PR 3:14:17 St. George 2007 Long-Term Running Goals: Sub 3 hour marathon. Personal: Married. Stay at home mom. My husband and I have 2 daughters and 4 sons. And I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
With a seemingly impossible long-term goal of running a sub 3 hour marathon, the following scriptures give me hope:
In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4
But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Romans 8:25
Submit cheerfully and with patience to all the will of the Lord. Mosiah 24:15
And Ezra teaches that discipline and patience are born of disappointment. Favorite Blogs: |

Happy New Year's Eve!! I'm so glad that Amber was able to meet up with me this morning. I thought that there was a good chance I'd be running solo. We did a loop in S.F. and though the roads were pretty bad at times, conversation helped the miles go quickly. We saw Ali when we were headed toward Amber's. She was running home from the gym and joined us for a bit, but all of us were close to the end of our workout so she turned back onto Canyon to head for home. I was pleasantly surprised that the temp this morning wasn't worse. The next two days are suppose to be pretty cold and the thought of running in it makes me cringe. One cold winter month down! A good two more to go :(

I am (eight weeks) pregnant! I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. Due date is August 14. Perhaps that will change at my first appointment, at the end of January, when I have my first ultra-sound and they measure everything. Although I was pretty sure that I was pregnant a couple weeks ago, I didn't take a pregnancy test until Christmas Eve. Phillip found out Christmas day. We are pretty excited. |

Met up with Ali, Amber, Josse and Michelle this morning at 11am. It was fun to run as a little pack of all sista's. Had to run up and down Canyon in order to gather everyone; my fault completely. Didn't give a great meeting point. Sorry ladies.
Did a loop that dipped us down into the river bottoms. Had a dog scare us; so glad Ali was prepared with a bit of pepper spray (although she didn't end up using it). I am so skiddish since my dog bite last winter. Michelle had an interesting experience with a car being a bit too interested in her pit stop. My breakfast was not sitting well, especially the last few miles. Yuck, I hate gut issues. But overall, a good run.
Forgot to restart my watch at one point, so I'm guessing on my time. I ran from my house and then back home for this mornings run, so 9 miles ought to be close.

An easy 8 miles, here in S.F. with Amber this morning. Felt much better today, no gut issues. I'm tired of the cold, not much I can do about it though. Glad I have buddies that help me get through it, by running with me.

On an interesting note, I have checked my resting heart rate periodically over the last few days...most often while reading a good book and relaxing. I counted beats during a full minute (instead of part of a minute and then multiplying to get my heart rate). I was curious what an accurate resting heart rate would be for me, now that I'm pregnant. More often than not, the number I got was 49 beats per minute. The lowest, only once, was 47 BPM. During the day, while moving about, it's typically around 69 BPM. I wish I had checked it during the summer when I was in my best shape. Wonder if it has changed. Is your resting heart rate any slower when you're sleeping than when you're awake but relaxing? Just some things to chew on. |

Ran around S.F. today by myself. Rocked out to Carrie Underwood, Elton John, and Guns & Roses. Pace was a bit quicker than I've been in the past few days. The temp outside was a blistering 40'F as well. The whole thing felt great! I love runs like today!

After my run yesterday, my family and I headed up to the Heber area for a bit of a "get away." Went up to Soldiers Hollow for a couple hours of sledding/snow tubbing...had a blast. Stayed the night in a hotel, where we spent hours upon hours swimming and soaking.
I'm a bit sorry that I didn't end up bringing clothing to run outside in. The weather is beautiful! Long-story short, ended up doing an easy 8 miles on a treadmill in the hotel.
Time 1:07 (I think. Didn't mean to, but the weight of my towel would push the stop button and interupt my run. Took a while to figure that out. The stop button was in a lame spot. Drrrr.) |

Ran with Ali in Springville today. The wind and rain were pretty awful at times, but I'm so glad that I had Ali with me to help pass the time. Good thing we got out the door when we did. The wind and rain in S.F. were horrid when Ali dropped me off. Had a dog scare us half to death. I swear that dogs sniff me out. My poor running buddies are faced with mean dogs on a regular basis, because of me...I'm convinced. I'm certain that we ran at least 12 miles, even though the wind and rain kept us from moving too quickly.
A heavy feeling has been accompanying my runs more and more lately. It's common to have slow or off days, even when I'm not pregnant. However, they occur more frequently now. I'm glad that I have good friends that run with me anyway. Hopefully my body will be willing to hold a decent pace throughout the winter.
Time 1:40 (And so glad to be done!) |
