And back to the treadmill and iFit 5k in Bryce Canyon, Utah. Did you know Utah has the most national parks of any state? There are five national parks in Utah…and I can not name them. Run happy!

There is something special about every 100 days. Each time I hit a 100 day milestone I feel a sense of accomplishment and of deep gratitude. I am proud of the commitment and the stamina to keep up the streak. It isn’t easy and there are some days where I do have to sacrifice some…

Today was a 10 mile training day to prepare for the half next weekend in Mesa. Didn’t keep the pace that I want to hit next weekend so a little worried I won’t hit the PR I am shooting for. My legs and hips were just not feeling it today. Listening to the murder mystery…

Went on a short hike at CG Mountain this morning. The sun was shining so the 40 degree weather didn’t feel that cold. Beautiful day for both the hike and the run. Standard 3 .1 miles around Villago Lake where there were many people out also enjoying the great weather. Then had a hair appointment…

My schedule started fairly full and then I had some cancellations. So I took advantage of a slow afternoon and went to the gym for a late afternoon treadmill run. Today was a 5k near Salt Lake City, Utah. I am feeling strong still physically and getting stronger mentally. One week until my next half…

I am finding out that a wet cold is preferable to this dry, windy cold. So I opted for the treadmill again today. The iFit 5k that popped up today was a trail run in New Hampshire. I didn’t notice a date or time of year for the run, however, it was very green with…

Yesterday I ran my old three mile loop through the Mission Valley neighborhood. I forgot how much I like that wide community sidewalk that wraps the neighborhood and is lined with shade trees. I ran about a 9 minute pace and felt great. Today was an early morning and the temps are in the mid…

Headed out a little after 6:00am while still dark out with the temperature around 42 degrees. My legs felt a little tight and it took longer to warm up than normal. Completed a nice, slow three miles as the sky started to lighten with the sunrise. Nothing super special today. Always grateful for another day….

The run on Saturday afternoon was a light pace to preserve energy for the early morning half marathon on Sunday. Then played a little pickle ball on Saturday afternoon after my run. This morning was an early wake up call to prep for the half marathon. I started with a smoothie and banana. I don’t…

Ran this morning then ran to work! I feel like I am running late most days and really need to push myself out the door earlier…it’s just so dark and cold. Today was a busy Friday and I am so grateful for the early run to begin my day with a win. Even if it…
