Friday Report
This is my 4th run. I am feeling good. :-) We ran 2.29 miles averaging 12:16 and a heart rate of 144. This includes an embarrassing fall followed by a walk. I hope my pace gets quicker but for now I am enjoying being back out there. I figure this is a great time for low heart rate training. Tomorrow my goal is 4-5 miles.

Starting Over
Well, it is pretty obvious that I didn't qualify for Boston on May 30th. Here is my quick report:
I decided to just go for it! I started out right around 8:25 miles and was able to maintain that for about 13 miles. At that time, my stomach started turning and I knew it wasn't going to be my race. I slowed down and about mile 15, my knee kind of buckled on me and I had to walk. I almost called Jeff but decided to see if it got any better. I walked/ran the rest of the race. I finished in 4:15. Not my worst time, but definitely not my BQ.
A month later I ran the Wasatch Back with some of these wonderful ladies and it was amazing except for the running part. :-) The elevation was rough and my stomach still wasn't better. I decided that was it for racing until my stomach felt better. Well, it wasn't until November that I was finally cleared of the stomach bacteria H. Pylori. Then in December I was hit hard with H1N1. I didn't run for 5 weeks!!! Then when I did come back, my cardio was shot. So, here I am! I am still optimistic that I can run the St. George Marathon in October and qualify for Boston. I thought it would be good to keep track of my runs since I am starting from the beginning. :-)
1st run- 1 mile on the treadmill- 12:00 minute mile. I felt pretty winded. It was very discouraging.
2nd run- 2 1/2 miles on the treadmill averaging just under 12 min miles. I didn't feel great, but I was happy I could do it.
January 23rd- First outside run- very nervous! I ran with Nicole. It was an awesome run!! We ran 3.39 miles in 40:15. That is an 11:52 mile. Ave- 147 Max-170 Lap 1- 11:23- hr-135 Lap 2-11:51, hr-149. Lap 3-12:13, hr-154. Lap 4- 12:11, hr-159
January 25th-2 miles, 24:15 Mile 1-11:46, hr-137, Mile 2- 12:32, hr-148
January 27th- ran outside in the light, by myself while Ranell watched my kids, woo hoo! 2.12 in 25:13- Mile 1- 12:04, 155, Mile 2-11:40, hr- 157
January 28th- outside with Sarah- 3.27 in 41:33- ave- 12:42 (some walking in there), mile 1- 11:34-hr-141, mile 2-11:50, hr-156, walk/run after that. Great run!
So, here we are! I am really working on my heart rate and trying to stay in the 150's. We will see how this goes!
