6.5 still in chicago.  I used my running as sight seeing tours and ran all over to places I wanted to see.  This run took me to the famous bean. :)

9.5 miles in Chicago again.  Really loving the city.  I was going to taper for the 10k but didn't know why as I'm in pretty terrible shape so I just decided to keep running.

2 mile jog to the start at Grant Park from my hotel.

I signed up for this race on a whim when I heard about my conference in Chicago.  I thought I would maybe train for it but thinking was as far as I got.  To be completely honest I just haven't had the desire to train for anything this Summer...which has been completely fine with me.  I told my parents the night before that I wasn't racing and was planning to finish in around 45 minutes.  I'd be lying if I didn't admit that even running that 7:30 pace in the humid air sounded daunting.

Anywho I got to the start of the race and scoped out my surroundings.  There were a bazzilion people with pace group/waves starting at 7:00 and going up to 15:00.  They announced before the gun went off that there would be prizes for the top 3 men/women and after only 2 women were in front of me the first mile I decided to make a major surge and go for the win!  I'm being completely sarcastic...basically this was my worst 10k time ever but lucky for me it was a race not a time trial. :-)

At the turn around point on the Lake Front path the closest female was a good 30 seconds behind me so I knew if I could just hang on to my 6:30 pace I would get the win.  I hung on by the string of a thread and soaked in all of the cheering of the runners going out.  Out and back courses are great!  Everyone made me feel completely awesome and they even had a tape for me to break at the finish line.  Apparently I just need to move to Chicago.  It was a lot of fun!  I'm still taking autograph/photo op appointments so just PM me for an appointment.

9 miles with my sister and Dawn on the River trail, 8:38 pace.  My sister did not run once the entire week I was gone and was kind of dying during this run.  I am so jealous that my sister can just go an entire week without running and not even care or think about it.  I would have a melt down.  I so seriously need help. ha!

8.5 miles on the river trail with AmberD and Jen, 7:30 pace.  I always know when Jen comes it's going to be fast and yes it felt fast.

7.25 miles in the orchards solo, 7:29 pace.  I needed to take a break from the blog because I got swamped at work and with life.  I felt like running was just a motion and a very very slow and discouraging motion at best.  I'm finally starting to pick up the pieces and feel more like myself.  I still don't know that I'm wanting to train and race the rest of the year but at least I'm getting my mojo back.

16 in Payson canyon with Mack, Aubs, and Matty, 7:12 pace.  Such a gorgeous morning and this canyon is really so pretty.  

I truly cannot comprehend how people recover from actually all out racing this canyon.  I am so ridiculously sore and we took it easy.  That canyon has got to be an average of  ~10% decline the entire way?  It was fun but man I am getting old and my body just cannot handle the downhill like it used to.

5:30 am weights with the crew.

8 miles with AmberD on the Speedy Spanaird course out & back from the gym, 8:03 pace.  I cannot believe how sore I am from running (not racing) Payson canyon on Sat.  My body simply is not responding or recovering from hills and workouts well this year.

PM:  I took a nap after work and felt so lazy so I went for a 2 mile jog to make myself feel better.  Then I laid back down and ate an entire bag of caramel popcorn.  Yum!

8.5 mostly with my sista, 8:35 pace.  I'm trying to get Amber up to 20 miles a week for her half marathon in two weeks.  Happy 1st day of school.  I wore my new outfit...I'm not in school but I'll use any excuse I can find to justify shopping.

1 mile wu on the treadmill so slow.  I hate treadmills

Legs day - I'm still sore  from running down a cliff on Saturday so this was not pretty.

7 miles in the rain with AmberD, 7:55 pace.  LOVE running in the rain. :)  It makes me feel like a little kid again!

10.5 miles in Provo canyon after a way too early work meeting.  This was a nice good for my soul run by myself.  My watch isn't working right now but it was probably an ~8ish minute pace.

7.5 miles on the SF river trail with the Ambers, it took 66 minutes so we were not blazing.

I skipped weights this morning.  I am taking a class on Tues nights at the Weber Davis extension which is a 90 minute commute (without traffic or rain storms) each way from my house in Payson and a 3 hours class.  It is not awesome.  This fall is going to be fun....I feel like a zombie already.  Bring on Halloween.

8.5 with Jen and Amber in the orchards.  It felt fast...I don't think it was.  They ran 4 before meeting me and I was still trailing behind like a fat kid who has a smoking problem.
