4.5 in 40:11.  I hadn't turned on my garmin until .2 into it so really I ran 4.7.  I should have just gone to 5, but I was right by my house so decided to stop :).

Garmee isn't showing my workout in it's training history?  I don't know why.  So that stinks I can't read my splits. 

Avg. Pace 8:54

Nevermind, it's showing the splits, but it's saying that today's workout was on July 4 at 9:40 a.m.-- wierd, has anybody else had this problem before?  It's probably the gallon of sweat that seeps into it during every run.

Mile 1- 8:16

2- 8:50

3-8:54

4- 9:34

.5- 4:45

Ugh, I hate when i don't just get up and run.  Laid in bed forever debating, then decided yes.  Got up and started digging through the laundry basket to find my clothes.  And couldn't, then dumped the whole basket out and still couldn't find everything I needed.  After 5 minutes I gave up and crawled back into bed.

Have to pick up MIL at the airport after work but we should get back around 7 so maybe I'll go tonight. I atleast need to go lift and work on my legs since I haven't for a week!

PM MIL IS HERE! and I biked to gym and around for 5 miles.  Worked on legs, a little arms and abs at gym.  Oh yeah, and I got barked at by some boys driving by when I was biking. I guess that means I'm a dog? lol, high school age must be so fun for them.

Legs were lead. Heavy Heavy Lead.  I can't even post my splits because they are too embarrassing.  I don't know what the deal was but I was dragging.   The inside of my knee has been hurting since my race too.  So I was thinking this is fine, I'll take it super easy and super easy I took it pace wise but it didn't feel easy. 

Avg. Pace : 9:33

1- 8:36

2- 8:45

3- 8:59

4- 9:35

.18- 1:44 (9.18 pace)

Okay, this was mucho-mucho better!  The last mile is always a killer for me, but it felt good.  The only thing is that my left knee still hurts and i was very stiff and sore to start.  I'm running 10 on Saturday so I'm thinking I'll cross train tomorrow and give my legs a little rest from running.  I woke up late today and really only had time for 3 miles but decided I would sacrifice my job and run another mile even though I knew it would make me late, lol.  That's why I didn't have time to write more before.

So I was crossing the street at a 4 way stop light, it wasn't really my turn to cross, but there were no cars coming so I thought that would be okay.  So I'm running (not even slow) and this car comes flying up and honks at me.  Okay car, like that 2 seconds you had to brake really cost you a lot of time.  It just bugged me, like yeah it technically wasn't my time to cross but I was crossing fast and if he had been going the speed limit- 25 mph, he wouldn't have even come up on me that fast.   I just hate it when people honk, even when I'm driving.  Like I really cost him that much time, maybe 5 seconds. 

No miles today, tomorrow is one of my longer runs so I decided to take today easy peasy .

PS went to Oquirrh Temple Open House last night and thought about all the BBK'ers in that area.  It was so pretty!

I DID IT! No longer a 13.1 virgin and so happy.  I'll post more later but we've got a busy day- birthday parties, baptism, and showers. :)

Avg. Pace 9:50 and I'm okay with that for sure! This is the longest I have ever ran in my ENTIRE LIFE! Ever. And also it was more of a training run for me for Hobble Creek.  

So it wasn't quite 13.1, but close enough.  I walked around a lot after, so I'm counting it.  I think I took the wrong loop at the end and that's what cut it short.  Just following the leader ha ha. 

This was really fun, thank you to all of you who put this together! I loved the shirt, the treats after were fantastic and the company was the best.  It was so fun to meet all you people that seriously keep me going everyday!

I was feeling pretty good until about mile 10 and then it got a little rough but I was scared that if I started walking I wouldn't be able to start running again.  :)  I tried about 1/4 a thing of gu at mile 6 and it kind of made me sick so I decided not to take anymore.  I should have probably taken some at mile 9 but oh well. I finished!  My lower back is EXTREMELY sore and my knees feel like I have arthritis (what I imagine arthritis feels like) but I loved it. 

RED HOT PINK CHICKS ROCK!
