfers. It is fun to watch them.
My weight looks really bad today but there is a perfectly good explanation as to why. Which I would rather not share. So I was not going to post the horrid # but I figured I better stay true to what I set out to do... and that was to post my weight each day. So here goes nothin..

Ran through Newport beach today with Renae. When Jon and I retire I am so doing it in Newport Beach. So Beautiful!!!!!!!!
I ate a fruit snack and a box of raisins during the run. It seemed to be plenty for that distance. I need to get a hydration belt. It won't be as easy to "plant" water the nights before. Although there are water fountains along the beach so that helps.
This is the furtherst I have run since SGM. I felt really good. Pace 9:03. The pace was very comfortable.
I still need to sign up for LA marathon.
We ran past a guy preaching on the beach and he said "bless these runners". So funny! | |

1. Multigrain Cheerios 2. Balance Bar + half a bag of gummy bears (shouldn't have eaten those), 3. Spinach Salad w/ fat free dressing 4. 1/2 apple and stick of cheese
I will post the rest when the day is done.

Not all easy miles but I don't want to break it up. Ran 4 hill sprints in the middle. Ran with a new girl today. She is a little faster than me so I am super excited. She will push me and she just moved here from Utah too. She is considering signing up for LA. That would be fun to have someone to run with.
130.2 YEAH!!!! Still got 5 to go. | |

So not EASY today!!! I felt like a new runner today. My legs were dead! I really hope it is not because I have cut back on my calories. I am finally eating really healthy again and I don't want the fewer calories to affect my running. I will give it a few more days to asses. I am focusing on getting a bit more fat and protein in my diet today. I have a pace run tomorrow and I am nervous I will feel like I did today.

Ran with Renae at the beach today. We did a mile warm up and then a 6 mile pace run and a mile cool down. I added 5 miles on when I was done running with her. I have stuff going on Sat. AM so I knew I wouldn't be able to do a longer run this weekend.
My asthma has been bugging me the last couple of days, same with my allergies.
130.0 I ate more than I should yesterday but I was worried I wouldn't have enough energy for my tough run today. Atleast that was what I kept telling myself.
Splits (warm up) 9:33, 8:03, 7:58, 8:04, 7:59, 8:03, 8:00, (cool down) 8:52, (Renae left, not sure what I want to do) 8:35, (decided to push for a couple of miles) 7:57, 8:06, (running into the wind) 8:09, (cool down) 8:36 | |

Asthma-Not good, Legs- Not Good, Bathroom stops- Not good, Conversation- GREAT!!! Thanks Renea!!!!!!
I really haven't felt 100% this week so today was a bit challenging. On top of not feeling well I had to stop and pee 8-9 times, I lost count. I drank three glasses of Diet Coke at dinner last night and Caffiene makes you go potty so I am guessing that was my problem.
We ate dinner at Ruby's Diner last night. It is the restaurant at the end of the pier. The kids love to eat there. We were sitting out over the water and watched a group of about 10 dolphins swimming and jumping. It was amazing!!!! The kids also got balloon hats from the balloon guy and they loved it!!
Pace 9:17 I guess not so bad for not feeling great. | |

I didn't want to get up early this morning so.. I didn't!! My running partner is camping so I went all alone. It was actually nice to have my thoughts to myself today. I started at 2:30 PM. My body was wondering what was going on when I started.
Started in Huntington Beach and ran into Newport Beach. It is spring break and Newport was the hot spot today. It was quite entertaining while I was running today.
It was nice to see how I would handle it a little warmer today since the LA marathon does not start until 7:20 AM at the end of May. BAD IDEA!!! They need to change it to 6 AM but WHATEVER!!!! I did pretty well, wore a hat and stopped about every 2 miles for water. My mouth would get a little dry waiting for the next water fountain.
I also decided to pick up the pace every 3rd mile. Don't know why it was just kind of a fun game to pass the time.
Splits 8:50, 8:52,8:14,8:54,8:35,8:02,8:51,8:58,7:52,8:38,8:59,8:03 I really thought my last mile would be the fastest but I was running close to the pier where all the action is and had to dart in and out of people and bikes.

