Happy New Year!!!  I was too tired this morning to meet the BBK's, so I ran 3 easy treadmill miles.  Then I went with my family to see Marley and Me.

Michelle and I ran from my house out to 11800.  The shoulder was icy so we came back to my house and ran down to the trail almost to Bangerter and back.  It was so windy.  We had some great conversation to help pass the time.

Met the BBK's at the trailhead at 9800 S.  It was Emily's first time running with us.  It was nice getting to talk to her.  We ran on the trail and up into Parkway Palisades and back.  Emily and Michelle M. couldn't get their cars up the icy hill of the parking lot.  We had to push/pull them out.  I was glad I have 4 wheel drive.  It was a good run.

Met the BBK's to run the soon to be Riverton 1/2 marathon course.  We had a great turn out.  We even got Riverton Paul to brave the cold and run with us.  It was fun chatting with Teena, Paul and Cal for several miles.  There were a few times I felt pretty tired and wanted to slow down, but overall I felt pretty good.  Thanks Teena for sticking with me.  Average pace 8:33.

I met the BBK's at the Riverfront parking lot.  We warmed up for 2.8.  Then we ran a 2 mile loop and then out to Tithing Hill and back.  We were taking it easy today, which is good because I didn't have a whole lot of energy.  I got to run and talk with Kelli and Rachel the last few miles.  They are awesome.  It really helped the time fly by.

No running today.  My daughter received an award this morning for Student of the Month at her high school.  It was worth missing my run.  I'm a proud mom.

I drove down with Michelle N., Cheris, Michelle M., Kris and Dean.    We stayed at the Comfort Inn which made it very easy to walk to and from the race.

I started out with Michelle and Teena.  My plan was to start out slower and pick up the pace as the race went on.  That didn't happen.  I went out too fast for me and ran out of gas at mile 7.  I said goodbye to my friends.  I decided to take my second gu at mile 7.7.  I think that is what caused me to get sick.  I ended up using the POP at the 10 mile water station.  It was so frustrating to get passed by so many people those last 5 miles.   Jody was so sweet and tried to pull me along, but I couldn't do it.  I finished 6 minutes slower this year than last year.  Anyway, it was a fun weekend.  I'm done with my runner's series races.  YEA!!!!

My garmin showed the distance as 13.27, so my splits are probably not correct.  Here they are anyway.    8:05, 8:00, 7:53, 7:49, 8:06, 7:32, 7:51, 7:59, 8:29, 8:16, 10:06 (bathroom break), 8:41, and 8:49.

Met the BBK's at Elk Ridge Middle School.  Warmed up for 2.5 with Jody, Mike and Walter.  Then met up with the rest of the group.  We made our way up to the hill by the park.  Then we did several hill sprints and ran back.  The air was yucky and hard to breathe.  We had a big group today.  It was fun.

I met Cheris, Jody, kris, Dean and Alan at Bingham to run our SJ 1/2 marathon route.  It was rainy and windy.  We regrouped a few times which helped us get our extra mile in.  The company was great.  Average pace 8:44 with one fast finish mile at the end.

I ran the first 8 miles of the Newton Hills treadmill run.  I haven't done this in a few weeks and it was tough.  I also did my core work out.

Met the BBK's at Peggy's house this morning.   After the warm up we ran up and down a long hill 4 times.  Then we found a shorter hill that we ran 6 hill sprints on.  I felt something pull in my left hamspring on the first sprint, so I took it easy on the next 5.  Then we ran back to Peggy's house.  It was a great run.  3 miles at marathon pace on the long hills and the rest of the miles were slower. 

Ab workout and 5 sets of 10 push ups.

Met the BBK's at the 9800 S. trailhead.  We warmed up for 1.5 miles, ran a 3.5 mile tempo run,  then we cooled down.  Our last tempo mile was a 7:12 pace.  I haven't run that fast in a while.  It felt great.
