Still sick and still needing running done.
I did a warmup spin for 20 minutes, 5.7 miles.
Then some treadmill running. 22:40 - 2 miles. My legs liked this run, but my throat and lungs were a bit painful when i tried to breathe deep.
But i got some exercise for 2 days now!

Was sick for the last couple days and did not run, but I know I need to keep up a schedule so i tried running this morning. Since I am sick and it was 25 degrees outside, i opted for the treadmlll.

I wanted to try for the whole 6 that was on my training plan for the Salt Lake City 1/2, but 1.5 miles into the run my son called to see if i could babysit my little 6 month granddaughter while he took his wife to the instacare for her illness - it ended up being a bad case of the flu.
I finished up to 3 miles then got off to go babysit. Not a great 3 anyway, gasping for breath, i added a couple walking breaks here and there.

just a spin today. 35 minutes - 9.2 miles. then 120 stability crunches and 18 knee pushups.
But tonite I feel fat. I need to make time at nite to do a spin or walk. Treadmill while it is so cold and windy outside would be good. I just need to add a second exercise session.

Did a mini brick today. Warm up was a short spin, 2 miles in 7:20 seconds.
Then went out in the morning. Pretty warm for February, 41 degrees. The sky was getting lighter at 6:30, and it was a great morning to run outside.
Had to call it short, 2.15 miles, and had to add walking breaks, 27 minutes total, due to a bad choice for dinner and GI issues.

Regular scheduled run of 45 minutes. Today 45:44 and 4 miles. Tried to pick up the pace a bit today, but i got out of breath and had to walk for 45 seconds during the last mile. but I still got the miles done.
Finished with a little core: 10 squats, 15 lunges, 10 pushups (knee) and 75 stability ball crunches.

This started out with the intent of being an easy 2 mile run, but things turned out differently when i some how got Lost!!!
Started out with an easy walk with my husband for 1/2 a mile then he returned to the hotel and i started off on my run. The air was chilly, so chilly that my legs were numb in my shorts and my hands got numb also.
I was slowly running along and realized that somehow i had turned off the road my hotel was on. I have been in this exact area and gone running a number of times, and it really is pretty hard to veer off the main road, but i managed!! So i kept running at a comfortable pace and at 1 1/2 miles i realized where i was and turned onto the main road again and walked 1/2 mile until i found a restroom. Then i ran the remainder back to the hotel. It actually really felt great to get this cold morning miles run in!
Total miles - 4 including the warmup 1/2.
Total time - 47 minutes, including the warm up time.
I think i run faster in this lower elevation.

Sand Hollow Reservoir 5 mile run!

The weather was beautiful, 38 and clear, crisp and sunny. The water was dark blue, the rocks surrounding the small reservoir were deep red. Beautiful.
For this race there are two distances you can run, 10 miles or 5 miles. Both distances start at the same time in the same place and all runners head out across the damn and turn onto the road that circles the reservoir. There are 2 turnaround locations, one at 2 1/2 miles and one at 5 miles. It's an out back course so you cross the damn twice.

Very fun race, organized by local runners in Hurricane, Utah. A couple hundred people from  all over Utah come down to St George to run this race. I plan on doing it again next year.
My goal was to finish and not be last, hopefully in under an hour,  and not get passed by too many people doing the 10 mile race.
Well my time was 57:41 - Yeah!! I was 3rd out of 5 in my age group - Yeah!! And the first person to cross the finish line out of the 10 mile racers, finished 30 seconds behind me - Yeah!!!!
So it was a great finish for me, and my second race is done for the Runner's Series for the Marathon.
That was all i needed, so my spot should be officially reserved - Yeah!! and Yikes!!!