I am exhausted from moving again this week. We moved to a bit of a more permanent place. At least for the next 6 months. That is how long our lease is for and then hopefully we will be buying a home at the end of the 6 months.
I still don't feel great today and the stress of moving this week has practically put me over the edge.
I am not really excited about my marathon and I am having a hard time finding motivation to train. Someone please encourage me.
I am hoping these last two weeks were just off weeks for me and that I will be back to my old running self soon.

I was a lone runner today. It was nice to be with my own thoughts and music. I ran along the beach in Huntington. The temp. was awesome.
I had to go potty a lot again today. I need to figure that out.
There are always groups of men along the beach checking out the waves and drinking coffee. Why is it that when a woman runs by they all of to stare? It makes me feel so uncomfortable.

I found a great street with lots of hills. I know it is crazy but I have missed the Herriman hills. I had a great run today and also found a great park with a trail. I think the trail was about 1.25 miles around. I ran that twice. The park was also well populated so I felt safe running on my own.

Ran 15 along the beach. Started in Huntington and ran down through Newport. I looooove Newport!!!! They have some of the coolest houses along the beach and it is so entertaining to people watch there.
I ran solo today which was okay. It would have been more fun with friends though. I will have to figure out something for my 20 next week. Because 20 alone sounds like tourcher. Anyone want to come for a visit next Saturday?
AP 9:07
Blessing today... Good friends. I have a handful of friends that are your truest kind of friend. They pick me up when I am down and they never judge me for my less than perfect life. Life is truly sweeter with great friends.

Ran along Hutington beach today. I saw the same homeless guy we saw last night when our family went for a walk. It eats me up inside to see people like that. I said a little prayer in my heart for him when I ran past. He must have had a hard life to get him to where he is today.
I couldn't figure out why I was running a 8:00 pace for the first half of my run and it felt so very easy. Then I turned around to come home. I was running with the wind and down hill on the way out and uphill and against wind on the way back. I felt like a ROCKET SCIENTIST to figure that one out.

Treadmill miles. I ran while my 2 year old napped. My older children were so good and I was able to get in all my miles.

Blessing... The Treadmill. That's right people you heard me.. The Treadmill. Normally it is not my first choice, but there is for sure a time and a place for it. I would not have been able to get all my miles in this week with out it. When I was done running my kids wanted a turn. My 7 year old ran 2 MILES!!!! I was totally impressed. He was so cute when he would stop to take a drink of water or tell me to turn it to a better song. He was totally singing away. My 5 year old ran .25 which wasn't too shabby either.

YEAH BABY!!!! I felt so good today. I was really worried about doing 22. The furthest I have ever gone on a training run is 20 miles.
I wish I was a bit more prepared physically for this race in the sense that I am not trained to run a PR but I feel so strong mentally so I am super excited.
Renae met me around mile 7.5 and rode her bike the rest of the way with me. She ran her marathon last Sat. Seriously! How sweet is she too come and hang with me and get me through this long run.
I took 3 IBprophen at mile 8. I've never done that before but think I like it. Does anyone else have experience with this?
I busted out my last mile in 8:15.

She use to run high school and college track until she was in a car accident and now is wheelchair bound. I powered out my last mile thinking how good it felt to use my legs. Seriously, I am so thankful I get to drag myself out of bed early each morning to run. You never know when it can be taken away from you. | |

Ran 10 along the beach. I was going to just take it really east today but I couldn't help myself today. I kept finding people in front of me that I just had to pass. Then once I passed them I couldn't slow down for them to pass me and then I would find a new person to leap frog. It was actually quite fun.
I also ran into a woman in my ward who is AWESOME! I have never seen a woman so ripped in my entire life. She is the one I have talked about that is a speedy marathoner with a Olympic time. I ran 2 miles with her. Thank goodness her dog is slow so that I could keep up with her.

