| Ran a long 20 miles this morning. All in all a pretty good run. Of course, I would have been happy if it was 10 degrees cooler but that was not an option. Walked a lot after about mile 12 but still kept a pretty good overall average. Park City Marathon here I come! |

| Took yesterday off since I was still sore from Saturday. I had a great run with my new group this morning. Its so fun watching the sun come up. We kept a good pace and its always nice to have your workout done at 6:30 am and have the rest of the day to yourself. |

| We did the ironman gunlock loop again. It went WAY better this time. We increased our speed by 1 mph. The snickers bar halfway through is my new favorite thing. Great ride. I tried carbo-boom in my water bottles this time. I loved the flavors and it seemed to give me good energy. I'll have to try it again. I'm much more confident for my half ironman next weekend now. I'm off to celebrate my 1 year wedding anniversary so I don't know how much I'll do until we get home on monday. |

| Happy Anniversary to me! For the first time ever in our one year marriage, Ryan ran with me. It was a beautiful day in San Diego and we went for a little 4 mile run by the water. It was a perfect way to start the day. Thank you Ryan! |

| Went to the gym this morning and rode the bike. Then my friend Dina invited me to Zumba! I'm normally a pretty boring person who sticks to my 3 events because I don't have much time to do more than swim bike or run. It was a lot of fun and totally out of my comfort zone. We had a great time. |

| What a race! We waited for 30 min for the wind to die down on the water and it never did so they let us swim with white caps on the lake, I couldn't take one breath without getting pounded with waves. We only did half the swim because of the weather. Then the storm really hit on the bike and we were up against 40 mph winds, hail, and rain. By the run the weather was perfect but I used all my energy battling the elements on the bike. Not my best day. I was SO glad it was over. I think if the weather would have been nice, I would have loved it. It was a nice course and everyone was great. At least now I can say I'm a half an ironman!

| I wanted to get my legs moving but didn't want to overdo anything because of the race last weekend and Park City Marathon this weekend. So, I just run/walked and the treadmill for a couple of miles after work. |

| Went out for an easy SLOW 3 miles this morning. Didn't want to go too hard and hurt my knee so I just took it easy. |

| This was a really fun marathon. I was worried about it being cold in Park City but it was actually pretty hot. The race is about 19 miles uphill then you get to run downhill. Aside from the gradual uphill, it was really nice. It was very beautiful and they give a very cool finishers medal. I took it easy, as you can tell by my time, and just tried to enjoy myself and not hurt my knee. It started hurting at mile 3 but I just pushed through. All in all, I thought it was a great race, very well done, and a good time. I'm glad I did it. Only one more to go for the grand slam!

| Bad news- I had one of the Drs at work take a look at my hurt knee and he said there is a possibily I could have a tear so I need to NOT run for 10 days and then have him recheck it then. So, I will only be swimming, stretching, and doing yoga for 10 days. Bummer! |

| I wanted to go run with my group tomorrow so I took a chance with my knee and ran really slow on the treadmill. My knee was sore after but I did ok. Looks like I'm going to try and run in the am. |
