| 6.5 miles, AP 8:17, forgot to check the temp but it was hot. Maverick loop. Had this cutest patient today. Let's just say that she is quite a bit older but extremely fit. Anyway, during the evaluation I couldn't help but notice a fairly large but not huge tattoo on her forearm. I said to her, "You must like (and then I named the object in the tattoo)." She asserted that she did. I asked her how old she was when she got the tattoo. She told me 70!!!!!!! She said that she talked her daughter and daughter-in-law in getting ones as well!!!! She was so stinkin' cute!! I just love her. :-) |

Her name is Rachel. I have seen her out a couple of times before. She is also training for SGM. Hopefully I will have a running partner now a couple of times a week. She seems AWESOME! |

| 6 miles, AP 7:42 to Brigham exit and back. Was hoping to run 10 seconds faster per mile like last week but simply didn't have it in me. It was 82 degrees though.

| 7 miles, AP 8:01, Maverick Loop plus a little. :-) I know that not many people look at this blog, but for those few of you who do this message is for you :-) As you know, two of my kiddos (Sophia and Oliver aka Smo and Sherm) have been running for several years now. Once we moved to St George they became part of a running club, Quick Feet. They have admired this club for several years when they would race against their runners at the USATF State and Regional Championships for youth. Something about these kids drew my kids to them! Not only were they often the very best runners but their sportsmanship was amazing. In fact, Sherm became best friends with two of the sprinters who were on the Quick Feet team long before we moved here. Some people thought this was surprising because the two boys whom he became best friends with were also his biggest competition. Those three together would almost always place fist, second and third in their events, and usually it was a camera photo finish with it being extremely difficult to tell which one of them had actually crossed the line first. The fun part was watching them after the race was over. They would be jump around, handing out high fives and congratulating each other as they would make friendly wagers on who the actual winner was before it was announced. Anyway, it was this kind of sportsmanship, talent, and camaraderie that made us seek them out. To make a long story short (even though it seems like I am giving you the long version) these kids come from all across St. George and surrounding areas with all kinds of backgrounds. The coach never turns anyone runner away, regardless if they can pay club fees or not. The only condition is that they must be willing to put in their full effort. This includes training 4 days a week beginning at 6:30 a.m. (since it is often well above 100 degrees in the afternoon). Furthermore, the club helps each of the runners who do not have the funds to travel to compete. Unfortunately, the club has not been able to raise enough funds to get all of the runners who qualified for the National Junior Olympics there (it is in Houston, Texas). And although I am grateful that we have the means to get our children there (as well as help some others) we still fall far short and it breaks my heart to see some of these young runners not be able to compete at this level simply because the funds are not available. So, here is your chance. If you can donate even $5.00 it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! :-) http://www.gofundme.com/quickfeet |

| 10 miles. AP 8:37. I logged these as all easy miles but they didn't feel easy one iota! I'm in Las Vegas with the fam. The plan was to wake up early and head out before the sun came up. Unfortunately Ry had a snore-fest last night and so I went and slept on the pullout bed with the twins. It was not comfy but they were kind enough to let me bombard their space. Sadly we all tossed and turned and consequently did not hear the alarm. It was 9 a.m. by the time I got out. It was 97 degrees when I started and 105 when I finished. I stopped at a couple of gas stations which were nice enough to let me fill my tiny orange juice plastic container that I had brought along with me with ice. Wow, that was not a fun run.
12 weeks to SGM. Time to get a plan drawn up. The plan is to get that done tonight. :-)

| A.M. 7 miles, AP 8:14. This morning's run was one of the most vivid runs I have ever had. It was 84゜when I started at 5:20 this morning. The sky was black and filled with dark clouds. There was no rain in my neighborhood but lightning was striking both on the east and west side. The dark sky would be lit about with each jolt. Crack, boom! It felt a little eery, almost as if I was being chased. I decided since I was not being rained upon that I was safe. Not sure if that was a correct assumption but I went with it. At about 2 miles large drop of rains started falling. I turned around and headed back home but before I was there the rain had stopped so I headed a different direction. The lightning bolts were becoming less frequent but the wind began to pick up making the uphills seem much longer than usual. The sun began to peep through the clouds and the sky began changing colors, deep blue, purple, pink over the red rock. It was majestic beyond measure. A feeling of complete oneness with nature came over me. Not exactly sure why it affected me this me but everything seemed so alive. I loved this morning's run. P.M. Plyometrics Alternate Bounding 2 x 5 CMJs 2 x 5 SL Jumps for height 2 x 5 Box Jumps (12 inch) 2 x 5 Depth Jumps 2 x 5 ________________ Total plyo reps: 50 |

