I changed my profile picture to when I took first place in the Pioneer Day 10K (first place in my class). It's not the greatest picture, but a reminder to myself that I ran a consistant 8:00-8:13 minute mile in 3 races this summer. I ran 12 miles (recorded 11.18, but ran 12+) Saturday with Marion and the hip did not hurt afterwards. My knees and lower back were a little sore/stiff after, but not bad. I did extra stretching. So I hope to begin some shorter, faster mid-week runs--even if on the treadmill (just for speed/endurance). I'm excited to see my sis in Moab! Treadmill @6.5 and 3.0 incline, 300 sit ups, 50 push ups, 60 second minute planking.

Way to go with all of your awesome core work! Dang it girl! :D I am SO glad your hip was behaving :) Maybe the very slow long runs are going to make your hip a happy girl! I am happy to provide the service. I had so much fun on Sat. We took our kids to the other side of the lake for pics after church yesterday. The rocks did not make the same sound :( One cool thing I did hear was that on the other side, the ice will eventually push up out of the water and make cool formations. We are going to keep our eye on it. I'll let you know what I see ;) ...well if it is worth the drive ;)

I have been thinking about the lack of sore legs... I have been wanting to up my daily miles to 6, instead of the 5 I have been doing since last october. I am going to do it over the next few weeks. I am so excited! I LOVE running :)
