| Recovery run. 1/2 mile with Courtney, my daughter. She wants to start to run again to get better in soccer. Then 2.6 miles while Courtney was getting ready for school at 8:50. Then called Kim and ran easy with her. I made her go slow on purpose. She needs easy runs for recovery from Saturday. AP for 5.7 miles = 8:30. First two miles over 9. Chatted and had a relaxing run while her kids were watched by my 10 year old and my husband who at the time we left was asleep. Surprise for him!! My kids were all ready for school when I got back. And they were HAPPY : D. |

| I love it when you get and email titles "Congratulations (from ST George Marathon)" and think just maybe, maybe they forgot my name on the list and are writing to tell me. Then I open the email and it says "we regret to inform you that you didn't make it in but then lists charities to try etc... WHATEVER!! I don't know why but I feel less spunk now that I am NOT in the SGM. UVM was all for training for SGM and to see where my fitness level was. I hope I can regain my mental focus. I still believe I can run a 3:10 there. I am just not sure how into it I am without out my favorite fall marathon. Blah, blah. BLAH!! I will get over it I am sure I will. But it is VERY odd that MANY people I know did NOT get in. It was like the chances of getting in were more like 25% then 75%. I thought there were 7500 entries with 10,000 applications? But maybe there were a lot of THREE TIMES a charm and 10 year clubbers. So far no one in my neighborhood got in-- Jane, Kim, Kerri, Adrienne, Taunya and myself. Also Josse and my sister and Michelle and her sister. Weird Science. Anyway today ran 4 miles to the PG rec. Then two on the TM then right into 5 x 600s (.38 miles) at 1 % with 90 sec in between at 8:49 pace. FELT VERY NICE. First one 6:15. Second one 6:15. Too easy so 6:11. Then 6:11. Then AP for last one 5:58 probably but I got down to 5:49 for a good portion. Brief cooldown on the TM then ran home to get 13 even. AP for 5 on the mill = 7:22. AP for 8 outside nice and easy (last mile 7:22 however)= 8:13. |

| AP 8:03. 445am. So tired during run having taken 1/2 a benadryl tab before bed. There is something in the air giving me a headachce and burning eyes. Ran for 7 miles before work with 8 by 100 meter strides. Paces fun-- 5:49 to 6:10. Currently VERY tired. Going to bed soon. Work again tomorrow. |

| Nice and easy, well sort of--- I was really tired dragging my bod out of bed to get those darn miles in before work. Nice that I could wear shorts. Got in a 7:27 mile the last one because I noticed I was running out of time for a shower. Took too much time contemplating just getting out the door. Hurried off to work. I call my daily work triatholon---RUN, SHOWER, CLOCK IN TO WORK in record time. I am always trying to beat the clock it seems. I need a NICHE moment. Which basically means an attitude about not caring whatsoever about time and just doing at the moment what feels good/right-- cartwheel if you want, run backwards, laugh, love, play, hopscotch, backbend, SMILE. AP for 6.2 = 8:15. Canyon run in the am-- the UVM course : D. |

| No sleep last night. My husband pointed out that it was hot. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't fall asleep. Had to close my windows as neighbors BRIGHT light and NOISE (from kids' night games) added to my problem of getting to sleep. I was up every hour. And I felt achy, bones and joints. Allergies? Anyway picked up Melanie at Vivian park (she was running 12 miles and I 20 miles). I parked my other car at the mouth of Provo Canyon. My dear husband drove us up to Wallsburg and got us there for a 6:15am start. It was chilly at first but then became quite nice. Ran miles 1.5 to 19.5 of the UVM course. It is hard to find the right road of the start so we just drove up the canyon 18 miles heading towards Wallsburg. What a nice springy day. Melanie felt great so she kept me alive the first 9 miles that I wanted to run slow but it didn't turn out that way. We were doing awesome on all those hills. It is NOT an easy course for those first 15 miles. Anyway ONLY had ONE water stop at Mel's ending (12 miles) and then I was off on my own for the last 6 miles to the mouth of the canyon. To get in 18 miles I had to go beyond the light under the bridge on University past the parking lot then turn around to run back to the parking lot to get 18 even. Pace for 18 miles = 7:04. Splits: 8:01, 7:28, 7:12, 7:04, HILL- 7:14, bigger hill 7:18, 6:47 a little break from the hills, 7:09 (more hills), 7:17 and more HILLS, 6:48, 7:03, bye Melanie!!, 6:51, and yet ANOTHER HILL-- 7:04, 6:42 (living for the down hill : D) , 6:48, 6:46, 6:43, those last three were only slight downhill, 6:49 ( last bit uphill as I turned around). FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THINGS. NOT EVEN feeling it YET. OFF to WORK I go for half a shift. Happy DAY!! : DDDDDD |
