| Warm out today (37) but 25-35 mph winds were no fun. Paths are a sloppy mess so no hills or intervals for a few days. Woke up with a bit of a head cold so sucking down the tea today.
Added another 3 before bed with Luca. She is not happy I am back at work and she doesn't get her daily 10 milers. But the moose are dopping their paddles so she will get some hiking with the hubs in.

| Just a nice 10-miler at lunch. I was going to take Luca after the girls went down, but by the time I got out of their room it was almost 10pm (I may have accidently fallen asleep..) and a little too late for me. Trying again tonight.
2 miles with Luca. Nice and easy.

| Got out between work, picking up the kiddo from school and then back to work. Ran pretty well AP 7:30 which included some long icy sections that slowed me way down. Based on my effort today, my run on Tuesday was probably at a 7:10-7:15 AP. I am running a lot faster than I thought I was- which is always a nice surprise. Have a few busy weekends coming up , then going to add some longer runs into my regime so I am ready for Moab in March.
My route goes next to the river so Luca can run off leash and I ran under 4 bald eagles and I think, a golden eagle. I thought maybe it was a juvinelle bald, but he was huge so not sure. I checked our bird field guide (which my 5-yr old took as show-n-tell today), but the only distinguishing mark on a golden were some light colored rings on the tail and I didn't check when I stopped to look at him. Just glad they weren't hungry and going after Luca!

| Went out while it was snowing and the path was super slippery. Micro slips in every step. I stepped in a hole running on Friday and tweaked my ankle a bit. Nothing bad and I ran Saturday as usual with no effects, but the run today my soleus flarred up bad. Not sure if it was from the ankle twist or the slips, but it hit hard and shot up into my calf by the end of the run. I iced, stretched and rubbed it out as much as possible. Icing today- hopefully todays run isn't so bad or I am calling my PT and going in . She fixes it right up.

| The first half mile was painful- I am sure I had an ugly face the whole time. Changed my foot strike and that alleviated some of the pain. Icing now- another round of deep massage and stretching should get me through it. I was planning on 3 hard workouts before I am stuck in training for 3 days, but that probably won't happen. I'll get some workouts in on the spinner at night instead...

10 miles with 10 x 40 second hill sprints. Downhill aggreviated my tendon.

| Drove home and picked up Luca and then ran her back. I was just going to do my loop with her and then drive her back, but change of plans half way out and just took her home cause of some work that came up.
Soleus felt fine and dandy so that is a relief. Iced before I ran and stretched really well. Gald I didn't have to go see the PT cause no time this week for it...

| 2.3 before class then 5 at lunch. Was hoping to do 4 in the morning, but my almost-3-yo wouldn't let me and wanted to do more after class, but two kiddos and a sick hubby changed things. Will be glad to get back to a normal routine this week. The past three lunch runs have been at a medium- hard effort to make sure I am back in time. |

30 minutes on my spinner then 2 miles with Luca to keep her somewhat calm.

10 at lunch. It was a chilly 15 out. By the time I got back I looked like Elsa with frozen hair...
2 before bed with Luca. Much easier to do 15 minutes in the morning and 15 mintes before bed with Luca on the weekdays. Cold out.

Energy was back and legs felt good. Could feel a little bit of spinning from last night.
Took Luca for 3 in the PM. I think it was warmer than the last part of my lunch run...

| 10 miles with 4 x 10 min on/2 min off. pace splits: 6:37, 6:36, 6:40, 6:42 the last two efforts were into a head wind. The last one was a mess- around pudddles, on the grass, through the mid, against the wind. Not a great one to end on, but the others felt good and my fitness was on key for this early in the season.
River was busy. The sun was shinning and the temps were up to 41F. Makes people crzy around here- saw 2 people in shorts, a lady in a freaking tank top and some guy in shorts and a tee. 40F does not warrant summer gear people!!!

| Excellent workout today. 3x 20 min at 10k effort up hills with 3 min recovery between. I didn't watch pace at all, just went by effort and pain. AP ended up being 7:42- which included a slow mile warm up and a mile on muddy trails. Same course as the 13.1 race and my time was only 11 minutes slower with double the hills. Really happy with my fitness level/ speed at this point in my training ( or lack there of). |

| Hubby and I went for 7, then he went home and I went for another 8. I stepped off of the path and tweaked the high outside ankle/shin. I was planning on going out for another 3 after the girls were in bed, but decided not to. Heading to sunny California early Thursday morning with the girls to visit family. Really excited about the 70+ temps, but not sure if I will be able to fit any runs in. Trying to get 50-60 miles before I head out.

