Day 86 - rest day
Day 87 -
Workout was suppose to be 4 miles, but my workout ended up being 10 minutes straight up a hill. Chris & I had a nice chat with Hawk and he gave me some excellent advise about how to change my running form to prevent shin splints in the future and told me to run straight up hills to get rid of the shin splints that I have. He said that running up to the Y wasn't steep enough. It needs to be the steepest hill I could find. I run up a hill in North Orem. I was foolish and went at the hottest part of the day. Oh well! It was a great workout, even if it was only 10 minutes.

Day 85
Day 85
Track Workout:
4 laps warm up
7x800's at 10k pace
90 second rest between each 800m
2 lap cool down
My legs were still really sore from Saturdays run. So by the 3rd 800 I was dying. I wanted to quit. Then I thought I need to at least do 4 800's so that I'll of done half of them. At the end of the 4th I thought, ok I can do one more. By the time I finished the 7th I could hardly believe it. My legs (shins and right knee) really hurt, but I did it!

Days 83 & 84
After running 16 miles, I jumped right into the car and tried to make it to Keyan's race. BIG MISTAKE. I missed his race. He called, as I was about to get off I-15 to head over to AF High School, to say he had finished. If only I had run a little faster - GRRR... I did, however, run the 16 miles in under 3 hours, which made me happy. The worse part about all of this is getting into my car right afterwards and driving from SLC to Provo (since I didn't stop for Keyan's race). I am still paying for it 3 days later. My shins hurt bad. Going down stairs is the worst! Also after running my lower back hurt. I know, I need to be doing sit-ups. I don't like doing sit-ups. I wished I had one of those machines that's supposed to make doing them easier. They probably don't work though.
Day 83 - rest day
Day 84 - rest day
Day 85 - I ran around the park cheering Keyan on at his race. My kids would not say that I ran, more like tried walking fast, but moved like a person who'd been beat up! I think I may have warmed up my legs enough to get through tonight's track workout, but it's a killer so I'll have to wait and see if I make it.

Day 77 - rest day
Day 78 - rest day
Day 79 - track day
Workout:
4 lap warm up
3 sets of:
1200 meter (10k pace)
1 minute rest400 meter (5k pace)
3 minute rest
2 lap cool down
Chris had me run this at a faster than I normally would pace. I didn't like it very much at first, but after it was all over I didn't feel any worse off than when I run it slower and I get done a little faster!
Day 80 - rest day
Day 81 - cross-train
I went swimming for this.
Day 82 - rest day
I seem to have a lot of rest days! I don't think my body is made for running this much!!! However, I am hanging in there and I will finish this marathon. I just wished that it would get here already. I'm not a very patient person!

Day 76
workout: 10 miles
Since we had the yard sale this morning, I had to run around my neighborhood. Of course I had to make Chris come with me!

Yard Sale
We've been doing so much to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We had a yard sale in a parking lot off 7800 S. in West Jordan (I think). We each made a couple of hundred dollars. Every little bit helps!
