Day 1 Making the Cut

Nice Nice Nice, Today was nice.  After all the hills on Saturday, I was glad to run on flat ground today.  Ran from my house to the track, around the track 4 times and then back home.  It was brisk out there today, I loved it.  I don't know how I ever enjoyed running in the stuffy, hot, sweaty gym. sick.

Am I feeling shredded?  oh yeah.  Actually anytime I start a diet it seems like I focus more on what I'm eating so then I think about food more, and then I eat more.  Even if it's good for you food I still eat more.  Freak.

Wanted to do more today but I woke up super late and this is all i could squeeze in before I had to get ready for work.  It's just too bad that sleep is my best friend.

It was gloomy when I woke up so I was a sissy and rolled back to sleep.  And now all day I'm going to feel guilty for not running.  And I knew I was going to feel guilty, but for some reason I can't convince myself enough to get up.  Maybe I'll go tonight, otherwise I'll start up strong tomorrow!

I ran to Gold's, did abs and quads, and then ran back.  This is the first time I have ever run to the gym and I was nervous I was going to get there and be too dead and tired to run back home and I would be trapped there forever! But here i am at work, so needless to say I survived. 

I don't know how long it took me, Merri- Can you bring your stop watch Saturday?  Thank you so much. 

All in all with work out and run i was gone 1 hour. 

A few things I learned today while running Provo Canyon with Merri and Wes:

I need a garmin, I didn't realize how slow I was going.  On Merri's garmin 9 min miles felt like my pace, maybe a little faster.  I really want to get down to mid 8's.   I can do it on the treadmill easy breezy.

Merri, you are such a good runner! Well i already knew that but it's fun to watch you in action speedster. 

The wind is such a beast when it's blowing right in your face before you get up into the canyon.   

I ran the first 2 miles with Merri and Wes in 18 and then slowed down and ran by myself.  We ran up 3.5 and back down 3.5.  The way back down was basically me concentrating to put one front in front of the other.  I don't know why it was so hard for me today.  I didn't sleep great last night so that's what I'll blame it on.  But I just woke up from a nap, so I'm feeling good.