UM...... I felt like I had never run a day in my life this morning. I ran real easy the first mile and then wanted to do a marathon pace mile just to feel the speed I am planning on running. After the marathon pace mile I almost passed out and I had to sit down. Then ran the last mile real easy home. I felt light headed and nausea the whole time.
My asthma has been bad this week so maybe my brain just isn't getting enough oxygen.
Not a really good feeling just 4 days before I am going to run a marathon.

Read with Caution you might get jealous.... So I ran 2 miles on the sand today, barefoot. It felt so good. Close to the water so the sand was a bit more firm. After wards I took my ice bath in the Ocean! It was beautiful. The water was not as chilly as it was last week but I think it still did the job.
Blessing... 2 year old hugs. My two year old gives the best hugs, the kind when he holds on so tight it squishes your face.

| I can't believe it is over!!!! Let me start by saying I am super proud of mysely today. It was not the best racing day for me. I started struggling by mile 3 and then by mile 10 I just wanted it to be over. That is little earlier.. don't ya think.
My asthma has been bugging me for the last week now... and Teena I have been staying on top of my meds. (I thought you would be proud of me)
My lungs were pretty tight most of the race and my legs were bricks but I am proud to say that I talked myself through it.
I spent the whole race really trying to be positive and focus on the great things about the marathon instead of the negatives.
Mile 1 dodging in and out of people
Mile 2 more of the same
Mile 3 reminding myself it is okay to not feel perfect today just stick with it
Mile 4 feeling pretty good talked myself through a rough spot
Mile 5-10 more of the same
Mile 10-17 Really struggling and singing a lot of primary songs. Was still able to keep an okay pace. I wanted to walk sooooo bad but didn't.
Mile 18-20 Felt really great and was able to pick up the speed a little. At this point I was also doing the walk 30 seconds at every mile marker. That really seemed to help me today.
Mile 20-23 still feeling pretty good but couldn't keep up the pace anymore. I was moving slower. Still doing the walk for 30 seconds at each mile marker.
Mile 23-25 Can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Singing some more primary songs to keep up my mood.
Mile 26 Started busting it out. The crowd was AWESOME!!! They really got me going
.2 I had to stop and walk twice.... Can you believe that? Â My quads started spasming so bad I couldn't keep running. I was a little bummbed I couldn't finish strong.
The volunteers at this race were so great... They would see my name on my bib and cheer me on by name. That helped so much.
The best part about today was my support system. My friend Renae came and cheered me on. I first saw her at mile 10 and then I saw her atleast 5 other times along the course. She would get in her car and drive to the next spot and get out and cheer me on. How great is that? I can not even believe how awesome she is.
 Renae called my husband after she saw me at mile 10 and told him things were a bit rough for me. He gathered the kids and they all prayed for me. My family is really what got me through today. They are so supportive and encouraging of my hobby. They were all waiting for me at the finish line and my kids were so cute cheering for me. They were so darn excited and I loved it!
 Well all in all I am really proud of myself. You tend to get out of Marathon day what you put into the training and for me I think I did even better than what I put into it. It has been really difficult to stay focused to my running during our move and while adjusting to our new lives. During training I just kept telling myself to "Fight for it" and that is exactly what I kept repeating to myself over and over again today.
Love to all my sweet blogging friends. Miss you all!
Peace out.. this girl is going to sleep!!! Till next time "fight for it" !

