| Been a while since i've logged my miles but i'm back and motivated. Tonight just went for a little evening run with the fam around the lake. The wind had finally calmed down and we couldn't resist the beautiful weather. We were ALSO needing to run off the pizza from lunch, so that helped too! We averaged about 8:10 pace which is good because by the end of my runs I'm not completely dead. I accomplished what I was thought was the impossible on Saturday. I went for a short little run with my jogging stroller AND my crazy dog at the same time. I was so incredibly proud of myself. This means two things. 1) I will have a more well behaved dog and 2) I can now run other places other than outside my house during the busiest time because I won't feel like I am going to be attacked going around Hefner in the middle of the afternoon! So I wasn't going to run in the upcoming Memorial Marathon(I was only going to do the half), but my husband convinced me to just go ahead and do it anyways and see where I am in my training. It should be interesting to see where my fitness is right now considering all I've done for about 2 months now have been easy runs and just trying to build my miles. But my runs have been getting easier and I'm about up to 40 miles a week which feels pretty good. Anyways, planning to get up and get an easy run in then hoping to get a little circuit done in the afternoon. Hope I won't be as sore as I was last workout, but we'll see! |

- 10 thrusters
- 100 jump rope
- 10 assisted wide grip pull-ups

After resting for a minute I cashed out with 3 rounds as fast as I could: - 10 back squat(55)
- 10 GHD sit-ups
- 10 box jumps
- 10 hanging toes-head
Had planned to do a night run but feeling beat. Run longer tomorrow!

| Such a beautiful evening and decided to just get my longer run in tonight. Felt pretty good. Met of with friends and then Jake met me halfway around the lake and finished with me. My cardio strength is slowly coming back, unfortunately the same calf problem I had all last year training for the marathon is starting to come back. I have no idea what the problem is. On all my long runs last year, right around mile 10 my calves and and foot would cramp up on the right leg. I tried everything! Salt tabs, pickle juice, goos, chomps, water, gatorade. NOTHING WORKED. During the marathon I hoped it wouldn't pop up but right around lucky mile 10 it made its appearance and lasted all through mile 20. It absolutely killed my time because I had to keep stopping and stretching. It was the most frustrating thing because my energy was up and my breathing was under control. I wanted to keep pushing the pace but I couldn't. Last week during my longer run with my husband it happened again. I really want to find the solution to my problems before I get into heavy training this summer. It would make my long runs much more enjoyable and not to mention allow me to push the pace and actually get stronger. I'm always up for new suggestions. So if anyone has anything that might help, I'm all ears!!! Hope everyone enjoys their long run this weekend:) |

Ran 10 tonight with the family. Wind had finally died down and it the weather was so nice. Felt pretty good, got a little tired towards the end but that could be from dehydration or taking a day off before. Plan on training right through the half this weekend. I'm finally starting to feel good on my longer runs, and I want to use it as just a time trial to see where my fitness is at. The goal is to be anywhere from 45-50 this week and then I plan on just staying in the 50 range for about a month and just work on getting in some faster miles, and getting stronger.

| Did a morning run. My body just felt horrible. I'm trying to cut weight right now and in the evenings have been trying to do little carbs and the night before Jake and I ran 10, but we did it super easy and then had dinner. I don't know if it was from the 10 or the lack of carbs but the 8 just felt awful. My body was dead and it just felt like there was nothing in me. I think especially because I'm nursing and as long as I'm running everyday I need to up my caloric intake for the day and not try to cut out carbs in the evening. Bad idea. I'll still be at a deficit just from all the calories I'm burning as long as I'm just not OVER eating. |

| Giving myself a little rest day. It was nasty weather outside and I was still feeling a little dead from the previous day. I walked on the tred for a couple miles then did a little training circuit. Light weight and short since I'm running this weekend. - 400 sprint uphill
- 15 kb swings
- 10 burpees
- 10 plie squat with inverse shoulder press
REPEAT 3 more times. After I got a good sweat worked up and my heart rate going, I cooled down with an easy 3 miles. |

AM- 5 miles with Bailey this morning. It was such a gorgeous morning! It is starting to get lighter earlier, so that's really nice. It was mid 30s and no wind! Felt so much better than earlier in the week. Legs felt fresh and springy. Planning to do a couple more miles tonight with Jake but we'll see when he gets home:) PM- 3 mi. Did a quick run with Jake this evening. I wasn't going to run longer on Friday or Saturday so I figured today was the day to get in a little more. Planning to take the next two days just a little easier in hopes to keep my legs fresh and light for Sunday. I decided after the half it will kick off the next phase of training. I want to take the next 6 weeks, still building my miles but adding in atleast 1 day a week of tempo/speed work. It's time to get my turn over going. |

Memorial Half Marathon (13.1 Miles) 01:43:30 | | Easy Miles | Marathon Pace Miles | Threshold Miles | VO2 Max Miles | Total Distance | | 1.00 | 13.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 14.00 |
| So the race went pretty well. I started out with the goal of staying under 8, since all of my runs have all been around that pace. Mile 1 I came in around 7:20 and obviously with adrenaline and racing it felt super easy. So I stayed conservative and decided if I can keep all of them under 7:45, I would be happy with that. I got to around mile 8 and all of them were right around 7:30 and I felt great! I had to take a pit stop really bad, and it ended up taking around a minute...yikes. So after that, I felt a lot better and picked it back up. Right around my favorite mile 10, my cardio felt GREAT, but my stupid leg started cramping up. I was so angry and was NOT stopping. Kept going and then it started to loosen up until it moved up to my hip/glute. I was so angry, I only had about a mile left and it was so painful. With about a half mile to go I HAD to stop and try to stretch it out because at that point I couldn't even stride it out. So chip time was 1:43, but according to my watch it was 1:39 and my watch had us at 13.30 as well as many other different runners. I didn't let my watch keep running when I stopped because I was really curious about what kind of shape I was in. So overall I felt really good about the day and hope to start working on my foot speed and figuring out what I can do about this whole cramping issue! |

AM-Did an easy 5 with Bailey tonight. Pace was right around 8:30-8:40 which felt really easy. Getting excited about running again because my runs are starting to feel A LOT easier. Planning to double tomorrow and start building my miles. Body feels healthy and ready to go!

AM- 5 with Bailey. The morning felt way worse than last night. PM- 6 miles down at the river with Jake. After the Half I told myself I was going to start doing tempos so tonight was my first one. 1.5 warm up, 1.5 @7:15-7:10, .5 easy, 1.5 7-7:10, 1 cool down. It was super windy down at the river so I think if it wasn't as strong I think it would have felt easier. But I dont think it felt too bad for breaking away from the regular 8-8:30 pace.
