Got kids out to the pool, caps and goggles in place and off on my 10 miler.  Was going to run 8 here then run two at home but decided to go the distance knowing my 10 year old would just read her book and my other two girls would play on the newly placed in playground.  I ran to the canal nice and easy then south on the canal until past the Orem soccer fields.  My joints were achy.  Aged bones don't take a beating very well.  It felt like I had no fluid in my spine, bone hitting bone.  That's women and running.  Decided to take my vitamins again and some probiotics.  Was very hungry as I finished.  Didn't eat enough yesterday and didn't eat before the run.  Pace for 10.34 miles =  8:36.  I may swim tomorrow instead of run.  My body will probably enjoy the buoyancy.

Nice long run, and really a brisk pace! Probably smart to listen to your body.

Allie- Yes, and hope with my once ridiculously adrenaline-depleting schedule I can pull off a PR. After not really ever sitting down last night at work, sick baby admit at 330am, I had to take my girls to swim team time trials at 630am. Stayed there until 9:10 am. And oh boy what an out of body experience. Especially the loud noises from the pool and the really chilly temps for my kids to be in and out of the pool with. I was standing the whole time. My body was disconnecting and my muscles were peeling from my body. Every part of me was like, must sleep soon......it is quite the experience. Needless to say I fell asleep at 930am and woke at 315pm. Nearly six hours, Yahoo!! Not going to run today. Not even swim. I am going to try and rescue myself....tonite is another night. All babies must remain healthy, please!!! PS We definitely should see each other, hit or miss, the competition should be minimal, so Allie stay with the guys!! See you there!!
