| I was so excited to post my Saturdays run UNTIL I just used the course tool and found out I only ran 1.7 before my knee started hurting. I walked until 2.5 - so even with walking I didnt go 5k - Im so bummed!! | |

| Did Yogo and rode the bike. After meeting a lot of northern runners this weekend prior to Painters, I feel inadequate being on this runners blog. However, I get a lot of inspiration from everyone and one day when I finish a race, you all can say "I knew her when..." Im still having constant pain with my hamstring, it feels like I have a wooden leg. My husband wants me to go to the doctor, but he will just tell me to stay off it and stretch, so I havent gone.

| Beautiful morning here is
STG. It must have rained during the night, the streets were a little
wet. It was a warm 50 degrees, it felt and smelled like a spring
morning. Took the dog for a mile run then a mile walk, rode the bike to stretch out my "peg leg". Hammie still hurting. Happy Friday!

| Reevaluated my goals due to my "injury". I have to get my head on straight and get out and move around. I am gaining weight as I type!! With my leg hurting, I didnt even attempt to run, did Yoga then went on a 2 mile walk. Stretched a lot after wards. Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday are my days to be outside before work either walking or running. | |

| I take my big American Bull dog with me in the mornings, this morning we were on our usual route when she spotted a rabbit. She took off like a bullet, dragging me along, we must have been at a 4 min mile pace for over a 100 yards,before I got her to stop. I only out weigh her by about 35 pounds so it took every ounce of me to stop her. What an adventure. We ended up on another street than I normally dont take but Im sure I still got my mile run in AND my mile walk. Did AM/PM Yoga afterwards- it helps when I get up on time, I can accomplish a lot more before work.

| I cant explain my exhaustion! This morning as I laid in bed, thoughts of my blogging friends went through my head; If they can run 10+ miles everyday, then I can run 1 mile today. I got up and ran a mile. Walked a block warm up and a block cool down, did half my Yoga DVD. Im sticking to Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday no matter the pain or lack of energy.

| Got a Pilates DVD from the Library yesterday. Its a 40 minute workout, but broke down into 4, 10 minute work outs. Depending on what time I roll out of bed, depends on many segments I can get through. Today was a short and sweet 10 min.

| I took advantage of the Beautiful weather here in STG and spent most of the day outside. Before my runs I usually dont have/make time for a warm up, but today I walked over a half mile before I ran my 1.5 mile loop. I think it really helped stretch my leg out before I ran , I'll need to do more of that this week. Also went on a leisure bike ride with my husband and one of my sons. Great day!

| I woke up on time to get my little 1.5 mile run and yoga in but my two older boys are taking their UBSCT tests starting today, and I wanted them to have a healthy breakfast. They usually pour a hefty bowl of cold cereal, but I want their minds sharp, and Captin Crunch dosnt cut it! Theres something about Mom being in the kitchen that draws all the kids and conversations into it. We had a great morning but by the time my husband took them to school it was 7:45. Last month I would have bagged running, but not now, Im sticking to my goal!! I did a quick mile, quitck stretch, quick shower all before my next car pool and off to work.

| Half the battle is getting out the door. After breakfast was made for my growing boys, I went outside with the intent to run even though I didnt have much time and my leg hut. I ran a few house then bagged it. My leg was hurting and I wasnt in the mood. I came back and rode the stationary bike. |

Im So proud of myself! I really struggle with time constraints . I have so much on my plate and Im so worried about failure that I sometimes dont try, therefore I wont fail. BAD BAD I know!
Today I walked/ran for 41 min. I wanted to go 30 and I did it! I ran a mile then walked then ran the other 1.5 miles. My leg hurt in between but I walked with wide strides to stretch out my leg and was able to run again. Now I know I can do it. I can accomplishment my running goals (just got to keep my leg injury free). | |

I ran my fastest mile this morning. Because of the cold and wind! It was so cold, I just wanted to get done and back home. I have acclimated to STG really fast.
With my warm up and cool down I did 1.5 | |

| It was raining this am , STG streets dont drain well, so a little bit of rain fills the roads fast. I skipped my walking warm up and ran a quick .25 then home to ride the bike inside and do yoga. Good start to a busy day. But Im really getting behind on my goal of 20 miles this month. Im going to have to get busy over the long weekend.

Forgot today was Tuesday until I was laying in bed remembering all the fun things I did this long weekend. By then I didnt have time to leave the house for my Tuesday jaunt. I rode my bike inside while I signed homework notes and dished out lunch money. My boys have basketball games tonight, if its not raining I will run when I drop them off instead of sitting there for 30 min prior to the game starting. Got to use my time better! 7pm - I went for a night runtonight. I really liked it other than it was hard to see, I might switch my runs to night. Im not a morning person, and running at night helped me keep my food intake down. This could work out!

| Woke up at 1am with intense pain in my hamstring. I liked the night run last night, but I need my sleep and don't like pain (hugh go figure) :)
Did AM/PM Yoga, hope this helps out today.

