Hello......Remember me??? Im back on the Grid.....Hopefully!  Last November/December I hurt my back so bad that I couldn't WALK for a week, then after about 3 months of rehab/chiropractor/steroid injections.... Im hopefully better!   The Doc says I did TOO much after having a BABY!  I know they always tell you to take it easy after having a baby, but stuff like that never applies to me.....RIGHT!!!! ( anyway, the scoop was that my stomach muscles were sooo stretched out, that my core wasn't supporting my back--guess thats what i get for having giant babies back to back!)....hee hee hee....love my little guys!

 I have just been running about 2 miles a day for the last few weeks, today I made the BIG jump to 3 miles! Later went for a 10 mile bike ride  with my hubby........It feels soooo good to do something and not just lay around the house!  Im still taking it slow, I feel like I could do more, but this time I am listening to the dr and "gradually" increasing my activity!  

I have been keeping up on all your blogs, but have been a little jealous I guess to post anything! hee hee hee

Tomorrow I am running with my Good friend Joelle and very excited to run outside!!!!! yeah!

ran with 2 new friends today Cathy eightkidmom and Katie! Did the Bloomington loop by our house. Came home and did weights and yoga before work

 

Also, Ironman did a special feature on my husband for doing the IronMan and loosing weight. He lost over 100 lbs and has totally changed his life. He inspires me and makes me want to "think" about doing an Ironman someday. Check out the link  IRONMAN.COM

ran 10 miles down the marathon coarse with Cheri, Cathy and Katie. I slept in and had to drive up to find them on the coarse. Good news is that i was planning on dropping my car off and then only doing eight, but since I slept in I ended up doing 10! Yeah! Although to be fair....I did walk alot! But Im still counting it as 10 miles!  Its the most I have ran since I got preggers! Other good news was, It worked out that I didn't have to end up running the full 16 miles that everyone else did :)

After I got home My husband and I went on a 20 mile bike ride. It was a easy recovery ride for him, but a hard grueling ride for me!

Ran 10 with Courtney and Peggy. Also met with new running friend Haley....These girls kicked my butt! I had a very hard time the last few miles! But I finished! yeah! This was the furthest I have ran since the baby. Last week I did just under 10 miles.....however, I walked a few of those miles, so I am counting this run as my longest! Avg pace 9:05....I am looking forward to the day that 9min/miles feel easy again! 

 After went on a 20 mile bike ride out to Kayanta with my husband, Tiffany and Jennifer. It was lots of fun. We just took it easy. We also stopped at Xtavia Gardens in Kayanta and ate! Yum!

30 min of yoga in the pm

I was so sore from Xfit yesterday, that I skipped my morning run with Cheri and Courtney. Later I wish I had run....oh well.

This evening I went out to the lake (Sand Hallow) and swan 1 miles with Jennifer and my husband. I have never done an open water swim like this before, but thought I would try it.  I probably panicked like 15 times the first half mile, then the last half mile felt a little better....sometimes its just so creepy swimming in the middle of the lake. I think Im going to try to do this more often.

I was suppose to go into work early. My work called and asked if I could be the closing nurse instead and come in at 2pm. My bed felt so comfy....the answer was easy! So around 930am after the kids woke up and ate, I put them in the running stroller and ran/walked. That thing is dang heavy and hard to push, I don't even bother bringing my watch!  Very nice outside; tons of people at the park, playing in river, and golfing! Summer is here!

came home and did 20 min yoga workout. Felt good to get all stretched out from Xfit yesterday!

@Cathy- I am going to Xfit, but not where you and Cheri go. I go to the new Xfit in town (Zion Crossfit). They had a special for 30$ for first month, then 45$ for second month. After my 2 months there and I like it, I might join you....I just wanted to see if I liked it before I forked out a fortune!.......BTW...is Cheri training for a Tri? That would be awesome!

@Burt- Guess the Cat is out of the Bag!

Anji!! I found you :) Thanks for the swim this morning!! Actually, I am really sad that you "stayed behind me" because you had to see my jiggly bum in the pool...so, next time I am staying behind you :)

I wanted to see if I could do an olympic length tri today. My husband and I went and did it today. I had so much fun.  Our transition times however were like 30 min long!  But it was fun, and hot. We finished around 130pm.

