really just no time and when I run I try to relax so it is easy.  usually without a watch except when I try a fast mile.  so some premeditation in there at least.  otherwise i skip the watch.  so once a week I wear a watch.  i just run my 5 mile route forwards or in reverse to spice it up.  so green out.

5 easy no watch.  then off to cardiologist for my mom and a TMJ brace for my lower teeth.  I dont talk of it but it is a daily battle with a locking jaw and painful spasms to my head and neck on the right and when I eat suddenly my jaw locks up and sharp pain shoots all by mandible.  I have had this for years but just over the last two years it has gotten progressively worse.  I honestly wonder what it would be like to have a normal jaw with no pain to my neck and shoulder and face 24/7.    It actually takes a lot of my mental energy to just zone it out.  Kind of wearing on me after over 20 years.

Pacer for Goldilocks Half (1:40).  Ran 1:39:03.  Pouring rain from 2.5 miles to finish.  I was the leader until mile 7.  And then at mile 10 another girl passed me.  Very low key and more so with rain.  Beautiful course.  Right by Oquirrh Mountain Temple.  Mile 12 went right in front of it.  Hilly course.

saucony fives.  speed work at gym next to Jane. We decided on a lactate threshold run.  3 x 2 miles.  Ran 1.5 miles of a rather quick warmup.  Then 6:39 pace for my two milers increasing to 6:35 for last bit of second and third set.  Ran 3/4 mile in between second and third set.  Took potty break after first set so only ran 0.25 miles.

fell down the stairs of back yard porch.  Missed last step and badly sprained/possibly broke big toe.  No running for a few days.  Also bruised intenstly left knee.  I blacked out while I was falling.  It was scary and hurt a lot.

Toe normal size and no pain.  Just a bruise left.  But after five miles it ached and the next day as  I write this it is swollen again and tender to walk on so probably a fracture going on.  Oh well.  Ran up to AF high school from my house then the back way of AF half course to mouth of canyon.  One tiny stop to potty on way back.  Literally ran into Jane, Angie and Jen (I knew they were coming down but left earlier than I wanted but oddly enough leaving 50 minutes later from my house I caught them as they were reaching 9.5 miles and  I was approaching mile 8.  Yay.  So turned around and ran the same way back.  We stopped three times before finish.  But ran pretty quickly.  My toe was quite achy by that point. Also I am having daily headaches.  GRrr.    Went to Final game of State Cup and watched La Roca u14 win in Penalty kicks against Avalanche when they were down 3-1 with ten minutes left in the game.  Wow!!   Over time of two 10 minute halves and no score.  It was cool however  Ithink ref gave it to La roca. He let the game go over six minutes!! Crazy.  I don't mean that mean just that I have seen games be lost due to refs.  But hey I am not a ref.  Wouldn't want to be.    Oh yah, no watch today. Been watchless a lot lately.  Payson Temple Open House.  Nice!!  :D  saw Jen Hughes directing traffic.  Totally would be awesome to live right across the street from there!!

Memorial Day run with Amber. Brooke ran it with her friend Brooke.  Amber last year ran a mile every week in her fifth grade class. This year she did not and was without training except soccer practice once to twice a week.  She was out of breath but made it in 28:20.  Brooke and Brooke came in at 29:50.