| Since my last run I have really worked hard to get healthy and healed. In my life thats making a lot of changes but Ive done it! Ive kicked my liquid consumption, went to the Dr about my knee, (Im taking Diclofenac which has taken 99% of the pain away) and Ive stretched daily for my hamstring pull. I have ridden my stationary bike a few times, played soccer, baseball and woffelball with my kids without pain for the past 3 weeks. Ive come to the realization that I will never be a "real runner" like others on this blog, but I can still go out there and run and feel good about doing it. I can spend 15 min a day on the stationary bike and I can run a mile every day. I will find the time to do that for myself!
Overall I am feeling better, Im a little nervouse to try running again but I think Im ready. Tommorrow is the big day (as long as the weather holds up) :)

| I did it! I ran a mile this am. I felt like a ton of bricks. Every step was like running through knee deep mud. I could see where I needed to go to get to the .5 mile marker - I kept my eyes fixed on it and just kept trudging along. Made it there, turned and kept running back. I finished the mile, did a little walk cool down, then rode the bike inside. Finished with a great stretch. So far, no pain in knee or hamstring. Lungs hurt a little but thats because I havent used them in 2 months.

| My leg was a little tight Wednesday, so I didnt try running yesterday or today. But tomorrow we are heading to Vegas and I plan on running/walking with my sister in law there. Its amazing how fast muscle can turn to jiggle, but just after running once this week I can feel those muscles again (Im sore from running a mile - lol). But its a good sore!! By mid May I wont be singing "Watch it jiggle, see it wiggle" as I run.

| My leg is still doing pretty good. Had some pain this weekend in my knee from all the stairs and walking. Im so fatigued that I can hardly function at work. So no running - I need to ration my energy. I did ride the bike and had a great stretch this am.

| My family and I are running in a little race Saturday. Im pretty excited!! I havent run in a race since 2004. My leg is getting better and I hope that after this race I get the "running bug" back. I use to enjoy running. We have been going for run/walks at night for the past 2 weeks. Im looking forward to having my family with me juring my debut back, it will help ease the pre race jitters. My 16yr old already told me hes going to kick my b*#@.

My youngest took 1st, middle son took 2nd my husband 3rd and I trodded in at 8th place. So everyone had a Medal except for me. Thats ok, I did it, I finished it and Im proud of my family.

| Reading other blogs is the only thing that got my big back side off the couch to run. It was my motivation! I havent been feeling well for months but then no one else feels great and yet "they" still go run. I ran a mile, walked another mile and rode the stationary bike 2 miles.

| Went for a walk then rode the bike while watching the Lakers/Nuggets Game. Knee was a little sore from yesterday - not too bad though - scale 1-10- its about 3. Im improving.
I woke up hungry again today. Thats a good thing, instead of eating at night Ive been exercising.

| I have 2 boys that play baseball - so my nights are spent at the ball fields. Last night I parked in the back a block away then walked up to the field. I enjoyed the walk, but after the game my son didnt enjoy carrying his huge bag all over STG. (It wasnt That far......) I also rode my bike 5 miles while catching the last of the Cavs vs Magic.

| My sons started a paper route today and it was one of those nights where there were 10 things to get done in between 5-7:30. Being the awesome Mom that I am... : ) I helped them out with the route. I rode my bike with sacks of papers and maneuvered with ease for 45 min while fighting the elements of dogs, cars and 95+ heat. My discovery with this is that riding outside is much more difficult than riding the stationary bike inside. I dont know how far I rode so I came home and rode another 5 miles (just so I could post something). I strated taking my anti-inflammatory medicine again, my IT is starting to hurt.

| Went to my sister in laws in Ephraim UT this weekend. It was beautiful there, green grass, rain and clouds. Something I dont see a lot of here in STG. We worked all weekend, weeding, cleaning and organizing (we did manage to fit in a few dirt bike rides). I must have gone up and down the basement stairs 100 times carring box's from the garage. Too bad I cant count all those miles. Drove home today, had planned on getting out, but after unloading dirt bikes and starting laundry I didnt make it out. I jumped on the bike and rode for 15 min. while watching the Nuggest blow the Lakers awaying.

| Had a great Saturday. My goal was to move around for 30 min. I ran 1.5 miles with out any pain, then walked around the park for a cool down. My husband was playing sand volleyball so I peppered with him a bit too. It was a good work out day. |

| I actually got my back side out of bed this am for a little run. I did a good walking warm up and cool down with my 1.2 mile run in between. Time is such a mental thing for me, the whole time Im running Im stressed about time (thinking I still need to get a good stretch in, shower, iron my clothes for work bla bla bla). I need to learn to relax and enjoy the journey.

| I ran one extra block today so I'm counting the .35. I dont have any cool running gadgets, the only way I know how far I ran is by using the Course Tool on this site. I just lug my body along the streets until I get tired then turn around and come back.(I know, I dont have a lot of energy/endurance) I didnt have the stress this am about getting ready for work, because I took Kelli's advice and ironed my clothes LAST night , not only that I ironed enough for a week!!(Thanks Kelli!!!) I plan on adding one block every day. Knee is a little sore, I took my anti - inflam med when I got back and did a long stretch.

| Took the day off from work to celebrate my anniversary. After my bike ride hubby and I took 2 of the boys to the pool. Being in the water felt so good on my hamstring. Ahhh, the weightlessness of being in the water! Did a few laps and lots of treading water while watching the boys do their amazing feats off the diving board.