The final results came in for the marathon and I am super excited about where I placed.
1798 out of 14,192 overall
49 out of 715 in my age group
257 out of 5180 women.
Now looking at the results I wished I could have run a 3:45 like I did at SGM. I could have placed 23 in my age group but I am pretty happy about what I did get.
Blessing.... Sleeping in and not feeling guilty! I love that I can sleep in this week. | |

WARNING: Do not take your two year old anywhere while you are still recovering from a marathon.
This morning I took my son to story time at the Library. The library was not opened yet so mom's and kids were all just waiting at the front door. This library is on Main street in downtown huntington beach so the street is very busy. Zane decided it would be fun to start running back and forth along the sidewalk which was okay until other kids started to follow him. He thought it was a game so he decided to run into the street to get away from the rest of the kids. I could not get to him fast enough because I am hobbling around. So the only thing I had was my voice and I screamed like a crazy woman. Keep in mind I can see I car coming right at my son. So I am running to him the best I can and screaming with a crazy voice so that it would startle him, which it did and he stopped. He was in the middle of the street and thank goodness the driver was paying attention.
So after getting nasty looks from all the other mom's I left the library in tears feeling like such an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still shaking!! I feel so dumb for not having him in a stroller or something but I didn't have him in a stroller because you can't take them in the Library. So thank goodness Heavenly Father was watching over us today. I feel so stupid and mad at myself.
We will not be going anywhere until I am faster than him. | |

| Day 1: Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut"
AM: Workout Day 1 from her book. Finished each circuit once. It felt good. I got a little light head after doing Burpies. Drank a full bottle of water through out workout.
Wish me luck with following the diet today. Why is that always so much more difficult than exercising?
I will report my PM workout and my food intake tonight.
45 min. of running Lots of stairs. Right after dinner, not a good idea
Calories 1400 super clean no processed food.
Water 75 oz. Need atleast 80. | |

Day 2: Jillian Michaels "Making the Cut"
AM: Slept through my alarm this morning. DARN! Had to settle for a 4 mile walk pushing a stroller. I don't have a jogger or I would have run. It was nice to walk along the beach with my two year old. He loved it. We saw lots of dogs and he blew kisses to each of them.
PM: Day 2, 5 Circuit workout. I really like these workouts. They are challenging and they have a little bit of everything, so never boring.
Ran 1.4 with my 7 year. So these were REALLY SLOW miles but nonetheless.. miles.
Food Intake: Another great day. 1390 calories. I ate lots of berries today. They are so yummy!!

Day 3: "Making the Cut"
Today is an off day for weights so just one workout for the day. 5 painfully slow miles. I am not yet recoverd. My muscles are so weak and tired. I had fun chatting with Renae this morning.
Ate a few to many calories today... 1550 not bad but still I need to stick to the 1400.
I also did not stay up on my water intake. I think that is why I was starving all day long.
Recommiting to drinking enough water tomorrow. | |

Day 4: Making the Cut
AM--3.7 miles on the treadmill. Pushed for 4 min recovered for 2 min. Did this for 40 min. My legs are still a bit sore from all the squats I did on Monday. I need to focus on getting enough water today. I didn't do so hot on that yesterday. I am already noticing a difference in my body! Little, but still the work is starting to show.
PM: Circuit workout day 4. .3 miles of sprints thrown in there. I felt good today. This is the same workout from Monday and it felt a little easier today.

Day 8: Making the cut
Feeling good and sticking with the program. The weekend was a bit different with the diet and having fast sunday but still going strong.
AM: 7 miles with a new friend, Valerie. It was fun. I don't know the pace. I didn't bring my watch. Finally felt recovered today.
PM: Circuit workout. I did not want to do it . It was late. Did it anyway!Yeah for me.
Calories 1600 about 150 more than I should but not much so I am okay with it. | |

Day 9: "Making the Cut"
Ran with Valerie again today. She is super speedy but humors me and runs at my pace.
I am trying not to be bumbed about the program I am doing. I have really only lost 1lb. I just expected to be loosing more weight by drastically cutting my calories. I am fitting into my clothes better but I really just wanted to see the progress on the scale. By the end of tomorrow I will be a third of the way done and I will see the whole program through. I guess we are not all made to be 110 lbs.
Circuit weights 9 PM. Tuff workout and it felt great! | |

