Cheris

10 miles with Peggy, Cheryl, Kelli and her husband, and Nancy for a minute. Today was crazy--it was totally pitch black, and when a car approached us on 1300 W. we were forced to the shoulder. There was a definite uneven patch of concrete, and Kelli ended up falling and twisting her ankle. After she got up and was able to run again, Cheryl fell! And after just getting over the shock of Michelle falling at Hobble Creek and almost tripping over her, I thought it was so weird! It just makes you so worried to see someone lying on the ground, even if it's just for a second!

My shins are a little sore today, hoping they fell better tomorrow!

Met the running group, and did a warm-up of about 2.5 miles. Then those of us who wanted to work out on the track split off to do some speed work. We did Yasso 800's, which was so awesome! Michelle and I did six of them about 2.5 weeks ago, and we averaged right around 3:30, some a little faster.

Today I did seven of them, and they were:

3:32

3:26

3:21

3"20

3:22

3:28

3:22 (this one I did by myself, and I was worried that it would be slower without Julie there to keep me going, so I was very happy to end strong!)

Then I did a fast 400 (400 recovery), 2 laps of fast 200's, then 2 laps of speed changes. Then cooled down, went home, and ran a mile with Drew. I even pushed Reagan (all 36 pounds of him) in the baby jogger because he wanted to go, too. I have forgotten how hard it is to run with a baby jogger, and I am going to sell it on KSL.com today!

Very, very slow miles--my pez anserine tendon is bugging me again, this time on the left leg. But after I ran it actually felt a little better.

We ran a few warm-up miles, then headed up 9800 S. (in cars) to run down it, for a downhill run. Michelle and I were definitely in the rear--by a long ways! But it felt great!

Very slow again today! My tendons behind my knees worry me, and yesterday my shin was killing me. My husband gave them a good massage last night, and when I woke up they felt great. However, after I ran the tendons were bugging me again. Hopefully they will work there way out!

20 miles of our Dean & Deer route. 9:02 average, and my legs really felt OK! I was totally worried, and brought my cell phone in case I needed to contact a ride home. It was Michelle, Dean and Chris and their daughter, and Peggy, Angela and Jody. Way fun!

I feel like a bad mom, though, because I totally missed Drew do his swim in the triathlon this morning. Luckily, I got there right as he took off on his bike. And he has gotten fast (not so much in the swim, probably because I FORGOT to pack his goggles)! His mile run was about 7 minutes! Dean was awesome, and actually rode with him for the 5-mile bike portion, and Drew said it helped a lot--Dean told him when to change gears, etc. I thought that was so cool!
