Logan's wife

i did 3 miles at 9:30-10min. mile pace and then did the last mile at about 8:30-9min pace. it felt ok. my hip has been bothering me so i didn't want to push it too much. i think the stupid spinning bikes at usu messed me up. maybe i'll just stay off them for a while and kind of go easy on my workouts. my mom just got her hip replaced last year and i don't ever want to go through that! i just signed up for my first triathlon so i had to keep training. i am way excited but nervous for it too. it is on march 29th and hopefully logan doesn't have a race that day so he can come watch (and know how it feels to be me waiting for him on a race day!!! waiting and waiting and waiting!!!) equally as hopefully i hope this hip thing doesn't get in the way. :O)

at swimming today we had the good swimmers in the class teach the suckier ones how to do the different strokes. i was a sucky one so we went around to the different lanes to get expert advice from our peers. it was pretty helpful and a good break for my hip...i wanted to get a better workout but oh well. tomorrow i can work harder and do better. there's always tomorrow! :O)

today was so hard!! she had us swim 75 yrds and then do push-ups or sit-ups lunges...we did probably 6 or 7 sets of this. it burned but in a good way. i think it's what i needed to get me back on track. my hip didn't hurt at all! that was the best part. well, i hope it's good weather this weekend because i'll have to run outside!

it was a semi-nice day so i got to run outside. i had to manage my way through snowy sidewalks and puddles but it was fun. i had to run almost in the middle of the street at times because the snow drifts were too big. i also had to take a potty-break at our cousins house. boy am i glad she was home. i could tell the air quality was pretty bad today because the air smelled like fire-crackers and i had bad asthma afterwards. despite the set-backs it was a good run and just felt good to be outside! at least i did not encounter a moose like logan did!!

I almost did a mile today!! I would have done it too but i ran out of time. it felt great! we did it in sets of 50 yards so it wasn't that hard. i definitely am feeling it now but that's a good thing. my hip is feeling a lot better and so i think i'll start adding a little biking back into the workout again. i might try to find a different bike to ride on..or maybe the weather will be fabulous and i can ride my bike outside!! wishful thinking i know but it would be awesome!

i shoveled! i think that should count as a good workout so i didn't do anything else today.

oh man!! we had a hard workout toady. we learned how to kick turn and i got about a million gallons of water up my nose!! it made my eyes water. then we got into teams and had relay races. it was really fun but we did a lot of them! my team won every race so it was great! :O) i had to give a presentation right after that and could barley stand up let alone move my arms! oh well, it turned out fine. i love swimming!!

i just did an easy 2...my hip hurt again. i swear my body is falling apart!! oh well. have a great holiday weekend everyone!

we hiked angle's landing in zion's today. it was perfect weather! there was still snow on the ground so we could not hike all the way to the end, but it was still pretty and just fun to be out in nature! on the way down i had to go to the bathroom so i ran the whole way. it was fun but today my legs still hurt going down stairs!! it was worth it though.

this week has been so crazy-busy! i had a 5-page paper due, a presentation, a test, and not to mention lots of lots of reading! i will be so glad when i am done with school!!! as a result of this my exercising has gone to pot.  my swim class was canceled this week because of he holiday so i wasn't even forced to workout.  anyhoo. now that i've caught my breath from this week i got to run this morning.  i felt great! talk about a stress release.  i love it!!! three cheers for running!

i just ran 2 miles but i went at a faster pace than i have been going lately. it felt good. sunday i threw my back out trying to stop a kid from hitting their head against the wall in primary....yeah it's a pretty physical church calling. i could barely walk yesterday so who knows when i'll be able to run properly. it was pretty funny though and logan makes sure to laugh about it as much as he can. :O) have a good one.

another horrible homework week. for some reason i can't start my homework until the night before it's due...even if it's a 7 page research paper. oh well. it got done and life is good once again. i could not exercise though and that was a problem. it was a beautiful day except for the fact that it was red air day! so i didn't want to run outside. i decided to go to the field house at usu and run on the track. i like doing that but i always see people i know and i have to stop and talk. it's great fun! i don't get a very consistent workout though but oh well. i saw an old boyfriend of mine there and was reminded of how grateful i am that i married logan!! (i dated some real bums!) logan is wonderful! anyhoo. i managed to get 3 miles in at about 9:30 pace and then did another mile of sprints/jogs. it felt great! hopefully i can keep up the running, swimming and biking from now on! i have the moab 5 mile next sat. and then my triathlon on march 29th!! i'm a little nervous but i think it will go well. :O) we shall see. have a good one everybody.

i had a major migraine so it was yoga for me today.  it helped a little but not much...i still had blindspots all night.  not fun.
