Long-Term Running Goals: I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.
Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:) Personal:

| We drove up to Idaho Falls to visit the in-laws. My mother-in-law signed me up for this race before my injury so I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it. I drove up with my sister-in-law's who also ran the race. It was windy and cold with some sprinkles but seemed to not effect the race too much. I figured I could at least run marathon pace for a workout and decided to leave my watch at home. About 150 or so runners, lots of high school kids. Wasn't planning to place whatsoever, so it was a bonus to win this smaller race, 11th overall with males. Felt fine and never pushed the pace so my back and glut were undisturbed- but I did taste pennies afterwards. A clear sign my cardio has gone south. Great fundraiser for scholarships! |

| This morning I planned to run 5 miles, but had to turn around after a couple minutes. My hamstring and glut are pretty sore. Likely a bike ride or walk tonight. This is getting annoying. | | Comments(2) |

7.5 total cross train at gym.1.5 hours. 3 miles elliptical 1.5 miles on treadmill 3 miles bike Had to cut back intensity several times so it was hard to get a cardio workout, last 30 minutes started to elevate. Rolled out muscles afterwards. For sure out this weekend for UV Half. Do you think I need to tell the race director since he gave me a complementary entry? It will be fun regardless to cheer everyone on! FRB members are going to do really well!

| 6 miles down and back on Main. No back pain for two days straight, still working on the hammy and glut with some progress. I didn't realize how much I had injured my hamsting/glut after the 30K. Looking back at my training, it is clear why that happened. I did not prep properly for that long run or race it no less. Grateful for the blog and what it teaches me. Another realization I have come to understand is that if I hadn't hurt my back the next day after the 30k, I think I would have ignored my injury and continued to push. It could have been much worse. So the back injury was a blessing in disguise. It made me rest without much choice. I think we have to all have to reframe these setbacks to accept disappointments and grow from them...or we'll always be down and negative no matter what. Huh. Happy running today! |

| Cheered and ran with several friends running UVM. Crazy wind in the canyon, but otherwise good day. Why did I wear jeans and a sweater? Good call on the stretchy jeans though. No serious pain, just need to cut off my right glut and I think this will all go away. |

| 5 easy down main, well slow, not easy. I really want to start some speed again, but not sure when I dare to do that. Just running is boring without a long run, speed work or tempo. Try it sometime for 6 weeks. Oh and make sure you don't go over 5 miles at a time. That would be too fun. geeze. |

| I must have slept with my leg behind my head. Pain this morning for no reason. 3 miles cross train. I think I need to put all races planed on the back burner with hopes of a fall marathon. It's too exhausting following this injury, it is so unpredictable of when it is going to flare up Between my back and glut, they take their turn acting up. I think a clear calender will do some good, although lead to a very boring summer. What is summer without long runs? I'll make whatever races I can but with no pressure. Maybe this will all heal faster that way. Maybe it's time to join the Master's Swim team at the Rec center. I've been waiting for the right time to do that. SO I guess I run if I can, cross train if I can't. Dumb plan. | | Comments(3) |

| Met with Kam for easy 8. Stayed around 9:00 pace which felt slow, but exactly what I needed today. I was glad he didn't encourage the pace. He brought along his son in a stroller. I was teasing him that if he could run uphill with his stroller at somehow the same time I am running downhill with Heeleys, it would be an even effort for us both. |

| Fun race to kick of Allie and James wedding day. Tons of people from the blog. Met Brooke on the blog who lives in the area. She just had a baby 5 weeks ago! Ran with her and Kam a little for a warmup. We had the option to run the 5k in a relay or individual. Since I have no speed I decided to go solo and use as a half marathon pace workout. Everyone was in good spirits and easy going. I think I was 1 of maybe 5 that ran the entire 5k. It felt relaxed and easy, just what I needed today, with no pressure to push. Stats- First for women in the individuals category. I think there were only 1 or 2 others:) 20:09 for 3.16 miles according to Garmin, showed me a bit over. How does that happen on a track? I wasn't challenging a PR today:0. So fun! No pain, just a little reminder in the last .75 mile. Cooled down with Andrea and Devera and a couple others I had not met before. Good to see everyone. Thanks for throwing this race Allie and James!
