Run in k-town on the soft, sandy trails. AP 9:04

Another run in Kennewick, my second mile was up a very steep long hill. It was my slowest mile but the rest of the run was under 8:30 pace. 

AP 8:40

Last run in Kennewick on a paved path. AP 8:30

4 miles in Coeur d'Alene. Then a 2 mile hike @ Tubbs hill.

Slow, tired run today.

A storm rolled in while I ran this evening. I'm a little disappointed with my progress to this point. It's August already and I was hoping to be further along in my training since I ran through most of my pregnancy. Sometimes it feels like it didn't make a difference. Sorry, I'm kind of a downer today. AP 8:44

Not feeling well today. Ran on roads and trails from my in laws. AP 9:19

I decided to run a tempo run today. It didn't go very well I have a sinus infection and felt tired from the start. Warm up to the South Ogden tempo loop. Splits were 7:00, 7:03, 6:59. I'm hoping to feel better next week, no energy today it was a struggle to get through the workout today. Cool down 2.2 miles. 

I have been sick the last couple days and didn't run yesterday. I kind of forced myself to do a run today. I'm still feeling the sickness, low energy and congested. But I'm glad I got through it. AP 8:51

6.2 miles around my neighborhood and .93 more with my girls. I always count it because they don't stop. Starting to get over my sickness and today I've started the 21 day challenge. So I did the total cardio workout this morning which was 30 minutes. I'm hoping to see some weight loss in 3 weeks. 

Feeling sore today from my second workout of 21 day fix, this morning I did upper body fix. Ran in the evening for 6 miles then another mile with my daughter. 

Morning, lower body fix.

I wanted to run a workout today and decided on 8x400s. 2 mile warm up  ran them with 1:40 rest between each 400. Splits started out like this: 92, 92, 92, 94. After I ran the 94 I thought, that's enough of the 92-94 sec. 400 splits. I've been doing the same pace the last couple times I've attempted 400s and it was time to wake the mama bear up and get my body moving faster. I wanted to see some improvement so I focused up for the last 4 and ran 87, 88, 88, 87, I'm happier with that result. Hoping to see some more improvement. 1 mile cool down. 

Morning Pilates fix

Evening run nice and easy. 

Easy morning run. I'm running a 4 mile race tomorrow in Roy. I'm not quite sure it'll turn out as well as I would like with these extra workouts I've been doing everyday but tomorrow's race isn't end game. These 21 day fix workouts are helping lose weight and convert my flabbiness into muscle.

After the run cardio fix.

We got a babysitter today so I could go run this race in Roy, while Riley was up running top of utah. I ran Focus4 back in 2011 and took 2nd place. I needed another race to run this month and remembered this one was a good course, well marked, and well put together race with a lot of prizes for giveaway. They did $100 cash prize to the overall male and female winners and then $20 if you won your age division, I was hoping for one of those prizes. I showed up to the race and did a 2 mile warm up. I was feeling good but I wasn't sure how this race would go because of all the 21 day fix workouts I've been doing this week. I've been extra sore. I was warmed up and ready to go at 7:55 because I was planning on 8:00 for the start time. It turns out that everybody had to walk about half mile to the start so we didn't get started until about 8:20. I forgot about that from 4 years earlier. Once the race started the first mile felt pretty stiff. There weren't any other females ahead of me at the start but I looked behind about halfway and saw a female about 1 minute back so I made sure I concentrated the whole way and didn't let up from the pace I was running. Not that my pace was very impressive, but for me, I was pushing the whole way. They had one hill at the end of mile one that wasn't too long then a good uphill in mile 3. My splits were 6:59, 6:56, 7:03, 6:44. I was happy with my race today it went better then I expected. I felt like I was focused the whole race and pushed through the difficult portions. Now I'm $100 richer. 

Run in the heat. AP 8:55

Plyo fix in the morning.

I haven't had a great couple days and it all piled up this afternoon and I just mentally wasn't there for my run today so I called it quits early. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow. 

At least I got upper fix in this morning, the day wasn't a total loss. 

Feeling better about life today, mother in law watched the kids while I ran. Nervous about my oldest starting school tomorrow.  

Lower fix in the afternoon

I met up with Sariah at Beus Pond to do a workout. I haven't had a great week so I wasn't sure how this would feel today, Sariah also has not had a great week. She had a flu bug for a few days that did a number on her. She just planned on jumping in a few of my intervals with me. 2 mile warm up and then I did 4x1000 and then 4x400s. The goal for the 1000s was 4:04 the goal for the 400s was to not die. Splits 3:59, 4:00, 4:01, 4:04. 3 min jog then 400s:  90, 89, 86, 86. About 1:35-1:45 jog for rest. I was pushing hard those last two 400s. 2 mile cool down. The workout was an improvement from a similar workout I did a month ago. 

Pilates fix in the morning.

No run today, trying to get rid of this horrible rash I've had for 2 weeks now. 

Total body fix

Got out and did 12 miles with Sariah on the river parkway. I'm a leper and she's coming off a week long stomach bug. Its been a rough week for the both of us. AP 8:24

Dirty 30 fix

5.7 miles tonight. I'm on a bunch of different meds to cure my poison ivy. Hoping to see some results this week.
