5 miles on the treadmill watching Princess Bride.  I haven't watched it in years!  It's a classic, though.  ;o)   Just for kicks, I thought I would really crank up the speed.  I tried 7:30 for a while.  Holy smokes, Lybi!!  How did you do your 5K at that pace?!?!  I'm so impressed.

I wanted to get at least one 10 miler before I try and race 10 miles in a week and a half.  But, my heart really wasn't in it this morning.  I think I still mentally don't like long distances.  It was hard to move my legs until mile 3 or 4 and then from mile 7 on, my left knee was hurting.  In fact, my last 1/2 mile, I was actually limping.  Bummer.   I do have to say that I love this area, though!  There are so many athletic people that the city maintains the trails nicely, provide multiple trails that intersect, and ... they have port-a-pottys occasionally.  hehe.

My hip was still a little sore from my run yesterday, so I did Yoga before a short 3 mile, easy run on the treadmill.  I like yoga - I should do it more often.

 Great job to all the St. George Marathon Runners!!  Running against the elements and still doing GREAT!  CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 

Today was a piece meal day - a little here and a little there.  My husband had an early morning YM activity, so I couldn't run first thing.  Instead, I did yoga before the first session of Conference.  Then, I ran 3 miles before the 2nd session.  After a birthday party for one of my daughter's friends and dinner, I ran 4 more miles on the treadmill. 

The first 3.15 were outside with an average pace of 9:38.  I wanted to run longer, but I only had a short time and my sweet 2 year old really wanted to run with me.  So, we "ran" around the neighborhood for about 15-20 mintues and then I ran as much as I could afterwards.  She's too cute.  I can't wait till she can run with me all the time.  It won't be long till she'll be faster than me!  She's a great little runner for a 2 year old!

Wasn't Conference GREAT!!!  Even with all our little distraction, I was able to enjoy quite a lot of it!  ;o)
