I'm A Wogger

slow and easy on the flat section of the provo trail.  Hip bothers me when walking, Shins hurt when I run.  Hope to feel better by monday.

Sarah paced me and I obviously did a lot better than I thought I could. ran 10:05 for the first mile slowed down on the 2nd mile and picked it up for the 3rd.  the only down side is I have to set a much higher standered for the next race.  I have been suffering from a headache today so I have been drinking gatorade. Vile stuff.  my husband suggested I drink pickle juice, then I won't think sports drinks are so vile.  I deciced to pass on his suggestion.  Thanks a lot sarah for pacing me but not pushing me.  It was a good experience.

SLow, painful jog with the stroller.  Sasha and Sarah were saying I should change my name from wogger but I proved today that I am still worthy of that title.  Maybe someday in the future I can ran a 5 k with killing myself but that day is not yet here.

averaged about 14 min. miles brtween provo trail near reams and the mouth of the canyon.  Pretty flat terrain so I hope I didn't kill my back.  My shins were feeling better this morning so I decided to put them right back in the shape they were yesterday.  I must enjoy limping around the house.  Oh well as my husband says if your legs don't hurt you're not pushing very hard.  I just hope this will aventually be worth it.  I have stalled out on weight loss for the past 3 weeks.  I suppose that is what is behind my insane pushing it hard.

I was having one of those days.  You know, the why do I bother and do I really care if I work out days.  I forced myself to do a recovery walk on the trail.  I might have gone further on my stroll but I was not highly motivated and I really needed to go wee.  There are no bathrooms on that part of the trail and I am not the kind of girl who crawls through the brush to find a secluded spot. 

Started out from Rock Canyon school and went to Riverwoods along University avenue and back to the school.  Jogged most of the way.  Had to walk a little 3 times.  Averaged just under 13 minute miles.  Not too shabby for pushing a stroller.  The last mile is slightly up hill and I had to push myself to not let up the pace.

Jogged 6 miles on the trail without stopping.  Despite not having the stroller today the best I could do was about 13:10 average.  I guess I pushed it too hard yesterday and had no real speed left.  I was just glad that I didn't have to walk.  Armyrunner past me on the trail going well over twice as fast and well over twice as far.  Oh well if I think about haw well the rest of my family runs I'd never set foot on the trail again but I keep telling myself that I am doing this so I can feel better about myself and so I can hike timpanogos(I really need to learn how to spell that) next year without killing myself.

easy walk with a neighbor by the waterfall.  even took a break at vivian park to let our boys play at the playground.  It is beautiful up there with the leaves starting to change but it was also cold with the wind howling down the canyon.

Jogged the loop from the school.  Pushed it hard from the start  and averaged 12 min miles with the stroller.  I will be paying for this the rest of the week.

My legs weren't too sore today they just felt like they weighed 100 pounds each.  Forced myself to walk/jog over 5 miles near my house.  Jogged for about 2 miles at a slow creaky 15 min pace.  Oh well lead in the legs is better than shin splints and asore hip so no real complaints.

walked about a mile.  Jogged a little over 4 miles and wogged the last little bit along the flat part of the trail.  Not too hard not too easy.  Had to try to conserve some energy.  I am training with sarah tommorow.  hope I can keep up with her on a slow run. (slow for her that is)

5 miles with sarah in just under an hour.  It was nice to have someone to talk to for a change.  It was also nice not pushing the stroller.

decided to return a video to blockbuster by wogging ot down the hill.  the bad part was I had to come back up.  I did the last .7 miles up the steep part jogging in less than 11 minutes.  

started by the school.  Felt pretty tired.  Forced myself to do 8 miles because I haven't done so for a while.  Jogged over 7 miles of it but the best I could manage was 13 something a mile top speed.  Averaged just under 15 min miles.  

4 mile recovery wog on the trail.  Slow slow slow.

Decided to do a mile slow then a mile fast ect... see if I could do some race pace miles.

1st mile in 13:15

2nd mile in 9:41 which is a personal best

3rd mile in 12:42

4th mile in 9:55

5th mile in 11:18

6th mile in 9:52

I can't run sub 10 minute miles back to back  yet but not too bad.  Had to push hard to do these times might wait a while before I try this again. Rewarded myself with going out to lunch with Sarah.

After a terrible morning trying to get the kids to school when everything was going wrong I had zero desire to go for a walk but I went anyway.  That's all I did too, I walked through some neighborhoods I 've never seen before and checked them out.  I enjoy neighborhood walking every once in a while.

I'm catching up with my blogging so my husband will stop nagging me.  Came down with a terrible cold.  tried running to hopefully clear out some of this illness. felt a little better while running then started sneezing my head off as soon as I stopped.  Ran tempview during Jared's soccer practice.

Felt dead, looked dead did not want to die so skipped the run today.

Still have this beastly cold so I skipped going out in the cold and did the eliptical. boring and kind of hard on my calves.

Walked when Ted came home for lunch.  Did the temple foothills loop.  Ran a couple of 11:20 miles in the middle right before hitting that monster hill.  Walked up it without stopping which is quite a achievement.

On the provo river trail.  still congested and fighting a lack of energy.  It was just a go and do it day.

Another just go and do it day.  I can't wait to be over this stupid cold.
