"No one ever drowned in sweat."

5.0 TM miles this morning. AP 9:25.

 5:00am came really early this morning, but I feel SO much better having my miles in for the day! Hopefully I can keep it up this week. 

 I'm off to take my kids to the playground; what a nice warm day! 

6.0 TM miles this morning. Miles 1 and 6 at 9:30; miles 2, 3, 4, and 5 varied between 8:15 and 8:35.  

I got interrupted at mile 2.5 by my 2 year old.  I thought by getting up at 5:00am that I would guarantee no interruptions! He started screaming at me over the roar of the treadmill "STOP RUNNING MOM!!!" He told me he had gone pee pee in his pull-up and needed me to change him. So after a 15 minute ordeal of changing him and singing him a few songs to get back to sleep I had to go help my other child who got woken up b/c of Connor's screaming episode.

My husband was in the middle of studying for a test he had this morning, but was nice enough to come help put the baby back to sleep while I finished on the TM.  

I'm just happy to have gotten my miles in and was glad to have kept a fast pace (for me) for 4 straight miles! Wahoo!

I'm planning on running outside tomorrow morning, so unless I get hit by a car, I won't be having any interruptions!  

4.5 miles outside this morning at 6:30am...Wahoo! I got to sleep in today! AP 9:28. Lots and lots of hills! I LOVE running outside now! It's still chilly in the mornings, but the valley is SO pretty when the sun comes up over the mountains. Especially when there is no smog. 

I'm off to my in-laws for a few days w/the family.  My husband is off of school for spring break, only a two day break mind you, but I'll take what I can get!  

I wasn't brave enough to run outside in the snow/rain so I ran 7.0 on the TM at an AP of 8:35.  I kept getting side cramps in the first few miles so I started out a little slower than I'd like, but I think I made up for it toward the end.  My knees really started to hurt around mile 5 so hopefully resting on Sunday will prevent any injury from occurring.  

I'm excited for better weather this week!!!

I also need some advice on which races to run.  I've been invited to run the Wasatch Back with some women in my neighborhood, but I will be in a car with no one I know.  I've heard from a lot of people that it's a lot of fun, but I'm not sure if it will be worth it.  Also, if I run Wasatch Back, that will max out my racing budget for the whole year.  I may be able to do one other 5k or something, depending on how much it is.  I heard that South Jordan is holding a half marathon in July, I think it's the first year they are doing it, and I really would like to do that one. Any suggestions????
