Stronger, Tougher, Faster, Smaller

Did a nice little loop in St. Anthony Idaho. Made a quick stop at the other of my twin  aunts house about half way through! I really needed it :)

Ran with Natalie who was doing the Liberty 5k in Rexburg ID.  She took first in her age but it was an awful race. Course was nice but it was a bit windy. They gave us a t shirt, and had water at the end. That's it. No raffle no swag bag no coupons. It really kind of stunk in the funness of 5k's.  They were slow with the results, about an hour to get them done and they only had about 120 participants and the guy was GR-ump-PY!

Natalie took first in her age and got a medal. She was sooooo very happy. 

Natalie did the first 4 with me on her bike. She is getting better at her two wheeler but still lacks confidence, but she can do it!  Chris ran those 4 with us too. He then got on his bike with the kids in tow while I ran another 6.5. Not bad for a tuesday mornin'.

3 miles on treadmill. Mile 1 easy warm up 11:30, mile two still felt good at 10:50, then kept picking up the pace for the last mile. Time for number three was about 9:45.  

I did another 1.5 mile jogging behind kids to free lunch and back.  I have a new recipe I want to try today so will be heading out to the store soon.  

June/July have been hard weight months. Err, too much new food being offered to me all of the time. I need some consistency but any weight I gain comes off the next week of controlling my portions again.  All in all I am still down 48 lbs since november. I need to loose a total of 75 at least. 

RHPC 1/2

I got lucky today because I was able to spend the night in American Fork so I didn't have to get up as early to do the race.

 I didn't even realize who all the people were who were there. It was lots of fun.  I was nervous about starting off too fast but I averaged about 11:30 on the way up the canyon(was sooo glad to turn around) I then averaged 10:30 on the way back down. YIPPEE and I even had a potty stop. Total time was 2:25 that is only 7 minutes from my all time PR and that was over 5 years ago!  It also happened to be 50 minutes faster than Moab 1/2 THIS YEAR!  (Ok, so I could have run Moab half faster than that but I was pacing with a "virgin" halfer-who I talked into doing the race) But still even if I had pushed it I probably would have finished in 2:45ish. I am very pleased with my run today and can't wait until next year!!!
