8 Total Marathons Short-Term Running Goals: Perfect my diet to run better, stonger and faster! Long-Term Running Goals: Run 3:15 marathon. Personal: I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well.

I almost forgot my username and password!!! I obviously haven't been using this blog enough. I have been running just not recording. I took 3 weeks off just after christmas because I had to have a minor surgery. Everthings fine. Other than that I have been running but not very seriously... mostly just fiddle farting around.
Today marks a new training cycle for me...

I wore shorts and T but, it was colder than I expected. It was foggy too.
Spent ALL day at Disneyland yesterday. My legs were tired this morning.
My 2 yr old was sooooo cute visiting the Princesses. Cindrellla is her favorite! She almost knocked Ariel down when she ran into her arms to hug her. She asked each of them if she could see their shoes. SO CUTE!!!

3x1600's 6:21, 6:24, 6:30 We run a loop around a park. There is some down hill and some up hill. They don't balance each other out because there is more down than up. I feel like we are cheating but it is the most convenient place to run our repeats at. I am guessing on a track we would be 6:30-35. During the last repeat on the up hill I couldn't get my legs to move. 4 sets upper body circuit 10 min Abs

| 1 WU, 5 Tempo, .5 CD Ran without a watch just by feel. Jackie had her watch. When she told me what our 3rd mile split was I let it affect me. I felt fine the first 3 miles but the last two were hard but we kept pace very consistent! Super Happy!!! Splits 6:57, 6:57, 6:53. 6:57, 6:49 (a little down hill) We have been doing our tempos around 7:15-7:10. So now are we supposed to try all of our tempos at this pace since we did it today? | |

Ran with Jackie at 2:30 in the afternoon. We drove home from Sacramento today. You would think since I live in CA it would be a short drive but.... 7 hours!!! Isn't that I little weird we live in the same state as my in-laws but it takes that long to get to their house? This run was HORRIBLE!!!! We ran Masters and I let it get the better of me today. I made it up half way then started walking. About 30 seconds into my walk I made myself turn around and go back to where I started walking and run to the top. I sorta redeemed myself but still a little bugged I gave in in the first place. My legs were on fire the entire run and my heart couldn't beat fast enough today. Really windy too.

3.5 mile WU... 5x800's with 400 recovery. I always walk these recoveries. Is that wrong? 800's... 3:05, 3:04, 3:04, 3:03, 3:02 Didn't pay close attention to watch ran by feel. SUPER happy with the consistency. For .05 of the 800 we are running down hill so I figure I need to add 3 seconds to each repeat to make the time a bit more accurate. 20 min upper body weights plus ABS

RAGNAR My first leg was in the heat and it was my least favorite of the 3. It was 5.7 AP 7:25 Killed 17 My second leg was 8.1..... found out the hard way that I shouldn't use Immodium. I was running to the bathroom so much during our off time I thought I needed to do something about it. The Immodium helped me not run to the bathroom but I spent the first two miles of my second leg running hunched over. I am sure I looked ridiculous. Got passed by a lot of people in the first two miles but ended up passing them all back. :) What? I am NOT competitive:) AP 7:57 Killed 19 In between legs 2 and 3 we went to a friends mom house and showered and layed down for about 45 min. We had to be back to meet our men's van at 3 AM.

Mile repeats today with Jackie... Jackie said every time after we finished a repeat she wanted to swear and would say to herself..."Son of a B". Made me laugh because I felt the same way. Today we worked on making our recoveries not last so long. We have a way of dragging them out. So we kept them to just walking a quarter mile after each. Seemed appropriate. The first repeat was fine. My watch read 6:19 and Jackie's read 6:16.. we were right next to each other. Second one HORRIBLE it was SUPER painful... we didn't rest long enough either. My watch 6:16 Jackies 6:13 again we were next to each other. Third was fine.... I didn't look at my watch at all and told myself to just run my best. My watch 6:26 Jackies 6:21. She wasn't that far ahead of me so I am counting it as 6:23 4th hard but ok... again didn't really look at watch told myself to run as relaxed and strong as I could. My watch 6:27 Jackies 6:19 we finished at the same time though. So I will just average my times with Jackie's watch since we ran side by side for each repeat except for the 3rd. 6:18, 6:15, 6:23, 6:23 Was going for 6:20-6:25 Should have taken the first two a touch slower and maybe could have averaged each at 6:20. Glad it is over... mile repeats are my least favorite speedwork out. Now off to finish painting my girls room.... tedious work with a two yr old helper. Wish me luck! Upper body weights and ABS

| Tempo this morning. I am getting better at running by feel. Didn't pay attention to watch till last mile. I felt strong for the first 5 and had to think about the last mile. I am really pleased with how this workout went. Expectation was low going into the workout because I have been sick. Exceeded my expectation. Splits 6:55, 6:55, 6:48, 6:55, 7:00, 7:01 Wish 3rd split was 6:55 then maybe my last two could have been under 7 too. My route is completely flat except for a .15 up and then .15 down. Running a down hill half on June 1st. Would love to break 1:30 hoping it won't be too difficult to do. | |

| Ran long with Jackie and Chris... Chris is Jackie's future Bro in Law... he is deaf so it is always fun to brush up on my minimal knowledge of sign and learn new signs. He is super patient.. I am sure signing with me is like talking to a baby. I was tired this morning. Legs were heavy. Dealing with a minor pain in my hip staying on top of it to make sure it doesn't turn major.

