Remarkable achievements require remarkable efforts

4 miles w/ Lynsey.  first two miles were 8:30 and last two were 8.

 Anyone know why my links for MaryAnn and Kellies don't work anymore?  

5 miles today (2.5 to gym and back) Also did Tae Bo, I haven't been for 2.5 weeks and I could tell. :)

Tried to run fast today.  Fastest mile 6.53.  Need to do more speed work. :(

PM - Zumba class taught by Lynsey.  I am a fish out of water in there, but it was fun and I was definitely sweaty when I left :)  Brought my ex-running buddy Tammy.  She's pregnant now and doesn't want to run 20 miles being 6 months pregnant??  I don't get it. :)

Went back to bed this morning.  Too tired. 

 PM - Ran on the track.  .5 to track and I think I did 4 x 400.  then .5 back. I need to do more... last year I used my races as my speedwork. :) this year I am too cheap to pay for races. 

excuses excuses excuses.  got to bed late and 2 year old woke me up at 3.  couldn't go back to sleep.  when i was asleep I had crazy dreams.  will run tonight or do zumba again.

Ran 3.5 w/ Lily & Lynsey w/ avg pace of 8:11.  Lynsey did it even though she taught Zumba until 10pm the night before :)

Then Lily & I drove to the gym, she loved my sweaty face fogging up her windsheild and my sweaty cheeks soaking her seat :).  I did 1 mile in 7.30 and then two half mile sprints in 3 minutes each :)  the 6 min mile without stopping is around the corner. :)  Then I lifted.

 GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THE UV MARATHONERS!!!!!!!

I think my sister and I will be at the finish line cheering ya'll on!

Originally planned on 8 or 9 :) ended at 4.  Avg pace 8:07.  I will probably add some PM miles to this. 

Just got back from the Utah Valley Marathon.  It was so cool.  There's such a cool feeling when you finish a marathon.  I had to bring my kids so we were a little late, but we got there w/ plenty of time to see Mary Ann come in 1st!!!  The 5k time hadn't switched over yet, but I am guessing she was around the 2:55 - 3 hour range.  Then we saw JOSSE!!!  She did great.  I also saw Rick Clayton.  He and I finished at the same time last year at Top of Utah.  I saw Sasha when we first got there, but since I don't know him know him I didn't say hi. :)  Kids were getting a little wild so we had to leave early.  But I would have loved to see Marion! I have pictures of Josse I'll post them when I have some time.  Oh and I never saw Allie, I really wanted to meet Allie the great. :)  Next time I see her sleeping on a  bus I'm gonna wake her up.

PM update:  I was so motivated by the marathon today that I ran 6.2 at 6pm.  avg pace 7:45
