Timing Nursing my baby around exercise has been a bit of a challenge but my husband has been so supportive and flexible and so have my running friends. They always let me tell them when I can go and they work their schedules around when my baby needs to eat. It has been awesome. I am looking forward to being able to run in the morning again. I think it will be a couple of months yet, until little E is on a more regular schedule. | |

My legs were so tired. Probably still recovering from my longer run on Saturday.
My baby has been sleeping so well. 9PM-7AM. I should get back to early morning running but I don't want to wake her to feed her. There is no way I can go until she has nursed...so not really sure what to do. I guess I will just keep doing what I am doing.
I would love to hear what any other breast feeding mom's are doing. | |

5 with Amber. Amber lives at the top of a two mile hill. Not gradual, very steep. I told her we are not starting at her house any more.:) It was brutal!!
Woke up even earlier to pump. Not sure if it was worth it. I guess one day a week is okay.

I felt pretty sluggish today. Still got in 12 on my own.
Running at an easy pace has been pretty nice. I think I will start adding in speed work after Ragnar. My pace also seems to be naturally coming down as I continue to lose the baby weight. 7 more lbs. to go. :) I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel. It has not been easy to lose weight while nursing my little one.

RAGNAR HUNTINGTON TO CORONADO ISLAND
I Loved this race!!! I had so much fun with my friends!!!! Besides having to pump in the car since I am still breastfeeding, I loved everything about this race. I will be doing it again next year for sure.
My day started at 4:30 AM and basically I didn't sleep again until 10 PM Saturday night. I was completley exhausted to get up for 9 AM church but it was so worth it.
8:15 AM Run - I was the first runner so it was so fun to start the race. 4.9 miles AP 8:22 Started out to fast but who doesn't at a race?
8:05 PM Run- Ran with a guy for 7 miles he was my protected on the 2.5 miles of trail running. Almost sprained my ankle like 7 times. There were also a ton of frogs croaking away. 9.3 miles AP 8:44 | |

Last leg for the Ragnar.
5:47 AM Run...5.5 miles AP 8:48
This is the leg I am the most proud of. During the first mile 5 people passed me but my intent was to take the first mile slow and then see what happened. Along came a great big steep hill and the 4 men and 1 women that past me in the first mile I breezed past. Never to see them again after that. :) I am so proud of my splits too.
9:51, 8:41, 9:07 (big hill mile), 8:12, 8:28, 4:19 (last half mile 8:04 pace)
I am so excited that 5 months post giving birth I was able to AP under 9. It gives me encouragment to think that at SGM I might be able to get ready to run a 3:30. I would really love to run 3:30!!! | |

Ran with Jackie, Flory, and Amy. It was a little rainy this morning but I love to run in the rain so it was perfect. Nothing like running in the rain in a tank top.

According to my training plan I am supposed to be keeping all of my miles around 9:25 this week. It is supposed to be a rest week. Is it going to affect my training by running my rest miles too fast? | |

Did a warm up and cool down. In between I ran an all out mile...6:26
A few things I think about this mile... I could have run faster if it was on an actual track and I also could of run faster if it wasn't 80 degrees when I ran it. Still I am happy with 6:26 just think I could have run it 10-15 seconds faster in different conditions. | |

Weights with Jackie.
Jackie came over and we did a Jillian Micheals workout that we got out of a magazine. It was tough. Especially with the interuptions of the 4 of our 8 children who were with us.
I decided I am going to start posting my weight again for myself. It is finally not at an embarassing number following the birth of my angel. Still it needs to come down a bit. I would like to be around 125 for SGM. Not sure if that is possible for my body while I am breastfeeding but we shall see. | |

I'm not sure how I feel about the race. In a nut shell I didn't feel great but I didn't feel terrible... just a little off. I had to stop to use the bathroom which is always annoying. I went inro the race knowing I wasn't prepared to run a PR but I did want to run strong and feel good. I ran just OK. The last 4 miles were torcher!! I had to talk myself through every step. I wanted to walk so bad but didn't so I guess that is a bonus. This was good mental preparation for the marathon.

