A change of scenery-25 miles

This week was pretty fabulous! I got all of my runs in-except for moving Saturdays to Monday. Kim, Hillary, and I ran the Jordan River Parkway. It was beautiful! It was so good to have a change of scenery. We did 10 miles, and it felt great! I have really loved having friends to run with. It is making something that is really hard, really fun. Pony Express 5K is coming up and I am really stoked about it. I have a lot of great friends running so it will be so much fun! Nothing more really to report except that school is almost out, YEAH!!! I am hoping to get the kids out in the mornings and get some good activity in, I haven't got it quite figured out, but I have a few more days. TaTa for now!

2 week review-lots of miles!

So, I wasn't so good about posting my last two weeks, but the fact that they actually took place is what matters, right? I have upped my runs to 4 weekday, and a long one on Saturday. It's good. I feel good. I have started working a little bit on speed intervals, hard stuff. I know it will help me so it must be done. The last two weekend runs I have buddied up with a partner. I have never really ran and carried on a conversation before. I was hoping I could do it, and I did. It was so nice to chat with someone, rather than fighting with my head for the first few miles. It really made things go by faster. For my Saturday runs I did 9 miles two weeks ago, and about 7 this last week. I am trying to convince myself for 10 on Saturday. I am trying to target my weekly mileage around 22-26 miles. I got all signed up for the Pony Express 5K, should be fun! I'll do better about posting this next week. I promise!

New opportunities-I don't know how many miles

Just because I haven't been posting, doesn't mean I haven't been running. Running seems to be the only thing that has helped get me out of the slump I have slid into. I have only done 3 and 4 mile runs recently. I started a new training schedule this week. Let me lay it out for you. I plan on heading out at 6:30 in the morning on weekdays, slightly later on the weekends. I will do 3 on monday, 4 on Tuesday, 5 on Wednesday, break Thursday, 3 on Friday, and 8-10 on Saturday. I will most likely just be posting at the end of my week and recap the weeks runs. Unless of course, something significant takes place. I just signed up for the Hobble Creek Half Marathon in August. Apparently it's a pretty popular event because it sold out in only 24 hours. I feel so lucky to be one of the 1200 runners that has a ticket! I also plan on doing the Pony Express 5K. Emity and I had talked about it years ago but never acted on it. So, better late than never. I am excited to do some training with her, I have been on my own for months now. Mr. Tim(Lucas' pre-school teacher) told me that his wife runs regularly, so I dropped him a note to pass to her, all but begging for a running partner. She responded and we will start doing our Saturday runs together, and more once school lets out. I feel renewed by these new opportunities. Somebody really is watching out for me!
