Personal:
David and I have been married since 2003, we've lived in AZ, UT (BYU, Health Science), WI and now we're back to our roots in CO. We have a little boy, Grant, who was born in 2009. I have never been a runner but like to pretend I am! I'm currently teaching aerobics in my church group and working on becoming a certified Personal Trainer through NASM. I'm pretty much obsessed with Full House, DQ Blizzards and Bajio. Sadly I don't have enough of these in my life! Favorite Blogs: |

| | Took the day off from running in hopes that my foot will feel better. I did a toning/cardio video and about 10 mins of core. I lifted at the gym and had time to bike for 15 mins. I really enjoyed biking and think I'll probably try to squeeze more of that in my workouts. | |

I planned on running 3, 4 if I was lucky...7 it was! I felt great-my shins hurt a little but not too bad. 1-8:20 2-6- 8:13 with 7:03 the last .25 of each mile 7-8:06 with 6:53 on two .25 of the run I'm just icing my foot and shins just to make sure things continue to feel well. Oh the YMCA that I go to doesn't require an appt for kid care anymore and they changed their hours so now I can take Grant whenever he wakes up from his nap and not have to worry about making it to the gym at a certain time. This is GREAT news! He seemed to really enjoy it yesterday and today.

Ugh! I swear if I can come up with an excuse to not run well I will! Last week my upper ankle/lower leg was really bothering me and I had a lot of pain with it this week. I decided to run anyway and that proved to be a silly decision! SHIN SPLINTS!!! It felt like my right leg was on fire and about to snap in two! I was hoping for 15 miles but could only manage 11 (12 if you count the mile I walked....which yes I am counting;) This was a very enjoyable run up until mile 9.5 when I had to walk home, stretch, grab a drink and ice ice ice. I was so frustrated with myself and MADE myself get out an finish my 15 miles. *if I can't do these long runs how am I supposed to run a marathon in 8 weeks???* I ran another mile, had to wobble home-stretch/ice, went out for another .25 miles and ended up walking home and calling it a day. I'll have to post my splits when my Garmin turns on.... 1-8:54 2-9:02 (tied my shoe) 3-8:34 4-8:43 5-8:37 6-8:51 7-8:54 8-8:57 9-9:01 (starting to hurt a lot) 10-10:34 (had to walk during the rest of my miles) 11-9:42 12-13:47 p.s. I'm going sugar-free this month. Ok well I get one "splurge" day---honey doesn't count right? I'm not counting it as sugar;)

| | 30 min toning/cardio workout. My shins/foot still bother me. I'm really thinking about bagging this whole marathon idea. | |