I stopped to go to the bathroom around mile 5.5 so you can see for 2-3 miles afterwards I was trying to make up some time but then I just burned out at the end. Oh well... live and learn.

I had no juice in my legs today. It was pretty hard but I pulled it off... sort of.
I needed to run a 7:58 AP which I ran faster so I shouldn't be dissapointed but I am because I had to walk between mile 5 and 6 for about a quarter mile and mile 6 was really hard.

Ran 20 this morning so that I could sleep in this weekend for my BDAY!!!!
Tried to run the last 5 at marathon pace. Did really well for 3.5 but gave up the last 1.5. In my defense it was all up hill.... but still I am not happy that I gave in. Next 20 I am going to do the same route and conquer it instead of giving in.

3rd 1600 I did by feel and didn't pay attention to my watch so I was pretty dead on. | |

Pilates.. I really like it. It relaxes me. I have been really sore from Mondays pilates workout. Every time I pick up my baby and put her on my hip I am reminded that muscles I didn't know I had got worked.
Blessing: My 4 yr old did pilates with my today and when we were done he pointed at his bicep and said "Mom, look my muscles got bigger. " If it were only that easy to get into shape. :) | |

Was supposed to do 9 but I wanted to get home so my husband could exercise too so I cut off a half mile from my warm up and just didin't do a cool down.
PM tempo run

Felt good, pace didn't feel hard and I didn't feel even once during the tempo that I wouldn't be able to do it.
I have a a few Mantras that are working for me.

3.3.5 ( my goal is 3:35 at SGM)
CAN, DO (I can so just do it :)

When we ran Monday we ran past a DEAD BODY and didn't even know it!!!! Later that morning I was going to run errands and drove along one of the streets we ran that morning and there were cop cars all over the place and they were putting up crime scene yellow tape. It wasn't that far off the road either so I am guessing if it was light we might have been the ones to discover it. Thank goodness it was Dark!!! Later that day on the news we heard about the body and me and my running friends were FREAKING out!!!

Ran with Ana and Jackie.
I love that 16 feels easy! We ran up up and up. We wanted to have the last 3 miles be down. Because of where we live we are super stong up hill but now we are feeling nervous about all the down at the end of SGM. You all no how hard down can feel at the end of a marathon. We are going to be focusing on down hill from now till the marathon.
Our new slogan... You have to go up to come down! ( we did decide it could be in-appropriate, especially in Burt's mind! We did not mean it that way. :)

It's DONE and it was AWESOME! I chewed it up and spit it out!
Seriously one of the best training runs I have had for that distance.
My last mile split time was 8:06!!!
It was super hot today. 75 at 5 AM and when we finished it was over 90. We hydrated really well and we ran a trail with lots of trees so we had lots of shade.
SO HAPPY! | |

