"If we don't suffer enough we won't remember it."

4 miles avg 7:32 pace.  I was so tired I just couldn't go any faster.  I definately need more sleep this week.

10 miles avg 7:03 pace with my husband on his bike.  I felt a little better than yesterday, but still hurt more than I should have for the pace I was running.

10 miles avg 6:55 pace.  I ran faster and felt a lot better than I did Tuesday.  I had a little more sleep the last few days, which was nice.  I was really busy with bookkeeping trying to get things done for people before April 15th, so I sat at my desk almost all day Mon and Tues, and a little in the morning Wednesday.  Wednesday afternoon I rewarded myself by doing yard work.  I got my boys to  help me move a bush that I decided was too close to the house.  Hopefully it will live.  We also sprayed weeds. 

4 miles avg 7:05 pace. The kids had a sleepover at their Grandma Esplin's house with their cousins because it's spring break. I went to bed at 11:00 p.m. and didn't get out of bed until 9:45 a.m. I woke up several times after about 7:00 a.m. but couldn't make myself get up until then. I think my allergy medication makes me drowsy. Once I get going I'm fine, but it's sure hard to get up.

23 miles avg 7:01 pace.  My husband came with me on his bike for the first 17 miles then he needed to take  my son to baseball practice.  We went up/down Provo Canyon and into South Fork.  As we got close to the house at mile 17 I wanted to be done.  I ran a little too fast coming down the canyon for several miles and was starting to feel it.  My pace was 7:00 average at this point.  I headed back up the canyon for another 6 miles though and managed to keep my pace about the same as I finished with a 7:01 average.  It was good to be done.  Three weeks to my next marathon.
