| 7am 0.55 miles with Courtney. She asked me again to run with her.
Not quite ready for a mile. I tried to convince her but didn't want to
make it negative so didn't push her. Pace 10:22. Then after
kids left for school I ran outside (9am). Goal was to go super
ridiculously easy. My knees have been aching a lot lately. Pretty
much since the fall. So I am trying to give myself a break and run
TRUE recovery runs. Well I felt like I was running in slow motion and
ran my hilly route in reverse. It was VERY icy in a LOT of areas
whereI slowed to a standing jog. It was so nice to go SUPER easy. I
thought for sure my pace was over 9:00 AP. I actually NEVER once
looked at my watch. Amazing for me. I could hear the mile beeps so I
knew how far I had gone. My average pace ended up being 8:37 for 10.25 miles!!
I seriously felt extremely slow. I don't think my heartrate was even
at exercise zone. Hopefully fatburning zone. My knees however are
still pretty achy and I am very achy in many joints. So this was a
GREAT day to take it easy. Although it was ice and snow conditions the
SUN managed to make an appearance : DDDDD!!!

| Blah blah. just keep moving. to pass the winter duldrums away. to the rec center with troy at 920am. Ran 4 mile warm up ended at 8 pace started at 8:57. Then ran 16 by 1 minute on/off like this: 4 @ 9.6 mph (6:15) and 6 @ 9.7 mph (6:11), all with ONE minute recovery at 7.5 mph (8:00 pace) and 1 % incline. Then took a "breather" and ran 1/2 mile at 8:34 to 8:00 pace and ran 4 more one minute ons at 9.7 mph and off at 7.5 mph. Then ran another 1/2 mile at 8:20 to 8:00 pace contemplating getting this done already and finally ran the last two. One at 9.7 mph and one at 10 mph average (6:00). Cooldown. Total miles 10. My left knee is bugging me. The TM is ridiculous. IT SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY after 9 mph. |

| Didn't think my daughter would be this persistent...she awoke me at 5:30am to run her 1/2 mile. I had to work at 6am. Should have just got up at 5am and got in at least three. It was cold and foggy. I couldn't find my ear muffs so glad I was only going 1/2 mile. Actually ran 0.6 miles @ 10:12 pace with my new 12 year old running partner Courtney : D. Long day at work. Then climbed to the top of the rock roll at Lehi's Trafalga. It looks easy but is actually very hard. Must remember to cut nails even shorter if I try that again. Doesn't help that I am afraid of heights. And Amber, my 8 year old kept talking to me the whole time. I was concentrating on not slipping so couldn't talk. My arms and fingers were shaking when I got done. I think I will stick with the plank. Been pretty lazy with those lately since my fall. |

Okay, plans drastically changed after a sleepless night....I was supposed to work this morning at 6am so begrudgingly set my clock to wake me at 4:30am in order to get some kind of run in for the day--hoping for 6 miles. I tried to get cancelled today just because but no such luck, no call last night...but what to my wondering ears should occur? the phone rings JUST AFTER I am suited up in my RUNNING gear at 4:37am!!! "I am placing you on call"....great but NOT so great. I was so tired getting dressed but between then and fully dressed I had convinced myself that I could get out there and no longer could crawl back into bed. With my luck I would just be called in as I drifted off for two hours more of sleep.....so I just got out there and ran in the FROZEN TUNDRA, I mean gee whiz why are my muslces so tight (besides my ROCKWALL climb last night, big mistake) and why won't a thing loosen up a bit? Oh yah....I am frozen STIFF. My cheeks both types were numb and stinging but I just kept trotting along thinking surely it is NOT that cold out. Well it turns out it was/is 20 degrees and with the fog/inversion it made it feel colder to the bone. I was hoping to "crash" Mel and Kim's run but I had no idea when or where they were meeting. I figured Kim's house around 6am so I circled Kim's house five times with no such luck. Unfortunately Kim lives on a good hill so climbing THAT five times was not that thrilling. Frost was every where, especially my eyelashes and hair. I am still thawing out and can't wait to finish this report and get in a warm shower ASAP. AP only 7:55 for 15.1 miles. I never stopped having tight achy muscles the whole run. Bummer. Splits for fun: 9:04, 8:32, 8:20, 8:10, 7:53, 7:54, 7:57, 7:51, 7:47, 7:37, 7:38, 7:34, 7:21, 7:38, 7:35, 0.1 @ 7:06. I guess not to bad as the TIN WoMAN. Off to my shower. AFTERNOON (2pm, 7 hours after finishing my last run)-- no kids and no work. What to do? Run again of course. Pace slow at first and knees feel like they might give out. Ever since the fall I feel I was put back together wrong. Anyway got energized in the SUN and MUSIC that I picked it up pretty good. Splits: 8:54, 8:40, 8:07, 7:51, 7:05. AP for 5 = 8:07. Could have done more, but that would have been even MORE insane : D.
