Smo and Sherm joined QuickFeet today! It was bittersweet! I knew they would love it but I also knew that many of my early morning runs with Smo would be coming to an end. Their practice starts at 6:30 a.m. at Snow Canyon High School so when work schedule permits I will have the luxury of running in the natural playground that surrounds the high school.

10 miles, AP 8:08

Began on the Snow Canyon trails -> pioneer highway -> Rachel street -> Puerto Street -> Center street and back. BEAUTIFUL. 5 miles up, 5 miles down.

I ran right past Fitness Ridge!!! You know, the Biggest Loser facility in Ivins. It was pretty cool if I say so myself! :-)

Zero running for me today but what a FANTASTIC day for Smo and Sherm!!

It was the USATF State Championship. We were unsure on how everything would go down with the move and all. Smo and Sherm joined their dream team, "QuickFeet", here in St. George 5 days prior to the meet. Here's how it went:

Sherm:

Raced both the 100 and 200 meters. Had no real training this year up until Monday. Struggled with the blocks (slipping on BOTH races). Started out behind, ended up taking third! Nicely done!!!

100 meters: 14.19 seconds

200 meters: 30.09 seconds

Sophia:

WOW!!! Huge PRs for her today! She looked SO strong!!! It was BEAUTIFUL!!!

800 meters: 2:45.69 (personal best by 6 seconds) and 1st place!!! The new STATE CHAMP!!!

1500 meters: 5.31.20 (personal best by 12 seconds)!!!! The race was INSANE!!!! She ended up taking second place, missing out on first by 1/100th of 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (First place ran a 5:31.19!) It was NUTZ!!! The four officials at the finish line were arguing on who won. THREE of them said Sophia BUT the main guy over the USATF youth in Utah, Tony Glover, said it was the other girl (and he has the last say). It was an AWESOME race!!!! Yeah, Sophia would have loved to have been the state champ but you can't sulk about a 12 second PR when you are running that fast!! I LOVED how her new coach talks to her!!! He was so excited for her and told her that you never worry about the placings at this point! Your focus is on your improvements, your times, your work ethic and your attitude! If you do that, the placings will come!

Regional Championship is in two weeks in Meridian, Idaho!! :-)

6 miles in Snow Canyon (3 up 3 down), AP 7:38. Ran hard (the lack of hard running shows but I feel good about this run considering). :-)

P.S.

If you are reading this it would be great if you would read my Saturday post and then congratulate Smo and Sherm (Sophia and Oliver: both are on my favorites list). :-)

5 miles with Ry, AP 8:17, in beautiful Snow Canyon! :-)

Snow Canyon is actually 20 minutes driving time from our house. However, since that's where the kids have track 3-4 days a week it is super convenient if my work schedule allows. I love running there.

5 miles with Ry, AP 8:17 (must be his internal pace since it was identical to yesterday) up into the Washington Fields area and back. :-)

I'm reading a really interesting book right now!!! I can't believe it ... I finally have leisure time to just read for fun!!!!

5 miles, AP 7:56

Down River Road and back. I think I found an entrance to some more trails. :-)

Oh and Smooth's post today reminded me of something: I probably need to find myself a good marathon training plan for SGM. My last couple of races that I have run without truly following some sort of plan have definitely had their shortcomings.

Can't decide how many miles I am willing to train a week right now. I suppose I am just truly enjoying not having to cram so much into such little time. Almost like I am on vacation sprinkled with fun work that I get paid for. It's just plain not normal!!!! :-)

6 miles, AP 8:09 to Brigham Exit and back.

The stinky thing about working the early schedule at the Hurricane clinic is that I don't get to run with Ry. That happens to be my schedule through Thursday. It's a really fun clinic though. :-(

Windy morning but still beautiful.

Hope all you men had a wonderful Father's Day. :-)

Core workout

I really need to get back to the resistance training. I have been doing bits and pieces here in there but nothing consistence. I know how important it is. Here's to walking the walk. :-)

No run. Was up super late the night before catching up with Lacy (our foster daughter many years ago). She is still such a huge part of our lives! Love her! :-)

14.5 miles by my lonesome, AP 8:27, 74゜

From my house into the Bloomington Hills area (the neighborhood with a lot of fun street names, like Blueberry Drive), wound my way onto the Virgin River Trail both west and east of River Road and then back home again ... jig a jig jig! :-)

Missed my Ry but he has had some back issues ever since driving to and from Meridian, Idaho. We've got that pretty worked out though and he should be running again in no time. :-) Probably should find myself some more running partners to make these longer runs not seem so long (only issue is that my work schedule can be a little wacko).

Here's to a wonderful weekend to All! :-)
