4 miles about 10 min. average.  I wish my pace was a little faster, but I guess I should consider this a recovery run after Saturday's long run.  I met Heather at 6am, we were supposed to do 5, but "baby sabotage" so she had to stay home and I had to go it alone. (I really do love little Hannah, although it may not seem like it on this blog!) So I made up a little loop by myself.  Was lazy and took the first mile downhill, but made up for it later with the rest of the 3 being a gradual uphill climb.  I felt pretty good considering Sat.'s long run.  I was wishing I brought my IPOD for a distraction since I didn't have a partner and my cold was kinda annoying- felt it was interfering w/ my breathing.  But overall felt good, better than I did last week.

Step aerobics w/ weights today.  Thought I was going to a weight class, but the gym has changed the schedule.  SO- I ended up at a step/ weight class.  It was a fun change of pace, but not quite as much weights as I wanted.  I stayed after a bit to do some abs on the ball.  Slept in and didn't get my 2 miles in on treadmill.  But I feel great- the sleep was wonderful!  Plan is run at least 5 tomorrow & 5 again on Thursday.  Go long on either Fri or Sat.

Today I was the one standing up my running partner.  I woke up and just felt yucky & tired due to my cold even though I went to bed fairly early (10:30- that's pretty decent for me)  My cold doesn't seem to be getting any worse, but it just keeps moving around.  Now its in my throat w/ an annoying cough.  I thought if I could just pull myself out of bed and start running I'd be OK, but I didn't have the will power.  I told myself I'd get out there this afternoon- but who was I kidding.  If I don't run in the early am, it hardly ever happens later in the day.  I hope I feel good enough to run w/ the club tomorrow.  I'm going to try to get in bed before 10.

Great run w/ the "Club" gals today- Mik'L, Kendra & Jeannie.  We had a nice easy downhill (part of marathon route) 9:28 pace.  I felt good, I think sleeping in yesterday paid off.  Today I'm trying to finalize my 20 mile route for tomorrow.  I have mapped one out on 'map my run', but I need to go drive it and make sure its lighted out and no crazy obstacles... Heather & I will start at 3:45 tomorrow!

Thanks for all the 'get over the bug' well wishes everybody- I think I'm on the upswing!

20 miler today.  Started at 3:55 (I was 10 min. late) Met up w/ Heather, Chris and Chris' 11 yr old son- Nephi.  I picked this route and it wasn't an easy one! The first 9 miles were flat, then a gradual uphill climb for the last 11.  We were going really slow today.  I knew it wouldn't be as fast as our last 18 miler that we did in 3:10- because that 18 miler was mostly downhill (marathon route).  Oh  well- this was big time for the 11 yr old.  He's ran a couple 1/2 marathons, but this was his longest run ever.  We had 5 water stops, 1 porta potty and 1 gas station stop.  Took us 4:30 so about 13 min. miles w/ stops.  Miles 2-16 were good for me, but  my legs wanted to call it quit at 18.  I think that's because there was some sidewalk running from about 16 'til the end.  I would often just take my chances on the road 'cause I hate sidewalks so much- they hurt! And my IPOD died after about 45 min.  It did this on the last run too, so I'm starting to wonder if something is wrong with it... Anyway- glad its done.  I feel one step closer to marathon prepardness.  Now- big challenge- I'll be at Lake Powell all next week on a houseboat next to a cliff.  Really nowhere to run.  I will swim & wakeboard alot- but not sure how bad this will affect the marathon training.  We usually go to the marina a couple times during the week, so I'm taking my running clothes and hoping to log a few miles around the marina.

Have a great week fellow bloggers! Run hard and log some miles for me!