 

Swam 1 mile

Bike 20 miles

Ran 6 miles (pace 850)

 

 

P.S. Best moment of the day was when we met Heather and Trevor Wurtele (Pro's that currently reside in SG. Heather won SGIM the last 2 yrs).......So Cool, but the best part was right after we got done talking with them I got on my bike, rode for 30 seconds then tipped over and fell over cuz my darn foot couldn't get out of my clips!.......so embarrassingly awesome!........can't stop laughing now that Ive been thinking about it!

Woke up early and did interval Workout with Cheri.  I was just not feelin it today. We ran hard as we could for 7 minutes x4.  I had zero energy.  I have been doing strict Paleo diet for the last few weeks and I think I can totally tell today, I need more energy. I am going to start eating the Paleo for endurance athletes now that I am running more etc (incorporating more carbs). I hope this helps me have more energy....it's not good when you want to fall asleep during the workout!

Came home and ate carbs.....I could literally feel the sugar entering my brain.....much needed fuel! Met Ryan for lunch today. Had a taco salad! Yum....more much needed fuel!

Went to Xfit this evening. Killer Workout "the Murph"

ran 1 mile, 50 pullups(scaled), 100 pushups (scaled), 200 squats (scaled), ran 1 mile

first mile pace 7:12, second mile pace 8:02

I had so much more energy at crossfit, than this morning!

met court this morning for a run. Along the run met up with Heidi ( i have missed running with her) and officially met Amber from the blog. They are all such cute skinny things.....makes me want to keep exercising......ahhhhh.....one day!   After swam laps at pool. I was pretty nervous to do this, but it was fun. Swimming was nice, It was nice to give my legs a little rest.....my quads still feel trashed from monday's Xfit. I think I will skip Xfit again tonight, and let my body heal!

met with cheri and courtney this morning. Started at dixie center and ran to bloomington and around bloomington loop then back (part of old painter's half marathon course). It was a good run....my quads are still so sore. I am ok as long as I am walking/running on flat ground....but walking down stairs kills.  Going to skip Xfit again......seriously does the soreness from Xfit ever go away? I have felt like I have been ran over by a bus the last 3 weeks........hoping it gets better, but I do like the results so far!

HEAVEN!  I slept in till about 1030am, then went on a run at 11ish. I ran the first 6 miles (9 min pace) then walked ran the last 2. I was just enjoying my day, stopped at park for a bit, ran past my old High school, ran past the new Temple being built (Brigham City). I needed this day! Yeah!

Sorry for the late reply! I have been out of phone/internet for the last week...I was if Mexico!!!!

Burt- Totally seen the movie "Brigham City" and loved it....it was my favorite "mormon movie" of all time...and no I am not being sarcastic....I love any murder mystery! P.S. the movie wasn't actually filmed there....I do come from a small town, but it has more than 100 people in it!!!!

Amber- I would love to run together again....it WAS fun! However, rumor has it that you are a speed demon....so if you want a little easier pace, I would love it!!!

my husband and I went to Cabo Mexico for  this  week. We ran outside. It was kinda crazy trying to find a run that didn't seem to dangerous. I was glad that I had my 6'3" husband as my running buddy/bodyguard. We found a great course that we ran in a jungle/state park for a few of the miles. Very humid and hot!

After, I had brought my DVD workout Jillian Michaels no more trouble zones.  My husband helped me steal (temporarily) the 5 lb weights from our resorts gym and brought them back to our room to do the workout.....I made my husband return them and apparently he got in trouble! ha ha ha....we are such rebels! Guess I wont be doing this again!

From ben on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 18:20:42 from 209.33.248.15

Oh just asking... the xfit endurance is online. We use the local gym equipment while following the online WOD. Check it out.

From anji on Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 21:10:19 from 74.211.95.73

oh really. i will have to check it out. I thought that you guys were going to Dixie Crossfit, I have been going to crossfit at the edge training ctr by costco cuz its only 30$ a month compared to 100$ a month. But if you guys just go to the gym and do the workouts....I should try that. Where do you guys go at.....the Rec Ctr? Also, is that where you get your track workouts from...online? I guess I should check out the website...thnks

From ben on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 11:05:13 from 209.33.248.15

From anji on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 11:44:32 from 74.211.95.73

oh okay, that makes sense. So can you tell me the difference between the WOD and crossfit endurance WOD?