| A.M. 6.5 miles, AP 8:34 5 miles with Rachel around the surrounding neighborhoods and 1.5 by my lonesome. It was great to finally meet up with Rachel for a run and can't wait to do it more often. :-) P.M. ST: Core So, this may be kind of crazy but eating radishes makes me feel very happy inside! I think it stems from my childhood when one year we planted a garden but all that came up was one broccoli plant and about 1000 radishes. The radishes seemed to be the size of a small apples (at least that is how they seemed to me at 6 years of age). We were all so proud of those radishes! :-) Hope everyone is having a GREAT week. :-) |

| 17 miles, AP 8:14, 85° First 9.25 by my lonesome then Ry joined me for the final 7.75 💚💚💚 Highest mileage week for me since before Boston. I feel tired but I think that has more to do with the heat and work than anything. Can't wait to see how Smooth's marathon went this morning. Happy weekend, All! Don't forget to eat your fruits and veggies! 🍊🍒🍆 UPDATE!!! This is awesome, my kiddos are in the Spectrum Newspaper today. Oliver (the one in the picture) has set some pretty high goals for himself (you have to read his quote)!! Hee Hee!!! So proud of my kiddos! Man I love each and every one of them!

| 7 miles, AP 8:28 Great run this morning with fabulous company! Sophia and I ran roughly 1.5 miles before we met up with Rachel, then we all ran together for another 2 miles, then Rachel and I dropped off Smo and ran a few more together, and then I ran back home. The time just flew by! Loved it. :-) ST: hips/glutes |

On our way to HOUSTON!!! Go Smo and Sherm!!!! Opening ceremony tonight. Watch it and events live on USATF.tv
BEYOND excited for my kiddos to have this experience. And a HUGE thank you to those of you who donated so that some of Quick Feet's young runners who couldn't afford to go now have that opportunity! I'll keep you in the loop on how they do. You know who you are. :-)

| 7.25 miles, AP 8:35 5.25 miles with Rachel and 2 by my lonesome. It is so nice having someone to run with in the mornings! I don't have a patient until 9 this morning and so my goal is to catch up my blog here! Like everything else right now, it has fallen quite behind! :-) Houston was a FANTASTIC experience for the kiddos! It was so so so stinkin' HOT and HUMID though! I have no idea how people train and race in those conditions. We spent roughly six hours a day at the track to watch our kids as well as the rest of the Quick Feet runners. Most of the hours were in the sun (roughly 95-100 degrees) and humidity in the 70s and 80s! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY!!! Sherm and Smo did AMAZING! It was quite the experience for Sherm to race all these crazy fast runners. In Utah he has become accustomed to being among the very fastest! At Nationals, not so much! In fact, even though he PR's on his 200 he was definitely towards the slow end of the runners there!! ********* Sherm's results (11 y.o.) 200 meters, 27.92 seconds 100 meters, 13.84 seconds Neither of these times were fast enough to get him past the preliminaries. I'm telling you though, some of these 11 and 12 year old boys look like they are 16!!! I'm not exaggerating even in the slightest. It is CRAZY!!!! The cool thing was that instead of moping or feeling discouraged by his results Sherm was instead motivated to get even better and faster!! I LOVE IT!!! (He is even considering trying to figure out a way to grow a mustache because he said some of those boys his age had them!!!!!!) ********* Sophia's results (12 y.o.) 800 meters, 2:41.6 Not her best, but crazy good considering she threw up 7 times within the hour of her race, including once while walking to the starting line. In fact, the officials asked her if she was okay and needed to sit out. She gave them the stink eye and said, "No, I'm fine!" She is one tough cookie!!! 1500 meters, 5:26.73 A new personal record and 36th in the Nation :-) She definitely got a taste of what it is like to compete with the best of the best and it has lit a fire inside of her that I believe will never go out! She has already made a two year plan to become an All American (meaning you have to place in the top 8). :-) Her splits for the 1500 meters were: 300 m 1:00.66 700 m 1:29.5 1100 m 1:31.55 1500 m 1:25.02 Anyway, that's the update!!!! Gotta get to work!!! Hope everyone is having a GREAT week!!! :-) |
