| I finally got out and ran with trepedation due to pulling my right hamstring. I've ben babying it for a week now and it seemed to be getting better, well not all the way better, so I'm sort of pushing it little fast but it wasn't to bad. I'll take some Advil and do some streaching. Sammy the snow dog had fun though and it was sunny and bright with all the new snow so what the hay. | |

| First all the good things about my run; it was a pretty nice sunny day, it was my day off work, I had all day to run and work out in our gym down stairs. Now the bad things; my asma was bad today, Sammy was slow and stuburn, my hamstring problem was worse and streaching didn't help., I had no energy and felt like giving up. That being said I made it to five miles and I'm glad I did it. | |

| Three mile out-and-back south on parkway with my pack (Brent, Sammy, and me). Then a five mile out-and-back north, the trail was happily in pretty good shape we even ran on the dirt trail. The worse part was running into the wind, it was fearse, cold, and difficult to breath with my asthma, making it feel twice as far. | |

Waited and waited for the snow to stop when it finally did, it was almost to my knees! Sammy the snow dog was ready to go so I decided I was ready too, man what a hard run the parkway was NOT cleared makeing it feel twice as far.
Poor Snow Dog developed high heel ice paws with snowman packed legs she could hardly walk, let a lone run. I had to pick out her feet and legs a coulple of times. Hope the race Saturday isn't like this. | |

| Three with snow dog on the parkway, it was cleared but a little icey in spots. I felt pretty good so when I was free of Sammy I did some pickups and it was a mistake I pulled the same hamstring! Not as bad as last time but I was really disapointed in my hamstring problem. | |

I put 3.1 fast miles which is reletive to the pain in my hamstring, sometimes running the best you can is fast under the conditions. Brent has told all the fun things about the race; the people from the blog, old running freinds, and the (party) after the race. All were good times.
Now with the first race of the year under my running shoes I will heal my injuries and train harder to be up to speed with my lovey hubby. | |

We ran south on the Murray Parkway a mile and a half, beautiful day! Comming back a majestic bald egale flew right over our heads I turned around to follow it flying south along the river it was a beaultiful sight. We droped the snow dog off and then ran north two miles, there were many patches of ice and we had to hop scotch a lot. On our return trip the wind picked up and it was a lot harder to hop scotch and run.
I want spring now not in six weeks!

After work it was nice and sunny so I decided to get out, three with the snow dog, then three with Hubby brent.
As the sun was going down with a mile left we saw the owl flying low over cold misty river I felt the night coming and wanted to get home as quick as possible before we froze. Brent couldn't keep up when I picked it up and my hamstring is ok.

Pretty nice day I think it is probably the warmest day this year. We had fun talking to some of our fellow blogers before the start. I think we have the nicest people around on our blog.
Brent and me ran a mile and a little to warm up. The start went off without a hitch, I felt pretty good the first mile 8:15 pace. In the second mile I began to feel the pain in my hamstring begin, by mile five I could't reach a full stride without pain. So I had to slow down to a bearible speed.
It was fun before and after but I could have done without the hamstring pain. Kim I hope the picture turned out good.

Ran two miles south with Snow Dog Hamstring still bad so I'm going to get a deep tissue massage this afternoon. I told myself if on my run today it felt better I'd cancel.
Beautiful day lots of geese and ducks on the parkway making a lot of noise.

Why did they have to start the race at 8 am? It was very cold and far from home this morning. Because I knew it was really cold I took my mask for my asthma and I was glad I did. The course was mostly dry but at most corners and intersections there was a snow-ice combo, so hop scotch was the order of the day. The hills were the big obsticale for my hamstring and breathing, too bad there was more up hill than down hill.
Mostly I feel it was a wake up call for how much I need to do more hill training!

I procrastinated the morning away cleaning the house. So by the time Sammy and me ran a loop east of our home (for the challenging hill) I was already tired. Dropped her off then ran north on the parkway two miles the air was chewy polution flavor.
Hopefully the weather will someday be warm and beautiful and I'll have more fun running.

I ran three loops first loop south with Sammy, second east up a pretty steep hill and down, the third north on the parkway. Inbetween a short drink break, I felt good most of the time but tired out on the last loop.
I plan to do the hill loop nearly every run to change up my training.

