St. George Marathon

Just wanted to take a moment and say that I have been thinking about the runners of the St. George marathon that ran today! I am a little disappointed that we did not make it, but I really believe it was the right thing to do for us. :) We will be adding to our running journal again soon, and making it a regular occurrence!

3 Miles

We got up yesterday morning to run 8 miles and for some reason neither of us could make it out of the neighborhood! We ended up going about a mile in about 14 min! LOL. It is really discouraging that days like that exist. Especially when we are behind on our training. But I know they do and I just get to let it go! lol. Today we did not have a lot of time to run but we did get in three miles at the gym. Daniel's time was 29:48 and mine was 31:48. The movie today was Ferris Bueler's Day Off. At least it was a comedy! I also found out today that Christina is not going to run St. George anymore and my parents are probably not coming down. It makes me sad but I suppose I will get over it. :) I am really looking forward to the vacation with Daniel!

6 Miles

We ran six miles on the treadmill today. The farthest either of us have run on a treadmill. :) The Cinema room at Gold's Gym does make it bearable though. Today we watched about an hour of The Great Debaters, which is a movie we have wanted to see. :) Although from today's experience, I think they should stick to comedies instead of tear jerkers! :) We did not record our exact time but we were roughly at 65 Min! :) Not too shabby for the treadmill.

Gotta Love the Treadmill

We did not get up early enough to beat the heat today. We went to the gym and ran on the treadmill. Gold's Gym does have one bonus though, you can run in the dark in front of a big movie screen. Something to take your mind off of the boring treadmill! LOL. As you can see from the results Daniel had the better time... He is such a good push for me!

We're Back!

4 Miles
40:55
Split 19:41/21:14

We took about six weeks off of running to allow Daniel time to heal from his surgery. It felt really good to get out there and run! Although Daniel was the one recovering, he kicked my butt.... I could barely keep up with him. LOL. With just over 7 weeks ahead of us before the St. George Marathon we have our work cut out for us! But I am excited that we get to take this journey together.

3 Mile Run!

Okay, Okay, so not only have I been slacking on running, I have not been good about keeping up on this blog. I could blame it on school, or work, or the kids, but I won't. I will just do better! We have run a few times since the last entry, but I am not going to try to catch up. I am just going to start fresh. However I will be posting the story of the Garden City Half Marathon on the other site.

3 Miles
32:27
Split: 16:04/16:23

As much as we did not want to run this morning... I am so proud of us!

5 Mile Run

1;06:35
The Split:24:49/41:46
First half went really well. First two miles in 18 min. Half a mile into the second half I was getting a side stitch (more in my right lung than in my side) so we stopped to walk for a second. Then the nausea set in. I felt like I would be lucky not to throw up. We made it home, but as you can see we walked the rest of the way. I felt bad to make Daniel walk with me, but there really wasn't much I could do. I am glad we got the miles in. :)
