Running For Trevor

4.8 easy around the Santaquin Orchards.  Feeling good and loving the nice weather. 

90 minutes walking at the track with my friend Julia and our pups. 

30 minutes weights at home - planks, pushups, and worked shoulders with my little 10lb dumb bells.

Ran for 60 minutes, 7.1 mi.  Gorgeous morning!  I have a friend that is selling her $15 Provo City 5k voucher and I am debating about whether to take it or not.  As I was running my 5k TT route from a few weeks ago this morning the though of going 2 minutes faster per mile made me just a little nauseous.

PM:  2 miles easy after spending the afternoon up Payson Canyon.  What a gorgeous night. :)

Sorry for no words....I am never short on words. :)  FRB will not let me type from my I-phone for some reason. 

40 minutes weights - a mixed bag of lifting....trying to turn myself into Hulk Hogan errr something.

8 miles running.  Ran the boring 2 miles of Downtown Spanish Fork to get to the the river trail and then 4 miles on the trail.  It was a gorgeous morning.  I have to admit I am kind of digging this marathon recovery/fun adventure run stuff.  What I am not digging is the gross smells and crappy drivers of Spanish Fork!

15 minutes elliptical when I got back to the gym just to catch up on the news.

4.5 hours playing with my nephew. 

2.5 macadamia nut cookies consumed so far......

It's been a good day! :)

PM:  just 1 mile with the pup.  It takes Izzy awhile to adjust to the heat and I didn't want to push her too hard.  Plus I was kind of tired myself. :)

Downtown Payson loop.  I ran one faster mile just to see if I could and it turns out I can - 6:56.  Minimal effort to hit that pace so I think that is a good sign.  Overall AP for the run was much faster than my normal recovery 8:05.  I am feeling good post marathon but still feel as though my legs are lacking that "bounce" in their step.  I will take 2 more easy days and then maybe attempt a mini workout this weekend.  I will play it by ear and see how I feel.

Can someone please explain to me how to steal my proofs from Boston off of the website?  Please and thank you!

PM:  2 miles easy.   Felt pretty tired which is hopefully just a result of staying up too late last night.

I have been totally slacking on the weights this week.  I'm probably starting to look skinnyfat!  ha ha oh well my body seems to want more sleep so I am listening.

7.35 miles from my house around the orchards in Santaquin.  Seriously such a gorgeous morning.  My 8 minute "easy" pace tells me that physically I am about 99% recovered from the marathon.

The $100 Boston Marathon jackets are on ebay for $50 if anyone didn't get one in Boston and wants one.  :) 

PM:  2 miles pushing the jogging stroller with my sister 10:08 pace.  My sister is trying to get back in shape so I offered to push the stroller so she could focus on running.  Aren't I nice?  Going to make myself do pushups/planks while I watch tv tonight.  I am feeling so soft and fluffy!!

I am seriously having a love afair with my pillow this week.  I just cannot seem to drag my arse out of bed.  haha!  Luckily I don't have to be to work until 9 on Friday and still got up with plenty of time for a good workout.

30 minutes weights at the gym working biceps & triceps.

Forgot my Garmin so I ran on the treadmill for the first time in like 3 weeks.  It really wasn't so bad once I got going.  8 miles at 2% incline at an even 8:00 pace.

AM #1:  First workout post Boston.  I totally psyched myself out and was really nervous for this workout for some reason.  I guess 10+ days of running slow will do that to you.  I have decided that about 90% of my running issues or self doubt are mental because physically I am in better shape than I have ever been.  Anyway the workout went really well.  I warmed up for 2 miles and then did a 3 mile tempo 7:03, 6:50, 6:41.  1 mile rest and then 1 mile at 5K pace 6:19.  2.5 mile cooldown.  I felt pretty good and was not planning to run the tempo portion quite that quick but it felt fluid so I just went with it.

AM #2:  Me and my sister won free entries to the Color Me RAD 5k held at UVU.  I did not wear a garmin but it definitely did not feel like a full 5k.  Anyway we went really slow, maybe 10+ minute miles and had a ton of fun!  I will have to post pictures we were totally covered.

AM #3:  Chasing my 4 neices and nephews that are all 2 years old around all day.  Seriously how do you people with kids do it?  I think I will be asleep by 6pm tonight. :)
