| New Year's Day run with my siblings- Mary, Doug, and John. 9:15 pace. This was a beautiful run out and back on Wasatch. I still have my baby weight and I felt a little out of shape running with them, but I had a great time. It may have been difficult because of the cold & high elevation. Excited to be back on the blog and start the new year off right!
Day 1 of Boston training!

| 5.5 miles loop at about a 9:10 average pace with the group. I felt ok and only a little out of breath. It is nice to have others there pushing me. Very tired today, maybe from getting up early or maybe from the run

| 6 mile loop around Webb hill with Karen. Ave about 10 min pace. She was feeling really light-headed from not eating enough, so the 1/2 half of the run we slowed down and walked up the hills. My knee and hip were feeling a little tight so I will wait til Tuesday to do my long run. Still it felt great to be out running! St George is so beautiful

| 3 miles on the treadmill- about 6.3 mph/ 9:30 pace. Not a hard run, but I just really don't like running on the treadmill. I need to remember this when I'm tempted to shut off my early morning alarm! At least I still ran- I usually don't do this if I've slept in.

| 10 miles through bloomington hills & the mayors loop. Ave pace 9:38. Kinda boring to go that far alone. But I felt pretty good the whole time and the weather wasn't too cold. I need to get my speed/cardio fitness back so I can join my friends on the long runs. But I guess that is pretty good considering baby turns 3 months tomorrow. Now I just need to focus on my nutrition so I can still nurse.
Lost one of my brand new running gloves :(

| 5.5 mile bloominton Loop with Lesa - 2 minutes faster than I ran this last week. About a 8:45 pace & I felt pretty good. Slowly, but surely my conditioning is improving - still have a ways to go to be where I was before the pregnancy. My left knee and hip are a little tight - I will do some yoga and extra stretching this weekend.

| Treadmill run:
10 mins@6.0, 5 min @ 7.0, 5 mins@ 7.5, 5 mins@8.0, then gradually back down to 6.0. Total time was 31 mins.
I felt pretty good. Next time I'll try to hold the tempo speeds a little longer.

| 12 miles- 9:20 pace, loop around coral canyon, then I ran about 4-5 miles down the dogtown 1/2 marathon course, then back up. The last four miles were tough coming back with grades up to 12%.
Longest run since last July!!

| We are in Cancun this weekend on a company retreat. I got out for just 4 miles on the beach. I watched the sunrise over the ocean as I ran. So beautiful! I did bring an iPod but had it off the whole time so I could enjoy listening to the waves crashing.

| Another great run in Mexico! 1.5 miles - slow on the beach Then 3 miles on the treadmill - ave pace 7.5 - I started at 7.0, then gradually made it up to 8.0, then came down to 7.5 for the last mile. - this felt very hard for me even at sea level, but hopefully it will help me get some speed back eventually. The workout room was really hot and stuffy! Then the reward of another 1.5 slow beach miles- so beautiful! I will miss this place, but I'm excited to see my kids |

Thanks to Downton Abbey, this may be a new treadmill record for me- I think I've never done much more than 4.

| I wanted to run at least 14 today, but I found out Paul made plans to go canyoneering in Orderville and wanted to leave at 7- we compromised and he changed his plan to 8. With the baby waking up twice last night- the earliest I could get myself up was 5:45 & I slowly got ready. I was able to do a 1.8 mile loop to Brigham road, then back around by sdessert hills before meeting Karen at 6:20. Karen and I ran 10 miles together and went up Bloomington hills onto the trail, then got on the mayors loop- then up Brigham hill at the end. My energy was pretty good considering how tired I was last night and this morning. I brought 5 honey stinger chews (pink lemonade)and gave 2 to Karen. Those tasted pretty good and were even ok without water. Unfortunately the water fountains are still all turned off- maybe next time I'll bring water. I don't want to get dehydrated since I'm still nursing. When I got back i checked on the baby and kids and they were fine, so I put Abby in charge for a few minutes and went out for 1 more mile. ave pace about 9:40 (including a few stops) 13.1 miles- halfway there!

| Treadmill workout. This has been one of those days when I've had my running clothes on all day and can't seem to find time to run. I was finally going nuts, so instead of making dinner, I decided to get on the treadmill and watch Harry potter with the kids. They are eating a frozen pizza right now :/ - but that's ok- I cook most nights for them.

14:00- warm up- 6.3
Got off to feed the baby ;)
3:00 - warm up 6.3
5:00 - went from 7.5 up to 8.0
got off again to calm the baby
3:00 - recover 6.0
5:00 - 7.5 up to 8.0,
3:00 - recover 6.0
5:00 - 7.5 up to 8.0,
3:00 - recover 6.0
5:00 - 7.5 up to 8.0

| Squeezed in an easy treadmill run before my kids got up. Started out around 9:30, then sped up to 8:20 for the last 15 mins.
tried out the new Hokas- they super cushioned and feel great. I didn't feel fatigued in my calves at all from the lower heal drop, but I will still wait to use these for a long run until I go on a few more runs in them to get used to them
