| | I think I have decided to start blogging again! It seems when I do, I am more motivated and work harder (knowing I have to report it...........if even it is to cyberspace himself). We'll see how it goes~ Met up with the Heidi's this morning for a tempo run. Jogged 1/2 mile then picked it up for 4 miles, then jogged out the last 1/2 mile. Heidi C is registered for the Ogden Full so she is officially in marathon training mode. May the force be with us fellow supporters:)!!! Today was hard for me but I really need to get my act in gear and shape up. I think it will get easier if so?!? Warmed up at 8:32 pace, then ran a 7:56, 7:53, 7:52 and ended with a 7:46. jogged out to make our overall AP an exact 8:00. Nice to be done and for sure will make my day better!!! Sweetness~ |

Nothing wakes you up in the morning like a little Harry's Hill (OUCH). Nice to get that checked off of my "to do" list, but sure was a hard run! We ended up walking the first half of the hill and then ran out the end and kept going. This was actually the first 5+ mile run that we have done this year that we only had one walk break, so hey.....................feelin good about that:). Oh I love the mornings after I run!! Nice, Nice!!! AP: 8:21 |

Actually felt really good today for a 18 miler:). Thanks to Heidi C for stashing water and orchestrating the event. My hip is starting to ache again when I run so I am a little nervous about that!! Hoping that a nice relaxing weekend will cure it a bit!! Happy Friday!

| | Happy Easter Saturday!!! We woke up and the Easter Bunny had come (we celebrate Easter on Saturday) so we celebrated, had us a nice breakfast and waited for the sun to come all the way up before I even thought about running. Left my house about 9:45 and headed out a different direction then I usually do. I had a rough first couple of miles but then kicked it in and felt great!!! I was really surprised to see my AP. Felt good today:)~ AP: 7:34

| | Nice little tempo run this morning:). We ran an entirely differnt route then we normally do and it was quite nice:). Started with 1.5 warm up (8:36, 8:17) then ran 3 miles tempo (7:37, 7:31, 7:34.......shooting for 7:40 or less), with 1.5 mile cool down (8:23, 8:01....up a small steady hill). Put our average at 8:01 overall. I felt pretty good today and am hoping that these tempo runs payoff come race day, whenever that might be! |

Oh what a glorious morning............oh what a glorious day:) (a little tune entwined there). It's been a rough week in the Shepherd home with sick kids, crazy schedules and sleepless nights. So, I haven't been feeling well either (way sore throat, etc) and as of yesterday thought I wouldn't even be running today. I was ever so pleased to wake up this morning feeling SO MUCH Better!!! So, I was glad I could get out and run long with Heidi C. while she worked on her last 20 miler before Ogden. I was only able to do 15 with her but felt really good which makes me excited about things. Of course I am attributing it completely and totally to the weather!! I love me some chill in the air and complete cloud coverage :). Nice!!!

Pink Series 5k (3.2 Miles) 00:20:20, Place overall: 4, Place in age division: 1 | |
FUN FUN FUN Race this morning with 50+ amazing women from my neighborhood and my sweet sis!!! I have a good friend who organized this for all of us fully equip with matching shirts, bandanas, knee high socks and a personal bus (quite fancy actually) to escort us all to the start line! It was such a fun experience and an amazing memory~ This course was pretty downhill so I appreciated the PR as well!!! Makes me realize all the more reason I love running. Heidi C and I ran out a few extra times to get a little more distance in. Put me at 5.25 total. The race itself was 3.2. It was a great morning!!
