Nice morning for a run. Ran a little farther than I had expected but felt great at the end.

Biked hard for 40 minutes then did weights and 30 push ups. My husband has a track meet in Delta tomorrow. My brother lives there so we are going up tonight. Going to try and do 12 miles.

I thought it would be colder in Delta for my run so I packed my long sleeved shirt and jacket, gloves and hat. about mile 2 I took off my jacket and hid it behind a bush. I was running along the highway but there was very little traffic and there was a wide shoulder. I did 6 miles out and then turned around. I was attempted to do only 10 because at mile 5 the highway dips down into a valley with steep hills on both sides, they are both equal to Veyo hill but I decided to just do it and plunged ahead. It was windy of course.. It is Delta. My girls hadn't slept very good the night before they never do when we are away from home so my saturday morning run was a bit slower because I was feeling a little sleep deprived,.

We got home late last night and didn't get to bed until midnight. I was exhausted. My girls didn't sleep good friday night or saturday. I couldn't get up until 7:30 I got my daughter Jadzia to school then forced myself to get on the treadmill. I started watching an episode CSI Las Vegas. The first episode ended and I had only gone 5 miles so I started the next episode on the dvd because I wanted to do at least 6.50 miles. I got interested in the show and the next time I looked down it said 8 miles. I stopped and then decided to lift a few weights so I could watching the episode.

My husband had to leave at 6:30 a.m. for a meeting so I did my tempo run on the treadmill. My legs felt very sluggish. I was aiming for a 4 mile tempo run at 7:10 but ended up doing 1 mile at 8:20 mph. 1 mile at 8 mph. 2 miles at 7:30 mph and only 2.25 miles at 7:10. My legs were feeling better and I wanted to run another 1.75 miles but ran out of time. Had to get my daughter up and ready for school. I really need to get to bed earlier at night so I can get up earlier in the morning but my girls are such night hawks it takes forever to get them to bed then I practically have to hold them down for them to go to sleep.

Rode my bike for 40 minutes.  Increased the resistance today. Ate a chocolate chip cookie to help me with my  arm and leg weights.  Did 30 pushups.    My arms are dead!  There has got to be a better way to keep in shape!

My run today was not easy. There should be a tab that says hot slow miles. I got up at 5 a.m. then got my girls up 20 minutes later. At 6:40 we were off to the dance competition. For next four hours I sat in the Burns Arena and watched dance after dance. Finally at 11 both my girls were done. I wanted to go home and take a nap but I forced myself to put on my running clothes and headed out. I knew if I laid down I would never get out. It was hot and my miles were sluggish. I decided not to worry about time or average. I ran through a few neighborhoods in Santa Clara to look at their landscaping.

What an exhausting day. I got about 3 hours of sleep Wednesday night. The exec. council at Snow Canyon wanted to have a sleep over. Jamie and I, of course, had to chaperone. You know you are getting old when you can't stay up all night and then bounce back with a couple hours of sleep. Felt sluggish all morning. My girls were out of school and wanted to do stuff. I finally got to take a small nap in the afternoon. Felt better after so I headed out for a run. Didn't really push myself. The first couple miles were slower but then got in the groove and kept about a 8:30 avg.

Went to bed early and slept until 8. I finally feel like I have recovered from lack of sleep on wednesday night. Since my hubby had the day off I decided to run instead of my usual bike ride. Tomorrow he is helping with the triathlon so I'll probably have to just do 6 or 7 outside and some on the treadmill. I should have done my long run today but got up to late. Only four more weeks of track season. Yeah! Signing up for the St. George marathon again this week. Can't believe it is already that time again.

My neighbor called me last night and said she would keep an eye on my girls. I was very grateful since I wasn't looking forward to doing half of my run on the treadmill. Woke up at 6 a.m. and headed out at 6:30. I was a little cold at first but after four miles I warmed up. It was a great morning for a run. I love the bike lane Santa Clara put in I just wish it went all the way up. Snow Canyon parkway is beautiful with all the flowers and cactus in bloom. Passed quite a few runners and walkers. 8:23 avg

Going to the kite festival later today. Hopefully there will be wind.
