Short-Term Running Goals:
I've decided that the reason Africans win marathons is because their
training program consists of the threat of being eaten by lions and
trampled by Elephants. I'd run like @%#$ too if a hungry lion were
chasing me!Long-Term Running Goals: Run Susan G Komen 3 day, 60 mile race for the cure
Qualify for & Run in Boston Marathon
Personal: In October '09 I weighed 248 lbs, and slept 16 hours a day. I was miserable. I decided to change that. So far I've lost nearly 80 lbs, and started running. It's been my dream, ever since I was a fat little kid, to run in the Boston Marathon... because I was born there. Now I'm on a journey to the road home.
Married since 2001, had beautiful baby girl in July 08.

ran at the gym's outdoor track. 1/2 mi walking warm up, 1/2 mi straight run, then 1.5 mi intervals, and 1/2 mi walking cool down. My running pace has slowed dramatically. Took me an hour to cover the3 miles. Feeling kind of pathetic. Have been struggling with depression. Went for diabetes check up last Thurs and had my thyroid dose changed.

| Went to a Galloway running group with my friend in SLC. It was really nice. I was the slowest in the group, but the trainer hung back with me so I wasn't alone and that meant the world to me. I wish I could go with them regularly, but it's $160/yr. Anyone want to start a Utah County Galloway group? |

| Ran a 6 min 1/2 mi. I don't think I've ever done it that fast before. Walked the rest cuz I wanted to die a little. |

| Got out with my new Galloway gang and ran around Oquirrh Lake at Daybreak. It was super nice and I was disgruntled I didn't wear a short sleeve racing tee. Was a little uncomfortable in my long sleeve. after our run, we stopped by San Gelato Cafe for breakfast, and 2 of the more seasoned marathoners expressed concern over me running/training a marathon in my vibrams. Now I'm all paranoid. I wear vibrams exclusively and I'll have been racing in them for a year by the time the marathon hits in September (and barefootin' it for a year & a half since I started walking skin on pavement May of 2011). Anyone have more insight into why they were so worried?

| Went out with my Galloway girls this morning to run around the capitol. 7 miles of hilly semi-Hell. I thought my Achilles was angry at me post-run, but after reading an article, I think it might be my flexor digitorum longus which is right around the Achilles. I know the space between my Achilles & Calves would like an epidural :P
I've been walking it out and stretching and it's helping. If it was tendonitis, it would be getting worse. So I think that's a relief. Last week my vibrams were really rubbing my feet wrong and I picked up some blister block & Lady Anti Monkey Butt. I put the talc (LAMB) inside my V's and rubbed it around good, then slathered on the blister block. Worked like a dream. It was cool today, though, so the real test will be when it's hot and my feet get really sweaty. Went to breakfast afterwards at Whole Foods. I love epic meal time! Went to town on arroz con leche, berries, coconut, creme brulee french
toast, scrambled eggs, milk, greek yogurt... I'm set till dinner!

| Conned one of my friends from church to go on a slow walk/jog with me. My calves are still kinda grumpy about their 7 mile hilly workout on Saturday, and I REALLY needed to get out and stretch them. Walked 1.5 mi, then got her to do 30/1 intervals with me. It seemed to suit her. |
