I started out great then at 13 miles I was just plain tired. My feet hurt and the elevation was getting to me and I just wanted to be done. That doesn't help the motivation at all when you have 13 miles left so I came in a lot slower than I wanted but it was still a fun beautiful run.

I tried out my new spin bike today. The video kicked my butt. Then I did one deck of strength training. I've never been able to make it through the whole deck before so that was cool.

I did 3 miles speedwork on the treadmill today, before work! It was the first time I have ever been able to get myself out of bed to run before I work for 12 hours. I was pretty happy.

I got my hubby out to ride with me today. He rides a mountain bike and I ride a tri bike so I should be a lot faster than him. Either I'm really bad or he's really good. I'm not sure which...

This was my first run with Anji. She kicked my butt! I think I figured out today that for the shape I'm in, running 13 miles the week after a marathon is too far for my legs to go. Even with my frequent walking breaks, it was a fun run and a good chance to catch up with a friend and a beautiful morning.

I went for a "long" bike ride today. It was beautiful outside! Perfect riding weather. My average was 16.9 mph and it was new course for me I was happy with. Now, it time for a relaxing day with my husband...

I had all the intentions of getting up and going to the track to do speedwork (mile repeats) this morning. Instead, I remembered my keys were lost when I got up and didn't want to wake up my husband to look for them. So, I did 1/4 mile repeats on the treadmill instead. It felt really good. I did repeats for 30 min. What a great way to start the day. I did some good stretching while watching the today show.

After a long week at work and not much time to exercise I got out for a long run this morning. The plan was to do 20 in preparation for Utah Valley Marathon in a couple weeks. But, I slept in and my feet couldn't take working 50 hours and running 20 so I did almost 16. It felt good for the first 10. I was able to keep all those miles under 10min pace. All in all, not the best run but I was glad to be out there toughing out the miles. I hope next week is better when it come to exercise.

After the pain in my feet was so bad and my othodics aren't coming for a few weeks and won't be here in time for the next marathon- I went to see Steve at the Running Center and he hooked me up. I got new smart feet insole, the BRAND new Saucony Omni 8 that just hit the stores and some good sports nutrition. It was fun to get to cash in my 15% off blog member discount. I'm excited to try the new shoes and hopefully my feet will thank me.
