the week went as follows:

monday | run | four miles | out on the streets. did a four mile loop from the casa. felt pretty good, if I recall. maybe until the end. don't really remember.

tuesday | run | three miles | ran the liberty park loop. oh, picked up my stick from salt lake running company. I think this is going to revolutionize my life. I will end this cycle of tight muscles once and for all--I'm determined.

wednesday | ummm. . . | zero anything | okay, so I was planning on going to yoga. but then I got talked into going to a party instead. what's a girl to do? so yeah, it turned into a good quality rest day.

thursday | run | four miles | treadmill. I think it went well. can't remember anything specific.

friday | run | three miles | treadmill. kinda "raced" the girl next to me. sometimes I hate my competitive tendencies. really, it was just because she is one of those really good fast swimmers at masters, and I wanted to at least be better at her at running. needless to say I did have my treadmill cranked up higher than hers, and I wasn't even pushing it too fast, so that made me feel good about myself. I guess. like it really matters in the end, though. right?

saturday | run | ten miles | ten miles and I'm feeling great! seriously, I did not have as much of the usual aches/pains/tightness I usually do. ten miles was nothing. mentally, I think I'm right on track. and my body is following close behind. hopefully I can get it to the point where I can really push myself so as to reach that certain goal. it's kind of exciting. and scary. and I know there will be a lot of hard work involved. but maybe, just maybe I can do it.

What's that "certain goal", do you want to run your marathon in a certain time?

I thoroughly enjoy racing people on the treadmill! I think it adds some panache to an ordinarily boring past time. Keep up the good work, don't forget to swim once and a while!