So Happy!!!! The whole week before the marathon I spent so much time analyzing what was the right way to run the race to be succesful. I was so mentally exhausted by Thurs afternoon that I wanted to scream. I came to the conclusion... I am doing this for fun and I am sucking all the fun out of it. I have trained really well and really smart so come race day I will just let the chips fall where they may and hope for the best. As you all know there are plenty of things out of are control on race day and we all spend too much time worrying about what we can't change....weather, sickness, time of the month (sorry men), etc.
Thankfully my baby weened herself from breast feeding a week before the race so I didn't have to worry about bringing a breast pump....so one thing I got to check of my worry list. (again sorry men) :)
Race Morning... woke at 3:45 AM read, prayed, dressed, potty, ate banana with Peanut Butter and a asiago cheese bagel only took a sip of water because I have a loose bladder. :) I made sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday of the week leading up to race day to insure I was well hydrated.
Rode bussed with Ana, Jackie, Flory, Joe and friend. Got to start line around 6:10 and went straight to the bathroom line. Jackie, Ana, Flory, Joe, and I were the last ones to make it into POP before gun went off. Crossed start line about 4 min behind.
The only miles I told myself I would pay attention to my watch were the first 3 to make sure I did not go out too fast. I felt really calm and really prepared. The two things I told myself over and over durning the first 14 miles were "Conserve" and "Trust in the Lord with all thy might mind and strength." I knew I needed to make it to mile 14 feeling great and having plenty of energy so I held back and made sure I ran comfortable the whole way. I knew miles 8-12 could be slower because they were an uphill grade so I didn't panic when my splits were slower. I honestly didn't take mental notes at each mile because I was just enjoying the race and focused on keeping myself calm and focused.
Just before each water stop I took two energy chews and then drank a gatorade and a water at each stop. I did this till mile 15 and then I took 3 energy chews at this mile. I had a hard time getting them down. I kept burping and almost throwing them up. My stomach was feeling off and then my heart starting raceing and it scared my for a minute. I calmed myself down and I slowed down and took it easy till I felt okay. I also decided that I would not take the energy chews any longer. They had caffeine in them so I was worried they were affecting my heart. I did train with them though and never reacted this way. I was worried about not eating anything from 15 on but I felt it was a better choice then chancing me puking or having a problem with my heart. At each water stop after this I drank two glasses of gatorade for the calories and one glass of water. I dumped water on me a couple of times just to avoid getting hot but don't remember which miles. At mile 19 I started getting goose bumps and I felt myself start panicing thinking my body was going into shock. Again I calmed myself down and slowed a bit too make sure everything was OK.
I truly felt good this whole race. I can't say I felt that it was my best running day physically but it was definatley a great mental running day. I was able to keep things in perspective and not panic. I ran comfortable the whole time and really enjoyed the experience. Having said that it makes me wonder if I could have run faster but again at what cost? I may have crossed the finish line delirious or may have pushed too hard and ended up walking at the end. Who knows.. all I know is I PR'd by 11 min and enjoyed every step of the way.
In reading others blogs so many people felt affected by the heat but I honestly was not hot the entire race. I was wearing a hat and I also wonder if I was better contioned for the heat since I live in CA.
My boston time for 2013 needs to be 3:35:00 so I am 5 seconds over which is ridiculous but I did qualify 2012 needing a 3:40. Too bad it is already full. Although, I do feel that too many of us use Boston as our measurment for success and don't enjoy the journey. I am enjoying the success of this race... boston or not.
My legs are SUPER sore and I am really not enjoying walking like and old woman. I am enjoying the piggy back rides up the stairs from my husband!!! :)

PM run with Jackie and Ana. Jackie already did her tempo run for the week so the girls were nice enough to run an out and back route so they could keep an eye on me.
I didn't really pay attention to my watch and wanted to run more by feel. I was really surprised at the outcome. It must have been a good running day for me. :)
Pace was challenging but I never felt like it was too hard.
Splits 7:20, 7:06, 6:58, 7:11, 7:17, 7:05, 1:08 for .2 --Total 44:18 for 10k-- AP 7:09
The thing I kept telling myself is something Jackie said to me in St. George "You are faster (or Stronger, I can't remember) than you think you are." Jackie has so much confidence in my ability as a runner. That really helped me to have confidence in myself for this run. :) | |

With Ana and Jackie. Felt good...was easy.
We laughed a lot. Ana said Good A Mate to a teenager and practically made her fall off her bike. Good times!