Day 11: "Making the cut"
Late night weights. I did each ciruit twice because of no running today. I figured out that only a week after the marathon I started running and I ran 9 out of 10 days after that. So I am goint to take it easy on running and focus on weights for the remainder of the program. I will still be running just not everyday.
Lost another lb. I am down about 3 lbs. I guess that is not so bad for 11 days.
I have also been eating just a few more calories than 1400. I think that is better for me. She does have you cut so low down in order to accomplish your goals in 30 days. But I really didn't take into account she only has you working out 4 days a week and only asks you to do 1 hour of working out on those 4 days. So I was exercising way too much for 1400 calories.
I feel like I have found a happy medium. | |

Day 12: Making the cut
Early AM workout. I did each circuit just once. I wanted to do them twice but my husband was gone surfing this morning and my children woke up before I could get to the second round. O well, everyday can't be perfect. I am planning on running 8-10 tomorrow so I am hoping that will take care of a few extra calories that I hoped to burn today. | |

Day 15: Making the Cut
I did the circuits twice today. She upped the intensity of the exercises today. They were tough but I am TOUGH so I pulled through. It took just a little over an hour.
I fell of the diet wagon Fri. and Sat. I got myself back on track on Sun. Trying not to be frustrated with myself because we all know where that leads!!!
I have always been good at keeping up on exercise but eating healthy is a challenge. I really like how I feel when I eat right. So I will keep "fighting for it".
I am off to DISNEYLAND today!!!!! Have a great day all! | |

To my few followers don't worry I am still going strong and taking care of myself. Just having fun doing other forms of exercise other than running.

Easy with Renae this morning. It was really fun to chat it up we laughed a lot!
We came up on a policeman just sitting in his car and Renae yelled BOO in his window and made him jump. Really funny! Then he got on his speaker phone and made a few comments as we went along our way. | |

I ran a really fun race today in a team of 4. It was myself, my husband, my friend Renae and my husbands friend Jim.
Their were barriers we had to jump over, tires we ran through, mud we crawled in, rivers we waded through, sand we crawled through and a mud pit to roll in to finish it off. It was AWESOME!!!! We had so much fun.
This year was this particular races first year running. There were some kinks that come along with the first year of a race mainly the belated start time due to the 5k runners were not done yet.
All in all super fun and I will be washing dirt and rocks out of my hair for the next few days.
I wore an old pair of running shoes and just through them away afterwards. | |

I was supposed to run with my neighbor Julianna today but her baby still hadn't woken up and she needed to hang around to feed her. SO.. I ran solo today and it was really nice. Somedays you just need to be in your own head.
I decided I would work on my turnover. I told myself to let my legs do the work.. think about form and think about my legs going just a bit faster. I was really pleased with the results considering that I really haven't been running a ton of miles lately. I was also a little suprised the speed did not feel to hard. Yeah!!!
Noboday passed me today!!! There was a guy who came up on me close to the end of my run but I started talking to him so he couldn't pass me. I am SNEAKY!!!
Splits (warm up and cool down miles)

I haven't run many miles this week. I have a cold and allergies on top of that so breathing posses to a problem. I miss running so much outside. I have been doing most of my miles on the treadmill this last few weeks. I will have to change that.
My husband and I are headed to Hawaii next Fri!!!! Yahoo! My mom and sister will be here to hold down the fort. So I hope to run outside in Hawaii a lot. I am looking forward to being able to run with my husband, it will be FUN! | |

Yes miracles do happen!!! I actually got up at 6 am and ran today.. so I guess you can say that is 2 miracles for me today.
Favorite part of the run... I saw a plump little boy taking his dog out for a walk to use the potty. The dog was more than twice his size and I can just imagine the conversation leading up to this act... "Billy take the dog out" "Mom I don't want to, it is still dark outside." "Billy you said you wanted this dog so he is your responsibility."
My level of running is sad but I went.
AP 9:07

