  1. RUN
    good 4.44 mi 00:50 11:17 pace

    Running again after almost two months off! Felt great to be out again, although this heat will take some getting used to.

      Yes! Some of my friends see me running marathons and they tell me things like "You know, I think I'll try running. I need to lose a few pounds." And I have to tell them that I haven't lost any weight. I've lost a lot of fat, and gained muscle, but the pounds are the same. BUT the big bonus is- I eat like a horse! Especially after running though my neighborhood and smelling the breakfast cooking (bacon!) or, if I'm running in the evening, the charcoal and steak, or salmon, or catfish!

      Lol Gina! Can you believe it? The SLC marathon is the only one I've run where you can almost register the day before the race- it never sells out. And its the one asking you to sign up again less than a week after the race...hilarious.

      You might want to think of this weather like a long run, if you think it's almost over, you start wearing down. Try thinking you have 4 more months of winter left, then you might be pleasantly surprised.

      I totally hear you on being sore!! My quads aren't very happy with me today. Good job! Those longs are tough! You'll still probably kick my trash in the marathon though :-) Are you going to be tapering down now or do you have any more seriously long runs left before SLC?

      This week will be a nice recovery week with a long run of 12 miles. Next week is one last high mile week (another 20 miles long run) and then I taper down until the race. I feel pretty good, though I'm pretty sure I won't be able to keep up with your pace on race day
