Morning This morning the team did a 2 mile warm up and then the firemen for 2 miles.  Running the two mile loop is sort of scary for me because there are all these branches and roots that I'm frightened I'm going to run in to or trip over.  Ha, anyways, after, we did strides for the photographer and a cool down.

I'm feeling prettttty good.

I'm leaving town for Estes Park tomorrow morning and hopefully their trails have the distance marked so that I'll still be able to blog my miles.  I tend to underestimate how much milage I do if I have to decide myself. Another worry is the altitude, however, I think I'll be ok. We're better off here than people at sea level.

Night 2 mile warm up, 3 miles of speed change, 1 mile cool down. I felt totally exhausted after the first 800 and the backs of my knees and calves felt tight and sore(ish).

3 sets of 25 crunches.

I biked 2 miles to the park and biked home for a total of 4 miles. The ride home was tough.

Morris, Minnesota! 5K race. My time was 24.04, 5th over all women's, 4th in age division. Good race. That evening, came down with a nasty cold. I had been sleep deprived in CO, so I got sick. Blah.

I am so sore today. I took some ibuprofen and ran a little. The right side of my left ankle is feeling weird.

I ran a mile to the track, ran a mile at the track, and ran back.

The right side of my ankle on my left leg is bugging me.

The team ran from Sugar House to the University store (6 mi). At the beginning, the right side of my left ankle was hurting and then the right side of my right thigh. These pains makes me nervous because I don't want to get injured like last year.

3 sets of 25 crunches and 3 sets of 15 girl pushups.

The team ran from the JCC up the mountains. It was 3 miles up but geez, it felt like more. The mountains were gorgeous this morning and I was thinking of what a great place to run. Other runners from different areas can't experience trail running that's within 5 minutes from their home. We're lucky to be able to run with a dry climate, beautiful scenery, and cool canyon breezes. 

I was grateful I wasn't hurting, however, on the 4th mile I fell. I just got scraped up and it didn't cause anything more than a little blood (thank goodness). Last night I iced my ankle and thigh in the places they had been hurting the day before and it paid off. Now today I will do the same eventhough they weren't bothering me. I just don't want to get injured this year!!