From ben on Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 11:57:13 from 209.33.248.15

It's the same thing, but the endurance wods are suppose to be centered around our other workouts for triathlons, running, etc.

Met Heidi, Pegg, and Cheri to run up Snow Canyon this morning. This killed me. I haven't run this run for like 2+ yrs.....but I'm glad its over with! I really need to do more hill work I decided. Usually I start this run just at the base of Snow Canyon, but we started about a mile before the base of Snow Canyon.....and I could totally feel it at the end. I think I like just doing this run as an 8 miler instead!

Locked my keys in the car! I am so spacey in the mornings (well ESPECIALLY in the mornings!). Heidi drove me home and they Ryan said he would run out there and then drive my car back.....what a nice husband!

Thinking of going and swimming/biking with the Tri club tonight....but super duper scared too! But we will see if we can find a sitter....and if I can get over my fear of open water!

 

Wind was so bad that ryan and I didn't go to tri club workout. Decided to go to Xfit instead. Which made me want to puke!

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!

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!

Enjoy your nap. I packed my running clothes when I went camping last week, but didn't run at all.

From anji on Mon, Jul 25, 2011 at 13:17:48 from 74.211.95.73

i know there is something about camping + mosquitos + NO shower.... That lethal combination does not equal running for me!

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.

K...this is really really gross! But it explains why I can't run for 1 week. I had a blister on my toe (no big deal right????) Well after it popped on my saturday run and then I went to Sand Hallow that day. FYI: Sand Hallow isn't the cleanest lake. I actually to the "Swimmer  Itch" there a few weeks ago. But even worse, I got some sort of bacteria in my blister. I woke up  Sunday morning and my toe was huge, swollen, tender. Monday morning I went to the podiatrist and he said he had to remove my toenail because he thought the infection spread to the root of the nail. Well it didn't spread (whew!), and he said I caught it early enough that it didn't get to bad. Anyway, He said no running for a week and I am on 2 diff antibiotics.....so crazy!

I am kinda depressed this week because I can't run or swim....I am hoping to bike this weekend. I did go to crossfit today and that was fun.....but i just love to run so much more!

ran 19 with Cheri and Court. Cheri's foot started to hurt around mile 3, so she ran back to the car. I wasn't to sure how far I was gonna run, because of my IT band. I made court run on the other side of the road so the slant wouldn't bug my knee. What a good friend! I brought my phone just incase I needed to bail, but I felt great pretty much the whole run. My knee started to barely bother me just before the finish....so I was happy!

Ran a good pace, but was still able to talk and carry on a conversation pretty much the whole way!

k, so on sunday my 3 yr old (who by the way is a very 'solid' 3 yr old) was flushing stuff down the toilet and i grabbed him out of the way...anyway, i did the whole 'bend and twist' thing and my back got really strained. Just my luck!

So since I have that half ironman this weekend and I actually want to finish, i have been doing some major resting. I didn't work this week at all. I sent my kids to the babysitter anyway, so I wouldn't have to lift them. I went to the chiropractor 3 times and also had a massage! Wow, I feel exhausted just re-cooping! 

Anyway, I have felt pretty good this morning. My back just feels a little tweeked now, so I attempted 3 miles on the TM and did pretty good!

So, my plan this saturday is to just go REALLY SLOW (which won't be hard anyway!) & see how my back feels and just play it by ear....oh, ya and have fun!

Im not sure how it will go, since I have only done 3 miles.....but at least I know I can complete 3 miles of the 70.3......!

Holy Cow....I did it!

I did the Utah Half Ironman Tri on sat. My first Tri ever! The morning of the race I woke up cursing my husband for talking me into signing up for this! 

All I have to say is running after biking that long.....UUUGGGGGG!

I feel like I got a huge education in triathlons.......looking back now, there is so many things I would have done different.....live and learn.

I am however very please with my time. I had several goals and mini self accomplishments for me!

