Ran SG marathon Course with Cheri and Pegg. This is the furthest I have ran in a long long long time! We had to stop a few times for bathroom breaks etc.  It was a good run!

Avg pace: 7:49

 

After I got home, did a 12 mile bike ride with Ryan and the kids in the bike trailer. We had to turn around earlier than expected because the kids were crying....I wasn't to sad cuz I was tired from our morning run!

HAPPY FORTH OF JULY WEEKEND TO EVERYONE!

was going to meet Courtney to run the canyon today.....but I slept in. Oops. I am still a little sore from saturdays run anyway, which I didn't realize until I did my 3 miler with my good friend Emilee visiting from up north. We had a good talk while run/walking.

Happy 4th!

Did track workout with Court, Breanna, Cathy, Ben & Autum. Did 1.5 mile warmup. 4X100s sprint/glides. 2X200s, Then Did 7X400s. (we were suppose to do 8....but I was having major bathroom issues today)......NOTE TO SELF.......Don't do speed workout after a major Holiday and Eating Fest! 800m cooldown (walking)

200s: 40 and 41 sec

400s:  1:26 (too fast!), 1:36, 1:33, 1;42 (started to feel sick on the last turn on this 400....had to go to bathroom!), 1:34, XXX (major potty probs!),  1:36

I was kinda bummed that I felt like crap today....(pun intended!).....but was still happy. My goal was to keep the 400s somewhere around 1:35 (even though secretly I wanted to do a little faster), so I guess mission accomplished for today anyway!

 

Will go to Crossfit tonight........hopefully....after stomach settles!

met court and ran snow canyon. Did 4 miles up and back. I felt like I had more energy with this Snow Canyon run! I tried to take it easy on the downhill to preserve my knees. Did a little walking/bathroom breaks (Probably did 7.5 miles of actual running)

run up Avg: 9:27

run down Avg: 8:37

Total Avg pace: 8:58ish (of run time)

 

After, swam 1.8 miles at the lake (Snow Canyon) with Ryan. I was super stoked that I could actually swim that far! YEAH!

Prob with go to Cross fit tonight.....we shall see!

ran 10 mile loop in Ivins with Courtney and Cheri. It was a good pace, but not to hard. We had lots of good talks.

Avg pace: 8:45

 

 Then, rode 15 miles on bike with Ryan and kids in bike trailer. We went kinda in downtown area (because we rode to Ryan's mom's house.......not my favorite ride....I don't like riding in traffic)

Today Ryan and I got a babysitter for most of the day (we were going to hike the subway in Zion....but we didn't end up doing the hike)...so.....we decided to have a fun day of exercising! 

We started off day by swimming 1.2 miles at Sand Hollow Res. (I still zig zag all over when I am swimming....so thinking I may have swam further than 1.2)

Then we drove to the top of the Huge Hurricane Hill (because I hate riding my bike up....as well as down that scary hill). We parked our car then biked into Zion NP. We biked all the way to the end....took lots of pictures.....then biked back into Springdale and got some lunch....yum.....!  We then biked back to our car....I liked the ride back to our car much much more! It was more down hill!

We ended up biking 55 miles!

K, I am kinda thinking about doing the Utah Half Ironman in Provo in August with Ryan.....I haven't signed up, but feel like I COULD finish it at this point (Which is my main goal).....I almost signed up a few minutes ago....but chickened out again.....but strongly thinking about it at this point. AAAAAHHHHHH I hate deciding!

met with Heidi and Court and did 6 mile santa clara loop. I can tell I haven't ran in 1+ week (Went to Yellowstone last week, I packed my running clothes/shoes....didn't put them on once!!!!!! I enjoyed last weeks R and R, but majorly regretting it on our morning run!)

Ran with Heidi and Court the first 4 miles at 7:30 to 7:40 pace, the last 2 miles ran by myself at 8:30 to 9:00 pace.....I feel so out of shape, but just motivation to get better!

Right after I was going to go swimming with Peggy, but she slept in, so I ended up going to crossfit

Crossfit

Chelsea  (30 min)

5 pull ups

10 push ups

15 airsquats

(I did around 29 of these, but I lost count......I actually liked this workout!)

 

Came home and Breanna brought over a bike saddle for me to borrow, that has a split seat. I am excited to try it.....hope it will help my bike rides be more comfy.....might go on a ride later today....after a nap!

Avg pace: going up 9:45

Total Avg pace: 8:46

ran 8 miles with Cheri. Did summit loop. my watch died this morning, so I grabbed ryan's watch. I couldn't figure out how to use it. It didn't record anything, but every time I looked at the pace it said around 7:45-8:10 min miles......so Ill just call it  8:00ish avg pace.

Tonight planning on going to the Tri club swim/bike workout at the lake.....why does this make me so nervous?

 PM

K, so the swim/bike workout wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Everyone was extremely nice. Swam 1 mile. (even though I feel like I swam  way more, because I am all over the place in that lake, I seriously need to work on swimming straight)

Biked 15 miles. Had to stop several times to adjust my seat and oh ya, something is wrong with my clips. I couldn't get my Left foot clipped in. I had to take my shoe off, clip it on, then put my foot in! AWESOME!

I think I am nuts...I just signed up for the UTAH HALF DISTANCE IRONMAN next month....I have never done a triathlon, but guess I better start somewhere!

Ready for bed!

Woowza! Im tired.

Today ran 13 down SG marathon course with Pegg and Cheri. I was suppose to do 15, but I slept in, so I had to come find them on the course and it was so hard, because I think I saw over 100 people running, but I finally found them. Had a good pace. I pushed myself....but I felt that I had plenty left in the tank (for the rest of my day!)

Avg pace: 7:36

 

After, went home picked up Ryan and cousin Randy and headed out to Sand Hallow.

Swam 1 mile along the Dam then did a 15 mile bike ride after.

Came home and kids were ready for a nap! Yeah! So I joined in!
