run anji run

took RJ and zowie out for a run in jogging stroller. felt good till half way, then knee bugging again. Im ok as long as i go really SLOW, but as soon as I increase my pace my knee kills. I guess its still a sign that I need to take it easy. But at least I can run now!

i was going to wake up early and go to spin at the gym, but i slept in.. I was so  glad it was such a nice day outside. I took RJ in the running stroller and Zowie (the dog) out for a little jog.  I am still trying rest my knee like im suppose to....but i just miss running so much!! I took it slow 10+ min miles, but had a nice time getting out in the fresh air. Odd enough, this is the 1st day I have ran since my injury and absolutley NO pain or discomfort in my knee. Im sure it was because half the time I was walking.....but it still felt nice!

ran/walk 5.5 miles with christen today. i love it when i can run in the middle of the day and have it not be hot outside....its so nice to sleeep in! Knee felt o.k

went to spin today. It was raining out and I think my knee needed a little rest. I went at 9am (usually i have been going at 6am and there are like 5 people in the spin class) and I barely got a bike! yikes.. I guess if I go to the gym when its busy I better get there earlier!!! way good workout and it so much fun to "pretend" Im going up snowcanyon or something!!! I love it

ran outside today with my little one in the jogging stroller and my dog.  Did the loop by my house. Was getting pretty nippy out, not sure how much longer Ill be able to run with RJ outside?? It made me wish I were running with my friends again (miss you cheri), because I would wake up early and run and be back before ryan went to work, but I don't really want to run outside by myself that early!!...so anyway, that is my sob story :) On a positive note, my knee felt fantastic the whole time...(i don't want to jinx myselft though)

 As soon as I got done running, I had to get ready for my friend's (BFF to be exact) baby shower that I was throwing for her. She moved up North but most of our/her friends wanted to see her so she came down here so we could celebrate.  It was so fun, I got to hang out with her and a few of my other friends. (We use to all be running buddies together, but many of them moved away etc) and it was good to reminisce about the "good " old days!!!  Can't wait to get back to running with my new running buds!......miss u guys!

meet cheri early this morning @ 5 am. Man it was cold out...I had to search down deep in my dresser to find my winter running clothes. (lately I have been running in the middle of the day with RJ and I still have been wearing shorts and tanks).  But getting up early in the cold was soooo worth it. Ive missed running with cheri and my other friends. We just did a nice easy pace and talked and "caught up" on the last couple months.  Knee felt great while running, but was killing me when I got home. Now it feels better though while Im blogging....so I guess time will only tell!!

no workout today....I was throwing up all last night (poss 24 hr bug??) on the flip side I did loose 4 lbs!!!yeah......which im sure ill gain back as soon as i start eating!

I slept in today! I love that, but I could only go for 2.5 mile run in real quick before I had to be home to get ready for my niece's wedding today. She was so beautiful & it was so good to seeall my family.  My cousin just started running recently and wants to put together an all "family" team for that 50 mile st george relay coming up in dec 5th. He asked if I would be on his team, I think I will do it even though my knee hasn't been feeling too hot and I miss running with others etc etc. (and I was going to do the Vegas Marathon that weekend...so now I wont feel to sad about not doing it now that I can do this relay) I will only have to do two 5 mile legs....which Im sure my knee will handle.  Im excited!!

ran 5 with cheri this morning. felt good to run with her again. knee feeling a little better, but still don't want to push it

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

we went up north to my home town (Brigham City, UT) to have Thanksgiving with my family.  I love it up here! I ran the Peach Days 10k course with my husband.  It was so much fun and I forget how beautiful it is up here. I loved running through all the leaves on the side walk and by the beautiful river and down main street.  I got totally Nostalgic while running.  This is the place where I fell in love with running.  It is a lot different running up here than in St George.  They don't have running trails and there is tons of trees, oh ya and its way colder!.  I love the running trails down south and wouldn't trade them for anything....thats why I love St george so much, but it was also fun to just run around town up here seeing all my friends houses etc.  Anyway, it was a good run and we cut off the peach days course a bit to run through the cemetery.  K i know that sounds cryptic, but the cemetery here is so beautiful and in high school for cross country that is where we did all our speed workouts  (again kinda weird!)  but I loved it.....I decided that I'm going to come home next summer and run the peach days 10k.....I haven't done it since high school.. Anyway, I hope everyone had a great Holiday!!!

no running today, went to spin class at night! saw alot of my friends there!