I wanted to do it in under 6 hrs! I wanted to do the bike portion in under 3 hrs! This is the furthest I have ever rode my bike in my life! First open water swim with other people kicking and clawing! Got to kiss my hubby on the run course (I know cheesy!)

My only frustration is I walked over half of the run course. The bike trashed my legs and it was super duper hot!

Also, my back and knee felt pretty good the whole time!

Ran with my husband.was going to go 6, but halfway through my foot started to really bug me. Ryan had to run back to the car and come get me.  Sometimes when  I bike this spot on the outside of my foot bugs me a little, but usually goes away.  Going to see doctor tomorrow.

SOOOOOOO          BUMMMMEEEDDD!!!!

 

Went to the podiatrist today & the good news is I do not have a stress fracture in my foot, which i was a little worried about. But the bad news is I have tendonitis in my 5th metatarsal. Said no running for 3 weeks! What, this can't be happening 3 Weeks before the marathon! So Bummed!  He said biking hard or getting up out of saddle aggravated it and now running is aggravating it. It seems to be a little better today, I could actually walk w/o limping....

He said I could probably try to do the marathon....key word is "TRY"....but if it starts to hurt even a little, I need to hop on the "bus"....and he said just to run for fun.......well it isn't very fun for me if I can't do as good as I have trained for, so not sure at this point what I will do!

Better news, is he said it should be totally healed within a couple months! I have been toying around with the idea of doing the IronMan before I decide to have baby #3.....so maybe this is what I can look forward too! I feel so lost if I don't have an exercise goal!

You could always run the STGM in an orthopedic boot?? That sucks about your foot!!

From Burt on Wed, Sep 07, 2011 at 19:35:02 from 206.19.214.144

Sorry Anji! I hope it gets better in time for you to run SGM. If not, I hear Ben's running Mesquite. You could join him. :)

From anji on Wed, Sep 07, 2011 at 19:59:04 from 71.38.245.132

Burt-

i was actually considering doing Mesquite instead of SGM....are you doing it to? I want to be one of the people on your blog that you have met in person! I would feel so complete as a runner!

Ben-

I will do it in an orthopedic boot if you push me in our baby jogger.

LOL... A word of caution... I have the tendency to let go of the stroller on downhills. I love watching that thing pick up speed, and the kids don't seem to mind!

From Burt on Thu, Sep 08, 2011 at 18:30:05 from 206.19.214.144

Ben's on the list Anji. You really should join the list. It will make all the difference in the world.

went to chiropractor today and he said my foot could be having tendonitis because my cuboid bone in my foot is jammed..He did this thing to my foot that hurt like HELL (pardon my french!)...it was called the "black snake whip" and I had several loud pops from my foot. But my foot felt alot better when i was done and I was able to walk out with any pain shooting up my foot/leg......so crazy, thanks Dr Miyasaki ....unfortunately my tendons in my foot are still sore, and i still need to take it easy for awhile, but at least this is a step in the right direction!

went to my podiatrist today. He said that my foot was doing much better than he expected and he said I should try the marathon. I said I had already decided not to do it and he said I really should at least TRY it.....

So I guess I should follow doctors orders, right!   Ha ha ha.....I really don't know. I haven't ran one bit in almost 4 weeks. Besides the fact that I am out of shape and like to eat cookies, chips, and soda! Im not sure if I want another injury!  But I think I will try a couple miles on treadmill tomorrow, pick up my race packet and decide early saturday morning!

My good friend Cheri also hurt her foot and she is going to walk/run the marathon. So I was thinking I would just have "fun" with it and do it with her and hop on the bus if there is any inkling of pain........

I hate making decisions! I guess we shall see!

Today both happy and sad. I am happy I tried the SG marathon in spite of being hurt. If you would have asked me a month ago when i got injured if I could run 13 miles, I wouldn't have believed you. But I do wish I would have listened to my body and took more time off, I feel like even though I did run 13 miles (yeah!), I set myself back a couple weeks.

