14 miler

Today I ran 14 miles, my longest run ever! It was a balmy 73 degrees. If you don't know much about running, 73 is hot! 55 degrees is the ideal temperature to run.

Normally I would have been excited for 73 since it has been hot, but this week it got down below 60! So I had some awesome runs this week! Which kind of made this run hard.

When it is cooler running is fun and exciting for me. When it is warm, it is hard and sometimes grueling!!! So I need to be grateful for those times when it is a joy and get through the ones that aren't.

I guess that is why running is quite often compared to life! There are so many similarities! Enjoy the good times and remember them when you are going through the bad!

Life since San Fran

So I don't think I have written anything since San francisco. I am back to training for another half in October. But ultimately I am training for a Marathon. Yes, a marathon. When making my training schedule, I didn't make it for a half, I made it for a full.

Blake is running the Tulsa full, and I want to run it too. I was going to sign up next week, but I also have to make sure we have babysitters.

Anyway, running has been hard. It has been hot and we just got back from traveling last week, then Blake went out of town. So it has been crazy. I think when the girls are back in school and we all have a better routine, we will all be happier. Which means momma will be happier and run better. I have been 30 sec slower. I don't know exactly why but I know I need to loose AT LEAST 50 lbs! So that is going along with all my running goals!

Oh, I am not cutting my hair until the Ogden marathon next may! Fun!