I finished this race saying that I hated it and didn't want to run another marathon for a long time. The next morning I woke thinking that I wanted to run it again...Aren't we runners silly!
I ran this marathon to support Jackie. We trained for and ran St. George marathon just a few weeks ago. Unfortunatley Jackie was puking the last 8 miles and wanted a do over. Orginally I was just going to come to Santa Barbara and cheer for her but then I figured I might as well get another marathon under my belt and a bit more experience. I am happy I ran it and feel like each marathon I have run whether good or bad I always learn something important for the next one.
I had to talk myself through almost every mile and seriously considered walking the last 7. Jackie turned to me at mile 2 and said this feels easier than St. George and I was thinking and said "not to me". Jackie and I ran only the first 5 together and then she got caught in the 3:30 pace group and I backed off. She slowed a bit and I caught up to her around 11 I think but we only ran together for maybe another 1/4 mile. She started to speed up and I wasn't feeling it. I could see her till about mile 19.5 where I took a walk break and lost sight of her.
Okay so onto the mile break downs.
1-7 Feeling okay not great but also thinking I was going to give it what I had for the day so just kept on. Splits 8:06, 7:49, 7:48, 8:03, 7:46, 8:10, 8:10
8-12 Still feeling about the same. Our mom's were waiting for us at mile 9 with fuel. It was nice to see them. Splits 8:18, 7:54, 7:57, 8:31, 8:24
13-18 Mental torcher. I was thinking just hang on till 18 where I knew my mom was waiting again with more fuel. We ran along a trail for most of these miles and I thought I hated it but thinking back had I not mentally been struggling these miles would have been really fun. I really kept expecting to feel okay "the next mile" but it just didn't happen this race. I also was running near a guy that would not let me pass him. Every time he saw me over his shoulder he would speed up just enough so I couldn't pass him. At water stops I would end up passing him but then he would always take the lead again. Splits 8:22, 8:25, 8:20, 8:38, 8:35, 8:29
19- I felt a bit of a pick me up at this mile and I decided I was going to go for it and see what I could do. 8:19
20-26.2 Don't know what happened but my pick me up back fired. I started having knee trouble. I could barely bend my right knee. I had to walk about a quarte mile and then every time I tried to pick up the pace just a little it would stiffen again so I really had to take it easy. This is where I started toying with the idea of walk running till the end but then new I would be dissapointed if I didn't do my best for the circumstances. There was a water stop every mile so I told myself no walking excpet through the water and that seemed to really help me to be able to take a quick breather at every mile. Mile 23-24 was crazy!!! There was the biggest hill of the whole race which was about a half mile long and the wind was blowing soooo hard. I ran the whole thing but every time I looked at my watch I was running over an 11 min mile.. just couldn't go any faster. I ran past the guy who wouldn't let me pass him earlier on and I thought he would do the same thing again but.... I beat the sucker. That's what you get for thinking you are better than a girl!! :) The last two miles I was singing the songs that were playing on my ipod out loud and it felt GOOD! I loved looking a bit crazy because I sure felt a bit crazy at this point. Splits 10:06, 9:16, 9:33, 9:28, 10:14(hill), 8:43, 8:48, 3:16 Watch read 26.40.
Now that I have had time to reflect on this race I really want to run it again. I thought I hated the course but I think I really actually like it. It was a pretty flat course and I think I might have been able to run it faster than St. George if I had more time in between.I also thought that I hated that it was a smaller marathon but I think I enjoyed that it was a different experience. I want to run it on fresh legs and not 6 weeks after a previous marathon but I will always run the St. George marathon so that will probably never happen.
So happy I ran this marathon even though it was rough. I am so proud of myself for being mentally tough and I am so happy that Jackie ran a good time... she ran 3:40:04. So proud of her!!!

ODE to ANA and BRITTA's AWESOMENESS.
We passed two men runners today and they were not old or fat. I did feel a little bad when we saw the look on the first guys face. He seemed to be thinking "is this really happening?"
Our pace is naturally coming down which is exciting. I am so happy to have found running friends who are committed to putting the miles in. This would be a lot less fun on my own. Love to Ana and Jackie.. you girls are the best.

5 mile tempo with jackie, Ana has flu :(.
tempo splits 7:24, 7:23, 7:23, 7:14, 7:06
Miles two and three I am figuring would have been about 7-10 seconds faster each but jackie was not feeling well so I did some waiting for her and running back to her to check on her. My tempo pace seems to be right around 7:15 right now. Which is great I can see the improvement. I would love to average 7:30 for SGM 2012 so I am trying to keep on my speed work and keep the miles up. | |