Two days in a row!!! I feel great. I need to remind myself when I don't want to crawl out of bed how wonderful it feels to run.
Favorite moment: Ran into a friend who was rollerblading along the beach. Stopped and chatted for about 5 min.
Blessing: My husbands patience in listening to all my "fat" talk over the years. Why do we do this to ourselves ladies? We, or I need to get over it and be grateful for the body God gave me. For the rest of the day no FAT talk for me. | |

PM run again. Got dinner on the table and left my family to eat so I could run in the daylight. Ran down to the pier and back. It took me 15:24 to run to the pier and 14:02 to run back.
I love to play running games with myself. When I saw the time at my turn around point I challenged myself to beat it.
Last mile 7:25

Hurried and jumped on the treadmill while my sick child is sleeping.
I took my kids to San Diego yesterday to visit some friends and go to the beach. On the way home my 2 year old started throwing up all over in his car seat. SO SAD! I still had about an hour till we got home so I stopped and cleaned him up at a Carls JR. As soon as we started on the road again he puked again. I ended up not stopping to clean him up mostly becasuse I had nothing else left to clean him up with. He puked again to so I just hurried home as safely as possible.

It was super foggy and by the end of my run my hair was a ball of serious messiness.
Blessing: Scriptures... I have made it a point to read my scriptures after I drop my kids off at school before I do anything else. That habit has truly blessed my life over these last few weeks. | |

Down to the pier and back. My legs just weren't working today. I couldn't get them to move the way I wanted them to.
Ran past a lady who had fallen on her bike. Stopped to help.
There was so much moisture in the air today. It felt almost like running in the rain only it wasn't raining. Very bizarre sensation. It was really foggy again.
Ran past a port a potty truck cleaning out the potty's. Thought I was going to loose my cookies. I kept thinking the air had to get fresh and it took about a half mile past the truck to get any fresh air. Very NASTY!
Blessing: Choc. Peanut Butter Banana Protein Shake... I have had them for breakfast 3 times this week and they are so delicious!!!! My kids try to still them from me. | |

Happy Birthday to my Hubbie!!!
Got up at 5:30 did the Jillian Micheals "Making the Cut" Day 1 workout.
Ran 3 miles. This is rough estimate because I took a new route and did not have my watch. I felt so good running today I could have gone forever. Too bad my husband has to go to work. Why can't we just live on Love?
Ran past.. let me rephrase that.. 4 missionaries ran past me. The Mission President here strongly encourages exercise each morning. It was fun to chat with them for a minute.
There is this little donut shop that I run past almost every morning and every morning my cute neighbor is there drinking his coffee with his friends. He is 75 or so. I always wave and say hi . Today he yelled at me to stop. He said, and I quote "This is the only time of day I get to talk to you without your old man or my old lady." His friends all started laughing and he hugged me. So FUNNY! I asked what we would do with all the witnesses and they promised not to tell.
Blessing: My husband... He truly is my best friend. Happy birthday to him!!! Big 33 today! | |

My legs are hammered. I am not use to running hills, seeing that I have been living a mile from the beach the last 8 months.
I am excited to strengthen my legs with the added hill work.
I got a little lost. I only meant to do 7 miles but ended up with 7.5. I guess an extra half is not that lost.

Blessing: "The Nativity Story" movie! SO GOOD!!! We watched it last night and I cried a lot. Ladies can you imagine having a baby in a stable with only your husband there to deliver your baby!? WOW! What a miracle! We each are truly blessed because of the birth of the Christ child. Merry Christmas!!!!! | |

TM run at 5AM. I don't know the details I just did it as fast as I could so I wouldn't be late for breakfast.
Went to breakfast with new running friends to "Burger Basket". Scary name I know! They all didn't want to run so I woke up early and ran 6 miles before we met at 6AM. So glad I did. I shared a breakfast burrito with one of the other ladies but I still don't care to know how many calories I ate. Super YUMMY!
Blessing: Good Friends.... I have been so very blessed with new friends this last year only to add to my life long friends I already have. Miss you my great Utah friends!!! Love you my new CA friends! | |
