Hangin' Loose

Few days ago I saw the video on the SGM website.  And it gave me alot of motivation.  My back has been feeling good for the last 2 weeks.  So I am feeling confident.  And signed up for SG again in the lottery.  Last few yrs I have gotten in by the the running series or running the grand slam.  Only the first year did I get in only by the lottery.  So lets roll the dice and see if this will be my year to get my 5th in.:)

Got out for a run.  Was going to meet up with Pete.  Waited for him for 6 mins and then took off.  Was going to do a easy 2 mile run.  When I was about 1.5 miles into it ran into Pete.  He slept in a few mins.  So ran with him the last .5 or so.  Was a bit tough for say.  But not more then what I thought it would be.  And back felt pretty good during the run.  Going to run with him again on Thur morning if I can get him up at 4:30 :)

TT 18:34

Got in only 45 mins on the elliptical today.  Was going to go for a full hr but was cut short.  Had to race home to straighten up the house.  We have been tring to sell our house for the last past 2 and half months.  With not much luck really.  But last night for the first time we had 2 people coming around the same time.  Hope one of these finally will give us an offer.

Back felt good though on the elliptical though.  No problem there.  Just need to get back in better shape.

Windy with the colder temps(35) made for a chilly run this morning.  We didn't notice it that much though really.  Ran this morning for the first time in the early morning hours with Tim and Pete made it on time this time.  His watch was like 7 mins slower then mine.  LOL that would explain the mess up on  Tues.  My back felt just fine on this run.  Paces were alot slower with Tim which might be just what I need.

For our next run the plan will be to run at the Oval on Sat.  And I am sure if I run with Tim it will help to keep in slow.  And I wont worry about the distance so much as the time.:)

Hit the elliptical again.  And got in a full hr.  It felt good on the back.  And looking good so far in the training.

TT 65 min on elliptical

Did the 4 mile hill loop with Pete.  Perfect temps and really no wind.  Those running the SLC marathon are going to have a great race.  The uphill portion in mile 2 was a bit tough.  But its to be expected.  And the back felt good for the run.  Hoping to get in a 6 miler next weekend.  And 8 the week after.  To make Ogden's half a bit easier on me.