That soft grass and hills are a killer workout- about 10x harder than a tempo on pavement. A month of the cc course and my legs are going to be machines!

Intervals on the cc course today. 3 x 10 min at 1/2M effort (no use watching pace through the snow, wind and hills) with 2 min recovery between. Then 2 x 5 min at 10k effort. Another killer workout. Need to stop biking the day before b/c my legs need that extra power to finish strong.

Felt really strong, but a few of the steep hills were killer. Hubs joined me till mile 7 then headed back. Should be ready for Moab in two weeks. 5k gut check on Saturday- not expecting too much. |

3 mile wu. 2 x 10 at half pace (6:45), 2 min between on the cc course. Tried to keep the pace as much as possible, but between the course and the lovely wind- there were only glimpses of 6:45. Hovered between 6:45 and 7:00.

| Race Day!!
Race started at 8am with temps at 34F. I had been wondering why the times from last year were so slow (given the elevation gain) and I found out right away. Started out down a jeep trail and it quickly turned into a sand jeep trail. About 7 miles of sand (like on a beach- nice and soft...) with a few outcroupsings of slick rock. Then we jumped from the sand onto just the slick rock and headed down into a canyon. Gradually climbed the canyon and soon there was a 300ft ravine below us. We scoured the rocks and made our way down the bottom of the ravine, scalling rocks walls and feeling like I was in a rock climbing adventure....
Once we got to the bottom, we refueled and headed back up. Once again- freaking climbing rocks....
Felt really strong at the top with about 12 mile left. Heated up and there was absolutely no shade so the cooking began. Really needed the 2nd aid station- water in my belly was slouching around, loudly. Stopped at the last aid station and had some ginger ale with Hammer electrolyte pills. I will be carrying them from now on- just what I needed to get my through the last 6 miles (on more sand). Finished strong. 1st place woman and 4th overall.
I ran with one guy for a few miles in the ravine and he was talking it up about catching me to my hubby and my hubs replies, "Go right ahead, see if you can catch her..." And he did not. I do love leaving men in my dust: :
It was a tough race- conditions were hard. Sand sucked and the heat and sun were unforgiving, but the view were awesome and it was a great race!

| 2 mile wu. 8 x 2 min on, 2 min off at 6:10 pace. Legs felt really good for the first 6, then when I turned into the wind- the resistance was a little much for my legs and they could only hold 6:30 pace. But I finished the last few miles stong and ended with 7:20 AP. Still a little fatigue from the race, but that's expected.

| Easy miles in the foothills. Legs felt heavy first 2 miles and then everything felt good. About 2000 ft climbing. Ran last half mile at 7:05 pace just too see how it felt and it was comfortable. Signed up for Missoula marathon- haven't run that distance in ten years. Hoping to place top three so I think I need a 3:05 to do that. Should be doable, just gave to add some longer tempo runs to work on leg speed. Might have to think about racing schedule in June. I have it planned out to do a 35k trail 6/6, half 6/20, 10k 6/27, 5k 7/4. And the race is 7/12... | |

| 25k. Course was a couple miles longer than last year. The first 3 miles are an out and back and some runner behind us went off course and cut out a good chunk. Took the first loop easy and felt good, after the two guys in front of me pushed it to stay ahead, I made them pay for it on the second loop. Ran really strong on the second loop and felt good. Had two gels and about 35 oz water. Had enough zest for another loop (or part of one). Course has lots of climbing and technical areas. First female and third overall. Great day for a trail race. Now to recover for a couple days, sneak in a speed session and race 10k on Saturday. Hoping my stomach will corporate and I can have a better race than the last 10k. Supposed to do a mile race at the high school track meet later that day. Depends on soccer game and getting the babe down in time. But if I do run, it is going to be ugly!

