Personal:

I decided to join to hold myself accountable for my training and because I love learning from others running experiences.  I just started running a little over a year ago and have a lot to learn.  I work fulltime as a Manager of Telecommunications for Intermountain Healthcare and go to school online through Weber State University.  If you want to know more check out my blog: www.runningfortrevor.blogspot.com

easy recovery miles, 7:58 pace.  Hamstrings were a bit tight but other than that not much soreness from the race at all.  Completely opposite of the train wreck I felt like after SLC.

In salem with Jen, 7:38 pace.  A little tired but not sore at all really from the race and feet feel fine.  Such a frustrating and weird injury I am dealing with.  Hopefully I can get into a doctor this week to get an opinion and a little clearer diagnosis.

PM:  3.8 miles easy, 7:45 pace.  Felt really good.

Orchard loop with Jen, the orchards bloomed overnight and it is beautiful!  We had a good 4 mile push of sub-7 min miles that felt like a nice threshold type of effort.

We are meeting at 6am tomorrow morning at Walkers/Wendys in SF for a relaxed double (or single) loop along the River Trail if anyone is interested in joining.

Track workout solo this morning.  Jen couldn't make it but I still really wanted to get the workout in.

4 up/1.5 down 6 x 800 + 1 mile with 400 active recovery.  2:53, 2:56, 2:54, 2:53, 2:53, 2:51, 6:05 (aided on the road on the way home).  My goal was not to hammer these but to hit 2:55 and dial my legs into the faster turnover.  Tough workout but  mission accomplished.  I have obviously been watching way too much Yo Gabba Gabba with my niece & nephew because my mantra for the workout was "Don't stop, don't give up."

Feet were definitely noticeable when running fast.  I also forgot to wear gloves (it was 48 degrees) and my hands went into spasm as soon as I got home.  I couldn't even get my ring off my finger they were so swollen.  Could my Raynaud's in my fingers/hands be related to the feet issue?  The feet seem worse in the heat though...I'm so confused!  Dr. Appointment on the 23rd.

PM:  3 miles easy, 8:06 pace

A very much needed 8 miles after maybe 2.5 seconds of sleep and a lot more stress than I'm used to.  I would have called Jen but oh yeah thats right my iphone was lost/stolen last night.  My garmin also died yesterday so no idea on pace for the run.  It was however a lovely morning!

If you've tried to reach me at all I am not ignoring you I just lost (not just misplaced) my cellphone.  Went into target with a phone was there 10 min & left without one.  My brother in law has a tracker on my phone and it was disabled from the phone immediately....meaning most likely I sat my phone down somewhere and it was stolen.  After going through the target garbage can, retracing my steps 100 times, and checking with guest services x 10 I spent the remainder of the night on the phone with my companies IT service desk.  Losing an iphone sucks, losing a company phone that you depend on for work sucks even worse!

Thank you for letting me vent.  I am trying to keep this all in perspective and realize it could always be worse but if you see me I could really, really, really use a hug!

Some good news amongst my anxiety of the past 18 hours:  I have officially been switched from the full marathon 3:35 pacing assignment to the half marathon 1:40 for fargo.  What a huge sigh of relief!  Now I can focus on my own running and getting my feet better instead of stressing about how I 'might' hold up for a full.

Met up with Josse, Mac, Jen, & Rebecca way too early this morning for a run up hobble creek. The early morning was well worth the great company. I did a 5 mi tempo on the way down 6:31, 6:26, 6:26, 6:04, 5:58. Besides being tired from a lack of sleep the past two days I felt great for the run and really enjoyed running with these girls. 13 total

Went to my sisters house to run with her. I did 1 mi with the jogger and then quit to play at the playground instead. James and I constructed a massive rock castle for his dinosaurs while my sister completed the run.