I'm finally feeling a little better so I'll say a little more about my run (I'm tired of only complaining and making excuses). It was so... nice out side, birds making their return appearance to the parkway. It really felt like spring so I ran with no jacket and got a little cold, oh well it was worth it.
Three with Sammy then droped her of and ran my east loop up Bullion hill as fast as I could push, like my 5K pace then ran a little slower to recover. Then pushed again down Green Oaks finally on the Parkway another push to our driveway.

This is a commando course, in fact Special Forces could train on this course. I was NOT happy with my time but was happy with my effort. I attacked all the hills with as much as I could but because of my asthma I would walk a bit to regain my breathing.
Hopfully this work out will help me in the Canyonlands race next Saturday.
Brent and I had a couples deep tissue massage this afternoon and I think it really helped.

Sammy and me ran south on the parkway one and a half miles with a freezeing cold wind from the northwest it made my face burn. I then ran north on the parkway another mile and a half. My legs were tired from the first stride but I knew after I warmed up It would be OK but no I was tired the whole way oh well I got it done.
Hope this isn't how the race will be Saturday.

Ran south on the Parkway one and a half miles with Sammy. Besides being cold my knee is still popping and now my hip hurts every stride. I hope I'll be able to run ok Saturday. I stoped at three hoping to not make things worse.

So I ran pretty good for being injured I feel like I'll never run injury free (big sigh). Before the race Brent and I walked up the trail behind the porta poties boy they smell. When we met up with Bethany and Paul it was so fun to meet buddies from blog they are really nice. Then Brent had to go.. and there was big long lines at porta poties so we ran up towards the start to one lone potie with no line. Then we waited a while for the start it was nice to have Brent to talk to usually he runs the half.
First mile ran good, felt relativly pain free and kept Brent in sight which means I'm doing ok for me. About 7:50 pace.
Second mile the hill did in my breathing which was the bigest problem for me this time. Pace 8:30.
Third mile I had to walk awile to use my quick acting inhaler (you have to hold your breath for 10 seconds, if I'm breathing hard I can't hold my breath that long). I didn't look at my watch again so I don't know my pace.
Forth mile my breathing was a little better tried to pick it up. So glad to turn that corner and see the water stop. Took a cup then since I could catch my breath I used my inhaler again, I wonder if some sort of pollen was out down there to cause my bad asthma.
Finally I saw the finish and also saw Brent I was so happy to see both!

Sunny cold day just looking outside it looks warm don't be fooled. I ran a mile and a half south on the parkway with sammy when I droped her off I put on a headband and gloves burrrr. Then I ran a mile and a half north on the parkway. I did see three other runners with their dogs.
I want to thank the bloggers for their great comments on the Canyonlands race. I haven't run hardly at all since then because of sciatica, my right leg problems (hamstring, knee, and achillis) turned into sciatica I couldn't hardly sit all the way home from Moab. So I've been streching and doing core exersices. This is the first run in five days I stoped about every quarter mile to strech I do have some pain but not unbearable.
bye now

The Barney pack ran south on the parkway mile and a half then we droped Sammy off. and ran another two and half north on the park way. Both Brent and I are injured so we stopped frequently to stretch. We picked up our pace on hills and when we passed people like normal. I felt a little pain but all in all I think I'm getting better and it is finally SPRING! I ran in shorts!

I ran 2.5 miles north on the parkway. I still have some discomfort from the sciatica but I think it is finally getting better.
There was a fire about a mile north of us yesterday, it burned a couple acers just where the foxes had their den for the last few years there is no way they will be able to use the den now its so bare. I feel bad about this loss.

I returned home from work early, then I took my weekly quiz (100%!) so I had no excuse to not run. Four miles north on the parkway it was sunny but cold wind was chilling even with layers.
More fire on the parkway I wonder who is setting them.

Waited till afternoon to run hopeing for warmer temp. but it was a chilly out like a lion March 31st. I ran north three miles and saw birds of prey, daffy love ducks and geese.
Im looking forward to getting out of town, not so much to the Striders race. I'll be useing it to train for the Salt Lake Half but I still would like to run well.