| 10k race in the morning. Chilly (37F) and windy. No one to push me and with a mile race later I took it easy. Race was a little long (6.4) and of course I forgot my watch so I have no idea what my splits were, but AP was 6:34.
Then raced home, grabbed girls and headed back to race for their obstacle run. Turk ran it twice and loved it. Q did about half and then was done. Still just a little too young and timid for it.
Then raced to soccer game. Coached the kids, sprinted back home, put Q down and came out of her room at 1:34. Mile race started at 1:40 so I jetted out the door. Drove over as fast ans safely as possible. Pulled up jumped out of car ran to the track and had about 30 seconds to rip off my warmups before the gun went off.
Gun fired and we were off- someone went down in the first 10 seconds so we had to restart.
Ran mile in 5:50- faster than I thought I would after the race this morning. First mile I have ever raced, I tucked behind a girl for the first 800 during the headwind. It went by really fast and I felt like I was just warming up and it was done. Fun to run though.
May will be a hard traininig month to whip me into marathon pace shape. Can't wait!!

Need to stay healthy for the big 0-6 birthday party this weekend!!
Did a new Nike Training Center ab workout last night and one of the moves may have made my lower back tight. The bridge/back bend during my mini-yoga session (also NTC) could also be the culprit... I should know better than to do a back bend... not the bendy 10-yr old I use to be :)

Almost bite by a dog. Some lady was walking her 9 dogs and a few of them came running over (no biggi) and she shouts "They are friendly" All were friendly but one who snarled and lunged at me for a few minutes while the lady blew her whistle (and he did not respond to). I had to stand still and yell and try to get him to back off while he was about 6 inches away from taking a chunk out of my rear.

| Race Day!!! 22 miles, 5,500' elevation gain
Wasn't sure how my body and legs were going to act today. Love ultras because they register the race through ultrasignup.com and they rank you going into the race, show all people entered in the race and develop an estimated finish time. Granted the place and time can differ drastically based on a number of factors. Helps me to know who my competition is. There were a couple of girls who were given finsih times within a couple minutes of mine so I knew it would be a tough race.
Felt good out of the get go and legs felt pretty strong and energy levels were good. Legs could have felt better, but they weren't as drained as they had been earlier in the week so I was happy.
One girl tried to run ahead at about mile 2, but I kept her close and passed her after about 400 yrds. Came into first aid station as first girl, with one right on my heels. I stopped for some orange slices, and she passed the station. Took off and caught her about 600 yrds. Had a nice pace on the flatter stuff and was able to put some distance between us. On the ascent up I grinded up the mountain, passing about 5 guys.
Steep downhills are not my strength. I go as fast as I can without being so out of control that I feel like I could go down. 3 guys passed me (including the hubby) on the downhill- I have no idea how they don't roll down the hill going that fast. Came into the 2nd aid station, grabbed electrolyte pills and shot of 7-up and headed out. Grinded through the next 4 miles of hills trying to catch hubgy- he was just ahead of me (about 2 minutes). finally saw him on the last crest about 200 yds ahead. Unfortuntaly he saw me too. Last 2 miles are a gradual downhill to the finsih and the race was on. We both put it in high gear and flew downhill. He ended up getting me by about 45 seconds- busted out a 6:06 last mile (which is no easy feet after that course). I was about 6:15 trying to catch him. At least he is about 10x more sore than me :)
Kept the other two girls at bay and broke the CR (only the second year for this route...)
Ran strong and felt pretty good the whole race. Wanted to be about 5 minutes faster- have to try again next year...
Now to road racing season. First half in two weeks- so easy few days to let my legs recover ( downhill muscles are tight!!!). Then I race just about every weekend so my milage will fall off for a couple of months.

| First Half of the season. I was hoping to do a 1:28, but I ended up slower. I found out a few days prior that I would be taking a work trip to Alaska for 4 days and I had to leave on Saturday. Haven't left the babies for that long or gone by my lonesome since I had the oldest (6). Had some separation anxiety and couldn't really focus during the race.
I ran well and felt fine afterward and couldn't even tell I ran a half on Sunday. The race director changed the course this year and made it loop through a park and go over every little hill he possibly could. It threw me out off a little.
Couple more weeks till Missoula!!!

