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!

I told David that I needed to run 2miles tonight and jokingly I asked if he wanted to come. He said sure so we headed outdoors and ended up running over 3 miles. Our time was 28:37 but I'm not sure what the splits were. It was such a beautiful night and our run felt really fast, it was just nice to run together....I'm hoping we can get out some more.

We headed down to Six Flags today and our ride was picking us up at the time that I normally work out so I had to get up earlier. Thanks to David for waking my sorry bum up and getting me to the gym. 4 fairly hard miles on the treadmill. 10 minute pace which I was pretty pleased with. Tons of walking (and sun) around the park today!

30 minute DVD in the morning, went sailing in the afternoon.....ate a lot of chips so David and I ran a little over 2 miles at night. It is getting hard to get some miles in, I would have thought that the summer would help but we have been super busy!

4.5-7- 9:30 pace

My knees were kind of hurting but I think I just needed to stretch a little more. I also probably need some new shoes...any suggestions? The run went by fairly fast...I finally got my ipod to work and downloaded some fun songs so that helped.

I felt really good today. It is always nice to do a shorter run after a longer one. David and I went on a bike ride by the lake...we went a little over 10 miles. It was so nice to get out and explore Milwaukee.

Ran 3 miles outside. I tried my nike+ipod but I think it needs some tweeking. It said I ran 3 miles (true) at a 7:23 mile pace (not true). I just can't figure out what is wrong with it. I drove the route and I did 3 miles, next time I need to bring my watch and make sure the times are accurate. Maybe tomorrow.

Ran 1.7 miles outside until I about died....waayy too hot and in need of water. I don't remember my time but later in the night David and I went to the track to see how accurate my nike+ is. It's a little off so I'll have to fix that but I ran 3 miles (accurate) in 42:24 (accurate).

1- 7:55

2- 8:15

3- 8:32

I'm a little sad that I kept getting slower but I was really happy with my time and how I felt. I'm a big believer in good music and cool weather!

I decided to run out on the track....that only lasted a mile and then I called it quits. It was so hot and muggy outside. I decided to hit the gym and finish my last 4 miles. Wow what a difference air-conditioning is.

Got a late start in the morning but went to the gym and ran 8 miles. REALLY didn't feel up to it but knew I would regret going home after 2 miles. Finished strong and felt happy about time and distance.

Ran an easy 3 miles tonight. The weather was perfect. My nike+ is still screwy so I ran until it said 3.75...I'm assuming I did atleast 3 miles.

Had the brilliant idea to run to David's work.....ugh! I left for my run at 10:00 and that was way too late in the morning. It was so humid and muggy out plus I didn't have any water for 5 miles. There were 2 really steep hills (ok they aren't that steep) but I was pushin' real hard. Anyway it felt nice to get a run in. I'm not sure my exact splits.

5 miles on the treadmill. It has been too humid to run outside (unless I wake up at like 4 or wait to run until like 9 pm). I've also had the problem of needing water during outdoor runs and there really aren't too many places that I know of.

1-2 -9:13

2-5- 9:05

I was feeling really sluggish today but I think I just needed some food or something.