I knew I wasn't in great shape due to injuries but it was kind of ugly toward the end. We pluged in my Garmin and the number of up and down lines at the end looked like I was making up all sorts of lies on a lie detector test.
Age has some benefits though I did place third in my divison. But I could barly stand sitting all the way home, glad it wasn't farther. Now we have a sports massage at 4:oo. Maybe it will help.

Sammy didn't want to run so I ran four miles north on the parkway alone. But it was a beautiful day! Sunny with a lot of south wind (good resistence training). Saw quite a few other runners and wondered if they were running saturday's SL race. Had time to wonder about a lot of things, how come ducks and geese get so tame this time of year they just watch as I run by with in a few feet? And many other silly wonderings. I felt good but still had siatica after.

I was going to wait untill I knew my place in the race but I'll update my blog later.
I can't complain about the tempeture, nice before during and after. The main problem with the weather was the wind (yecks it was super big kite wind)!
The first half of the race I ran between 8:30"s and 8:45, then I slowed down a bit becase of my siatica and shoulder problems at least I didn't have much athma.
I could not find Brent after and wandered around alot trying to find him gave up and got my gear bag and went back to the truck again when he finally showed up. Glad to get home.
I'll update later bye:) | |

Ran two and a half miles north on the parkway. What a crazy weather day sun, wind, snow, and that was repeated many times. Its so nice to have the wildlife back despite the cold spring. Redwing Blackbirds have a interesting call that always makes me feel like its finally spring.
Over all I pushed the hills and pick it up hopeing for a good race Saturday.

Is this May or March? Cold South wind and two short rather steep hills but other than that it was a good race. I don't know my splits because the miles weren't marked but I think pushing up hills on my runs have helped. A cute plaque for top three in each age division.

Ran south on the parkway with Sammy one mile then I had to make a conference call for my work. Then I ran north on the parkway two miles saw a big garden snake sun bathing across the path so I chased it toward the river so it wouldn't get run over by a biker.
Came back and waited for my freind Sally to get home from work to run three more miles. We are going to run the Race For The Cure saturday, Its her very first race. She did really well tonight and I think we will propably be able to run 8:30 pace.

One mile south with Sammy nice day just the right temp. for running! Then ran two miles north on the parkway. Running back on the dirt trail a big dog on a long leash ran up to me and hit me hard with its nose the owner was indifferent and said oh she just wanted to smell you. I just don't like being touched by strange dogs and gave her a look but she just walked on. I wish dog owners would control their dogs!

This was not a normal 5K for one everyone had the same number there were lots crazy inexperienced runners and a huge amount of goodies at the end.
It was my friend Sally's first race so it was her first pr, she was really happy it was the best she had run so far (only two months).

| Had to wait for flooring installer to come and of course he was a few hours late. Took off about 1:45pm, ran north on the parkway wasn't paying attention and ran past the three and a have point. Then I realized I had a conference call at 3 o'clock yicks I had to move out fast! I hardly stoped to get a drink. Well I did get back at 3:07 and broke into the conference call, my superviser didn't sound pleased but I did get a little speed workout.:) | |

Since achellis still felt pretty serious I decided to switch to the 5K and so did Brent. So we jogged walked to the start. The wind was really blowing and the tempture felt chilly, just right for a race.
First mile pace was 7:40, heal was hurting already.
Second mile pace was 8:20
Third mile pace 8:30
Tenth 1 min.
I don't think I did more damage to my heal hopefully.

Ran out into the glorious morning, immediatly I heard something unusual almost like a cottentail rabbits thumping but more drum like then I lookaround and see it's a Downey Woodpecker. Later I see the red eared turtle, I tried to take a picture of it. I bought a Bean Camera thats made to take hikeing and such.
It was a fun run.:) | |

I'm Glad to have that race done, it was a real foot and quad slapper!
The first two miles were flat or a little up hill. Then look out! major down hill for four miles. At five miles my watch was 39:50. after the six mile mark it all caught up to me! I had to stop a couple of times (maybe more than a couple) to use my inhaler. The air was crisp but smokey and the altitue being almost 8,ooo feet, my asthma was a little worse than usual.
But all in all it was a smokin first half and a hang on to the end second half. With beautiful senery and a good breakfast in the park after.