Packed in 12.5 hours of work then finished off my day with 10 miles along the bay. Decided to take it easy instead of a work out since I have a 20-mile tempo race this Saturday and I don't want to overdo things and end up sick....

| relay with the hubs. We were originally going to run 20- miles legs, but the heat was going to be an issue so we changed it up. Ran first 5- mile leg then hubby took the hill. The plan was to each do 15, but about half way into my second leg, my side cramped up. I think it was from the bagel, gu, and poweraid I downed between legs. So then we switched the plan to alternating 5- mile legs. I hit MP for all but the second leg and felt really good at the end. So now time to taper for Missoula!! | |

Awesome race- organizers did a fabulous job.
I started out right on pace 7:00-7:05. Ran with 2 girls until about mile 13. I took some Gu and water and/or gatorade at mile 13 and ended up with another side ache. I could feel it coming on so I did everything I could to stop it, but the tricks didn't work. Luckily we hit the hill at the same time so I slowed down my pace and fought it off with another round of tricks. This time worked. Couple girls passed me, but stayed patient.
My watch died at mile 14 so I just had to run on feel, which in the later miles I have found is harder than it seems. I stayed patient and passed a few girls around mile 18. The 3:10 pace pacers (no people in the group) caught up to me so I ran with them the rest of the way- just ahead. Looking at the race results, my last 15k spilts were around 7:20.
I didn't place top 3, which was my original goal or at my goal pace (7:05), but for my first marathon with training (I ran 2 about 5 years ago with no idea what I was doing) I was pleased. It hurt more than I thought it would when I finished- my legs were trashed.
Today my muscles are just a little sore, but my joints- specifically my hips- are on fire. Never hurt there before...
Our hotel had a pool outside, so when I got back the hubby and girls were swimming (girls are little fish) so I took off my shoes and jumped in. Cold water felt really good and they had a hot tub so I was alternating between the cold water and jets.
Now a few days of resting/cycling and then half this weekend and next. Half is so much easier than a full!!!

Tried my best to rest my legs as much as possible this week after the Missoula race.
My quads were still pretty tight so I wasn't expecting to run this race very well. The other 2 top runners in the area were singed up so I figured I was going to get 2nd or 3rd. (one has a marathon this weekend so I knew she was going to hold back a little).
First couple of miles are gradual downhill so I took it very easy. A few girls took off. Legs were sore right off the bat. When the course flattened out I caught two and then took the last one at mile 4 on the uphill. Hill actually felt good on my legs.
I kept thinking my rivals were right on my tail so that kept me focused. I stayed relaxed and ran better than I thought I would. 2 minutes slower than last year, but 5 days after a marathon, I'll take it!

Legs were tired from the get-go (surprise, surprise...). First mile is down hill, followed by just under a mile of flat and uphill then another 2 downhill. I took it really easy on the downhills. Let a few girls fly by me. As soon as we hit the flats I passed them and started chipping away at the 1st palce girl. I ran really strong and even though my legs were pretty beat up from the past month and a half of racing I managed to chip 1 minute from last years time. Course was a little short so doesn't count as a PR, but I still managed 6:47s. 1st place was only 1:30 ahead of me and she flew down the hill so I think my flats were faster than hers. And given that my legs were toast I was happy overall. 3rd place was almost 10 min. behind me.
Legs are spent now. I was thinkning about a tri this weekend, but I think my legs need rest. So no race this weekend and kids are doing a tri the next weekend so I have 2 weeks to recover and get some slow easy miles in. Hard to drop to such low mileage mentally.
Then a 5 mile race, hilly half and 10k then a flat half I would like to have a nice time at. I have been running really stong on fatigued legs so I should be able to PR.