6x800's today. Wasn't expecting much today. My asthma and allergies are bad right now. Went into the workout telling myself don't look at your watch and just do your best. Was happy with the results. The workout felt harder then last time but I think my times weren't much slower than last time. Splits 3:04, 3:04, 3:08, 3:08, 3:08, 3:08 I ran these outside so I would say that is pretty AMAZING how ON I was and I didn't look at my watch!!! Was shooting for 3:10 so I came in under... I feel accomplished because I wasn't expecting much this morning but then that little voice in the back of my head keeps saying things like "You didn't run fast enough... and that was too hard for you." I am totally a mental runner. I get in my head and sometime sabotage myself. Working on that! Off to ice and stretch. My hip wants attention so it is acting up! Going into my Asthma/Allergy Dr. today!! So HAPPY! 10 min upper body

Last year I ran this race in 1:32... this year I really wanted to run under 1:30. Forecast for today was 97 so I knew that running 1:30 was a stretch considering the race didn't start till 7:30. The first 4 miles were fine. There was a lot of shade and I was feeling good. 6:51, 6:45, 6:52, 6:54 Miles 6 and 7 there was NO SHADE and it was soooo HOT already. 7:02, 7:15 Started realizing that sub 1:30 wasn't going to happen. I was OK with it. I had prepared myself for this possibility because of the weather. Some things you just can't control. I had been drinking 2 glasses of water at each station and dumping 2 over my head. It helped but just still so HOT!!!! The first 6 are down a canyon but for whatever reason coming down the canyon was so HOT. Once we got out of the canyon there was a tiny breeze and the last half of the race was cooler than the first half. Jackie told me at 6.5 she was DONE!!! I felt the same! We decided to WALK. Can you believe it? Lots of people started passing us. I could hear a few of them snicker..... kind of like... "Oh you ran too fast down the canyon and now you can't handle it." It didn't bother me so much especially because I paid attention to who they were and passed them all up again!:) The walk was nice and I told Jackie don't worry about it not a big deal it was too Hot and not worth it. We walked for almost a half mile. Mile 7 10:20 Starting running again and felt tired but Ok. We just ran easy for the next couple of miles and already starting passing some of the people who passed us while we were walking. 7:43, 7:27 I started feeling like I wanted to be DONE. It was so HOT and I felt like I really had to start working for the rest of the race. There were 3 women Jackie and I kept leap frogging with. She and I would take it really easy at the water stations and take our time. They would all pass us and then before the next water station we would pass them. We got ahead of them around mile 12 and I was just hoping they wouldn't pass me again. I really felt like I had to work for the last 2 miles. Jackie was a few steps ahead of me and I had to surge a couple times to get a bit closer to her. The last half mile you can see the finish line and it is a bit daunting. With about 200 meters to go I surged to Jackie and we started sprinting to the end. It was painful. I crossed just barely before her but knew I hadn't beaten her because she always waits to cross the start line a step behind me for situations like this..... she beat me by .02 of a second!!!!!!! We finished in the same second!!!!! We took 2 and 3rd in our age group!!!! I would have been sad if she was 3rd and I was 4th. I will have to remember at the next race that she does this and remember to cross the start after her. :) 7:31, 7:47, 7:51, 7:25 I talked to one of the ladies that we were leap frogging and she said she told her friend "Damn-it! these two girls kept walking and they still beat me!!!" We passed a guy around mile 12 and he said to us " You girls are doing pretty good for walking so much!" I thought that was pretty funny! Jackie and I wear the same clothes to each race. We call them our "team clothes". We are dumb... but people remember us. I am sure the picture of us crossing the finish line is GREAT we were sprinting so fast and everyone was cheering it was really fun! My husband and kids and mom were there and it was fun for my kids to see me race. My kids were so excited and they had been counting the women. They were so excited I was 14th.! Last year we finished 14 and 15th. (I was 14th by 20 seconds ;) but ran 6 min faster and this year we finished 13-14th so everyone's times were considerably slower. The heat is too hard to overcome.