 

4 am woke up. I still was having doubts about running the marathon. I did 20 min of yoga, got ready, ate oatmeal mixed with some protein powder. Went to the park to catch the bus. I ran into many people there who thought I was crazy for even trying the race today. This gave me even more doubt. I was ready to walk back to the car. My husband told me to just give it a shot and there is no shame in quitting. Lots of people do it. I did want to so be apart of the action! (between babies and injuries, I haven't done the SGM in5 yrs)....so I got on the bus like a zombie, still not knowing if I should run. Got off the bus. I was suppose to meet Cheri and the aid station, but our bus was late and the race shortly started. I actually ran with my clothes bag etc for the first mile, I didn't have time to walk over to the clothes drop off before the race.

I started out slowly. about 10 min mile pace, just to feel out my foot/ankle and see how it was holding up. At mile 2 I found Cheri and Natalie Christensen and started running with them (they two also have injuries and are in it just to finish....like me!) Ran around a 830 pace. I felt like I could go much faster, but really did not want to push it. I felt like I was rolling the dice on this race! I caught myself running in the 7min range a few times and realized I lost Cheri and Nat. I stopped to tie my shoe once and wait for them. But realized I had lost them. So I just started running and paying attention to my body. I ran up Veyo hill and couldn't believe how well my foot/ankle felt. I was so very happy. I felt the "runner's high" setting it! I was just happy to be running....period.

Mile 12 I started to feel a little weakness in my ankle. Normally if I felt this while running, I would have blew it off like no big deal, but I don't know if I was extra in tune or paranoid, but I started to walk. I walked prob 400m then started to run again. It was gone! yeah!!!! Wrong, I then stepped down and it hurt more. It wasn't a sharp pain like I first experience when I originally hurt my foot, but a dull ache.  So I walked more, prob a half mile. Saw the bathrooms and decided to take a little break.  After, as soon as i came out, I saw Cheri and Nat! Ran and chatted with them for a sec. My ankle still bothered me and I tried to ignore it, but it was still there. I then realized I needed to follow my doctors advice and listen to my body and.......this would be a good time to stop. I didn't want it to progress to my full blown injury again. I said farewell to Cheri and Nat and told them I was going to catch the shuttle back. It must have been fate or more like divine intervention, but right after I said that I turned around and saw the shuttle van. I flagged them down and hopped in.

There were a few others in the van, so I didn't feel to bad. They welcomed me on. We drove two more aid stations and someone over the intercom said there was another runner that needed on the shuttle. As I looked out to see who the runner was I saw Amber and my heart hurt for her. She was also injured and I felt so bad. I know the pains of realizing you have an injury, but to get one during a race is awful. It is so hard  when your body won't do what your mind knows you can.

After the slow ride back to town, I saw a few of my friends running and was so excited for them. Yeah to Court and Cathy who both PR'd! When we got back to the finish line, I hoped in my car and drove home. Picked up my kids and parents who were visiting and made our way back to the finish line to cheer for Ryan. He didn't train at all. Ever since the Ironman he has barely run. His goal was to finish under 6 hrs and he got 451. We had a laugh that his Ironman Marathon time wasn't much slower!!!!

 All in all, I learned a lesson today to listen to my body and heart. I am glad I am not back at ground zero with my injury and felt if I kept running I would have been. But I should have just been a spectator for one more yr, (running is my drug of choice, and I just can't stay away!)........there will always be another race!!!!

ankle still bothering me. I have been icing and rest as much as possible. I haven't had a chance to ride my new bike yet and I really want to. I rode for just 2 miles today to take it for a test ride. I rode on one of the easiest gears, I didn't want to hurt ankle more, but i love my new bike!!!! yeah, I think once my ankle is better, I am gonna ride more than run for awhile and let ankle fully heal!

After we tried water jogging! We put on these floaty belt devices, so we couldn't touch the ground and then "jogged" several laps. It was actually really fun and very comical! I think we finally got the hang of it after awhile!

today I started a new class at the Washington Rec center called HIT training. (High Intensity Training). Once a week we bring in our bikes and trainers and do a class on our bikes. Sort of like spin, but better. It is hopefully going to make me a better biker! I really struggle in this department!

I was kind of nervous to do this class, everyone in there are serious bikers, but it was fun. I did set my stuff up in the back and just had fun. My friend Allyson is doing the class with me.

The class kicked my butt! We did these things called ILT's (where we peddeled with just one leg and then alternated)

It will b a fun 12 weeks!