| Mesa Falls Half. After 3 week sof rest and aslow 5 mile race last week I was ready to go.
Started out on the dirt trail slower than I wanted, but when I hit the pavement I was ready to roll. Pushed hard on the hill (3.5-7) and got into a nice pace at mile 7and carried it out the rest of the way. Miles 7-11 are rolling, but I tagged a guy in front of me and reeled him in.
I felt really smooth and strong on the run and noticed that when I thought about pushing the pace for the last mile I tightened up and didn't drop any in time, but used more energy. Need to keep that in my head at Pocatello.
Really happy with my time on the course.

After a strong race at Mesa I was really excited for this fast course. I was hoping to run a 3:00-3:02. The first part of the course is downhill so my plan was to let everyone go out too fast and gain ground on the flats.
I started out feeling strong and right on track and about mile 8 things just started to go downhill (pun intended...) my stomach started to act up. I had to slow down a hair to try and calm it down, made a pit stop that cost a few minutes... Then I just couldn't get back on track. My legs felt heavy. About mile 14.5 I saw the 2nd place girl about a 3/4 mile up. I thought I might be able to catch up, but I just couldn't dig in. I felt strong up the hill at mile 20, but at the top another side ache hit and I could barely breathe. I had to slow to about 8:30 pace to get it under control. Took a couple miles, but I was so far back by then it didn't really matter. There were lovely headwinds to greet us at tht op of the hill. With 1 mile left my friend passed me and I just coasted in. I finished in 3:10 and my watch said the course was 26.32. So about the same as Missoula.
I was really disappoionted with the race. I felt really good going into the race so I don't know what happened.. I didn't feel tired at the half way point- my legs felt fine..I was a little bummed about the lost time for the pit stop and stomach ache, but not enough to derail me...
Who knows... just not my dayI guess... I think I race too much to really focus on running a solid marathon late in the season. and I had to give up racing 3 halfs hard that I really like. I think I will stick to fulls in the spring (along with ultras) and halfs in the summer. I think I can shave a few minutes off my half times and get into the low to mid 20s.
Still keeping SLC on my marthon schedule for next spring. Have to have at least one solid race I feel good about....
Also not as sore as I was last time so that is nice- the half this weekend won't hurt as bad...

| Ran the uphill portion of 13.1. Figured after the marathon last week I would have a friend spilt the course with me.
Legs were fatigued, but I managed to make it to the top first for Queen of the Hill.
Road race season is pretty much over with now. 50k toward the end of Oct and a few fun runs (Halloween, Turkey, Xmas....) and cyclocross races are all that is left.
I am excited to back off of workouts and bump up my base miles again. Just a few months of easy 70-80 miles/week and start thinking about my goals for next season....

We alked down a hill to the only water in sight. Drenched her and she had a nice big drink and was ready to rock and roll, unfortunately we had to get back to pick up the kids...

| Great day for 10. I have been doing strength training 3-4 times a week now that racing is over. For some reason every time I try to add squats and lunges into my routine, my kneew start to hurt during running. I am super carefeul about form so I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I tried some last night and my knees started hurting during my run today. Better just stick to hills to work my glutes...

planning on 3 miles with Luca then ran into some dogs that wouldn't leave us alone so we ran back to grab my phone and call their owner. Spent 45 minutes tracking down the owner and running the dogs back. One was a pit (which is never fun to see late at night) who was nice and the other was a heeler mix and was ok. Both were males and all over Luca- poor girl. The owners wouldn't even grab the heeler cause they were afraid he would nip at them...sersiously people...

| wanted to do my longer run today, but that didn't happen. A little dog started following us 100m from our house and I didn't recognize him. Didn't have time to call the city about his tags so I grabbed a leach and took him with us. Best day of his life!! |
