Today we did 50 minutes w/ some hills on 300 S & Center st. Total mileage 6.27 miles.

Tammy's Note: I think I am giving up! I have had it. I hate my IT band. Hate it. I really want to give up, but I won't. I am going to keep trying this week with everything that I am doing, and some new things. I going to still run the mileage, but not as fast. I am going to try to just coast and pace. But I am just so ticked! My total mileage was about 1.5 miles today.

Today we were supposed to do 25 minutes swimming and 25 minutes on the

bike. Well I got to the pool and realized my goggles were broken! so I

swam 3 laps. Tammy did 10 and we biked for 25 minutes.

Today Larry & I went to the track at the high school and ran some sprints. We did 1 mile where we jogged the curves and sprinted the straight parts. Then we ran a 400 sprint, but since it was raining we came home and drove to the gym and lifted some weights.

Tammy's Note: Well I didn't get to run today because Chad wanted to go swim with the Masters swim team. So I tried to run after dinner and that was a bad idea. I felt like I was going to puke the entire time. So I only did 1.25 miles and then lifted for about 15 more minutes.

Today Tammy & Merri swam for 25 and biked for 25. Tammy did 14 laps and I did 10. And we biked 7 miles.

Tammy's Note: Ok Merri kicked my butt on the bike. She is being nice and said she only did 7, but she did like 7.4 in 25 minutes. I was trying to keep up, but she kept raising the intensity and my legs couldn't handle it. I think it's because I have been dehydrated lately. Gotta drink more water!

So today we were going to do a 30 minute run. Merri was on a mission

and left all of us in the dust. Karen took the shorter route and I

thought I might catch her, but no chance. Merri did though. So the

total mileage was 3.8 miles. Nice day for a run, a little chilly

though. It's an hour later and I am still chilled.

To practice for Ragnar, the SFRR are running three different times today. I ran 25 minutes this morning (about 3.1) and Merri ran about 35 minutes (about 4.3 miles). Our neighbor, Larry, kept up with Merri this morning.

Then before eating lunch we went for another run. Merri, Wes and Larry ran again together (well, first time for Wes). They ran about 3.8 miles. Then I went out after we swapped kiddos and ran about 4.3 miles for 34 minutes. Man did that feel good!!! I was so excited. No knee/IT band pain, just my hip flexor and cramping in my calf. I was soooo excited. I spent about 10-15 minutes before the run just rubbing/rolling or massaging my leg on the side and front and Vwalah! All better. I am going to invest in a foam roller. Come Monday I am heading to the store. We'll see how I feel for the third run of the day.

Just as a side note. We are SOO excited to join our new members of the ragnar relay team. Chad, Merri and I had decided to race on a 12 man relay through the mountains for 180 miles with some other people, that we don't know. Well a couple days ago they e-mailed the entire group to say that we were three runners short because of dropouts. So we recruited our neighbors, Wes, Larry, and Brandon to come and run with us. Now we have one full van of just us locals! I am so excited! It is going to really be a blast.

Merri's Note: Wes and I also did a short 15 minute run at about 8:45ish. I had nothing left!!!

So I swam 8 laps today and almost died. Tammy did 12 I think and she said her arms were wasted. Then we biked for 20 minutes.

I went to the gym w/ Karen and lifted weights. And last night I went to

the track and did 4 - 400s. Each was about 1:25. And I ran some stairs

and I think I pulled a muscle. :(

Race: BYU Break the Silence 5k 00:21:35, Place overall: 3

0.003.103.10

So today Lerri & I went to BYU to run in the Break the Silence 5k. We started at the very back of the pack, b/c we were more just interested in running than winning. So I cruised along, but lot like a minute or so on my time at the start b/c we were at the back of the pack. It felt so much better to pass people than to be passed. I crossed the finish like at 21:35 and they said I took 3rd. Which I was way excited about. I think if I had started at the front of the pack I would have broken 20 minutes. 1st place girl was 19:19 and I would have loved to try to run w/ her. 2nd place was 20:45 and I have already proved that I can beat that. And I won a $5 gift card to maglebees!

Oh and Lerri and I got some air time and were interviewed for the BYU paper.

Tammy & I went to run the MTC Mile w/ Hawk and what a good time it was! I ran it in 5:35 and Tammy was 5:46!

Tammy's Note: Just for clarication as to what is the MTC mile. It is a mile run starting at the farthest north corner of the MTC on 900 East. There are 4 triangles in a line to indicate the start and then there are triangles each 100 m after that. The first will have one triangle meaning 100 m and the 2nd has 2 meaning 200 m. You keep going until you hit 1 mile or 1600m passing 16 different sets of triangles on the sidewalk/street. You never have to really cross a road at all, just head from the MTC all the way down, take a right on University Parkway and end at the BYU stadium. Usually Hawk will do mile repeats with three different finishes, the other two turn into the parking lot of the stadium. We didn't have time for more than one! But who wants to get beat by a bunch of 12 year-olds anyway! So we smoked them and then left!
