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: |

| | Ok hopefully this works! Well today was my first "real" run in like 3 weeks. I ran 6 miles at the gym and felt really good and (really sweaty) the whole time. I ran an average 10:10-10:20 mile but managed to finish in 62 minutes. | |

| | Today I lifted 3 sets of 10. I usually do arms, legs, abs, back etc. about 2-3 times a week. I also ran 3 miles 10:01/9:57/9:43. I felt really good as if I could run more but I'm trying to stick to my training schedule and don't want to put too much stress on my body too fast. | |

Today I ran 4 miles at the fasted pace I have done in like 2 years. I'm starting to think it was a bad idea...my shins are mad at me right now. 9:30/9:06/9:21/9:56. I usually just run on the treadmill because WI is like anti-running trails plus it's just a safety issue. Anyway I want to get out on roads more so that I can train for races. Also I am doing a 5k in July, how do I work on speed without hurting myself? And what is a realistic goal? | |

| | Today I lifted 3 sets of 10 and did some deep stretching. David has a softball game tonight and a BBQ after. I plan to walk the softball neighborhood for about an hour. | |

| | This morning I ran 5.5 miles on the treadmill at a 10:20 pace. I wanted to stop after mile 2 because my shins were kind of hurting but I decided that they really didn't hurt bad enough to stop. Once I reached mile 3 I felt really good as if I could pick up the pace but I figured I better stick with a slower run and save my legs! | |

| | I decided to take the ipod and hit the road for the first time since who knows when. It felt really nice outside and I ran about 15 minutes and then walked for another 20. I'm not sure if I was going faster or slower than I normally do so I'm not quite sure how far I went. | |

| | I am super frustrated right now. I just ran 1 mile and about died, my shins are killing me. I decided to train on the elliptical for another 2 miles and that was better but my shins still hurt. I think I'll try to take it easy this week and focus on strength training and biking. Plus my bro's family is coming and I'm sure we'll do a lot of walking around. | |
