In St. George for a little family reunion, short 3 miler, but even at 6:45 this morning it was 80 degrees....hot!  My dad rode his bike slowly while I ran, but even with walking a few times I managed to run it in 30 min. Not bad for me!!  I love the low altitude in St. G, it makes it sooooo much easier.

Well, I am really disgusted with myself for not running for two weeks.  I have to stop making excuses: like about air quaility.  I do have a treadmill for that purpose....any way today starts my day of new beginnings, I did a kick my butt sprints tm workout, 3.1 in 30 minutes is a good time for me.

okay, today was a tm run, I did a repeats preset with speeds up to 7.5, which is really fast for me.  Man the back of my thighs are really sore, but I guess it serves me right!  hopefully it will rain tomorrow to clear this smoke out of the air, you can't even tell we are surrounded by mountains anymore.....sad

well today should have been 3 miles, but I did bus work before working out, and didn't give myself enough time to run before going to the restaurant, but at least I did some, and am still on the right track! :)

Finally did a run outside today, I had to go clean my bus before school starts on Monday, so I ran to work, and had my kids meet me with cleaning supplies.  It was hard today, even though it was down hill in the beginning, but at least I finished!

Okay, so still sticking with the plan, ran 4 miles outside today, even after 9 it was only 70, but it still felt hot, but that's my fault for not getting an earlier start.....but at least I did it. I walked more than I should have, but I just kept thinking it was 4 miles more than most, whether walking or running.

bought a new pair of shoes, I think they are low end, but they are still a stability shoe, I think at least on the TM they will be sufficient.  Seeing as how it was already 73 degrees when I woke up at 5 am, I knew 9am would be way too hot for an outside run, so I did a sprint preset today.  New shoes felt good, I would like to try them outside on Thursday if it's not too hot!
