Gonna guess 6 mi. on the morning run.  It was part trail so couldn't drive & clock it.  Being patient until Santa brings a Garmin.  Good run w/ Heather & Buff today, we were going  a good little pace, maybe 9:50?  Trying to be more positive lately and get in the right mental state of mind- seems to be helping me w/ energy.

Then went to gym for PT.  She really worked me pretty good.  All body session, used mostly bars & dumb bells.  I will go back a couple time on my own to repeat.  Don't meet w/ her again until day after Thanksgiving (I should be looking cute in gym clothes that day- NOT)

Easy 4 w/ Sara today.  I woke up a little sore in the calves & shoulders from the PT session yesterday.  The mellow 4 w/ Sara felt really good! Cold morning- in the 40s! (yes, I'm spoiled- for St. George folk that is cold!)

Tomorrow will run w/ Heather either track, hills or run w/ strides.

Today I am thankful for good friends! Thanks to Heather, I got my run in today at 8:30 pm.  My alarm went off at 5 am, when I was going to join the Sole Sisters (the fast bunch) for a run.  I got out of bed and "ouch"! My calves were in painful KNOTS.  (I have my personal training session to thank for this) I really didn't want to try to keep up w/ the fast bunch this morning with my sore legs- so I figured I'd go out alone at 10am, then 11am, then before you knew it I was having lunch w/ Jim and the kids were getting out of school, etc... etc...Once 6pm came I had pretty much accepted that I wasn't getting in my run.  That's when Heather saved the day.  She had gotten in 5 mi. this morning, but was fighting off a good bout of PMS and needed another run! We had a great run.  I'm not thrilled with our time (10:20 average pace) but I guess that's what you get when you talk nonstop the whole time, esp. while climbing hills.  I'm looking forward to a harder/ faster run Friday and maybe even Sat. Tomorrow I will meet Sara for 4.  Goodnight and happy running dear bloggers!

4 hilly miles w/ 9- 12 sec. strides.  Have no idea if I'm doing strides right?  I would just go fast for 12 seconds (not quite a sprint) then run slow and recover, then when I felt good again I'd do another fast 12 seconds.  It was fun!

I stopped 1/2 way at a water fountain (I was so thirsty) and stretched my sore legs. Total time inc. stop was 35:29.  8:52 pace. That's pretty fast for me for a training run!

I was tempted to do 5 miles today, but didn't because I'm supposed to run for 1.5 hrs. tomorrow morning w/ fast girls (sole sisters) so wanted to save some energy for that!

8.68 miles, 9:54 average pace.  Good run w/ Buff, Heather, Tammy & Teresa (?).  I brought my IPOD and when I felt like lagging I turned it on and it gave me the extra energy I needed.  Afterwards went to the gym and did upper body.  Glad tomorrow's Sunday so I can chill!!!

Michelle & Lybi- I'm still deciding if I'm bringing kids or not to Moab.  I haven't been there in about 10 yrs. so I'm not sure what there is to do. I was thinking of leaving them w/ family and just taking Jim and spending Fri. night, running Sat- hang out a little w/ you guys, then drive back Sat. night.  But Jim says we should just spend a few days in Moab instead of doing Disney.  I'm going to so a little research and I'll get back to you.  I booked a room at Holiday Inn Express (48hr cancellation policy)  just to have a room, 1 got one w/ 2 queens so we can go kids or no kids... 

Mik'L- I'm bummed that you're not in the first registred blog group!! But hopefully ALL of us will get in!! I'm thinking about you today running the 5k, can't wait to hear about it!!!