| Super eventful. We witnessed a crash today. I lady ran into a light pole and knocked it down in front of us. Jackie flagged down a car to call 911. We ran up on the lady and her air bags had all gone off and she had blood running down her hands. She was ok her head and face were not bleeding. We waited till the ambulance got there and then we finished our run. I have been taking my daughter for a 1 mile run when I get back. She is having fun. Her goal is to do a 5k in the fall. :) She is 9. | |

| I have done so poorly on speedwork for several weeks. I have either given up in the middle or just not done it. Today was the first day back. The first two miles felt easy... I had to work for the last 4. I wanted to average 7:30 so I'm happy with the result Splits 7:27, 7:24, 7:22, 7:27, 7:29, 7:16 Before my bought of bad tempo's I clocked two 6 mile tempos at 6:55 average. I wonder if the 20 degrees in temp change is the difference or if the 6:55's were just really good days for me. | |

Just going off memory but our splits were
7:17, 7:10, 6:56, 7:10, 6:57, 6:44
We finsihed on the track and Jackie and I duked it out to the bitter end. I wanted to throw up from our last 200 sprint. It was FUN!
So glad my lungs are feeling sooo much better this week.
Courtney and Jeremy came too.

| Eventful run. Started at 4:30 with a coyote. I kept making lots of noise so he would know I was there and not try to eat me. Met Jackie .5 mile into the run.
Avoided being murdered at the our bathroom break at the park around mile 5. But just barely!!
Almost got hit by a car at dawn around mile 11.
The last 11 were a bit more boring. The last 7 I felt great!!! I kept keeping myself busy with thinking of new thing to talk about with Jackie so we wouldn't think about the miles.
Finished our last mile off at 7:36. It always feels nice to finish strong.
Took half a gu at miles 7 and 18. Drank more gatorade than water cause I had a hard time getting the gu's down today.
We always start out so slow... our last 7 were 8:15 and under.

| So Happy!!!!!! My goal for the race was 3:15 and I would have accepted anything below 3:20. I am so happy with my time and so happy with my effort. I can't say much of the race was "easy" but I had so many miles that I felt strong! I PR'd by 10 min!:) It was very cold this morning. It took about 6 miles for my feet to defrost. I felt like I was running on bricks till they warmed up. 1-7 I was cold and the pace felt OK I got to the 10k averaging 7:18. My husband was at the bottom of veyo with water in squirt bottles. He ran alongside Jackie and I while we drank so we didn't have to stop. That was so helpful. I ate 5 stingers just before we saw him and used my inhaler just after. 7:26, 7:22, 7:19, 7:16, 7:20, 7:10, 7:13 8-12 We made it up veyo strong. My breathing wasn't too labored. My legs were tired but that is to be expected. I high fived jackie when we made it too the top. This was the first of a few mental markers I had set for myself to make it through. The next mental marker was to make it through to mile 12. Jackie dropped back a couple times through these miles but I would call back to her to "come on" and she would close the gap each time. I started feeling worried because these miles are hard with the uphill and I was just tired. 7:39, 7:46, 7:36, 7:55, 7:40 13-19 I lost Jackie at the 13 mile water stop. I was sad to not have her there and I hoped she would still have a strong race that she would be proud of. I took 5 more stingers just before the water stop at 13 and used my inhaler again. My lungs were getting tired. 14-16 are my favorite part of the race. They are beautiful miles and the down hill here feels so good because my legs were not too hammered yet. Courtney Meldrum met me at 16 to run with me. I started crying when I saw her. I was happy she was there to help. 16-19 were rough miles for me so no matter what Courtney said to me I felt mad at her. She made me stop at 18 too get a good puff on my inhaler. That helped sooooo much and then my knee on my right leg started tightening so I stopped at 19 to get icy hot rubbed on me. It felt soooo good when the young guy was rubbing it on my leg that I think I was a little emmbarrising the way I was holding onto his shoulders and groaning. Hehehe! Some where in here Courtney also gave me 2 ibuprophen which I didn't want to take but oh my gosh! They were magic!!!! I also ate 5 more stingers just before 18. 7:31, 7:28, 7:00, 7:02, 7:28, 8:03, 8:09 20-26.2 I felt so strong!!!!!! Courtney kept picking people in front of me to pick off. Everytime I would say I can't catch them and then I would follow it with "I can". I passed each person she told me too. :) I yelled her name several times through out these miles like it was a swear word. It felt so good to yell at her and she understood. My husband joined us at mile 22. It was so fun too have him there too. He said all the right things and I could see how proud of me he was. That kept me going more than anything else. 24-26 were so hard but I kept strong. I kept talking to myself out loud which is so nerdy. I kept saying "You are strong, your mind is in control of your body!" I realized that no matter how many times Courtney and Jon said that too me it wouldn't have matter if I didn't believe it myself. SOOO happy Courtney was there and so happy to have my husband there. Love them both!!!! 7:30, 7:26, 7:18, 7:28, 7:18, 7:34, 7:27, 1.36 Today was my 10th marathon. My first marathon was 4:51:??. I am so happy with how far I have come. I have learned so much through trial and error. Today was such a nice pay off!!!!! :) | |
