Here we go again~

Amongst the pain in my back, I also am coming down with a cold and lacking major sleep so I couldn't get my keester out of bed this morning. So, I slept in and had a window of time tonight to run a quick 5 miles on the TM. Started at 6.9 for a mile, took it up to 7.2 for 3 and finished at a 7.6. Then it was off to pick up kids from soccer and start family time~

Again, I couldn't get up this morning so I only squeezed a quick 30 minute session with Taunya and Physique 57 today :( 

Ty had to leave awful early this morning so I got up and ran 5 on the TM. My back was so tight I had to stop after every mile and stretch!!! I am beginning to wonder!>!>?? I am going to the Chiropractor today so we'll see what he says!! Nice to get 5 in anyway :) . Started at 6.9, took it up to 7.3 and ran the last mile at 7.6 (low energy), I have got to get over this and get into a groove :)

7.5 with the Heidi's this morning!! Man, it was a BEAUTIFUL, Perfect Morning!!  AP: 8:21

45 minutes of yoga this morning.  Tyler had an early morning meeting so running was not an option.  I haven't done yoga forever so it felt very nice!!! I didn't have much time so I just cut the 1 hour 30 minute P90X yoga disc and did 45 mins only!!  

I have officially deemed the Ogden 1/2 marathon my favorite Half Marathon!! It is such a beautiful course and it helped that today was absolutely PERFECT weather!! Oh, and of course that Tyler ran with me.  No, no, no, he wasn't just attempting to complete Charity work today, his I.T. band on his left knee has been hurting him and he didn't dare "race" the race today for fear of hurting it further.  So, he settled and decided to run with me instead today.  I was a bit bummed when I got to the start line and realized that I had left my ipod in my purse (in the truck) which meant I would be racing with no tunes to keep me rockin. But after the run and running with Tyler, I am slowly trying to persuade him to become my new "ipod"!! Not that he serenades me by any mean, but it's just so darn nice to have him to run with.  He helps coach me through things and knows the exact distance to stay in front of me to make me "chase" him. So, all in all, it was a great morning!!  Also, before going to Ogden last night, I failed to check my time from last year's race so I had no idea what I had to run today to compete or possibly beat last years time.  I was happy to see that I beat last years time by a whole 1 minute and 12 seconds, he he he!!!  I guess improvement is improvement ha!?! I was even a bit more proud of myself because with my sporatic running lately, I didn't expect improvement at all, so.......improvement in improvement.  Anyway, I am not a runner that remembers each mile and how I felt, etc so all I know is that I felt really good until mile 12 where of course I got the normal fatigue that comes with the end of races.  Tyler was great to keep me hanging in there and I finished strong!! Love love love, the food at the finish line too!!! Yes, it was a great race!  AP: 7:21

P.S. I just posted my placing overall, etc.  Apparently, Tyler registered me as a Male so my name doesn't show anywhere on the Female results :). Oh well! I found my times and kind or plugged in where I would have placed, ha ha!!!
