11.7 miles on the JRP with JohnnyV, Matt, Marty and Andy D. Very fun run with a couple of threshold miles and Puke Hill towards the end.

It was also nice to run into many friends on the parkway as well! Beautiful day!!!

Feeling good!!! :)

* Question: Is anyone trying to sell their UVM full spot? Marty is looking for a spot.

Hallelujah, it's over!!! :) :) :)

This week has been crazy and this race was not on my priority list until Friday. Sadly, I forgot a bunch of my stuff at home including my sunglasses and visor. Not surprising seeing that I took an ambien at 11:00 last night and was still pretty drugged up when I got up at 2:30 this morning. Matt and JohnnyV were hoping that I was drugged up enough that I wouldn't remember them calling me Big-Headed Princess. But I remember and they are in so much trouble!!! ;)

Same gig, different name: Ahead of schedule through mile 22ish and then crashed and burned! :) So, my new reason to why I keep falling a few minutes short of my goal is simple: I think I can run faster than I actually can!! Good to know!!! :) :) :) Very cool to have a running partner the whole way! JohnnyV and I ran the first 20 together and then Fonz came to pace me the last 6.2. LOVED having them to run with. I was a pretty pathetic runner towards the end and appreciated Fonz's help. It was also nice to have Rhett at the finish line to keep me steady. I felt pretty icky. Thanks Rhett!!  

Still not quite sure what type of running goals I should have while in school. It has been more intense than I thought. BUT I LOVE IT!!!

(My watch was totally messed up. Shows a 5:23 for my 15th mile and that I ran 26.56 miles -- which by the way totally stinks when you are thinking you are going to quit at 26.2.)

BEST PART: Ry and the kids surprised me and came!!!! :) :) :) I was so happy to see them!!!! Watched my SSF run in and then headed home.

Congrats to so many of the FRBers that had stellar races!!! WAHOO!!!! :)

* Eating and sleeping this week was pathetic. Not good ... but what do you do?

D-News?

6 miles at Gold's (Latest plan: School = less time to run. So, for the time being, running fewer miles but running them faster seems to be the way to go. This is easier to do at the gym because people are always around. Vanity. Sigh. ;))

20 minutes upright bike

Happy week! :)

Beautiful morning turned scary.

My girls and I decided to run a 5K this morning (a bribe of slurpees helped in the decision making process). It started out absolutely wonderfully. We were running about a 10:40ish pace, laughing, giggling, running through sprinklers when possible, etc. Anyway ... Livvy kept wanting to run faster. I would hold her back and tell her to just stay with the group until we got close to home, and so she did. As soon as we turned into our neighborhood she looked at me with eager eyes and said, "Okay Mom ... I am going to run fast now!" I smiled and told her to have fun. As soon as Sophia saw what Livvy was doing she decided to join in. About one minute later I hear Sophia screaming, "Something is wrong with Liv." I was only a few yards behind them and so was there within seconds. Livvy was trying to breath but all you could hear was this low gurgly wheeze. I asked her to talk to me, but she could not respond. I picked her up and ran home with her (luckily we were very close). Rylee had run ahead to grab my inhaler. Livvy could not inhale the medicine so I puffed in about 5 pumps. In less than a minute she started breathing more normally, but was acting lethargic and not herself. I called my asthma doc and took her in. After three hours of various testing all asthma and allergy tests came back negative. I have no idea what happened. We are to see her regular doc next week and get a CBC done. She is acting completely like herself now. She says that she felt great the whole run and was having fun until her sudden incident. It was a horrible experience.

Could it just be a virus?

15 minute full body workout from Men's Health with Ry. Dang good workout for 15 minutes.

As I am debating D-News I wanted to run this morning in the heat. Started in the mid 60s, ended in the mid 70s ... but felt much hotter. I am such a baby! (Btw, does anyone know roughly what type of temps I should expect at D-News if I plan to run about a 3:30?)

6.2 miles with Ry, AP 9:22

8 miles by my lonesome, AP 7:52

1 mile with P-dawg, AP 8:05

Happy Saturday! :)

Happy Monday. :)

Update: So here is something crazy. Just got a call from someone in Camp Tracy's med tent. Payton just passed out ... no warning signs ... nothing ... out of no where he just went down to the ground. They were not doing anything strenuous. This is crazy: Friday we had the episode with Livvy (see post) and today this with Payton. It must be some kind of virus, don't you think? Payton does not want to come home and says he feels fine. Ry is on his way there to pick him up anyway. This is just nuts.

Ran to the gym, did a speedwork of 8 800s with 400 m jog between each, then a set of circuits with Fonz, then ran home. Dead tired! :)

800s: 3:29,3:29, 3:27, 3:27, 3:24, 3:24, 3:22, 3:20

On a funny note: My 9 year old, sweet Sophia, has really been into making contracts as of late (certainly she gets that from her lawyer daddy). Anyway, this one was on the computer screen last night. Made me laugh. (I will try and post some of her others later ... they are seriously a riot -- at least I think they are.)

IF YOUR’E IN THE BAND YOU CAN NOT BE MEAN IF YOUR’E MEAN YOUR’E OUT OF THE BAND SAME RULE FOR RESPECT AND IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE IN THE BAND YOU TALK TO ME (SOPHIA) AND I’LL CROSS YOUR NAME OUT AND IF YOU WANT TO BE BACK IN THE BAND YOUR’E TO LATE OR YOU CAN A POLAGISE AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REWRITE YOUR NAME.
