| Location: North Logan,UT,United States Member Since: Oct 20, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Local Elite Running Accomplishments: Marathon PR: 2:45, St. George 2007 Half-marathon PR: 1:21, Moab 2007 Recent races: St. George Marathon, Olympic Trials Marathon, Moab 5 miler. Short-Term Running Goals:
I want to run faster. I'd like to win a race or two. I want to smarter and harder and increase my mileage without increasing my injuries. I'd also like to keep up with this and my other blog. You can check it out at novicexpert.blogspot.com. I don't keep track of my workouts there (just random thoughts on running), so the two don't really interfere. Long-Term Running Goals: I want to win at least one marathon, make a better showing at the next Olympic Trials, try a few ultra-marathons and finish a 100-miler. Personal: I lead a simple life. I teach a couple of times a week and run. A lot. I also climb and ski (both snow and water) whenever I get a chance. I think I'm addicted to sunshine. |

pool running (of course, my body...well, i'm feeling lots better and getting my energy back. i tried to push it harder in the pool but wasn't p to the sprinting aspect of intervals, so i gave up on that and just ran a consistent pace (still counting laps as if i was doing intervals. gotta keep sanity somehow). i wasn't asthmatic but breathing hard, though that could be due to the fact that i have been taking new asthma med. and maybe it's working. yeehaw! will try for more working-out-age later.

i love waking early and running. of course, it was in the pool. i'm transitioning back to just land running but i really hate running just 3-4 miles in the pool (doesn't feel like a workout), so i may pack on a few extra miles in the near future a i run more and more on land. i expect another run this afternoon

slow days are generally boring, especially when it's nasty air outside and i have to spend all together too much time at the gym. i did pool work this morning, as usual and kept a good steady but easy (though not too easy) pace. this afternoon i ran on the indoor track, on the treadmill and back on the track again. helps break the monotony. having said all that negative, i must say something positive. i feel as though i'm returning to a former--more favorite self--that i lost somewhere amidst vacation and illness. ahhhh...it felt good to run a few miles fast. i actually only meant to run about 2 fast but couldn't help it on the track. i love passing people when i'm in the outside lane. i did get passed by some rotc guys who must have just been running 400m or so, but i sped up and passed a few just for about a lap (i think one of them is a student but i'm not sure. i don't think he recognized me. he wasn't having much fun so i doubt he noticed anything other than the sting in his lungs and legs. still, i'm kind of a brat sometimes to do things like that.) anyway, it ended up being a good hour or so at the gym. | | Add Comment |

Ahhhhh, I'm back. It feels like I've just been languishing in "blahs-ville" and unable to work hard or even try to work hard. But I feel much better about running today. Finally! The treadmill and I, we were good ol' buddies today. Started at 6:40 and down to 6:35, :31 and then spent much of the run around 6:21-ish i think (don't remember) but I ran progressively faster in the last few miles with the last mile at 6:00 and under (down to 5:13 for the last few seconds. sometimes i think i'm addicted to pushing the faster button). ...just got done running in the pool (heaven forbid i don't run in the pool everyday. i think the life guards would faint if i didn't show up). twas lovely and easy.
